CHAPTER 21

"You said that Gus has only been calling you daddy since this week?" Cynthia asked Justin as he helped put food away in the kitchen.

"Yeah. He just surprised me and started calling me that. I thought he'd end up waiting till after the wedding. But he was just so excited to meet Brian's other grandparents, that he just blurted it out. It was the coolest feeling in the entire world." Justin said as he looked out the window and saw Gus running around with Brian's cousins. He was having the time of his life here. It was going to be hard to take him away tomorrow.

"Are you and Brian going to have children of your own? I mean...I know that Gus is being raised by Lindsay and Melanie. But what about children that you'll raise?" she asked. He smiled at her.

"Me and Brian actually have never talked about it. I know that he knows, that I want kids. It used to be one of the things that we fought about. Not kids exactly...but that I wanted to get married and have a family. But since I came back from New York...we haven't discussed that. We've never exactly discussed that." Justin laughed.

"Well I wouldn't mind a few more great-grand babies" Cynthia said, making him chuckle.

"I'd love one. Well, I'd love more. And Gus being their older brother...it would be perfect." Justin said as he laughed when he saw Gus trip and get back up, laughing.

"Thank you for inviting us to the wedding. I know it means the world to Sawyer." she said. He turned and smiled at her.

"Your welcome. I can't wait for you all to be there. I can't wait for it to actually happen. I never thought it would." Justin admitted. She smiled and kept cleaning. "Were you and Mark ok about us when Sawyer told you?" he asked. She looked up at him. "I mean about Brian being gay. We're you ok with that?" he asked. She took a deep breath.

"I have to admit...I was taken back by that." Cynthia admitted to him. She put down the bowl that was in her hand. "And when Sawyer told me that his adoptive parents were mean to him, and didn't accept him...and then explained why you were the one to find them and not Brian...that you were making sure that we would accept him and love him...it broke my heart. I never wanted anything bad to happen to Brian. I wanted every good thing to come his way, and to find out his parents made him feel scared and ashamed to find us I..." she trailed off, wiping at her face. "My grandson being gay was the least of my worries. I wanted to make sure he was happy. That he was loved. At the end of the day that's all that matters, and who the hell cares who loves him." she said. Justin smiled at her. "We used to just call him the baby. For 35 years, that's all he was...and then he had a name. Brian." she said, and chuckled. "And from only spending two days with him...I've fallen in love with Brian...and Brian comes with a Justin and a Gus. And I adore that little boy out there." she said, as they both watched him jump in the pool. She turned to Justin. "And in only two days, I have fallen in love with you." she said. She took his hands. "I hope that Brian feels like he has a place here. A home here. I hope he feels loved here...and I hope you know, that you have a place here also. That you are already loved, and apart of this family Justin Taylor. Like Carver, Meredith and Josh. Even Teresa. And I couldn't be happier that Brian is gay. Because that means we get to keep you." she said. Justin couldn't help the tears that came to his eyes as he hugged Brian's grandmother.

"Thank you." he whispered.

"Thank you for being you." she whispered to him.

The rest of the day went by quickly. They still just hung out in the house and in the backyard. They all loved asking Brian and Justin different questions about their life. They asked all about Brian's advertising company. About his friendship with Michael. They asked Justin about school, his time in New York, and his comic book. They asked the usual, how did they meet. Brian always let Justin tell their story. It was more animated and comical and heartbreaking and romantic when he told it. And Justin loved telling their annoying story to anyone who'd listen.

"I'm going to miss you when the three of you leave tomorrow." Cynthia said.

"You never get that sad when me and Josh leave." Sam said.

"That's because mom gets down on her knees and thanks God when you leave." Derek said. She took her roll and threw it across the table at him. Brian and Justin laughed.

"Will you two stop it." Meredith screeched at them. Cynthia cleared her throat.

"As I was saying. We're all going to miss when the three of you leave tomorrow. And me and Mark want you to know, that the doors are always open. And you can come here anytime. You always have a room here with your family." Cynthia said, smiling at them.

"Don't ever be a stranger." Mark told them. The adults tried to stay up late talking, but exhaustion was settling in from their night of pot smoking the night before. So they all ended up going to bed. Justin was laying down on the bed while Brian was brushing his teeth.

"You had fun here didn't you?" Justin asked. Brian turned off the light and got on the bed, settling under the blankets.

"I don't know if I'd call it fun." Brian snorted out. Justin hit his shoulder. "Alright Sunshine. I had a very good time. And I'm glad we did it." Brian admitted. Justin smiled and leaned down to kiss him. "Thank you." Brian said. Justin just smiled.

"I'm going to miss them when we leave. But I can't help but admit, I can't wait till we're in our own bed tomorrow." Justin laughed. Brian pushed on his shoulder so he laid back, and Brian laid on top of him, kissing his neck.

