Knives & Pens

It was another hot California day, the sun was shining bright in the light blue sky with white clouds floating around carelessly. The heat was hot, but the cool breeze that came and went felt good. Andy sat on his couch flipping through channels on his flat screen TV, he couldn’t find anything good to watch, which there isn’t anything good on TV on a Saturday. Pandora was asleep on the second couch, the black blanket covering her waist down as her chest rise up and down as she took her breaths peacefully. She was tired and ended up falling asleep with her head in Andy’s lap and he was able to lift her up and put her on the second couch so she would be more comfortable, the reason she had a blanket was because the house was cold. Andy didn’t hesitate to turn on the air conditioner this afternoon. She had curled up a bit, almost in a ball, like she was trying to keep herself warm while being asleep, so Andy gave her a blanket. Lately her and Ashley had been busy trying to think of girl names for the baby, they had some options on the table, but Pandora wouldn’t tell Andy what the names were until they decided on a name. Andy finally found the TV show Drake & Josh and settled with that, yes he did like the show as it was hilarious and the only show on at the moment that he liked. He got comfortable, kicking his feet onto the coffee table and crossing his arms when suddenly Buttercup jumped onto the couch and got in his lap. He chuckled softly and petted the cat as it purred, Buttercup finally laid down in his lap and just made Andy out of a bed, which Andy didn’t care. He wondered where Crow was and as he was about to call her, when he spotted her laying beside Pandora sleeping. He smiled and continued to watch Drake & Josh with Buttercup, slightly laughing every once in a while. He was about to fall asleep himself when his cell phone started to ring, he slightly jumped, and sighed once he realized he got scared over his cell phone ringing. He picked up his cell phone to see Chris was calling, he slid his finger across the screen to answer it.
“Hello?”
“Hey, what are you doing?” Chris said on the other line, Andy straightened up a bit and tried not to move Buttercup who continued to lay in his lap.
“Watching Drake & Josh and becoming a nice comfortable bed for Buttercup,” Andy said, Buttercup looked up at him. “Yeah I’m talking about you.”
Chris chuckled. “Sounds like fun, what are you and Pandora doing today?”
“I don’t know yet, she’s napping right now.”
“Well, your mother and I decided to have a cookout since it’s so hot today and we were wondering if you and Pandora wanted to come over and maybe invite the boys if they aren’t busy?”
“Sounds good to me, I’ll wake her up and get her moving and we should be there soon.” Andy said, picking up Buttercup and placing her on the couch.
“I’ll call the others while you do that, be careful when you’re on your way. See you in a few.”
“I will, bye Dad.” Andy said, he hung up and got up from the couch. Approaching Pandora and slightly shaking her to wake up, she didn’t move, she just groaned a bit and continued to sleep.
“Pandora wake up.”
“No.” Pandora mumbled, Andy rolled his eyes.
“Get up.”
“No!” Pandora hissed, grabbing the blanket and pulling it over her head. He sighed and tried to think of a way to get her up, then he got an idea.
“If you get up, I’ll sing you a new song on the album.” Andy said, she pushed the blanket back and lifted up.
“I’m up!”
Andy chuckled. “Good, now get ready. Mom and Dad are having a cookout and we’re invited.”
“Wait a second Biersack, what about the song?” Pandora asked, as he was about to leave the living room to go get a shower.
“Oh yeah, about that,” Andy said, turning around and looking at her with a smile. “I may have lied about that just to get you up.”
Pandora gasped. “That was cruel!”
Andy chuckled and walked off, heading upstairs to get his shower going. Pandora glanced at Crow who laid beside her, looking at her and purring. Pandora smiled and petted Crow, feeling her soft fur. She got up then and left the living room, heading upstairs to her bedroom as Crow and Buttercup followed. She had already took a shower this morning so all she had to do was find her some clothes, she opened her closet and flicked on the light that was hanging from the ceiling. She started to go through her shirts, trying to find something that looked good and also fit. Her clothes were becoming tighter, and it was a little bit annoying and very uncomfortable, she knew she’d have to get new clothes soon. She found a tank top that she wanted to wear, and tossed it onto the bed, then went over to her dresser and found some shorts. The bedroom door was closed to give her some privacy, even though Crow and Buttercup was laying on her bed. Which they were just animals, it wasn’t like they were human beings. Pandora pulled on the tank top and looked down at her pregnant belly, sighing slightly as she saw her belly showing just a bit.
