Brian, Michael and Chris went inside the club. Brian headed straight for the bar while Michael and Chris went to the dance floor. Michael was having a great time dancing with Chris. They went back and sat with Brian for a while before going back to the dance floor. At some point Michael took Chris to the backroom. They went back to the bar to get some water and then it was back to the dance floor. After a while Michael left Chris dancing with someone reminding the teen who he belonged too. “You are not having fun.” Michael said as he stood next to Brian. Brian raised a brow and shrugged. “Why did you come then?” Michael asked. “Justin said I should.” Brian said. “He said I was too stressed.” Michael nodded. “You are.” Michael said. “It’s just that I am a little worried about Justin. He barely can walk and Dr. Johnson keeps saying that it’s not time yet. He isn’t due for another week, but I can see that he is in a lot of pain when he walks around. I can’t help but worry.” Michael smiled. “This is crazy talk.” Michael said. “What?” Brian asked and took a sip of his beer. “We are in Babylon talking about Justin and the baby.” Michael said. “How odd is that?” Brian smirked. “Did you ever think you would be a father?” Michael asked as he sat down on one of the stools. Brian smiled and shook his head. “But I can’t wait.” Brian said. “I’m so excited and scared.” Michael smiled. “Where is your boyfriend?” Brian asked. “I want to go.” “I’m going to go get him.” Michael said as he went after Chris who was dancing on the floor with another guy. Michael shook his head and pulled Chris to him. “Hey.” Chris said smiling. “This is so much fun, Mike.” Michael smiled and nodded. “Come on. Brian wants to go.” Michael said. “Oh.” Chris pouted. “But I wanted to stay.” “He’s not the only one…that…wants…to…go…home.” Michael said as he kissed Chris. Michael smirked and put his hand on Chris’s butt. “I’m ready to go too.” Chris said pulling Michael off of the dance floor and towards Brian. “Hey.” Chris said. Brian got up and led the way. Once they were in the jeep, Chris and Michael started making out in the back seat. Brian rolled his eyes and wished he had stayed with his blond. Because it didn’t matter where he was, if Justin was with him, he was happy. *** “What are you doing here?” Justin asked as he sat on the middle of the bed with the ice cream container in his hands looking up at Brian. Justin was surrounded by all kind of sweets. “You wanted me to leave so you could eat like a pig?” Brian asked smiling, but as soon as he said it, Justin started crying. Brian closed his eyes and cursed himself for saying that. “Baby.” Brian said getting in the bed. “Don’t cry.” “You think I’m a pig.” Justin sobbed. “I didn’t mean it like that, Jus. I was joking.” Brian told him. Justin sniffed and quieted down. “Do you want a brownie?” Justin asked as his lower lip trembled. Brian nodded even thought he didn’t wanted to eat the thing. He didn’t want to get fat. There was a big difference between being pregnant and getting fat. “You still think I’m hot, right?” Justin asked as he put ice cream on his cup cake and bit down. Brian smiled at Justin. He thought that his blond looked so adorable. “You are the hottest man in the world after me, baby.” Brian assured him. “You are so conceited.” Justin told him giggling. “I’m glad you’re back. I was lonely.” Brian smiled and took a piece of the brownie. He looked up at Justin and smiled when Justin smiled widely at him. They stayed in bed eating ice cream and the other things Justin had on the bed. Brian enjoyed that time with Justin, not caring what Justin made him stuff down his throat. He was home and happy to be there because his blond was there. *** Chris looked at his watch and got up. “I have to go.” Chris said. Justin frowned. “Oh, I forgot to tell you that Mrs. Lopez said that there is a test on Tuesday and you have to be there for it. She told me that it’s not that she doesn’t trust you, it’s just the rules or some shit like that.” Chris said. Justin nodded. “Well, I’ll see you then.” “Don’t go, Chris. I feel so fucking lonely in this house. Is so fucking big and I am feel like I don’t belong here.” Justin told him. “It’s your house, Justin.” Chris said. “I can stay with you for a while.” “Why do you have to go?” Justin asked. “I have a date.” Chris said smiling. Justin smirked. “With Michael?” Justin asked. Chris nodded. “What are you going to wear?” “I have no clue. That’s why I am going home soon to find something.” Chris said. Justin laughed. They heard a loud noised and new that Jack had come back to the house. “I guess I can leave now.” Chris said. “You will be okay.” “You have to tell me everything that happens.” Justin said. Chris smiled and nodded. “I’m happy that you are my friend.” Justin said. “Me too.” Chris told him. Justin nodded as he rubbed his belly. They stayed silent a moment thinking about how it all had happened. How they been together and then wouldn’t talk to each other and then they became friends again. “Okay, I’ll call you.” Chris said. Chris opened the door and stood to the side as Jack came in with a plastic bag with something in it. Jack entered and smiled at the teen. “Bye.” Chris said closing the door behind him. “Is he a good guy?” Jack asked. “Yeah.” Justin said. Jack nodded and walked over to where Justin was. “I brought you a few things.” “You did?” Justin asked in wonderment. “What?” Jack smiled and put the plastic bag on the table. Then he started to take everything out. “Oh my god.” Justin said grabbing some Twinkies. “I wanted this.” Jack laughed. “So when I am sleeping, I don’t have to hear you fight with Brian so he has to go out in the middle of the night to get you want you want.” Jack said. “Although you never want what you have, so it really doesn’t matter.” “You can hear us all the way over there?” Justin asked. “No. I sometimes stay up and walk around the house. It’s an