Grandma
Brandon
walked into Dylan's home which with in the last month it became his home too.
He sighed and laid his keys on the table by the door. He exhaustedly plopped
down on the couch. This last month had been one hell of a wild ride. Brandon
and Dylan came out about there relationship. Their friends welcomed it but a
couple people namely Brenda and Kelly just couldn’t accept it but Brandon
hadn’t expected them too. What he didn’t expect was how well his family took
it. Sure they had been shocked at first but they eventually came around to it
and welcomed Dylan. They had told Brenda after they told his parents and oddly
enough it was his dad who came to their defense when she threw her fit.
Another
thing that happened during the last month was Steve and David came out and told
everyone about their relationship. It had really surprised everyone that Steve
was gay. He had always been such a woman chaser. He explained to everyone that
it had been just a lot of talk to cover up his true feelings for David. He had thought
David was in love with Donna but at a party one night David had walked up to
Steve and kissed. Steve had finally figured out where David’s true feelings had
been all along.
Brandon
looked out the window behind the couch when he heard a car pull up in the
driveway. It was David. ‘Wonder what he wants?’ He stood and walked over
to door. At David’s knock Brandon opened the door and frown. David was crying
and shaking. “David what’s wrong?” He took his hand pulled into the living
room. “Is it Steve?”
David
shook his head, “No not really.” He sighed and hung his head. “I haven’t been
feeling well lately. Remember Steve telling you about it?”
Brandon
nodded, “Yea. I remember. Why don’t you sit?”
David
smiled, “Thanks. Anyway I went to the doctor today to see if it was the flu or
what.”
"What
did the doctor say?"
"I...I
have to get another test done."
"What
kind of test?"
"A....a
pregnancy test."
Brandon
stared at David for a few moments...stunned.
"Have
you told Steve?"
"I
wasn't going to tell him until I knew for certain."
"Ok.
When are you getting the test done?"
"Today.
I just...I can't go by myself."
"Well
your not. I'm going to go with you."
"Really?"
Brandon
sat down next to David and pulled him into a hug.
"Of
course I will. Hell I'll even take the test with you."
"Thanks
Brand. You’re a true friend."
*at the
doctor's office....
"I
can't believe you actually took the test with me."
"Hey...I
said I would."
"I
didn't think you two even had sex yet."
"Oh
we did...."
***************
Brandon and David sat beside each
other in the doctor*s office. Each one praying for a good outcome. Both praying
for the same thing that their lovers wouldn*t have a fit if there was going to
be a new addition to the world. They both looked up and held there breath has
the door to the office opened.
"Well I have both of your
results. Would you like to be here together to hear them or privately?"
Dr. Martin asked.
David spoke up and said,
"together. I don’t know if I could handle this by myself." He
fidgeted in his seat. It took all of his will not to get up and pace the floor.
He didn*t know what he hoped for. He wanted a child..No he wanted Steve’s child
but was now the right time. Steve partied an awful lot.
Brandon wasn’t really worried
about the test. Well he was worried a little what if he was pregnant. What
would Dylan say? We’re they really ready for a child? The more he thought about
it the more he wanted to fidget like David. "What*s the verdict
Doctor?"
Doctor Martin sighed, "I’m
afraid you’re both very pregnant."
David sighed and closed his eyes.
"Oh god." He felt tears slowly run down his cheeks.
Brandon sat in shock, "I’m
pregnant." He didn’t know what to do. They had been so careful. *Oh god
what*s Dylan going to say?*
Doctor Martin sighed. It wasn’t
easy to give such young people news like this. "There are the options
available you know adoption and abortion. Although I strongly suggest you talk
to the father before you make any decisions."
Both men nodded their head.
Doctor Martin stood, "Please
take as much time as you need. You’ll both need to make an appointment with me
again for next week. No matter what your decision is. Understood?"
Again both men just nodded.
David wiped the tears from his face,
“Bran.”
Brandon looked over at his clearly upset
friend. “Yea David.”
David sighed and rubbed his eyes, “Can I
tell Steve at your house? I don’t want to do this alone. I don’t know what I’m
going to do. What if Steve doesn’t want this baby or me after this. I don’t
want to lose him.”
Brandon did the only thing he could do.
He stood up and pulled David into his arms. “Calm down. It’s going to be okay.
I’ll call Dylan and tell him to call Steve over to the house. We’ll do this
together. I promise.”
David nodded, “Okay Bran. I can’t lose
Steve. I love him.”
Brandon nodded, “I know.” He didn’t know
what else to say to comfort David when he was having the same anxiety. “Let’s
go out to the car and I’ll make the phone call. We’ll take the long way home.
Give Steve time to get there.”
David nodded, “Okay.” He walked behind
Brandon out of the doctor’s office. Stopping at the registration desk. He let
Brandon make him an appointment because he couldn’t think at the moment. He
walked slowly out of the office. “I think I’m going to lose him Bran.”
Brandon shook his head, “Don’t talk like
that. You’re not going to lose him.” He unlocked the car and watched as his
emotionally drained friend slid into the passenger side. He laid his head on
the top of the car. ‘Dylan I hope you’re home because I need you.’ He
opened up his door and got in. Sighing he picked up his phone and punched in
memory 1. After 3 rings Dylan picked up. “Hey honey its me.”
David looked over at Brandon wonder how
he could so calm and collected. He looked closer at Brandon and saw his hands
were shaking. It made him feel better that he wasn’t the only one nervous as
hell. He listened to the phone conversation. Apparently Steve was already at
Dylan’s place. He heard Brandon tell Dylan to have Steve stay at the house
because they were coming.
Brandon hung up the phone and sighed,
“Steve’s already at the house so he’ll be there when we get there. Would you
still like to take the long way around?”
David shook his head, “No I would like to
get this over with.” His voice was rasp from the tears he was holding back.
Brandon nodded, “Okay.” He put the car in
drive and took off towards Dylan’s.
*********************
It took about 20 minutes to get from the
doctor’s office. It had to be the longest 20 minutes of either man’s life.
Pulling up into the driveway Brandon turned off the ignition and just sat
there. “We have to go in sometime. If we sit here very long they’re going to
know something’s wrong.”
David nodded and opened his car door. He
tried to put a less grief stricken face on but he just couldn’t muster even a
half smile. He let Brandon walk ahead of him. He couldn’t bring himself to do
anything more the shuffle again.
Brandon walked ahead of David and opened the door. He heard his
boyfriend and Steve laughing in the living room. ‘At least they’re in a good
mood.’ He reached back and held David’s hand. He gave a gentle friendly
squeeze.
David felt a little better since Brandon
was going to be there. He didn’t know what he would have done if he had to do
this alone. He looked over to the couch and saw Steve’s smile turn into a
frown. He took a deep breath. “Hey.”
Steve frowned, “Hi sweetie.” He knew
something was up from the look on David’s and Brandon’s faces. “What’s going
on?”
Brandon sighed and turned to David, “Listen
I’m going to talk to Dylan in the kitchen. You stay here in the living room and
talk to Steve.”
