Chapter 1

Mike went down the stairs with a stretch and a big yawn. He looked over at his friend Davy who was looking eagerly at the calender and smiled.

"Due date getting close?"

"Yep. In a few weeks I'll be an uncle again." Davy flashed a cheeky grin.

"So what are you hoping for? A niece or a nephew?" Peter asked as he made french toast.

"I don't care."

"Oh come on Dave. You're the only boy in your family and you have no nephews. Just admit you're hoping the baby's a boy." Mike said.

"Hey as long as he's healthy I'm happy."

"A-ha." Peter smiled as he pointed at Davy.

"Okay. I admit it. I'm hoping she has a boy. But I'll love the baby no matter what it is." Davy smiled.

"Well I'm happy for you shotgun."

"Thank you!" Davy grinned again.

Micky stumbled down the spiral staircase, looking half asleep.

"Ahh! It's alive!" Davy cried earning a glare from Micky.

"Rough night?" Peter guessed.

"Yeah, didn't you guys hear the Babbits last night. All I heard was them yelling at each other and a bunch of door slams."

"Man, I hope everything's okay over there." Peter frowned.

"I-"

Mike was interrupted by a knock on the door.

"I got it." Mike said as he got up. He answered and was surprised by who he saw. "Hello Mr. B. It's not rent day."

"No. I'm not here for that. I don't know if you've noticed but me and the missus have been having problems."

"Oh we've noticed." Micky mumbled sleeply.

"Well...um how would you boys feel if I became you're fifth roommate?"

Micky answered that question by running from the room screaming.

"Great I'll pack a bag."

"Mike tell me this is a nightmare. He isn't really moving in with us. Is he?" Davy asked sounding scared.

"I think he might be Davy. He's packing." Mike said also sounding scared.

"Change the locks! Let's board up the door!" Micky cried.

"Right! I'll get the nails!" Davy said.

He and Micky started to leave when Mike grabbed their arms. "We have no time for that."

"Yeah, besides. Maybe it won't be so bad." Peter grinned.

The other Monkees looked at Peter as if he were insane.
