When Lightning Strikes Sixx: A Tommy Thayer & Nikki Sixx Story)

Chapter 8-It's Been A month, you can't still be Hung Over! (Eric Singer POV)

A/N: Oh things are really going to start to get interesting now!

Tommy's really been acting strangely here lately, well especially in the past month. See, everyone knows now if they didn't at first that Nikki Sixx and Tommy BOTH got really drunk & slept together, more on that in a moment. Anyway, Tommy's been extremely moody, and he looks super pale and tired all the time and he's a lot snappier with everyone, well except Nikki because he won't talk to him at all though I can tell he wants to or at least part of him does. Currently I am in bed with my boyfriend: Mick and we are just simply holding each other, I sigh heavily.

"Eric? What's wrong Cat...No wait.... you're thinking about what's going on with Tommy, aren't you?" My boyfriend really is the wisest person I've ever met or known and its one of the many things I love about Mick Mars.

"Yeah, yeah I am.... He's been acting stranger than he has been since he'd told me about the morning after his drunken night with Nikki and said night.... Anyway, Nikki's been acting weirder too, but I really am worried about Tommy. I know there's no way in hell he can STILL be hung over or it be the flu...no I think that...", I trail off. Left unspoken.... I think...no I fully believe or suspect that Nikki got Tommy pregnant, all the signs are there.

"You think Nikki got him pregnant, don't you? Eric, I think it fits very much so with what I've noticed. Nikki seems more shamed and sadder; I think there's a lot more going on there than we know.... not that it excuses Nikki's treatment of Tommy in the least. But they do need to talk to each other, and soon.", See? This is just part of why I love Mick so much.

"I believe despite everything; Tommy should tell Nikki.... but we have to find out for sure if Tommy is indeed pregnant---" Mick cuts me off.

"Sorry babe, but maybe we should go check on Tommy and...well we should get some pregnancy tests or something.... I don't think this should wait."

"Ok, Mick...ok let's go do this. Something tells me Tommy is up and can really use the company.", Tommy really shouldn't be by himself right now, I just hope we're doing the right thing here.

Mick and I pop down to a pharmacy, which luckily wasn't far from the hotel and got the pregnancy tests, some stuff to hopefully help settle Tommy's stomach etc..... However, I had noticed before we left a certain raven-haired figure peek out from his room, hmmm. However a quick glare from me, sent Nikki scrambling and closing the door to his room. 

We head back to the hotel and straight to Tommy's room and knock...and sure enough he answers the door looking like he just got sick and could get sick again....

"Mick? Eric? W-what are you guys doing here?" Tommy trembles slightly arms wrapped around himself. My heart drops.

"We know you've been sick and all and we got you some stuff and figured maybe you could use the company. And we need to talk...", Tommy reluctantly lets us in but sticks his head out the door looking around for a moment and I know he's looking for Nikki. Tommy closes the door and sighs heavily, but gradually comes to lay down on the bed, looks like he's feeling dizzy, thankfully it seems to pass at least for the moment. Not surprised that Mick speaks first...

"Tom, Eric & both feel that this couldn't wait. You've been sick for a while now and we're worried. It's been a month since you and Nikki got wasted and slept together.... don't feed us bullshit about you still being hung over or the flu...."

Tommy's eyes widen and he starts crying, Mick gestures to me and I nod giving Tommy the tests and the ginger ale, water and crackers and stuff. Tommy gulps and trembles upon seeing the pregnancy tests.

"Guys...no...just no...I can't—N-Nikki...no."

"Tom, I believe you know what's going on deep down and are scared to admit it. I don't blame you, but I am telling you that maybe for better or worse, you should do this...", Mick's tone is slightly stern, but his eyes are soft.

"Tommy please...I know your scared, but we are here for you.... just go take the tests. Reluctantly Tommy goes to the bathroom, clutching the tests and only moments later Mick & I hear retching, then relative silence.

"Mick? Are we doing the right thing here? What about Nikki?", I sigh as Mick squeezes my hands.

"Yes, it needs to be done.... we will support Tommy thru this and as for Nikki? Well, I'm telling you...he's pushed Tommy too far yes, but at the same time there is more to it. Tommy & Nikki both need to have a serious talk...they love each other. But so much damage has been done, and as much as I want to kick Nikki's ass...well if Tommy is pregnant for better or worse, Nikki needs to know he has a child or will have one. However, Tommy, I can't blame him if he doesn't want to tell Nikki...Nikki DOES need to see just how far he's pushed Tommy away." Mick says no more as Tommy emerges from the bathroom, crying and trembling.

"I-I-I'm pregnant...oh god!! Nikki's going to hate me even more.... I...oh god! I love N-Nikki...." Tommy seems to get a sudden dizzy spell and before he can meet the ground, I catch him as he passes out cold. Whether it's from announcing he's pregnant or from the fact that he's ill from being pregnant.... But I believe it's both.

I Believe Tommy won't tell Nikki, but I believe Mick is right...doesn't mean though I won't kick Sixx's ass at some point or rake him over the coals, depends on how generous I am feeling. Nikki needs to see just how much damage he's done and confront his feelings...and so does Tommy on the feelings part.

Mick helps me put Tommy back in bed and I cling to my boyfriend.... How I wish things were better for Tommy. God knows he deserves it.

A/N: Can't wait to hear thoughts on this!! Next two chapters will be from Tommy's POV & his thoughts and feelings....things are going to get even more emotional and interesting!