David shook his head, “No please I can’t do
this alone.” He held on to Brandon’s hand tighter. “Please you said you’d be
here.”
Brandon nodded, “I am going to be here.
I’ll just be in the other room. I promise to come right out if need be okay.
You can do this just be strong.” He slid his hand out of David’s. “It’ll be
okay.” He turned toward Dylan, “ I need to talk to you in the kitchen please.”
Dylan looked at Brandon strange but nodded,
“Okay.” He followed Brandon into the kitchen.
David stood frozen in spot not looking at
Steve. ‘Oh god what am I going to do. I’m going to lose him.’ He jumped
when he felt hands on his arms. He looked at Steve’s troubled agaze. He
shivered and feared this would be the last time he’d see Steve’s perfect blue
eyes.
Steve was starting to get really worried
now. “David what is it? Tell me what’s going on.”
David stepped away from Steve and sat in
the chair that Dylan had vacated not a minute ago. “Remember how I told you had
a doctor’s appointment today to see why I had been sick lately.”
Steve nodded.
David continued quietly, “Well they did
the usual standard tests and they didn’t find anything. So the doctor decided
to do more tests. They wanted me to take a...” He paused the whispered even
more quietly, “pregnancy test.”
Steve’s eyes grew impossibly wide and his
mouth fell open. He didn’t say anything.
David sighed but pressed on, “I was so
scared and I couldn’t find you so I came here. I asked Brandon to go with me.
He said he would go with me. So he and I went to the doctor’s office and I had
the test.” He looked up at Steve. “I’m pregnant Steve.”
Steve’s mouth fell open again. “YOU’RE
WHAT!! How can you be pregnant? We’re always careful. What did you do! How
could you do this to me!”
David felt the tears well up in his eyes
at what Steve was saying. He knew this was going to happen. He was going to
lose the one thing that matter most to him in the whole world. Steve. He sat
back and let Steve yell at him.
Steve paced back and forth, “Jesus Christ
David what the hell were you thinking? We can’t have a fucking kid now! We’re
only 22. We’re just able to party and do all the funny shit! We can’t be
strapped down with a kid. Damn it David!!”
David burst into tears. He sobbed and
cried at all the hurtful things Steve was saying. How could the man he loved
say all these things. “Steve...”
Steve shook his head, “No David I don’t
even hear your excuses! I have to get out of here!” He grabbed his coat and
slammed out the door. He left David sobbing violently in the chair.
******************************
Brandon and Dylan ran into the living room
after they heard the door slam. They also heard all thing things Steve said to
David.. They found David in the chair sobbing his heart out. Brandon pulled him
into a hug.
“Shhh
David it’s going to be ok.”
“How
Brandon. How is it going to be ok? I lost him. I’ll have to raise this baby all
by myself.”
“No you
won’t. You are going to stay here with us.”
David at
them, the tears still falling down his face.
“Really?
You would let me stay here?”
“Oh
course David! Your our friend and we love you.” Dylan said, pulling David and
Brandon into a group hug.
“Come on
Dav, you can lie down in our bed while I talk to Dylan.”
“O ok.”
Brandon
lead David to their room and got him settled. It didn’t take David long before
he fell alseep.
Dylan
looked up at Brandon as he came into the room.
“Is he
going to be ok?”
“I don’t
know. I feel so bad that I can’t say anything to him to make him feel better.”
Dylan
pulled Brandon into his lap and kissed him.
“I know
hun. So I heard you got checked out too. Anything I should know?”
Brandon
fell silent and Dylan became worried.
“Baby...You
can tell me.”
“I’m
scared to.”
“Why? I
love you. I’m not going anywhere.”
“Dylan...I...I...”
Dylan
kissed Brandon again.
“Baby
just tell me.”
“I’m
pregnant.”
Dylan
pulled away a bit so he could look into Brandon’s eyes.
“We...We’re
going to have a baby.?”
“Yes.”
Dylan
smiled and pulled Brandon into a tight hug.
“Oh
baby...I’m so happy.”
Brandon
smiled and hugged Dylan tighter.
“But...How
did it happen baby?”
“It only
takes one time....”
*Flash
back.....
They
were back at Dylan’s house, Brandon holding Dylan in his arms.
“I love
you Dylan. I love you so much.”
“I love
you too. This is nice. You and me here on the couch.”
Dylan
laid his head on Brandon’s chest. “What are you going to tell your parents and
Brenda about us?”
Brandon
tightened his arms around Dylan, “I don’t know. I am going to tell them though.
I don’t want this to be a secret. We’ll end up hating each other or something.”
Dylan
sighed and closed his eyes, “You know how your dad acted when I dated Brenda.
What makes you think that he’s going to be any different with me wanting to
date. Especially since this is a homosexual relationship.”
Brandon
sighed, “Don’t worry about that now. Just think about us now.” He shifted around
so they were cuddled into the couch. “So what do you want to do?”
Dylan
shrugged, “How about we just lay here and watch some tv.”
Brandon
nodded, “Sure.” He grabbed the remote from behind his head and handed it to
Dylan. “Here you find something. I’m happy with whatever.”
Dylan
nodded and flipped through the channels and settled on a movie. “What about
this?”
Brandon
nodded, “Cool.”
They
settled and watched the opening credits of the movie. Both of them had things
on their minds so the movie just seemed to be background noise. It was about
half way through the movie when Dylan got restless. “Bran do you want something
to eat?” He looked up and smiled
Brandon had fallen asleep. He got up and walked to the kitchen for a glass of
water. His mind wandered as he stood
there. He thought back to the beach when he told Brandon that he deserved
flowers and romance. “He does and I’m going to give it to him.”
Dylan
walked into the bathroom and started filling the tub. He added a few drops of
vanilla scented oil to the water. Then he arranged the few candles that he had
around the tub. When he was satisfied with the tub’s fullness he shut the taps
off and lit the candles. Shutting the over head lights off he head out to the
living room to wake Brandon.
Brandon
was just waking up when Dylan was walking back into the room. “Hey Baby.”
Dylan
smiled, “Hey sleepy head.”
Brandon
blushed, “Sorry about that.” He sat up on the couch and stretched. He yawned.
“So what are we doing now?”
Dylan
smiled and beckoned Brandon to him. He wrapped his arms around his waist and
pulled him into a hug, “We’re going to take a bath.”
Brandon
frowned, “What?”
Dylan
smiled, “We’re going to take a bath.” He pulled Brandon along with him into the
bathroom.
Brandon
gasped when he saw all the candles. “Oh Dylan. Its beautiful.”
Dylan
smiled, “I told you deserved candles. Well I said candles and roses but I
didn’t have the roses so we’ll have to get those another time.” He pulled his
T-shirt off over his head. “Well you getting in here with me?”
Brandon
stared for a minute and nodded. He stripped off his clothes and walked over to
the tub. He was more then a little aware that he was naked for the first time
in front of Dylan. “Why does it smell like vanilla in here?”
