Chapter 8: The Day After
"Girls? Girls... GIRLS!" Gabriella exclaimed poking her head through the door to Bianca's room.
They both woke up with a fright and groaned.
"What?" Bianca asked.
"I am going to church, are you coming?"
"We will go next week" Bianca said.
"Fine but you better say extra prayers next Sunday" Gabriella said.
"Fine now close the door." Bianca said covering her head with her pillow.
Gabriella closed the door and the two girls fell asleep again.
--------------------------
"BOYS! What time did you get home last night?" Mrs. Potter said walking through the door to their room. They looked up at her and groaned.
"You mean this morning" Sirius said.
"I don't know around 4:30, all the more reason to let me sleep more" James said.
"Don't talk to me like that James!" his mother said sternly.
They just lay on their beds and pretended to listen to Mrs. Potter go on about how worried she was.
"So are you going to tell me how the party was or not?" she asked smiling as she moved James' legs and sat on his bed. He just put his legs on her lap again.
"It was good. I met the family, they like us, we danced, and played with her younger cousins" James answered.
"So I am guessing that these girls have magical ability?" Mrs. Potter asked.
"Why do you think that? And if they didn't would you be angry?" James asked.
"No not at all. But they did unpack their things very fast. Muggles usually take a few days to get organized" she answered.
"Well yes our girlfriends are magical" James said
"Aww, you guys are going out with them. James which one are you going out with?" she asked.
"The one with the longer hair, Bianca" he answered his eyes still closed.
"She was very kind when we met her and what was the other one's name?" Mrs. Potter asked.
"Candice" Sirius answered.
"Are they sisters?"
"No cousins"
"Wow" Mrs. Potter said, "I thought they were sisters. They look so much alike"
"Mum, I love you all, but can you please let us sleep. It is 11 and we only got what... five hours of sleep?" James asked.
"Yes alright, but you have to tell me more later" she said leaving the room.
"Finally" they both said. Falling asleep instantly.
-----------------------------------
KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!
"What now?" Bianca said as she and Candice stumbled out of bed, down the stairs to the front door.
KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!
"We are coming" Candice said as she opened the door. They found Nick and Belinda hand in hand smiling down at them.
"Is mum and dad here?" he asked.
"No, now where is my present?" Bianca asked, holding her hand out. She may still be half asleep but she didn't forget about his promise.
"Happy Birthday, sexy" Belinda said giving her a box. Bianca accepted it and noticed a shiny, diamond ring on her left hand and grinned. Candice was standing up against the wall falling asleep.
"Candice, she said yes" Bianca shouted hugging Belinda and Nick. Candice woke up instantly and hugged them both.
"Congratulations. I am a bridesmaid right?" Candice asked as she hugged Belinda and tried to punch Nick's arm, but it didn't affect him at all.
"Of course, both of you" Belinda said.
"Good, come in. Sorry we just woke up. The party was so good and we only got home at four-thirty." Bianca said putting the kettle on.
"How do you do it?" Belinda said sitting at the table next to Nick.
"What?" Candice asked.
"The really late nights, playing with the kids, dancing and still be able to get up the next morning"
"Well I guess we are use to it but it is hard to get out of bed sometimes" Candice answered.
"So how was the party?" Nick asked
"It was really good" Bianca said. Should i tell him about James? She thought to herself.
Candice looked at Bianca thinking the same thing. Candice knew that Bianca's would tell Nick but that would be a long way away, so she did.
"Yeah and Bianca has a boyfriend now" Candice said.
Bianca in the kitchen almost dropped the kettle, Belinda and Candice grinned but Nick's face completely changed.
"Who is he?" he asked,
"His name is James Potter" Bianca answered sitting at the table.
"When did you become ...you know?"
"Last night" Bianca answered, she was getting worried because he wasn't saying much, "Please just don't kill me or him. He is really kind and he met mum and dad"
"He met mum and dad?" Nick asked smiling.
"Yes and they like him very much." Bianca said.
Nick slouched in his chair, "Does mum and dad know you are together?" he asked.
"No not yet"
"Well because I am such a nice person and in a good mood I won't atop you from seeing him," Bianca smiled "BUT I want to meet him"
"Fine, we can arrange that. He is staying across the street" Candice smiled, happy for her cousin.
"How? That house is owned by the Potters. You know the most famous Aurors in the Ministry of Magic" Nick said.
"Wait you said he name was James Potter, Oh My God. Nice pick" Belinda said.
"He's a Potter? Well in that case marry him. He is loaded." Nick joked, they all laughed.
"So you are not going to kill me?" Bianca asked
"I guess not. You got me when I was happy." Nick answered.