"So I can fuck your brains out and pound you into the mattress?" Brian whispered in his ear, causing Justin to shiver, and get hard.

"Don't do that here." Justin whispered. Brian smiled at the pleading tone in his voice. He raised his head to look down at him.

"Why not Sunshine? Don't you like when I kiss your neck?" Brian asked, shifting over Justin so they could rub their groins against each other. Justin closed his eyes and groaned. Brian smiled and started rubbing harder.

"Come on you can't do that here." Justin whispered, slapping Brian's butt. Brian chuckled again.

"Why not?"

"Because we can't have sex in your grandparents house. With your father, aunts, uncles and cousins, who are all under 17 by the way, including your own son, all over this house." Justin said. Brian kissed him.

"Well if you keep quiet then we can have sex. No one would know." Brian told him.

"It has nothing to do with keeping quiet. Your family could walk in any minute."

"They won't walk in. And Cynthia did say to make myself at home." Brian said, smiling.

"Your not fucking me." Justin said. Brian tilted his head.

"Is that a challenge?" Brian asked. Justin's eyes widened.

"No it's not a challenge. I can't. I can't have sex in your grandparents house." Justin whined. Brian let out a deep breath. He looked back at Justin.

"And what do you expect me to do with my very large, very hard cock?" Brian asked, grinding it down against Justin's own hard cock.

"Alright I'll suck you off. But that's it." he said. Brian smiled and laid back in bed. He loved watching Justin suck him off.

"You two look awfully chipper this morning." Sam said as Brian and Justin walked into the kitchen. "Is Sunshine blushing?" Sam asked. Brian looked behind him at Justin.

"It's warm in here." Justin said.

"Please. Someone got fucked last night." Sam said. There were groans from the kitchen. "What there aren't any kids around. I don't have to say hokey pokey." Sam said, smiling. Justin covered his face. "It's really ok. I gave Josh a blow job last night." Sam said. Brian burst out laughing, while Josh covered his face.

"Do we have to talk about this? I'm trying to eat." Carver said. Brian turned to Justin.

"Well looks like you and Sam have something in common." Brian whispered. Justin glared at him and then smiled. "That's one way to keep her quiet." Brian joked. Justin hit his shoulder, and Brian started pouring himself some coffee.

"Well, that's definitely one way to keep her quiet. Stick one in her mouth." Derek said. Carver burst out laughing, and Meredith and Julianna hit him. Sam glared at him. Brian just smiled at Justin.

"Well. Looks like I wasn't the only one with a dick in my mouth last night. Look at Justin's guilty face." Sam said.

"Sammy." Sawyer groaned. Justin just covered his face. Brian thought the whole thing was funny. He was worried how they would handle it. Gay sex. Although Sam, he had to admit, was all for it. He figured she was like Debbie in that sense. Wanting to be a gay man. But he didn't know if the rest of them would be able to handle it.

"You know, I could probably get some lessons from them. Gay guys are the best at teaching how to give a blow job. They're not just on the receiving end, they know what they like, so they do it when they're giving one. They could teach me a lot." Sam said to Josh. Justin pulled his hands away from his face.

"I am not teaching you how to give a good blow job." Justin screeched. Derek pushed Julianna toward Justin.

"Go get some lessons." Derek said. She gasped and hit him. Meredith glared at Carver.

"We actually don't give the lessons. But I hear Emmy Lou makes a fine cock sucking teacher." Brian said before he could stop himself. Luckily they all laughed. He didn't have a filter on his mouth like he probably should of. But why hide who he was? He never felt the need to before. Why should this be any different? He knew deep down inside why. Because he wanted his family to like him. Most families (except his adopted family) all loved their family members. He figured they did love him. But he wanted them to like him. He shook his head at the lesbionic thoughts he was having. He was starting to like these people. And that scared him. They were straight people. And straight people usually hated him.

"I can't wait to meet Emmett. Justin's told me so much about him." Sam said.

"I can't wait for you to meet him either." Josh said. Sam laughed.

"Yeah I bet you can't." Sam said, giving him a kiss. She turned back to Justin and Brian. "You guys are having a house warming party right?" she asked.

"Yeah. In a few weeks. We just have to pick the exact day." Justin said as Brian handed him a plate. Justin smiled at him. Brian made him a plate of food. It was something that was very small, but these little things meant the world to Justin.

"Well I am so coming to that." Sam said.

"Excuse me? Who said your invited?" Brian demanded. The boys chuckled at him.

"Please. I not only have the fag hag privileges on Justin's side, but I have aunt privileges on your side. That's like double the power." Sam informed him. Brian snorted.

"More like double the evil in her." Derek said. Brian watched as they all had such easy banter with each other. He wondered if at one point he would feel at ease with them like this. Brian sat down next to Justin with his own plate of food.