Dylan
walked over to the tub completely naked. “It’s the oil in the water.” He
stepped into the deep tub and held out a hand to Brandon, “Come on.”
Brandon
took his hand and stepped into the tub. He settled against the back of the tub
and pulled Dylan down between his legs. “You know this is the most romantic
thing I’ve ever done.”
Dylan
smiled, “This is the most romantic thing I’ve ever done for anyone.”
Brandon
smiled and kissed the side of Dylan’s neck. He picked up the sponge from the
side of the tub and swished it around the water. He squeezed it over Dylan’s
chest.
Dylan
moaned and arched forward. “Brandon.” He said in a whimper.
Brandon
let the sponge go in the water. He kissed Dylan’s shoulder, “You know this bath
is really great but I can think of something else I’d rather be doing.”
Dylan
turned his head and smiled, “You mean finish what we started at the beach?”
Brandon
nodded, “Yea.”
Dylan
shuddered at the heat he saw in Brandon’s eyes. He stood and stepped over the
side of the tub. He held out his hand for Brandon to take. “Come on honey.
We’ll finish what we started at the beach.”
Brandon
took his hand and step out of the tub and followed Dylan out of the bathroom
and into the bedroom. It was all perfect.
*End
Flashback*
Dylan
smiled, “I remember every moment of that night. It was perfect just like this
baby.”
Brandon
smiled, “I love you.”
Dylan
snuggled closer to Brandon, “I love you too.”
* next
day
The guys
were sitting down watching t.v when there was a knock on the door. Dylan got up
and opened the door. He was surprised to see that it was Steve.
“Steve?
What are you doing here?”
“Hey
Dyl. Can I come in?”
“I
guess.”
Dylan
opened the door and let Steve in. Steve followed him into the living room.
David looked up and was surprised to see Steve standing there.
“Steve?!
What are you doing here?”
“Hey
David. Can I talk to you for a second?”
David
was a little hesitant before he answered.
“Sure.”
Steve
followed David into the kitchen.
“So...what
do you want to talk about?”
“Look...I
am sorry for what I said yesterday. I...I over reacted.”
“You
hurt me Steve. You hurt me really bad.”
“Look I
know I messed up. Can...can we just go back to how we were before?” Steve asked
holding out his hand, hoping that David would take it.
David
was a little hesitant about taking Steve’s hand. He was hurt by what Steve
said...but he also loved him. He took Steve’s hand and squeezed it.
“But we
can’t go back.”
“Yes we
can David. You can get an abortion and then we can go back to how we were
before baby.”
David
stepped back from Steve in shock.
“You...want
me...to have...an abortion?” David asked angerly.
“Come on
David...do you actually think that we can take care of this baby?”
“Yes I
do. If you would open your damn eyes you would see that this is a beautiful
thing.”
“If you
loved me at all David you will do this!”
David
hand reached out and slapped Steve across the face.
“Go to
hell Steve! This has been about you the whole fucking time. If you gave a shit
about me you would not make me do this. Yes I love you I really do...But if you
do not want this baby that I will raise it. Even if it means being without
you.”
David
turned from Steve and stormed back into the house with tears streaming down his
face. Steve wasn’t that far behind.
“David...DAVID!
Get back here now!”
“I have
nothing to say to you Stephen.”
Steve
reached out and grabbed David’s arm.
“Well I
have something to say to you.”
“Let go
on me Steve!”
“No not
until you listen to me.”
“Steve
let him go!” Dylan said, coming from behind Steve.
Steve
let go of David and glared at Dylan.
David took the opportunity to escape to the bedroom, Brandon not far
behind him.
“Are you out of your god damn mind
causing him so much stress. He could lose the baby." Dylan said.
“Good.”
Dylan
punched Steve in the stomach and Steve fell to the ground.
“"Your being an asshole Steve.
How could you storm out of here like that yesterday. David was so vulnerable.
He just find out he was going to be a parent and now you are making him think
that he is going to be a single parent. David is just as scared as you are.
Maybe more so because if your aren’t around he’ll do this by himself”
Dylan
picked Steve up.
“Get
out.”
“Dyl...”
“I said
get out now.”
Steve
looked at one of his closest friends with a little bit of sadness in his eyes.
Then he followed Dylan’s wishes and left.
*later
that night...
“Hello?”
“I have
an appointment to see MY baby in a week. Since you are the father I thought you
should know. I will let you know when the baby is born. Good-bye Stephen.”
“David
wait...”
“Why?
You gonna yell at me some more?”
“No more
yelling. I just...I’m sorry.”
“It’s a
little late for that Steve. You wanted me to get an abortion. I am having this
child. Stephen.”
“I know
David. I know that. I didn’t want to hurt you. I do love you David.”
“I don’t
know what to tell you. I want to be with you Steve. But if you won’t accept our
baby then we can’t be together.”
"I want to try David. Please
let me try."
David sighs "I don't know
Steve."
"Please let me prove it to
you. Prove that I want to try."
"Okay.
Prove it to me by coming to the Doctor's appointment"
Steve
sighed, "Okay I will be there. I do love you David."
David
sniffled, "I love you too Steve."
*NEXT DAY
Brandon
and Dylan sat together in the waiting room of the doctor’s office. They were
holding hands and trying to wait patiently for their turn to see the doctor but
they were both excited and nervous at the same time. The appointment was going
to include an ultrasound. They were going to see how far along Brandon was.
Hopefully see the baby as well.
David
sat by himself on the couch in front of them. He had talked to Steve the night
before and told him about the appointment. He was sure if Steve was going to
come or not. He had said he would try and make it. Sure they had made up from
both of the fights that they had but things were still a little shaky between
them. He sighed and looked over at Brandon and Dylan. They had been so nice to
him. They let him stay at their house. He wished he and Steve had what they
had.
Brandon
saw the dejected look on his friend’s face and whispered to Dylan, “Offer to go
in with David. He should have someone to share it with.” He squeezed Dylan’s
hand and smiled at him.
Dylan
nodded. He looked over at David, “Hey you want me to go in with you? You don’t
have to go in a lone. If Brandon is done before you go in we can both go with
you.”
David
was about to talk when a voice from the door said, “That won’t be nesscary.” He
looked over and smiled, “Steve.”
Steve shifted nervously, “I’m sorry I’m late
but I...”
David
stood up and walked over to him, “You’re not late at all.” He hugged Steve
tight. He whispered, “I’m so glad you could make it. I was worried you wouldn’t
come.”
Steve
wrapped his arms around David. He wasn’t going to tell him that he almost
didn’t. He had sat in the parking a lot for about 10 minutes deciding whether
or not to come in. Dylan’s words filtered into his brain, ‘David’s just as
scared as you are. Maybe more so because if you aren’t around he’ll do this by
his self.’
“David
Silver.”
David
looked at Steve, “Are you sure you want to do this with me?”
Steve
swallowed hard and nodded, “I’m sure.” He said he was but in his head he wasn’t
sure. He followed David back the hallway to an examination room. He stood
nervously in the corner of the room. He wasn’t sure what he was suppose to do.