"Open you present. I chose it. Your brother here chose something else but it was... what the word to describe it, well it was boring and more of a joke than anything." Belinda stated.
Bianca grabbed the present and opened it carefully. She removed the wrapping to find a charm bracelet with seventeen symbols on it.
"Each symbol represents your age" Nick said.
Bianca smiled as she looked at it. When she was five she loved doing ballet classes and she and Candice use to come home and make Nick watch the dance at least three times.
When she was sixteen she had at least ten pairs of jeans and she laughed as she saw a little pants hanging off the end.
"Thanks, I love it" Bianca said hugging her brother and soon to be sister-in-law.
"So what was Nick's idea then?" Candice asked.
"A hair straightening iron, but I thought the bracelet was b better because you can always blow-dry your hair." Belinda said. The girls just rolled their eyes.
"Speaking of hair, when did you get your cut?" Belinda asked Candice looking at her side fringe and Bianca's straight locks.
"We both got it don't yesterday afternoon at that big day spa near the shopping centre. Man there was some sexy guys there, and they give good massages" Candice said thinking back to their meeting with brad, Oliver, Usher and Chad.
"OK that is gross. Can we change the subject?" Nick said making faces of disgust.
"Mum and dad are at church. What are you going to be doing for the rest of the day?" Bianca asked Nick.
"I don't know. The other day I got a call from Aunty Joan saying that it is her birthday and she wanted to know if the family was coming. I don't know but we will have to talk to her about it" Nick explained.
"But she lives in South America." Candice said.
"Exactly, i think someone is trying to organize it without telling us. Something is not right" Nick said suspiciously.
"Well don't bring it up. We can't wait for them to tell us." Bianca said.
"And if they don't?"
"Then we hint that we know" Bianca said.
"I am turning you into the perfect little lair, aren't I" Candice grinned.
Belinda and Nick stood up, "We better go but we will be around later to tell mum and dad" Nick said. They said their good byes and drove home.
"I knew she would say yes" Candice said as they walked up the stairs.
"Me too. So... what do you want to do today?" Bianca asked, as they looked through their wardrobes for clean clothes to wear.
"I don't know, lets just chill and hang out here today and tomorrow we can go shopping" Candice suggested.
"But we have bought like everything at the shopping centre" Bianca whined,
"So we will go to the bigger one. I can't remember what it is called but you know the one about twenty minutes away?" Candice asked.
"Oh yeah. I forgot about that one. Ok we can go there but I have to ask dad for money" Bianca said. They took turns in having a shower and unfortunately washing their hair. Bianca didn't want to wash away her straight hair but she had to.
-------------------------------------------------------------
It was around 12:00 and the boys finally decided to get out of bed and get something to eat. The walked down the stairs into the kitchen where they found a note.
Boys,
You father and I have gone to go visit your aunty for the day. We didn't ask you because we knew you wouldn't come. Be will probably be back later so here is some money for you to by lunch and dinner. We will see you later.
Love Mum.
P.S. Don't let Sirius cook anything.
P.S.S. Lock the door and if you use the car be careful.
P.S.S.S. I you see the girls behave like gentlemen.
James and Sirius read the letter and snorted to themselves as they made their toast top eat. They sat at the table and tried desperately to keep their eyes open while eating.
"What are we doing today?" Sirius asked, the silence was making him sleepy.
"I don't know, we will probably see the girls if not i plan on sitting around sleeping or watching movies" James answered. Sirius nodded in agreement.
They finished their breakfast and went upstairs to get changed.
--------------------------------
Bianca and Candice were sitting in the lounge room watching a movie, when Bianca's mobile started ringing.
"Hello?" she answered as Candice turned the movie softer and watched her cousin.
"Hi, Bianca. I need a favour from you and Candice" a voice said on the other end.
"Ok hold on, let me put you on speaker" Bianca said. She put it on speaker and they sat closer to the phone.
"What can we do for you?" Candice asked.
"Well I need you both to work for the next two days." they both groaned. "I know you have the holidays off but Jennifer is sick and won't be in. Please I really need this favour; otherwise I will have to cancel the classes."
They girls thought about it. They weren't really doing anything if hanging with the boys was doing something.
"I will pay you double the amount" the voice said.
"DEAL" they both said quickly.
"We will see you tomorrow morning at nine" Bianca said, before hanging up the phone.
The girls worked at the community centre teaching three different classes together. They taught younger children how to do ballet and they taught teenagers hip hop dancing and self-defense. They thought it would be a good job to do in their spare time and they asked some other people to help them but they were all busy.
"Does this mean we are teaching all three classes?" Candice asked.
"I guess so" Bianca answered, as Candice groaned.
