Brian and Justin were in the warm pool water splashing each other while stealing occasional kisses. After a few minutes of flirting, Brian pushed Justin against the deep end of the pool’s wall and slowly started to move his body against Justin’s; he could feel the blonde’s cock harden against his own hard member. As they kept their eyes locked to each other’s the look that passed between them was as if they were the only ones that existed in the world at that moment. Brian slowly leaned his head down and met Justin’s swollen ruby red lips and that’s how they were found , in a deep embrace on the other side of the pool making out, when Gus and Debbie came outside to get them. 
 
 
 “Jeeze can’t you stop for two minutes?” Debbie exclaimed while grinning at the two lovers. 
 
They boys slowly stopped kissing and rested their foreheads against one another’s trying to catch their breath. 
 
 “Daddy, Justin, I’m sleepy,” *Gus hollered at them.* 
 
 “Okay, I’m coming Sonny-boy.” Brian said as he moved towards the ladder to exit the pool. 
 
As Justin followed him he said sadly, “I guess this is finished.” 
 
Brian quickly turned around and pulls Justin’s eyes to meet his own. 
 
Brian: “No, we will say good bye to them and tuck Gus into bed and talk, I promise.” 
 
“Okay, that sounds really good.” *Justin said with a small smile gracing his face*
 
Justin had to smile at the thoughts of how they fell into the pool, which begun a splash fight. Yes, it was completely juvenile but that’s one of the many, many reasons why he loves Brian.  As they stepped out of the warm pool water into the cold November night air and before they could get to the teeth chattering part of freezing, Debbie already had towels for her boys. She knew they would be freezing by the time they fully stepped out of the water. She didn’t want them to become sick, so, before either one of them could say anything about the cold weather; Debbie was practically carrying both men into the warm house and started making them some tea. She was mothering them by telling them to make sure to go to bed early tonight and skip the fucking.  Of course, neither one was thinking entirely about fucking; their thoughts were running through what had happened outside and what would happen tonight. That this could be the beginning of something amazing that neither one of them were sure they were ready for yet.  
 
 
Brian and Justin followed by Gus and Debbie walked into the main hallway where everyone was getting heir coats and other belongings together for their departure when everyone’s eyes fell upon a very wet Brian and Justin. Suddenly everyone erupted into laughter that could be heard through out the whole house. 
 
 
Hunter: “What the hell happened to you two?” 
 
Debbie smacked hunter upside the head in a very loving way. 
 
Justin said “We fell in” with a small smile playing across his face. 
 
Michael: *smirks* “Doing what exactly?” 
 
Brian: “None of your fucking business.” *he say’s feigning anger*
 
“Right” Michael states with a small chuckle. 
 
After the laughter died down a little they all hugged and said their good-byes to the men leaving three much tired men. Brian locked up downstairs while Justin held Gus’s small hand in his own and walked up the stairs to help him get ready for bed. Brian walked up to check on Gus and saw the boy was finishing up getting ready for bed.  He went in search of Justin who he found in a steaming, hot shower.  Brian opened the door and slid in while wrapping his arms around the smaller man. Justin turned to face Brian and pulled him down for a kiss. 
 
Justin: “We don’t have time.” 
 
Brian: “I know, but later. (He said with a mischievous look in his eyes)
 
 “Definitely later.” *Justin agreed with a beaming grin*
 
They steeped out of the shower 20 minutes later finally feeling much warmer and satisfied. They walked into their room and put on a pair of sweats and a shirt just to walk across the hall to say good night to Gus. The little boy was lying in his bed with a book in his lap looking at it waiting for his father and Justin to come and read it to him. He was trying to read to himself, Brian and Justin watched in awe of the 7-year-old boy in front of them reading to himself. Gus was trying to read the “Harry Potter” book to his best ability when he suddenly looks toward his door when he felt someone watching him. 
 
 
Gus: “Did you two get warm?” (He ask with a carbon copy of a raised eye brow that his father does)
 
“Yes” Brian answers with a small smile playing across his lips.
 
Gus: “That’s good, I have been waiting forever. I wanted to read to you Daddy and Justin.” 
 