The
nurse smiled, “Hello. Mr. Silver please strip completely then put these scrub
pants on. You may use the changing screen right over there if you like.” She
pulled out the scrub pants and laid them on the exam table. “I’ll be back in a
minute to get your weight and blood pressure.” She left swiftly.
David
picked up the pants but just stood there.
Steve
walked over to David, “You okay?”
David
nodded and sighed, “Just scared.” He turned and looked at Steve, “I’m so glad
you’re here I don’t think I could have done this with out you. I was getting
ready to run out of here screaming.”
Steve
placed a kiss on top of David’s head, “I’ll be here for you as much as I can.”
David
nodded. He wasn’t sure what that meant but however he could have Steve in his
life was okay by him. He walked over and stepped behind the changing screen. He
had just got the scrubs on when the nurse came bustling back through the door
with a quick knock.
The
nurse set up the scale. “Okay. Hop up on here and I’ll take your weight.” She
took his weight with a hmmmm. “Okay now hop up on the table and I’ll take your
blood pressure.” She hooked him up to the machine and waited for it to beep.
“Mmm. That’s a little high. You’ll have to watch your blood pressure and your
stress levels. It isn’t good for the baby. Try to take it easy for a few days.”
She wrote his blood pressure down. “Okay. The doctor will be in very shortly.”
She took the scale back out the door with her.
David
laid back on the table. ‘Keep your stress down she says. Yea right.’ He sighed
and laid his hand over his stomach. It was a habit he had picked up since Steve
and he had that argument about an abortion. ‘Well baby let’s see what you look
like.”
Steve
walked over and stood next to the bed, “I’m sorry David.” He saw David stiffen,
“I’m sorry that caused you so much stress.”
David
shook his head, “Its alright. No harm done for now but it can’t continue.”
Steve
nodded, “I know. I promise to try harder.”
There
was a knock on the door and Doctor Martin came striding in. “Hello David. How
are we today?”
David
nodded, “I’m okay I guess. Doctor this is Steve he’s the baby’s dad.”
Doctor
Martin held out his hand to Steve, “Hello Steve its nice to meet you. I see by
your chart David that you blood pressure is up a little high. I guess Steve
will have to pamper you for the next few days.” He winked at Steve.
Neither
David nor Steve said a word just smiled.
Doctor
Martin put down David’s folder and turned to the two men. “Well how about we
see your baby and how far along you are.” He pulled David’s pants down to just
above the groin. “This will probably be a little cold.” He rubbed gel over
David’s belly. “Okay. You’ll be able to see your baby on this monitor. I’ll
point out different things to you. Hopefully we’ll be able to see a good
picture of the baby. Before we get started I just wanted to tell you that we
will be able to give you pictures of the baby. As many as you like.”
David
and Steve nodded, “Okay.”
Doctor
Martin smiled, “Okay here we go.” He laid the scope on David’s belly and began
moving it around looking for the baby. He found the baby up near David’s ribs.
“Here is the baby. Judging from the look of the baby I’d say you are 4 months
pregnant.” He moved the scope a little. “Would you like to know the sex of your
baby?”
David
looked at Steve, who was staring so intently at the monitor, “I’d like to know
the sex please.”
Doctor
Martin nodded, “Okay. The baby is a girl.” He ran his finger the length of the
baby. “This is the baby’s head and these are the feet. See her moving her hand
around. We’re lucky she is very active so we should get a good look at her. How
about we take the picture of her with her hand in the air?”
David
nodded as he watched his daughter wave. He felt the tears well up in his eyes.
“Is she healthy?”
Doctor
Martin studied the monitor closely, “Yes she appears to be healthy. Let me run
the normal tests and I’ll answer questions.” He turned the sound up on the
monitor and a gushing sound filled the room. “That’s the baby’s heartbeat.
Would you like a copy of that too?
David
and Steve both nodded.
Steve
didn’t realize he was nodding or that he moved up to the bed an place his hand
over David’s. He stared at the monitor at his daughter. He had a daughter. ‘Oh
god.’ He sobbed quietly. He almost lost this with his arrogance and
stubbornness.
Doctor
Martin finished checking the baby over. “Okay. The baby is very healthy. She is
developing at the normal rate. She is the prefect size for her age.” He saved
the pictures to a disk and turned the monitor off. “Are there any questions?”
Steve
and David shook their heads no.
Doctor
Martin nodded, “Okay then. David you can go ahead and get dressed. I’ll have
the nurse print out your pictures for you and you can’t get them when you stop
to make your new appointment. I want to see you in say 4 weeks. If anything
happens or you have any problem’s at all call me. Okay?”
David
nodded, “Yes doctor.” When the doctor left the room David got of the table
grabbed some napkins to wipe off his stomach. He went behind the curtain to
change back into his regular clothes. When he was dressed and came back out he
looked at Steve. He frown when he noticed Steve was still staring at the
monitor, “Steve are you okay?”
Steve
nodded and choked on a sob, “I’m so sorry baby. I’m so sorry.” He walked over
to David and pulled him to a tight hug. He laid his head on David’s shoulder.
“I’m sorry I asked you to get an abortion. I’m sorry I was being an asshole to
you. I’m sorry I wasn’t more understanding.”
David
held on to Steve has he cried, “Sshhh hun. Its okay. I forgive you. I just want
you and I to be happy.”
Steve
nodded and pulled back, “We will be happy. I promise I’ll do the best I can to
make you and our daughter happy.”
David
smiled and sniffed, “We have daughter.”
Steve
smiled and held on to David tight. “Let’s go tell Brandon and Dylan.”
David
nodded, “Okay.”
The
walked out to the reception desk and made their desk appointment and picked up
the baby’s first pictures. Walking out into the waiting room they smiled at
Brandon and Dylan. “We’re having a girl.”
Brandon
and Dylan smiled. “That’s wonderful. Are you two back together?”
David
and Steve held on to one another and nodded. “Yes we are. I’m not letting him
or our daughter down again.” Steve declared.
David
showed off the pictures until Brandon’s name was called. “Good luck.”
Brandon
and Dylan smiled and walked through the door that lead back to the examination
rooms.
*************************
Brandon
and Dylan followed the nurse back to an examination room. “Please put these
scrubs on and hop on the table. I’ll be back to take your blood pressure and
weight.” The nurse laid the scrubs on the table and left the room.
Brandon looked at Dylan and smiled shakily.
“You nervous?”
Dylan looked up from the floor and at
Brandon, “Yea I’m nervous but everything is going to be okay. The baby is going
to be perfect because you’re the daddy and its going to look like you. Just
like you.” He smiled at hugged Brandon tight. “Now go get changed into those
scrubs. I wanna see our baby.”
Brandon smiled and nodded. He went behind
the privacy screen to change.
Dylan laughed, “Isn’t it a little late for
privacy? I mean if I hadn’t seen you naked. We wouldn’t have to be here.”
Brandon peeked out around the screen and
stuck his tongue out. “This isn’t for
you. What if the doctor comes in and I’m not dressed?”
