It's Something Unpredictable...But In The End There's Right, chapter 1
"Tre, pass me the fucking nappy, will you?" Billie shouted at Tre's awestruck expression.
"Oh, okay," Tre retorted and went to the drawer next to the cupboard full of baby clothes and took out a new diaper. "There you go." He handed Billie the diaper. "Bill, are you sure of what you are doing?" Tre questioned.
"Yeah. Just shut up!" Billie said irritated. He changed the baby's old diaper. His hands trembled and in his mind, he was calling for help. "Oh good God!" he yelped. "What am I suppose to do next?"
"I thought you said you knew," Tre replied.
"Shut up, Tre!" Billie threw the old diaper into the bin. "I guess you just poured some powder, and then wrapped the new diaper around, right?" Billie asked, glancing at Tre with narrow eyes.
"How should I know? You are the father!" Tre shrugged. Billie sighed at his friend's help and gently wrapped the new diaper around Joey. "There you go!" He lifted his child and looked at him. "That wasn't so hard." Billie brought Joey closer to his chest and walked to the baby's bed. "In you go," Billie said as he placed the baby gently on the bed. He tickled the child which made him laughed and kicked in protest.
Tre ran over to the opposite side of where Billie was standing. "Hey! I want to make him laugh too," Tre whined. He started to make silly faces which caused Joey to cry.
"Tre! Stop it! You are scaring him!" Billie said and hit Tre's head.
"Fine!" Tre shouted back and stared at Billie angrily. He then marched out of the room, into the living room and turned on the television.
Seconds later, the volume of the television was getting louder and louder. "Tre! Turn that down! I'm trying to get Joey to sleep!" Billie ordered. Tre ignored him. "TRE!" Billie shouted, anger slowly rising. Eventually, Tre knowing his limits turned down the volume. Billie sighed and walked across the room to close the door, then, he returned to Joey. "Go to sleep, little fella," Billie whispered. He began to hum a lullaby. In the end, Billie fell asleep beside his son.
"Sweetie! Wake up! Billie, honey, wake up!" a familiar voice called and gently shook Billie's shoulder. He slowly opened his heavy eyelids.
"Oh, hi! You're back," Billie said sleepily and pushed himself up from the floor. "Ow! My legs are numb!" He hit his thighs to ease the numbness. After a while, the numbness had decreased and he waltzed into the bathroom where Adrienne was. He hugged his wife from the back. "How's your night out?" he asked and kissed her neck slowly trailing up to her cheek.
"It's fun." She giggled as Billie tickled her. "Billie...s-stop it. Y-you'll wake...J-Joey," she said between laughs. Billie did as he was told and hugged his wife closer. He rested his head on her shoulder and admired the way Adrienne wiped off her makeup. "What are you staring at, Mr. Armstrong?" she asked softly, looking at their reflection in the mirror.
"Nothing special. Just observing how pretty you are," he said huskily.
"Aww... thanks." She turned her head and kissed him.
"Mmm... thy sweet lips," he whispered when their lips parted.
"I hate to break it to you Romeo, but I need to change," she said softly. She laughed at his puppy dog eyes. "Sorry, but it wouldn't work."
He sighed and walked out of the bathroom, closing the door behind him. Adrienne changed into her pj's which was a silky dress. She brushed her teeth and put her hair down. She opened the door and chuckled quietly at Billie. He was sound asleep under the duvet. He looked like a 3 year old, she thought. She walked to Joey's bed and gently stroked his hair. She bent down and kissed the child's forehead. "Night, Joey." She then returned to the bed where Billie was sound asleep.
*5 Hours Later*
Adrienne was asleep when the phone rang She woke up immediately and took the receiver. "Hello?" she said sleepily.
"Adie? It's Mike."
"Oh hi, Mike! What's the matter?" she asked, sensing the disturbance in his voice.
"It's Tre. He's in an accident," Mike said. Adrienne froze.
"Where is he now? I s he alright?" she blurted out.
"He's in the local hospital. Ward 2."
"Okay, we'll be there." Adrienne place the receiver down.
Billie rushed down the white hallway until he saw Mike. "How's Tre?" he asked immediately. Mike pointed at the window in front of them, frowning. Billie looked through the window; Tre was lying on the bed, tubes were coming out from every direction, he was breathing through a machine. His head was wrapped up; the usual Tre looked so much more different. "Holy shit! What happened?!" Billie asked. "Is he okay?"
Mike looked at Billie. "The doc said that he might not wake up," Mike replied softly, his eyes covered in tears.
"Oh god!" Billie was shocked, his right hand slapped his forehead. "How?!"
"No one really knows, Billie except that it was a really bad crash," Mike said and sat on the red plastic chair and Billie did the same. His head now covered in his hands.
"Oh, okay," Tre retorted and went to the drawer next to the cupboard full of baby clothes and took out a new diaper. "There you go." He handed Billie the diaper. "Bill, are you sure of what you are doing?" Tre questioned.