Brian and Justin each sat next to the boy and took turns reading the beginning of the book that Gus had picked out;  before they were half finished with the third chapter,  Gus was out like a light. They slowly stood up and tucked the little boy under his covers and each kissed him gently on his forehead and slowly crept of his bedroom; leaving his door cracked open so he could see the hallway light in case he woke up to go to bathroom in the middle of the night.  
 
~~~~~~~~
 
Brian was sitting in the front living room waiting for Jason to show up, he was due at Britin in about 10 minutes. Everything had changed over the last month; he couldn’t believe that it had only been a month, but it had. 
 
After tucking Gus in bed, Brian and Justin went to the master bedroom to make love all night long.  No words were spoken for once; without thinking, each men let their actions speak to each other. 
 
Two hours after finishing their last round there was a small knock with the door creaking open and Gus saying “Daddy I don’t feel good” That started a night of Gus getting sick and changing the sheets numerous times.   Finally at 6 in the morning Gus was exhausted and asleep and along with the little boy, so was Justin. Gus didn’t want to be left alone so he said his daddy and Justin had to sleep in there with him. That’s where the three spend the rest of the morning, until; Brian got up from the king side bed. Gus didn’t want to sleep in his room with his dad’s. He wanted to be in his daddy’s and Justin’s bed. 
 
Brian was in the shower for about five minutes when he felt someone’s arms slide around his waist and a kiss on his shoulder blade. He knew it was Justin the minute he walked into the bathroom; for some reason they always knew when one was in the room with them.  Brian turned around and lifted Justin’s head up by his chin and kissed him gently on the lips. 
 
Brian: “Thank you.” 

Justin: “For what?” 
 
Brian: “Helping with Gus last night, I know…”
 
Justin: *smiles* “Its fine Brian, your son needed you and I wasn’t about to stop you.” 
 
Brian: “He needed you too; we both did.” 
 
Justin’s smile lit up the bathroom.
 
Justin: “I’ll always be here for you and Gus no matter what.” 
 
That was the end of talking; Brian pulled Justin into him and proceeded to work his hand on to Justin’s cock slowly rubbing it after a few minutes; they both needed to cum. So, he spun Justin around and pushed him against the glass shower wall and gently using soap and water to open up his wanting little hole, he slowly started to scissor the smaller man.  After a few minutes, he removed his fingers with much protest from Justin, before he slipped on the condom and pushed inside of him, giving him a few minutes to adjust to Brian. Seconds later, he knew the blond was ready when he pushed back against him.  They formed a rhythm and no other words were spoken until they both felt the familiar tingle warning them that they were closer to nirvana.  They both came mere seconds apart from each other, grunting out each other’s names and whispers of love. 
 
 
Meanwhile in his hotel room, Jason woke up feeling a little sick; he knew he should take the pills and go see an actual specialist not a family practiced doctor. He knew this, and knew that there was something that they could mostly do to help him. However, what he knew and what he was doing were two totally different things. The reason he was supposed to take the pills in order to get him ready for surgery and chemo but he thought Brian would love him and want him more if he was sicker than he actually was. Of course Richard wanted him to live and be with him but he needed to see if there was still a chance to get his Brian back, but he never expected this; HIS Brian with a kid and a 20 something blond. 
 
 
Suddenly his cell rang and pulled him from his thoughts and that’s when he noticed that it was Brian’s cell phone number. 
 
Jason: “Hello Puppy.”
 
Brian: “Hey Jason, how are you doing?”
 
Jason: “Better now that I get to hear your voice and how are you beautiful?”
 
Brian grimaces at the sound of his ex’s lover’s voice. “Okay, um...I was wondering if we could talk.” 
 
Jason: “Sure. (He said almost too eagerly) Did you want me to meet you at the loft?” 
 
Brian: “I’m not in the loft, come here….”
 
Jason wrote down the information wondering, questioningly, at the map quest directions he was going to West Virginia. He didn’t know why so he quickly gathered up his cell and keys to the rental car and rush out of the hotel lobby to his car.  He headed toward West Virginia. 
 
Brian was standing in the living room; he had a fire roaring because of the icy weather that settled in outside. For it being end of December, it just started to turn a lot colder, which was a little grateful when the family came down here, and safer. Gus was resting in his bed; Justin made homemade Chicken soup that could surpass Deb’s but of course neither of the men would tell her.   Brian had asked Justin if he would mind looking after Gus while he talked to Jason; of course Justin said yes. Gus was excited to spend some time with his Justin.  Before Brian took to watching the snowfall, he checked on his boys and found that Justin and Gus both had fallen asleep snuggled close together. He tried to hide the smile but he couldn’t; they both looked at peace and angelic. 
 
 
Suddenly the sound of a car driving up the driveway and parking tore Brian from his thoughts; he walked to the door and opened it. He saw Jason step out of the car looking tired yet beautiful. He remembered why he fell for the man when he was younger, still he didn’t hold a candle to Justin; no one ever did.  
 
Jason: “Brian, whose house is this?” 
 
Brian: “Mine…” 
 
Brian directed Jason into the front living room where everything had taken place yesterday and held memories from 2 years ago.  He poured each of them a shot of Beam and came to sit next to Jason but not closely; just near him. 
 
A few moments of silence passed, neither was sure what to say or how to start. Brian knew what he wanted and Jason had a feeling what he was going to say. Suddenly, Brian spoke.
 
Brian: “Jason,” 
 
Jason: “Yes,”
 
Brian: “I um…think we need to talk about things, between us or rather you and me.” 
 
Jason suddenly understood what Brian was going to say. He didn’t want him, his Brian was gone and he lost him when he left 18 years ago.  
 
Before another word was spoken Jason’s cell phone rang and noticed it was a number in Chicago. He was going to ignore it but something in his gut told him not to. So he looked at Brian before answering. Jason looked apologetic before answering the ringing phone.
 
Jason: “Hello?”

Dr. Reed: “Hello, Is this Jason Denton?”
 
Jason: “Yes, how I can help you?”
 
Dr. Reed: “This is Dr. Reed at Chicago Northwestern Memorial Hospital. Do you know a Richard Wills?” 
 
Jason: “Yes, I do.” 
 
Dr. Reed: “Mr. Wills was involved in a serious car accident. We were wondering if you could please come quickly; he was rushed for an emergency surgery.” 
 
Jason: “I’ll be there as soon as I can.” 
 
Dr. Reed: “Thank you and I’m very sorry.” 
 
Jason turned pale as he hung up the phone and shoved it in his pocket. 

Brian: “Jason, are you okay?” 
 
Jason: “No, I have to go. I’m sorry.” 
 
Jason rushed out of Britin and speed to the nearest airport. He wasn’t thinking; he just knew that he needed to get to Richard and fast.