Dylan was going to say something but the
nurse came back in at that moment. He looked up in time to see Brandon’s ‘I
told you so’ look. He just shook his head.
The nurse smiled, “Are you ready?”
Brandon stepped out from behind the
screen. “Yes ma’am I’m ready.” He stepped up on the scale and noticed his
weight. He groaned in his head and thought about the extra 30 or 50 pounds. He
turned his attention back to nurse who was staring at him., “I’m sorry what?”
Dylan snickered.
The nurse smiled politely, “Please seat
on the table so I can take your blood pressure.”
Brandon blushed and hopped up on the
table. He laid his arm out for her to take his blood pressure.
The nurse smiled, “Perfect blood
pressure. I think the doctor is going to be pleased with everything.” She
smiled and left writing in Brandon’s file.
Brandon laid back on the bed and
waited for the doctor to come in. He looked over at Dylan. “So what are you
going to think when I’m 50 pounds heavier?”
Dylan walked over and picked up his
lover’s hand. “I’m going to think you’re even more beautiful then you are now.
You’ll always be beautiful to me.”
Brandon smiled and sniffled, “Is it to
early to blame my emotions on the pregnancy?”
Doctor Martin stepped into the room, “Yes it is but that was so
sweet I think I might cry as well.”
Dylan laughed. “Thanks doc.”
Doctor Martin shrugged, “No
problem.” He looked over Brandon’s
folder. “You’re weight and blood pressure are very good.” He laid the folder
down and smiled, “Would you like to see your baby now?”
Brandon and Dylan nodded
enthusiastically.
Doctor Martin started the monitor back
up from his session with David Silverman. “So did you see Mr. Silver’s baby?”
Brandon nodded, “Yes we did. Can we
have pictures too?”
Doctor Martin nodded, “Of course you
can.” He rubbed the gel over Brandon’s belly. “Okay on this monitor you will
see your baby. The sound that you’ll here is he baby’s heart beat.” He ran the
scope over Brandon’s stomach and came across two objects. “Hmm. Well this is
certainly unexpected.”
Brandon frowned, “What? What is it?
Is the baby okay?”
Doctor Martin nodded, “Yes
everything is fine. Its just well you seem these two masses right here?”
Brandon and Dylan nodded, “Yes.”
Doctor Martin sighed and pointed
at the monitor, “Well it looks like you’re going to have twins. Mr. Walsh. If
you listen you’ll here the two heart beats.” They listened and heard the
definite sound of two heart beats. He smiled at the shocked looks on their
faces, “Would you like to know the sex of your children?”
Brandon looked up at Dylan, who was
staring at the monitor. He wasn’t even blinking, “Babe would you like to know
the sex?” When he didn’t get an answer he chuckled, “Yes we’d like to know.”
Doctor Martin nodded, “Okay it
looks like you’re having a girl and a boy.” He smiled at Brandon when they
heard a thump. “I think we lost him.”
Brandon laughed loudly, “I think
we better call the nurse for him.” He looked over the side of the bed then at
the monitor, “Well babies I think you’re Papa is in shock.” He laughed again.
Doctor Martin opened the door to the room, “Nurse could you
get some smelling salts for Mr. McKay. He just found out that he’s having
twins.” He closed the door to the sound chuckling.
A few seconds later the nurse from
before came in with a tiny stick of smelling salts. She broke it and waved it
under his nose. She smiled when Dylan came to saying ‘twins.’ She helped him
stand up, “I’ll take him out to the waiting room. He can sit down until the
exam is over.”
Brandon nodded, “Okay. Sit him with
Steve and David. They should still be out there.” He watched Dylan being lead out of them. He looked back at the
doctor and shook his head.
Doctor Martin smiled, “Most men do
that when they find out that they are going to be the proud Papa of twins.” He put the scope back on Brandon’s
belly. “Now where were we? Aw yes here are the two kiddies.” He pointed to the
screen, “Here is your little girl’s head and her feet. See she’s moving around.”
He moved to the next little baby mass, “Here is your little baby boy. He’s
moving his arms.” He looked at the two babies and listened to their heart
beats, “Well Mr. Walsh you’re babies are very healthy and it looks like you’re
about 5 months along.”
Brandon smiled at his children, “They’re
both healthy?”
Doctor Martin nodded, “Yes they are.
Please pass along this information to Mr. McKay please.”
Brandon nodded, “Of course. He’s going
to be pleased. Thank you very much.”
Doctor Martin nodded, “Your most
welcome. Please take your time getting dressed and stop out at the desk for
your pictures and another appointment. If they’re any problems please call me.”
Brandon nodded, “okay.”
*********************************
The nurse slowly lead Dylan to the
waiting room. She got him through the door and sighed. She was thank for the
two young men coming over. “He’s had quite a shock. Could you please seat him
on the couch?”
Steve lead Dylan over to the couch and
sat him down, “Dylan, man you okay?”
Dylan mumbled something.
David and Steve leaned in closer, “What?”
Dylan mumbled louder, “Twins.”
“TWINS?!” Steve and David shouted.
Brandon, who had just came through the
door from getting his pictures and making his appointment, smiled. “Yes twins.
A girl and a boy.”
David walked over and hugged Brandon,
“Congratulations.”
Brandon smiled and hugged back, “Thanks
man. I’ll show you the pictures as soon as I make sure my boyfriend survived.”
He walked over and stood in front of Dylan, “Babe you okay?”
Dylan looked up and nodded, “Twins?”
Brandon nodded and laughed, “Twins.”
Dylan jumped up and picked Brandon up and
hugged him. “Twins.”
Brandon just hugged him back and
laughed.
*****************************
Dylan was putting dishes away when
Brandon came from behind and wrapped his arms around him.
“I love
you.”
Dylan
turned around and gave Brandon a kiss.
“I love
you too.”
“Let’s
go outside. It’s nice out. And you need
to relax baby.”
“You’re
the one that should be relaxing baby. You are the one that is carrying twins.”
“Will
you just be quiet and come outside with me already?”
Dylan
laughed and pulled Brandon outside. He sat down on the patio chair and pulled
Brandon into his lap.
“OOF. Someone’s gettin heavy baby.” Dylan joked,
rubbing Brandon’s stomach.
“Well I
am 5 and a half months pregnant with your children.”
“Not
just mine babies....Ours.”
“I love
you so much Dylan.”
“I love
you too Brandon baby.”
They
shared a sweet kiss full of love.
“You
know, when I have these babies, a piece of both of us is going to live on
forever.”
“Yeah...It’s
it a great feeling.”
“But do
you know what an even greater feeling is?”
Dylan
nuzzled his head into Brandon’s neck.
“What
baby?”
“Knowing
that you will be here with me when everything happens. When our children our
born, when our children start school, when they graduate highschool and start
college....you will be here for them...and me.”
“I love
you Brandon with all my heart and soul. I would never leave you or our
children.”
Just
then Brandon felt something kick inside of him.