“Well, this tank top doesn’t fit.” Pandora said, taking off the tank top and tossing it back onto the bed and looking in the closet again for a shirt. It seemed as if she went through her entire closet looking for a shirt and couldn’t find a shirt that fit, she sat down on her bed and sighed, tears stinging her eyes as she felt overwhelmed with the clothes situation. That’s when she got an idea, she could borrow a shirt from Andy? She got up from the bed and grabbed her robe and tied it on to cover her body, as she was only wearing a bra and underwear at the moment. Andy’s bedroom door was closed so she knocked first, but didn’t get an answer. She sighed, but knew she needed to start getting dressed now. She gripped the door knob and turned it, pushing the door open, she saw something she wished she didn’t see. Andy naked.
“Oh god!” She squealed, slamming the door shut and feeling completely embarrassed. She didn’t see anything, just his back and butt.
Oh wow, I should’ve knocked harder and louder, or something. She thought, walking away and heading back to her bedroom. She closed the door and stared at the floor with wide eyes, payback or walking in on her while she was touring with him? Except she wasn’t completely naked. She didn’t know what to say, she’d apologize eventually, but at the moment she just wanted to pretend it didn’t happen. She went into her bathroom and washed her face, and decided to go ahead and do her makeup. She put on foundation, light eye-shadow that didn’t show, black eyeliner and mascara. She also put on lip balm. She tried to forget about seeing Andy’s full moon, but it seemed to replay over and over. She shook her head side to side, then put on her earrings and snakebites.
“Pandora?” Andy said, his voice close and deep. He sounded like he was in the bedroom, she swallowed hard.
“In here.” Pandora replied, Andy appeared and he leaned against the door way with a smile on his face.
“Ever heard of knocking?” He asked with a smile, Pandora turned red in embarrassment.
“I did knock!”
Andy chuckled and uncrossed his arms, stepping forward and pulling a piece of her hair behind her ear. “It’s alright, I guess now you can say we’re even?”
Pandora smiled. “Yes we are.”
Andy smiled in return, then glanced at her in her robe. “Nice look, but I’m sure you’ll have a heat stroke in that.”
Pandora frowned a bit. “I know, but none of my shirts fit. They’re too tight, or show the bottom of my stomach. I was wondering, if I could borrow a shirt?” Pandora said, Andy smiled and nodded.
“Of course you can, come on, you can pick whatever you want.” Andy said, holding out his hand for hers. She took it and he led her to his bedroom, his bedroom was huge as it was the master’s bedroom, and it was clean. He released her hand and opened his closet door, stepping back and motioning her to pick out any shirt she liked. She went through his shirts, seeing some Black Veil Brides shirts as well.
“Is it weird I have my own band shirts in my closet?” Andy asked, sitting on his bed.
“No, I’m sure other bands do that too,” Pandora replied, grabbing a plain black tee shirt. “Thanks for letting me borrow a shirt.”
“No problem, if you want you can have it?”
“Really?”
“No I’m lying, I want the shirt back and it better not smell like the girly perfume you wear.” Andy said, Pandora rolled her eyes.
“It’s definitely going to smell like a girl.” Pandora told him, leaving his bedroom and heading to her bedroom. She put on the shirt and found some shorts that would fit, she then put on her socks and shoes, then she was done. She grabbed her phone and left her bedroom, heading downstairs to find Andy. He was turning off the TV when she reached the last step, he did look good and ready to go.
“Alright, let’s go. I’m starving.” Andy said, grabbing the keys and heading outside. Pandora followed and headed towards the mustang while Andy locked the door, once he got done locking the front door he approached the mustang and hopped into the driver seat. He started the engine, rolled down the window and lit a cigarette. He turned on the radio, the radio station playing was a hard rock station. He put the mustang in reverse then backed out of the driveway, putting the mustang in drive and driving off carefully, as there was a pregnant woman in the passenger seat with him….

Chris and Amy’s house.
When Andy’s mustang pulled up in his parents driveway, he parked behind Ashley’s SUV. He put the mustang in park, then cut off the engine.
“Ready?” Andy asked Pandora as she unbuckled her seatbelt, she nodded and they both opened their doors and got out. They walked side by side as they approached the porch, and once Andy knocked on the door, Pandora was standing behind him.