"You guys are all welcome to our house warming party. I can mail out the invites. If it's to short notice and you can't come it's really alright." Justin said.

"I'm so going to a Emmy Lou inspired party." Sam joked. She held out her hand. "Give me your phones." Sam said. Justin and Brian looked at each other. She snapped her fingers. "Give them to me hurry up." She demanded Justin handed is over, and Brian rolled his eyes, handing his over as well. She started playing around with them.

"What are you doing exactly?" Justin asked.

"Sharing contacts. You'll have everyone's numbers, addresses and email addresses. And I'm sharing pictures and assigning them to your phones. Think of all the FaceTime sessions we'll all have." Sam joked.

"Remind me to change my number as soon as we get back home." Brian grumbled. Sam threw a biscuit at him.

"You excited for you dinner at Teresa's house tonight?" Julianna asked. Justin smiled.

"I am. I met a few of her brothers and sisters. They're awesome. Just like you guys are." Justin said.

"I am pretty kick ass." Derek said.

"Are you excited to Brian?" Meredith asked as she sipped her coffee. Luckily Brian didn't have to answer, because the kids came in at that moment. Gus was hanging onto Allison's back.

"Hey there Sonny Boy." Brian said as Ali came to stand behind them.

"Hey Gus." Justin said, kissing his cheek.

"Please don't make me leave. I love it here daddy." Gus said sadly, looking at Brian. Brian's face fell. Usually when Gus asked him for something, and got sad, Brian gave in to whatever Gus wanted. This time was different, he couldn't give in on letting him stay here.

"Your mommies would miss you very much Gus. If you stay here they might cry." Meredith said.

"Well they're welcome to come next time Gus comes to visit. We have plenty of enough room for everyone." Cynthia said as her and Mark walked into the kitchen.

"When are we coming back daddy?" Gus asked Brian. Ali let him off her back, but then picked him up and held him on her hip. All eight of the kids played with Gus, but Brian thought it was Ali that became the most attached to him, even though she was 16.

"Well when we get home and see your mommies, we'll talk and see the next time we'll see each other." Brian said, patting his head. He laid his head on Ali's shoulder.

"Can I trade one of my sisters for him? I like him better." Ali asked sadly.

"Gus. Remember I was telling you about the house warming party at Britin?" Justin asked. Gus picked his head up and nodded. "Well everyone here is invited. And as soon as I give them a date, they're going to see if they can come. So you may get to see them in a few weeks. But the wedding is in May, so you'll definitely be able to see them all then." Justin said. He nodded his head excitedly and hugged Ali.

It was to soon, but they did have to leave, in order to catch their flight. Brian was surprised by how quiet and sad they all got. Cynthia suggested the kids say goodbye first and then head back inside. Brian couldn't help but smile as they all hugged Gus. He was instantly excepted into this family. They didn't look at him as someone they just met the other day. They looked at him as they're equal. As their cousin. He was no different then them. The kids hugged Justin goodbye, and he supposed they would have given him a hug as well, but was sure that they were told not to. To not make him uncomfortable. They usually just smiled, and said goodbye, and asked when they could see them again. He was surprised that Allison, the badass 16 year old, actually got teary eyed.

"Hey. Like you told Gus. He can FaceTime you any time he wants. That goes both ways." Justin said as he hugged her. She nodded and went back inside the house.

"You three have definitely made an impression in just three days." Cynthia said.

"I didn't realize they would get that sad over Gus leaving." Brian said.

"It isn't just Gus. Or just Gus and Justin...they actually like you to...they would have given you a hug but..." Sawyer trailed off.

"I warned them not to." Justin told him. Brian looked down at him. He turned back and rolled his eyes.

"Alright. They can give me a fucking hug." Brian grumbled.

"Really?" Sawyer asked.

"Just don't make a big fucking deal about it." Brian grumbled. Justin smiled. Sam opened the door.

"GET BACK OUT HERE. BRIAN'S GOING TO LET YOU HUG HIM!" Sam yelled. Mark grabbed her and yanked her down a step. She started laughing, and Sawyer grabbed her by the ear and pulled her towards him.

"So much for not making a big fucking deal you little shit." Sawyer said, pushing Sam into Josh. She kicked him in the butt. Caleb, the youngest of the kids was the first to come out.

"You wanna give your big cousin a hug before he leaves Caleb?" Julianna asked. He nodded, and hopped down the steps and jumped into Brian's arms. It was like looking at Gus all over again.

"Bye Brian." Caleb squeaked in his little voice and hugged him tightly. Brian couldn't help but smile.

"Bye. You be good." Brian said and put him back down. The four youngest girls ran up one by one to hug him. Parker just shook his hand.