old habit.” Jack told him. “Sorry.” Justin said, turning red imagining what other things Jack had heard. Jack shook his head. “It’s okay. It’s fun to watch him run around like a crazy maniac.” Justin laughed with Jack. “How are you doing?” Jack asked. “I feel like a cow.” Justin said. “I can’t wait for it to be out.” Jack smiled. “Oh.” Justin hissed. “What’s wrong?” Jack asked. “Oh god.” Justin cried out. “I’m having a contraction.” Jack nodded and stood in front of Justin not sure what to do. “Just like last time?” Justin shook his head. “It hurts more.” Justin gasped out. “Oh!” “Okay. Relax. I’m calling an ambulance.” Jack said. Justin nodded and held his belly. “Of fucking hell!” Justin screamed with all his might. Justin tried to get up from the chair, but he couldn’t. He started crying, scared and not sure if it was normal to be feeling so much pain. He had never felt like this. “Okay. Now all we have to do is relax. It’s probably another false alarm.” “No!” Justin hissed. “This kid wants out.” Jack watched in horror as Justin’s face contorted in pain. He moved forward and held Justin’s hand and rubbed the kid’s shoulder hoping everything would be okay. *** Michael shook his head at Brian who kept giving him one of those looks that asked ‘are these people insane’. Michael smiled at his friend and nodded to let him know he was behind him one hundred percent. Brian took a deep breath and tried to relax and gather some strength at the same time. “I want to know what’s going on.” Debbie said. “Me too.” Emmett agreed. “You just like gossip.” Ted whispered in Emmett’s ear. “If you would let me talk.” Brian said. “What’s wrong with Justin?” Lindsay asked. “You have been keeping us in the dark for the past two weeks.” “What did you expect from him?” Melanie asked. Brian rolled his eyes. “Back off, witch!” Brian told Melanie. “Fuck you.” “Are we going to start this again?” Lindsay asked. “Did it ever end?” Ted asked sarcastically. “So okay. What’s going on with Justin?” Emmett asked. “Talk.” “Is he okay?” Vic asked. “Yeah.” Brian said. “Why is he living with you?” Debbie asked. “He needs someone to be with him at all times.” “I know.” Brian said to her. “My father and Chris are back at the house with him.” “Jack is back?” Lindsay asked. “What house?” Ted asked. “Who is Chris?” Debbie asked. “Yes, he is back.” Brian said. “I bought a house a while ago. And Chris is Michael’s boyfriend.” Michael rolled his eyes at Brian and smiled. “Your what?” Debbie asked. “When were you going to tell me?” “Now?” Michael asked smiling. “I would like to see Jack.” Vic said. “It’s been a long time since we talked.” “How cool.” Emmett said. “He is great.” “I need to see this Chris guy.” Debbie said. Michael rolled his eyes. “Why did you buy a house, Brian?” Lindsay asked. “We needed more space.” Brian told her. “Jack has hundreds of stories to tell.” Ted said. “I can’t wait to see what he has been up to.” “And thanks to him we know all Kinney men are not as screwed up as you.” Melanie retorted. Brian rolled his eyes and let it pass. “Could all of you just shut the fuck up?” Brian asked angrily. “Don’t be so fucking rude.” Debbie told him. Brian took a deep breath. “So, Brian, talk.” Debbie said. “Okay. Uh, two weeks ago Justin’s parents were arrested.” Everyone started talking at the same time. Brian was shaking his head and pinching the bridge of his nose to keep from screaming at them to behave. “We knew about this.” Debbie said. “Michael told us. I want to know why you two are keeping Justin away.” Debbie said referring to Michael and Brian. “Doesn’t Justin want to see us?” “Are you going to let him speak?” Michael asked. Everyone stopped at the same time. “Why did they do that?” Ted asked. “They kept Justin locked up and were trying to put the baby for adoption. They wanted Justin to keep going to school so they could be an example family. They were going to keep it all quiet.” Brian told them. “Those bastards!” Debbie yelled. “We should have never let him go.” “Yeah.” Michael said sadly. “It wasn’t your fault, Mikey.” Brian told him smiling. “So what is he doing with you?” Melanie asked. Michael got up to walk away to answer his cell phone which was ringing. “There is a perfectly good explanation.” Brian said smirking. “What is it?” Ted asked. “Is he eating right?” Debbie asked. “Yes.” Brian told her exasperated. “Now let me talk.” “Yeah. Let him talk.” Vic said smirking. “Well, as you know Justin is pregnant.” Brian said. “Are you going to keep repeating things we already know?” Emmett asked. “Or is there something else?” “Well, I am…” “Brian!” Michael screamed running to the living room. “What?” Brian asked his heart racing when he heard Michael screaming. “Justin is in the hospital with your dad. He says he’s definitely having the baby today.” Michael said. In a blur everyone got up and grabbed keys and coats, all of them running to get to their cars so they could reach the hospital. Michael was driving the jeep because Brian was shaking with excitement and worry. *** “Breathe.” Jack said holding Justin’s hand as they waited for the doctor in the hospital room. “Oh god, it hurts!” Jack bit his lower lip and nodded. He was certain that Justin had crushed every bone in his hand. “Relax.” Jack told Justin. “Did they teach you how to breathe?” Justin nodded. “I went to a couple of sessions. Brian went with me too…oh god!” Jack kept on pushing Justin’s hair away from his forehead and telling him to control himself. “Where is Brian?” Justin asked crying. “I want him here.” “I know, I know. He’s on his way.” Jack told him. “I called them.” “Oh!” Justin screamed again. “You have to relax.” “I can’t breathe.” Justin hissed. “I can’t.” “Yes, you can. Come on, easy does it.” Jack said, but then noticed that Justin was turning way too red. “Fuck!” Jack pulled Justin’s hand away from his and ran out of the room yelling for a doctor because Justin had stopped breathing.
