Thanks to my wonderful beta, Pookie. I love you. I also want to thank Sid for her help on this chapter as well as all the girls. I also need to thank 2 of my favortite guys, JIM and CHRIS for all their help and for always pushing me. I love you both. Give Matt and Alan hugs from me as well. Also thanks to everyone in standing by me on my stories, hope you like this. It might be going slow right now, but it will pick up when more truths start to come out. And we find out what Devlin is up to.
Justin When I open my eyes, my eyes immediately find Brian. I realize he is still asleep next to me. I hear laughter coming from the other room. Seeing the door shut, I put my head back down, a smile gracing my lips. I hear Brianna through the door telling the twins to be quiet, as the door opens. I feel two little bodies jumping on the bed and on me. Laughing up at them, I see Brianna point to Brian. I look to my lover who has his eyes closed, but I can tell he’s pretending. “Shh Dada sweefen” Justine whispers. Just as we were climbing out of bed, Brian jumps up, grabs the twins and toss them onto their backs before tickling them The twins squeal as loud as they can as Brian tickles them. Then, I see the tide turn as the twins then start to attack Brian, pushing him back. Okay, so he helped. I see them all picking on Brian who is screaming for my help as I make my way over Aidan. He looks at me as I wink and start to help them tickle Brian. “You are so paying for this Sunshine.” He laughs out, as they all run into the other room. I go to stand up as I am pulled back down. “Morning sweetheart.” I bat my eyes at Brian, who starts to tickle me. We don’t sleep in the nude anymore, but we are still in our boxers. He runs his hand over my cock, making me hard instantly. “Brian.” I yell out as he leans over, kissing me. Then suddenly he stops, leaving me with an erection and walks to the bathroom. “Something up Sunshine?” He winks back at me, as he shuts the door. “Payback is a bitch.” He laughs. “Yeah, I hope you remember that.” I go out to the kitchen to make breakfast for everyone. Brian comes out to join us when the kids are eating their French toast. Brian just gets his normal coffee, but soon finds himself eating some of the French toast as well. I still am amazed on how far he has come with all this. “Dad, I’m going to take the twins to the playground.” Brianna blurts out. “No you aren’t. You may be older then they are, but you are still not old enough to take them out there into the world without an adult.” Brian tells her. “Couldn’t help but try” she laughs, just as both the twins and Gus, who came over this morning start screaming “Pwark pwark.” I laugh as Brian rolls his eyes. “Go get your shoes on.” They all run and scream out their happiness of going to their favorite place—other then grandma Deb and Auntie Em’s. We get there and the kids run over to their spots while we head over to the twins in the sandbox. We make sand castles for awhile, and then head back home to get the kids ready to go over to Deb’s for dinner. The family dinner at Debbie’s is always a blast, especially, since Dee is bringing her new boyfriend to dinner for the first time. Devlin “What do you mean you can’t go? I thought this time you said you would go?” Dee asks me a little annoyed. “I know, but something came up and I have to go into work. I will make it next time. Besides, I still don’t know if I am ready.” I tell her. I mean, it is the truth to a certain degree. I really am not ready, not ready for the truth of who I am to come out that is. But Dee does not have to know that. “Dev, I understand you are nervous, but this is important to me.” She looks lost. “Did you take your medicine?” She nods her head and I know that it’s only a matter of time before they take effect the way I need them to. I upped her dose. I need her to do a few things for me before I come out. “Yea I took them. I think I need to call my doctor. They seem to make me feel weird.” Well, they should, I need you under my control so when the shit hits the fan, I can make you be on my side. “Sweetie, they are supposed to make you feel like that. They help keep the balance right. I’m sure the doctor knows what he is doing.” I kiss her cheek. “I guess.” She says as she puts on her shoes. I grab my keys from the knob by the door as she does that. “I guess I’ll see you when you get home from the dinner?” I ask her as I kiss her once more. She nods her head. “Yes, I will be home after. Still wish you were coming though.” She had to put that in and believe me I will, all in due time. “Next time.” Kissing her, I head out the door and head over to a friend’s house. I can’t come out with who I am until everything is just right. Dee I pull up to the house and head inside. Once inside, I see the whole family looking over to me and then getting I start getting the questioning looks. “He got called into work at the last minute. He said sorry and that he will make it next time.” I see the disappointment in their faces, just as Lindsey hugs me. “It’s ok, we can wait. Work is important.” Leave it to her to think like that. “I think she is making him up.” Brian jokes as Justin hits his arm. “She is not.” Brianna jumps in to save me. “We know baby. It was a joke.” Justin tells her and I see the look on her face as she slaps her dad’s arm. “Well, let’s eat.” Debbie yells from the kitchen. As we all file in, we take our seats and Brian looks at me. “What?” I ask. “Nothing, you just look...” He stops, but then Michael jumps in with his snide remark. “She looks drunk or stoned.” “Or maybe her medicine is just making her mellow” Brianna said, once again defending me. “Yeah, that’s it. Mellow.” Brian and Justin say at once. “Mellrow yellrow” The twins start chanting, making everyone laugh. I can’t want for Devlin to meet my family. Hailey I sit here on my bed listening to my brother who came in to see me. I love it when he comes here to the clinic. “Dev, I don’t understand, what you want me to do?” I look to him. “It’s simple Hails. I need you to make the nurses busy with you so I can do something.” He smiles at me. “Take some more pills?” I ask. I know he’s been taking care of that lady, Dee. The medicine is for her. “You are so smart. You look so beautiful today.” I giggle as he kisses my forehead. We talked a few minutes talking about how we are both doing. “I am doing much better now.” I tell him. “I can tell Hails, I love you.” I lean into him as he runs his hand over my arm. “I love you too. Okay, I will get the nurses.” He nods his head as I start to scream. “Someone help.” Dev screams. “They are going to get me. They are going to get me. Get away from me.” I yell as the doctors and nurses come running in and Dev sneaks out. I continue to scream until my brother comes back in smiling and I know he has the pills. “Hailey, its ok, see I have it right here.” He shows me my bear as I take it and hug him. “Thank you.” I say as I ‘calm’ down. He hugs me tightly “Hailey, we will be in to give you something to help you with your breathing.” One of them tells me as they walk out. “Thanks Hailey. I couldn’t have done this without your help. You know, I wouldn’t steal if they would just give her something. But she needs it to cope.” He runs his hand over my arm once more. I always loved that. “Yes, I know. You take such care of the ones you love.” “Yes I do. I’ll see you in a few days. I love you. Be good.” He tells me before walking out with me telling him, ‘I love you too.” “Dee is lucky you care so much for her that you would steal medicine for her.” I lay down as the nurse comes in to give me my own medicine.