“Come in!” Chris yelled inside, Andy gripped the door knob and turned it, pushing the door open and stepping inside the cool house. He saw Jake and Ella, Ashley, CC and Brittan, and Jinxx and shockingly Sammi.
“Hey guys!” CC greeted happily, getting up from the couch and running towards them. He ran past Andy and hugged Pandora, rocking her side to side.
“I see how it is.” Andy said, walking away sadly. CC giggled, and pulled back to look at Pandora.
“Is that Andy’s shirt?”
“Yes it is, and comfortable too.” Pandora replied proudly, CC laughed and that’s when Amy came into the living room with a warming smile. She hugged Andy, greeting him. While they hugged Pandora spotted Sammi beside Jinxx, and a huge smile came across Pandora’s face.
“Sammi?!” Pandora squealed, Sammi got up and held out her arms while Pandora basically ran towards her and hugged her tightly.
“Hey!” Sammi said with a smile, Pandora pulled back and looked at her.
“I missed you.”
Sammi giggled. “I’ve missed you too, the boys were just telling me a lot has changed since I’ve been gone. So is it true, are you seriously pregnant by that ladies man?” Sammi said, Pandora giggled.
“I heard that Sam!” Ashley hissed, Pandora nodded.
“Yes it is.”
“Aw, I love babies!” Sammi said, Pandora giggled when Sammi placed her hand on Pandora’s pregnant belly, waiting to feel movement or a kick. “Do you have a name yet?”
“No not yet, but me and Ashley are working on it. We don’t want to say anything about it though until we decide on a name, it’s a surprise.” Pandora replied, Sammi’s eyes widen a bit when she felt the baby move.
“Oh my gosh! That is so weird, but awesome!”
“Sammi, you’re going to drive her insane for another three months.” Jake said, Sammi rolled her eyes.
“Oh hush Jake.”
Ella got up from the couch and approached Pandora, giving her a hug. It seemed in that moment, everyone was hugging and saying hi, as if they hasn’t seen each other in months, or almost a year. Andy was a little shock to see Sammi here with Jinxx, he thought they were over for good, but it was nice to have her back. While the men sat in the living room talking, the women were in the kitchen getting the food ready. Amy said she didn’t need help, but the girls insisted they did. Ella’s duty was the baked beans, Brittan was helping Amy with the potato salad and Pandora and Sammi worked on the salad.
“Chris will do the hamburgers, I already gave him that duty.” Amy said, making the girls giggle.
“So Pandora, are you getting nervous about delivering?” Sammi asked, Pandora nodded.
“Yeah, I don’t like pain.”
“Are you going to do a home-birth?” Ella asked, Pandora giggled.
“Oh no definitely not, I’m going to the hospital.”
“I’ve heard you could be in labor for hours before you’re able to push.” Brittan said, Pandora frowned at the thought.
“Oh great.”
Amy giggled. “Trust me Pandora, no matter how long you’re in labor for, at the end it’s all going to be worth it. Because once you hold your daughter, you’re going to forget about all that pain.” Amy told her, Pandora smiled at the thought of seeing her daughter for the first time, it seemed amazing.
“You are going to do a baby shower right?” Sammi asked, Pandora nodded.
“I’m sure I will.”
“Good, because I want to help with it.”
“So do I!” Ella said, making the girls laugh.
“Hey don’t leave me out!” Brittan said, Pandora laughed.
“Alright, all three of you can help me with the baby shower.”
“Does your parents know you’re pregnant, Pandora?” Amy asked her, the kitchen went quiet it seemed and Pandora sighed.
“The other day I got a text message from my mom asking if I was pregnant, I didn’t respond back after I found out it was my mom. Andy changed my number though, so I guess since the rumor went around that I was pregnant by Andy she found out.”
“The boys won’t let your parents near you now, for sure.” Ella said, Pandora nodded in agreement along with the others.
“I think Ashley would get in a fight with your father if they tried to get near you.”
“I’m sure all of them would.” Brittan said.
“Let’s just hope it won’t come down to a fight, the last thing you need is that on top of pregnancy. Stress is the worse thing for pregnancy,” Amy said, Pandora nodded. “Chris!”
“What?”
“These hamburgers aren’t going to fix themselves!” Amy called, the girls laughed and suddenly Chris appeared with the boys.
“I was kind of hoping they would, besides I was busy spending time with the boys.” Chris said, Amy smiled.
“Well you can all spend time with each other fixing hamburgers.” Amy replied.