“Dylan...I
just felt one of the babies kick!”
“Where?”
Brandon
took Dylan’s hand and placed it on his stomach.
“Right
here.”
Dylan’s
eyes lit up.
“I feel
it to baby.”
Brandon
felt his heart tighten when he saw the light in Dylan’s eyes.
“Dylan.
I want to ask you something...and I kinda have a speech with it to so please
left me finish before you say something ok.”
“Oh
course baby.”
“Ok...Here
it goes. I love you so much. I don’t know what I did to get you, but I thank
whatever god is listening that decided that I should have you. You have done so
much for me and for our children. You could have been like Steve was and leave
me...but you didn’t. You stayed with me and you take care of me. You stayed
when I have my mood swings and my 3am cravings...you did everything you could
to make sure I was safe and happy. You never complain and you do everything
with a smile on your face.”
Brandon
reached into his pocket and pulled out a ring.
“I guess
what I have been tryin to get at here is..Dylan, will you marry me?”
Dylan
look at Brandon with tears in his eyes.
“Oh yes
baby...I will.”
Brandon
had tears in his own eyes as he placed the ring on Dylan’s hand. He leaned up
and kissed Dylan.
“I love
you.”
“I love
you too baby.”
************************************
Steve stirred the pot of pasta that he was
cooking for David. It was hard to decide what to make for dinner because David
had a lot of different cravings but this week David had been wanting pasta. He
set about putting the pasta in boiling water and stirring the sauce. He had
boughten meatballs but no one had to know that. He put the sparkling apple
cider in the refrigerator to get chilled. He had given alcohol with David and
he had been surprised at how easy he had been. Once he set his mind to being
sober for David and his unborn daughter it was easy.
Checking the pasta one last time he left
the kitchen to set up the dining room. He placed tall white pillar candles in
the center of the table. Everything had to be perfect for tonight. He was going
to pop the question to David. They were going to be a family and if that meant
no more partying then so be it. He walked into the kitchen when the oven timer
went off signaling the frozen blueberry pie was done.
“Shit! I
forgot whipped cream.” He got hard thinking about how they used the last of the
whipped cream. “No I don’t know have time for that now.” He had to get his head
back on track he only had about 15 minute more minutes before David was going
to be home.
He drained the pasta and put it in a big
serving bowl. He spooned sauce over the top of it. “Prefect.” He grabbed the
bowl of pasta in one hand and the bottle of shredded parmesan in the other. He
walked into the dining room and set the bowl and bottle on the table. “Now all
I need is the glasses and the bread.” He opted for rolls instead of garlic
bread because garlic wasn’t agreeing with David this month. Soon the basket of
oven warmed rolls joined the pasta and chilled sparkling apple cider.
Perfect timing too because as soon as the
Steve was done lighting the candles David’s car came into the driveway.
“Alright Steve man you can do this. You love David and you love your daughter.
This is the right thing to do.”
**********************************
David came into the house and shut the
door. He sniffled and smelled tomato sauce. ‘Oh Steve made dinner. Excellent
I’m starved. Hope he made a lot.’ He walked into the dining room and
gasped. “Steve?” He looked over at Steve and smiled. Steve was dressed in dress
pants and a button down shirt. “What’s going on?”
Steve smiled, “We’re having a in the house
date. I made dinner and I even bought a blueberry pie and baked it myself.” He
was proud of that pie even if he did buy it. He had never gone so far out for
some one but then this wasn’t just anyone this was David.
David smiled with tears in his eyes, “Its
really beautiful Steve. You shouldn’t have gone through so much trouble.” He
walked over and kissed Steve tenderly on the lips. “So what are you
having?” He took in the beautiful
scene.
Steve smiled, “Well I made pasta and tomato
sauce with fresh rolls for the bakery. I bought a frozen blueberry pie. I
forgot the whipped cream but it should be okay without it.” He pulled out
David’s chair. “Here seat down and rest. I’ll serve you up some food. I didn’t
put much extra garlic because I know it isn’t agreeing with out this month.”
David smiled, “What’s very nice of you.
Thanks. Now serve me up some food. We’re starving.
Steve nodded, “You got it baby. So what did
you do today?”
David went into detail about shopping
around for a few baby things and picked out a couple different cribs for them
to look at later. “Its so much easier to shop when you know what the sex of the
baby is. Those people who don’t want to know are crazy. There so much different
stuff out there.”
Steve nodded and set a plate full of food
in front of David. “There you go baby.”
David nodded, “Thanks.” He took a bite and
groaned, “Delicious sweetie.”
After dinner was ate and the pie was gone
Steve stood up and walked over to the stereo. He put on some slow romantic jazz
music. Walking back over to David he held his hand out, “Dance with me?”
David laid his hand in Steve’s. He moved
his body as close to Steve’s as be possibly could with the little bulge in
between them. He laid his head on Steve’s shoulder. “This is perfect.” He
sighed. They had there ups and downs but now things were going exactly right.
Steve squeezed David a little then pulled
back a little from David. ‘Well it’s not or never.’ He dropped to his
knees and held on to David’s hands.
“Yes it is perfect. I’m sorry it hasn’t always been and I’m sorry about
all the things that happened when you found about the baby. I promise to be
there for you and love you for the rest of my life. David Silverman will you do
me the honor and marry me?” He produced a ring box from his pocket and opened
it. Inside was a beautiful 24 karat gold ring with a diamond in the middle.
David gasped and choked on a sob, “Oh
Steve.” He dropped to his knees and hugged him tight. “Yes I’ll marry you.” He
felt a sob rack through Steve’s body. “I love you so much Steve.” He said
through tears.
Steve clung to David, “ I love you too. I
promise forever.”
*****************************
Brandon
and Dylan stood in the door-way of the newly finished baby room.
“Well baby, What do you think?”
Brandon wrapped Dylan in his arms
and kissed him.
“I love it baby. And the kids will
too.”
Dylan rubbed his hand over
Brandon’s full stomach.
“I can’t wait till we are
parents.”
“You can’t wait?! Your not the one
carrying them!”
Dylan laughed and held Brandon
close¼well as close as he could get.
“I love you Brandon.” Dylan
whispered and kissed the top of Brandon’s head.
“I love you too baby.”
“Come on¼you need to rest baby.”
*LATER THAT NIGHT
Both boys were sleeping when
Brandon shot up. He felt a sharp pain shoot through his body. He reached over
to wake up Dylan.
“Dylan¼DYLAN!”
Dylan looked over at Brandon, not
fully awake
“What is it? What’s going on?”
“Dylan the babies are coming.”
“Are you sure?”
Brandon held his stomach as
another sharp pain shot through his body.
“Oh yeah¼I’m sure.”
Dylan was fully awake now.
“Ok. Come on baby. Let’s get you
to the hospital.
Dylan reached for the phone and
called the hospital, then he called David and Steve.
“Steve? Brandon went into labor.
We are going to the hospital. Ok. See you there.”
*IN THE DELIVERY ROOM
"Come on baby. You can do
it."
