More of A Burden

Billie Bob Taylor

I walked back into the house to find Pedro was somehow casually strolling past on his day off with a feather duster as if he actually did any of the cleaning in the mansion. When he heard me enter he dramatically gasped, "Oh Bobby I didn't see you there."

"Shouldn't you be resting?" I teased as I closed the door behind me. 

"I was but Benedito required my assistance," he beamed, "You look like someone who just got good news."

"I did," I nodded with a grin. Pedro's eyes sparkled and knowing him; the eyes and ears of the Pereira manor, he probably already knew the latest gossip. If there was one person you could get information from it was him. "Would you like to know the good news?"

"Oh," he pressed his hand to his chest, "I wouldn't want to dig my nose into- yes."

We both let out a laugh at his antics. "I'm going to be a big brother."