“Girls are mean.” Jake said, smirking at his words and heading outside to the back.
“I agree.” CC replied, following Jake.
“Why do you think I’m still single?” Ashley said, following after them.
“Because nobody wants you and your bullshit?” Jinxx joked, heading outside.
“Screw you Jinxx!”
Andy laughed and shook his head side to side, following after them all while Chris followed after Andy.
“Those boys, I swear.” Amy said, the girls giggled and finished cooking..

Once the food was ready, everyone got their plates and drinks and sat down at the table, which Amy and Chris was glad they got a big table.
“So, will you two give us a hint of what your naming Little Purdy Girl?” CC asked, that’s what he was calling the baby, since she didn’t have a name yet.
“No.” Pandora replied, Ashley chuckled.
“That’s not even fair!” Jake claimed, Pandora smiled.
“I want it to be a surprise, so when we tell you, you’ll know her full name immediately.” Pandora told them, but they still didn’t like the idea of waiting.
“I think it’s a perfect idea.” Sammi said, CC and Jake glanced at her.
“No one asked you!” They both said jokingly, making everyone laugh.
“We don’t even have a name yet.” Pandora told them both.
“But you probably have a list of the names you came down with that you’re deciding on already, right?” Jake asked, Pandora grounded her teeth.
“Well yeah but--
“Then tell us the names you have.”
“No!”
“Yes!”
“No!”
“I will force it out of you!”
“Andy!”
“Boys she’s not going to give in, so just leave her alone.” Andy said with a chuckle, CC pouted.
“Fine.” Jake said with an attitude, everyone giggled at his reaction, which made Ella kiss his cheek. They talked forever during dinner, even after they finished eating they were talking. But when Ashley took Pandora away privately to talk, it seemed like everyone began to grow suspicious of why Ashley wanted Pandora alone. He took her outside to the front porch, where they both sat on the steps.
“Have you thought of a name yet?” Ashley asked her, she nodded.
“I have one in mind.”
Ashley chuckled slightly that she didn’t tell him. “Well, what is it?”
“I like the name Courtney.” Pandora replied, Ashley thought and nodded, but then he got an idea of his own.
“I like it too, but I was thinking of something last night. I was messing around with our names and seeing what I could come up with, and I got the name Skye from your middle name. Since your middle name is Skylan.” Ashley said, Pandora’s eyes lit and she smiled as she fell in love with the name.
“I love it!”
“You do?”
“Yes I do, a lot.” Pandora said, he chuckled.
“Well that’s awesome, but since I chose the first name, you should choose her middle name.” Ashley said, Pandora nodded and looked at the ground in thought. It seemed at this moment so many middle names were going through her mind and she was deciding on the ones she liked.
“Marie?”
Ashley thought. “No.”
Pandora giggled. “Um, Rose?”
“No.” Ashley replied, Pandora frowned a bit in frustration.
“Ashleigh?”
Ashley smiled and he looked at her and nodded. “I love it, Skye Ashleigh.” Ashley said, not giving a last name yet.
“Chambers?” Pandora said, he smiled as he fell in love with the name.
“Skye Ashleigh Chambers.”
“I love it!” Pandora squealed excitedly, Ashley chuckled.
“I think we just named our daughter.” Ashley told her, looking at her stomach and placing his hand on her stomach with a smile.
“I think she’ll love it.”


“Guys!” Pandora squealed, running inside to the dining room where everyone sat. They all looked at her in confusion and concern, but she had a huge smile on her face.
“What?” Andy asked, his protectiveness for her coming out, rather she had a smile on her face or not.
“We decided on a name!”
“What?!” Jake yelled, CC jumped up from his chair.
“What is it?!”
“Yeah tell us!” Jake pressured, Pandora smiled and shook her head side to side.
“Skye Ashleigh Chambers.”
A smile lit everyone’s face as the name soaked in.
“Oh my god,” CC said, his voice low. “I love it!” He almost shouted, running towards Pandora and hugging her tight.
“It’s beautiful.” Ella claimed with a smile. Everyone loved the name and they all thought it was beautiful, and now that Ashley’s and Pandora’s daughter was named, they could call her Skye instead of baby…

Notes

Yes I brought Sammi back, I don't know if Jinxx and Sammi are still together. And I heard a rumor that Sammi has pictures of another guy on her Instagram, and Jinxx isn't following her on Twitter. So I don't know honestly :/