"Well at least we will have something to do" Bianca said.
"But I wanted to hang out with the boys tomorrow." Candice whined.
"Well if they aren't doing anything we can go over and ask them if they want to come." Bianca suggested.
"Really? Lets GO" Candice said jumping up from her position on the couch, but Bianca pulled her down.
"After the movie" she said. Candice tried to stand up again but it was hard because Bianca was hanging from her jumper.
"FINE" Candice said.
The movie finished about an hour later and Candice practically ran out the door dragging Bianca along with her. They went across the road and knocked on the door. The door opened 6to reveal to very tired looking boys. They brightened up when they saw the girls.
"Well you look tired" Bianca commented as they nodded and let them inside.
"I don't know how you do it" James said kissing her on the lips as they sat on the couch. Sirius and Candice did the same.
"So, what were you boys doing?" Candice asked.
"just sitting around" Sirius answered with his arms around her.
"Well what are you doing tomorrow?" Bianca asked.
"Nothing, why?" James replied,
"Well we work at the community centre. It is like fifteen minutes away and we are working but we want to know if you guys wanted to come with us" Bianca explained.
"What time?" Sirius asked.
"Well we start working at nine, but if you come then we can go tolunch or something after." Candice proposed.
"Ok, we will meet you outside tomorrow morning." James finished.
"i am so tired" Sirius said.
"Aww poor baby" Candice said. They had a moment so James and Bianca decided to ignore their lovey-dovey ness and talk.
"Why don't we go to the video shop and hire movies. You know have a movie marathon" Bianca suggested.
"Sounds good to me. Where is the video shop?" James said,
"Um... a few blocks away" Bianca answered. They both stood up and moved to the door.
"Guys are you coming?" James asked. They didn't respond.
"Candice get off your lazy arse and in my car, right now" Bianca ordered. Candice stopped kissing Sirius and walked out the door without saying a word. The boys looked at Bianca with raised eyebrows.
"You too" she said to Sirius as he got up and strolled out with his hands in his pockets.
"I need to take lessons from you" James said as he closed the door behind him.
Bianca just laughed as they got into the car and drove to the video shop.
--------------------
They pulled up outside the store and went in. They all split up and went to find a movie. Bianca and James were looking and movies on the shelf when they heard a squeal.
"What's going on?" Bianca asked as she and James went to investigate. They looked into the next isle to see Candice being chased by Sirius. Candice ran and hid behind James because he was tall.
"Out of the way Prongs" Sirius said.
"Sirius we are in a public place" James laughed as Candice ran into the next isle. Bianca shook her head and ignored their childish behavior, even if she did think it was cute.
They chose three movies. Anacondas Save the Last Dance and Honey. They drove back home and parked the car.
"Where are we going to watch them?" Candice asked.
"Come to our house" Sirius said. They walked to the door.
"Sirius do you have the keys?" James asked,
"No i thought you did" Sirius said. The girls started laughing.
"Great now we are locked out" James said.
"Not for long. Just wait here." Bianca said. She gave the movies to James and she ran somewhere with Candice.
They boys saw them climbing up a tree.
"Candice you check that window and I will go through the boy's room, and DON'T break anything" Bianca said.
The boys were waiting by the door. They could no longer see the girls because the tree branches were too thick.
------------------
Bianca sat on the branch and leaned forward o open the window. She opened the window and tried to carefully jump in. She stood and took her balance before jumping through the window. She landed net to the boys bed. She smiled to herself as she walked out of the room and toward the stairs.
-----------------------------------
Candice tried to open the window and with a lot to strength it finally opened and she climbed in before she fell off the branch. She didn't realize which room she was in until she closed the window.
"Mr. and Mrs. Potter live in style, man" she said to herself looking around. There was a large bed in the middle of the room with wardrobes in the far corner. There was a comfy chair and a bathroom to the left.
She came back to her senses and walked out the room and down the stairs. She saw her cousin open the door for the boy so she went straight to the couch. she took her seat and started fixing her nails.
Bianca opened the dor, "Ok, you guys just keep surprising us so i am just going to expect the unexpected." James commented walking in with Sirius.
"You have no idea what you have got yourself into" Bianca said kissing james ion the cheek and ditting next to Candice.
"Where did you come from?" james and Sirius said together when they saw Candice watching the,.
"I was here the whole time" she said. "You parents have a nice room"
"I must be really tired" Sirius said walking into the kitchen to go get popcorn and other unhealthy items before returning once again.
"Which movie first?" James asked.
"Any" the girls said. Bianca adjusted herself so she was leaning against the armrest.
"Anacondas" Sirius said, excitedly forgetting he was supposed to be tired.