"I...I
can't...too...tired."
"I know your tired baby...but
you can do this. I know you can."
"Ok Mr. Walsh...I can see a
head. One more push and this baby will be out."
"You hear that baby...one
more push and we will have a baby."
"Yeah...but we still have one
more to go."
Brandon squeezed Dylan's hand as
he pushed.
"Ok. I have the baby."
The doctor cleaned the baby up and
handed the baby to Dylan.
"Here is your son. We will
let Mr. Walsh rest a few moments."
Dylan looked at Brandon with tears
in his eyes.
"Oh baby...look, we have a
son."
"How is he?"
"He's perfect.He has your
beautiful green eyes. I love you so much Brandon." Being careful of his
newborn son, Dylan leaned over and kissed Brandon.
"What are we gonna name
him?"
"Marcus John."
"I love it."
Brandon squeezed Dylan hand as the
pain came back full-force.
"Ok Mr. Walsh one more push
and you will have a baby girl."
"Comme on baby. You can do
it."
Brandon screamed and pushed."
"Congradulations...you now
have a baby girl."
The doctor cleaned the baby girl
up and handed her to Brandon.
"Oh baby, look. She has your
beautiful brown eyes Dylan."
"Ok baby...I picked the name
of the boy, Now you get to pick the name of the girl."
Brandon thought for a moment.
"How about Amanda?"
Dylan kissed Brandon.
"I love it."
"I am going to go out and
tell David and Steve the news."
"Ok baby. I love you."
"I love you too."
Dylan walked out to the waiting
room to Steve and David.
"How's Brandon?"
"He's great...a little tired.
But he is so happy with the babies."
"Names?"
"Marcus John and
Amanda."
"Aww they sound
adorable."
"They are. The boy has
Brandon's eyes and the girl has mine."
Just then a nurse came out and
told Dylan that Brandon wanted him.
"Well...duity calls."
He turned around and headed back
into the delivery room...and to his new family.
*******************************
David
and Steve smiled as Dylan walked back into the delivery area. "Dylan looks
like he is walking on air."
David
nodded and smiled at his fiancé, "Yea he does. I*m so excited for them."
He grabbed his stomach when another sharp pain ripped through him. He winced
and gasped.
Steve looked at David and frowned,
"You okay? You*ve been having pains since we got the call from Dylan. Is
the excitement to much? Should we go home?"
David shook his head, "No I*m
okay its probably just something I ate." He looked at the nurse stopped in
front of them. "Can I help you?"
The nurse looked at her watch then
back at the young man sitting in the chair. "I*ve been watching you since
you came in for your friend. I*ve looked at my watch everytime you wince. Young
man when are you do?"
David looked at the nurse funny,
"I*m do in 3 more weeks. Why?"
The nurse smiled and said, "I
think you*re in labor young man. You*re contractions are now 2 minutes
apart."
David and Steve*s mouths fell
open, "But we*re not prepared.. We didn*t bring anything and its to
early."
The nurse smiled and tried to calm
the young man down, "Its not to early if the baby is ready. Let me go get
the doctor." She walked over to the counter where Dr. Martin was standing,
"Doctor I think that young man is in labor over there. I*ve been timing
his pains and they*re two minutes apart."
Doctor Martin walked over to where
David and Steve were sitting. "The nurse tells me she thinks you*re in
labor." He smiled at David*s fearful look. "Don*t worry its not to
early."
David swallowed, "What should
I do?"
Doctor Martin laughed, "Well
you*re at the right place. Why don*t you come back to one of the free delivery
rooms and I*ll check you out. It might be nothing."
Steve and David followed the
doctor back the hallway that Dylan had walked down with Brandon. "Do you
think David is in labor doc?" Doctor Martin shrugged,
"We*ll find out." He pointed to the change screen and said, "Go
behind there and change into this gown so it's easier for me to take a look
then hop up on the table and we*ll have a look."
David
walked behind the screen and with Steve’s help changed into the gown. He walked
over and carefully slide up onto the table. He laid back so the doctor could
have a look.
Just as the doctor was going to
take a look, another pain ripped through David. David gasped and squeezed
Steve's hand.
"Ok. There was 1 minute
between the pains. You are definatly in labor now Mr. Silver."
David looked up at Steve, who
squeezed his hand in support.
"You can do this baby. I know
you can. I'll be right here the entire time."
"Ok Mr. Silver I need you to
push."
David grabbed Steve's hand and
pushed. Steve winced because David was squeezing so hard.
After he was done pushing David
noticed that Steve's eyes had a little pain in them.
"I'm sorry I hurt your hand
baby."
Steve looked down at David and
smiled.
"It's ok baby. It's nothing
compaired to the pain you are in."
"I love you Steve."
Steve leaned down and kissed
David.
"I love you too baby."
David squeezed Steve's hand as yet
another pain ripped through him. He pushed again.
"Ok Mr. Silver, One more push
and you will have your baby girl."
Steve smiled.
"You hear that baby. One more
push and we will have our baby."
"I...I'll try."
"You can do it baby."
Steve leaned down and kissed
David. David squeezed Steve's hand and gave a final push.
As David collapsed on the bed he
heard a cry.
"Congratulations, you have a
baby girl."
Steve looked down at David
beamingly.
"You did it baby. You did
it."
The doctor placed the baby in
David's arms.
David looked up at Steve with
tears in his eyes.
"Oh baby....She is beautiful.
She has your perfect blue eyes."
"She is beautiful baby. What
are we going to name her?"
David thought for a moment.
"How about Julie
Deanne?"
Steve leaned down and kissed
David.
"It's perfect. Can I hold
her?"
"Oh course you can
baby."
David handed their baby girl to
Steve. Steve looked down at his daughter.
"Hey beautiful. Welcome to
our family. We are going to love you so much."
David looked at Steve and their
daughter. Things were how they were suppose to be now.
Steve
handed baby Julie back to her papa. “I’m going to see if I can find Dylan and
Brandon and let them know about you having the baby.”
David
nodded, “Okay babe.” As Steve was walking out he called to him, “See if Brandon
and I can share a room.”
Steve
nodded, “Okay baby. I’ll be back soon.” He walked out of the delivery room and
down the hall toward the waiting room when he heard his name. He looked into
the room and smiled when he saw Dylan holding a baby and Brandon holding the
other.
Brandon
frowned when he saw it was only Steve, “Where’s David?”
Steve
smile widen and his eyes shone, “He just had the baby! It’s a little girl. Her
name is Julie Deanne.”
Dylan
and Brandon smiled at Steve, “That’s wonderful Steve.”
Steve
nodded, “David is really happy. He was wondering if you guys could share a
room.”
Brandon
nodded, “Yea that’s fine with me. We’ll have to check with the hospital and see
if they have rooms like that.”
Steve
nodded and walked over closer to the bed. He looked at the baby girl in
Brandon’s arms. “She is beautiful Bran.”
Brandon
smiled, “Thanks Steve.” He moved the blanket away from baby Amanda’s face so
Steve could get a better look.