"Yeah, whatever" Candice said.
James put on anacondas and sat next to Bianca on the sofa. She put her legs over his lap and snuggled into his chest as he put his arm around her. Sirius and Candice were laying the most awkward looking position but the looked comfy and content.
The movie started and they sat in silence. They were a sound now and then of chips being munched or bowls being passed around.
The girls gasped and squealed, as the anaconda swallowed a man whole. They held onto their boyfriends and covered their eyes with their shirts, currently balled up in their hands.
"Are you okay?" they asked and the girls just nodded. They usually don't get scared with these types of movies but that was unexpected and happened so fast.
The movie went on and the girls relaxed more. It finally finished and they stretched a bit.
"That was boring" Candice said. They just laughed at her and put the next movie on, 'Save the Last Dance'.
The movie was more enjoyable for the girls and most of the movie consisted of Candice and Bianca adding a few comments. Some were, "I can do that's, "That is easy"s and 'he is hot' although mostly from Candice.
They were going to start the next movie but Bianca's phone rang.
"Hello?" she said. "Hi, mum. What's up?"
"No I am across the road at the boy's house. Candice is with me. We are just watching movies" Bianca said rolling her eyes. The others laughed.
"Why? Is something wrong?" Bianca asked. Candice stood up at that and waited worriedly.
"Well if nothing is wrong then what is so urgent that we need to come home for?" Bianca asked but her mother hung up the phone. Bianca sighed.
"Sorry boys. We have to go. We will see you tomorrow at 8:45 sharp" Bianca said. They girls said goodbye and walked across the street.
They went inside and saw mostly of the family standing around. Of course the kids were there.
"What is going on?" Candice asked looking around. She saw her parents and Tanisha. She was about to ask where Baby Candice was when she heard a cry from upstairs.
"I will get her" Bianca said walking upstairs.
--------------------
She went up into her room and found a crying baby o her bed surrounded by pillows so she doesn't roll anywhere.
"I'm coming" Bianca said picking the baby up and rocking. She paced the room a bit but Candice wouldn't stop crying.
"What's wrong? Poopy nappy... no. I know you are hungry" Bianca said. She wrapped the baby up in a blanket and walked downstairs.
She had a feeling that Nick was going to tell everyone that they are getting married but went into the kitchen anyway.
She made a bottle and sat down next to Candice. Baby Candice stopped crying and drank from her bottle happily as nick and Belinda stood up in front of everyone.
"Hello. Now everyone is probably anxious to know why you are here" Nick started, "Well I took Belinda away for the weekend and we had a great time."
"Get to the point", Brian said. He wasn't very patient when surrounded by a lot of people.
They didn't say anything more. Instead Belinda held out her left hand so everyone could see the bright diamond ring on her finger.
It took everyone a moment or two to figure it out. When they did it was like a stampede. Everyone wanted to hug the engaged couple. Bianca, Baby Candice and Candice moved over to the stairs so they weren't squashed by everyone.
Baby Candice finished her bottle and was falling asleep once again. Bianca and Candice carried her upstairs and put her in her spot between the pillows. They decided to stay and wait for everyone to calm down.
They laid on either side of the sleeping baby whispering to each other.
"When are we going to tell them?" Bianca asked softly and the baby held onto her finger.
"I don't think we should" Candice answered.
"We have to tell the sooner or later" Bianca told, covering Candice with the blanket a bit more.
"Why don't we let them find out themselves?" Candice suggested, smiling down at her sister.
"But I feel so dishonest"
"It isn't like you are lying to them about who you are" Candice said. "You are just not telling them a little factor of your life"
"Well I still think it isn't good to be lying like this but we can tell them another time." Bianca agreed.
She saw Candice smiling down at her sister and wondered if Candice heard what she just said.
"You know she looks just like you when you were little" Bianca said.
"Who would you know? You were only a month when I was born" Candice said looking up at her cousin.
"But I have seen photos and everyone says it. Tanisha looked like you as well" Bianca replied.
"Yeah, I guess so. I feel sorry for Tanisha though"
"Why?"
"Because she hardly gets any attention anymore and she looks so sad sometimes" Candice answered.
"Well then why don't you give her the attention she need?" Bianca suggested.
"She hats me. She is still angry because I took my pink undies that she was hiding in her draw."
"Well by her pink undies, and she doesn't hate you. She just thinks that you don't like her as well." Bianca said.
"I guess you are right." Candice said.
"I am always right" Bianca said making Candice giggle.
"I think they have calmed down. Did you want to go down there?" Candice asked.
"And risk our lives, I don't think so. Let's just stay up here and sleep with baby" Bianca said. They both snuggled loser to the baby and fell asleep.