Dylan
walked around the bed and stood next to Steve. “This is Marcus John.” He
shifted the baby so Steve could see his face.
Steve
smiled, “He’s a handsome little guy.”
While
they were talking Doctor Martin walked in and Steve took the opportunity to ask
about the room.
Doctor
Martin nodded, “Sure I don’t see anything wrong with that. In fact a double
room just opened up. The two mothers and the children just went home today.”
Steve
smiled, “Great. I’m going to go back to David. I’ll see you all later.” He
walked from the room and back down the hall to the room where David was. He
walked in and smiled at what he saw.
David
sat on the end feeding baby Julie. He felt someone watching him and looked up.
He smiled at Steve, “Hey baby.”
Steve
smiled, “Hey. I talk to the doctor and he said that a double room opened up so
you and Brandon can share a room.”
David
smiled, “Excellent.” He looked down at Julie. “She’s perfect.”
Steve
smiled at his fiancé. He walked over an first kissed David on the forehead the
kissed their daughter on the top of the head. “Yes she is.”
*************************************
This was
it. This was the day that they all planned for. They decided to all get married
at the same time.
David
was pacing around the room he shared with Brandon. They kept the tradition of
staying in separate rooms the night before the wedding.
"David will you stop pacing.
Your gonna wear a hole in the carpet." Brandon said jokingly.
"I can't. I'm so nervous.
What if he changes his mind?"
"He is not going to change
his mind. He loves you and he loves your daughter. He wants to be with
you."
David looked at Brandon and
smiled.
"Yeah...Guess it's just
wedding jitters. How can you be so calm?"
"I'm not calm...I'm not just
walking the lenght of the room 9 million times."
David grabbed a pillow and threw
it at Brandon.
"Shut up."
Brandon laughed.
"Wow David...In less than an
hour we will be starting our wedding ceramoney."
"I know. Thanks for letting
Steve and I do this with you guys."
Brandon reached over and squeezed
David's hand.
"We wouldn't have it any
other way."
************************************************
"But what if he doesn't want
this Dyl. What if he feels that this is what he should do, not what he wants to
do."
"Steve, you gotta calm down.
David wants this as much as you do. He loves you."
"I...I guess that I'm still
scared that I screwed this up."
"He's forgiven you. It's time
you forgave yourself."
"I can't help and wonder what
would have happened if I didn't change."
Dylan sat down in front of Steve
and took his hand.
"You don't have to. You did
change and now you have a beautiful baby girl. And you are about to marry a man
who loves you more than anything."
"How can you be so damn
calm?"
"I am about to marry the man
of my dreams and who just had my children...I'm scared shitless." Steve
laughed and Dylan continued."But I know that me and Brandon were meant to
be together and I would rather die than live without him."
"I feel that way about
David."
"So don't worry about it.
Everything is going to be ok."
"Thanks for being here Dylan.
You've been a great friend."
"Any time man. Any
time."
**************************************************
Steve and Dylan were standing at
the alter, waiting for their future husbands to come join them.
"This is it Steve. In a few
moments they are going to come through that door andour lives are gonna change
forever."
"You mean they haven't yet?"
Dylan smiled, then he laid his
eyes on Brandon as Brandon and David walked out the door to join Dylan and
Steve.
*Oh my god...Brandon looks
beautiful. And he's mine. He's all mine. Oh I love him so much. Thank you god
for putting this beautiful man into my life.*
At the same time Steve saw David.
*My god...David looks like an
angel. Thank you god for letting me change my mind and not letting me throw
David and our Julie away. I do not think I could have ever forgiven myself if I
would have.*
Brandon and David took their
places next to Dylan and Steve and the minister began the ceremony.
"These men standing up here
have decided to declair there love for one another by having this ceremony. It
is so rare to find the one that you love with all your heart."
Steve looked over at David and
mouthed 'I love you'. David smiled and mouthed 'I love you too'.
"These gentlemen standing
here have nothing to be ashamed of. For love is love. It comes in many
different forms. It is up to us to find that love. We are about to have the
exchanging of the vows and the rings. The boys have written their own vows to
share with their partners today. We will start off with Dylan and Brandon.
Dylan you may go first."
Dylan took Brandon's hands, looked
deeply into the eyes that he loved so much and spoke from his heart.
"Brandon, I love you so much.
I'm honored to be able to share the rest of my life with you and our precious
children. I can not promise that things will be easy for us, but I can promise
yoy my friendship, my companionship, my loyalty, but most of all I can promise
you my un-dying love for you." Dylan slid his ring on Brandon's finger.
"This is a constant reminder of how much I love you and how my love for
you will never end."
Dylan reached over and wiped the
tears from Brandon's eyes.
"Brandon."
Brandon squeezed Dylan’s hands and
spoke.
"When you told me that you
loved me, I felt that everything was going to be perfect for us. Now standing
here in front of you, moments away from being your husband, I know that
everything is going to be perfect for us. I love you with all my heart and
couldn't bear the thought of not having you in my life." Brandon slid his
ring onto Dylan’s finger. "This is to remind you that you possess my
heart, my mind and my soul."
The minister looked over at Steve
and David.
"Now we will have David and
Stephen exchange their vows and rings. Stephen, you may go first.”
"Leave it to Dylan and
Brandon to steal the show." Steve joked. Everyone laughed, including Dylan
and Brandon.
"David, I know that I haven't
been the easiest person to love. I know that I made you feel bad in the beginning
of this relationship and I don't know why you gave me a second chance, but I am
so glad that you did. I love you with all my heart and soul." Steve slid
his ring on David's finger. "This ring is a promise to you. It's a promise
that I will spend the rest of my life proving and showing you that I am worth
your love."
David wiped his eyes as he mouthed
'I love you so much'.
"David."
"Steve, I love you so much.
Big suprise I know. What happened to us before doesn't matter to me now. I have
you now and I am never letting you go. I can't see my life without you in it
and I don't want to live my life without you." David placed the ring on
Steve's hand. "This ring shows that I love you no matter what happens and
I will always be here for you."
The minister smiled at the boys
and continued with the ceremony.
"At this time I would ask
that if anyone has any reason why these men should not be married I would ask
them to speak now or forever hold your peace."
The guys looked around fearfully,
but no one stood up or said anything.
"Very well. With the power
invested in my I now pronounce you life partners. Congratulations, you may now
kiss your husbands."
Dylan held Brandon's face.
"I love you baby."
"I love you too,
husband."
Dylan smiled and kiss Brandon,
their first kiss as husbands.
Steve looked over and Brandon and
Dylan and pouted.
"What's wrong baby?"
"I want one of those."
David brought Steve's head closer
to his.
"Oh yeah?" Inching their
heads closer til there head were mere inches apart.
"Yeah."
David laughed and kissed his new
husband.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, I am
proud to introduce you to Mr. and Mr. Mckay and Mr. and Mr. Sanders."
The guys walked out of the
ceremony hand in hand with their new husbands. They didn't know what the future
would hold, but they knew that they would all get through it together.