"It's nice to have another guy in the family." Parker said quietly. He looked at Caleb. "All I have is Caleb." Parker grumbled. Brian laughed and gave him a side hug. Spencer came up and hugged him next.

"Anytime you need my advice on a campaign don't hesitate to call." she said. Brian snorted.

"I'll definitely keep you in mind." Brian told her. Ali jumped over to him and hugged him tightly.

"Make sure you bring Gus and Justin back real soon. I adore them." Ali whispered. She pulled back. "You can come back to." she said, and kissed his cheek. She hugged Gus one more time and ran back inside to watch the other kids.

"I really don't want to have to say goodbye." Meredith said, wiping her face.

"Don't be such a girl." Sam joked. But Brian could tell her heart wasn't in it.

"Since the kids gave you hugs...does that mean we're allowed to hug you to?" Julianna asked. Brian caught Justin's smile. He nodded his head, and Julianna stepped forwards to hug him. After her, Carver, Derek and Meredith hugged him, they went back inside the house. Josh put his hand out and shook it. And Sam jumped at him.

"Don't be a stranger around here. You're family. And not because of Justin. But because we share the same blood whether you like it or not." she whispered. He chuckled and she kissed his cheek. She pulled away, and he realized she was crying.

"You have a reputation to protect you know. Being a badass." Brian told her. She nodded and laughed.

"Yeah I know." Sam said. She punched his arm. "Now be prepared. You're family now. So that means I can show up on your door step at any moment. I fully intend to invite myself over any time I want to." she told him.

"Guess I'll have to give you a key then." Brian said. She smiled, and stood with Josh by the door. Cynthia hugged him next.

"I have waited 35 years to give my grandson a hug." Cynthia whispered. Brian had never hugged any grandmother before. This was new territory. Even when he was a kid, he never hugged Joan or Jack's mothers. He never liked them. She pulled back and gave him a kiss, and patted his cheek. "We'll see you soon." Cynthia said. Mark shook Brian's hand, and gave him a quick hug.

"Can't wait to see you again Brian." Mark said. Brian smiled and nodded.

"Alright let's get back inside and let Sawyer say goodbye." Cynthia said. Sam kissed Gus one more time and handed him to Sawyer.

"We love you guys." she said, and they went back in the house.

"Will you come and visit me soon grandpa?" Gus asked as he started crying. Justin leaned his back up against Brian as they watched Gus and Sawyer. Sawyer comforted Gus as he cried. Brian wrapped his arms around Justin's shoulder. Brian couldn't help but love watching his son with his own father. He had a sudden sadness come over him, that that could have been him and Sawyer. Brian instantly shook his head. Where had that thought come from? He looked down at Justin. He was staring at him.

"I sure am Gus. Just gotta see what my schedule looks like. And I'm gonna come see you real soon buddy." Sawyer said, and hugged him tightly.

"Come on Gus. We don't want to miss our flight." Justin said. Sawyer helped Gus into his seat, and gave him one last kiss. He shut the door and looked at both Brian and Justin.

"I'm really glad you decided to come here and meet my-your family." Sawyer corrected himself. Justin stepped forward to hug him. "You're a great kid Justin Taylor." Sawyer said. Justin pulled back. "Thank you for making this happen." Sawyer said. Justin chuckled.

"I just found you...Brian was the one that came here." Justin said.

"Give yourself more credit. You did a lot more then just find us. I am very glad you're going to be my son in law Justin." Sawyer said. Justin laughed and covered his eyes.

"God don't even make me like a sissy princess and make me cry." Justin joked. He hugged Sawyer again. "We'll see you soon." Justin said. Sawyer nodded. Justin kissed Brian's cheek and got into the car. Sawyer took a deep breath.

"Listen. It's ok if you don't want to hug me yet. I'm totally fine with that." Sawyer joked.

"Well I don't really have a contagious skin rash." Brian joked. Sawyer laughed. He leaned forward and hugged Brian tightly. Brian was a little taken back the emotions he would feel when he hugged Sawyer. He had so much anger in him. But it wasn't at him. It was at Jack. How horrible he made him feel. This was his real father. And he loved Brian. He was hugging him. Brian suddenly pulled back and wiped his face. Sawyer just straightened up his shirt, giving Brian a moment.

"I want you to know, that this is your home here. You didn't see my house but...my home is your home. And Justin and Gus. And I hope that...we can make up for lost time." Sawyer said, trying to clear his throat. He was getting choked up.

"I had a great few days here...and I hope you can come to our house warming party." Brian said. Sawyer looked up. "Justin's been a real Queen about making it the perfect night to show everyone the house. I'd hate to ruin the moment and not give him the huge audience he wants." Brian joked.

"I'm not a Queen you ass." Justin said. They looked over and saw the window was cracked. He made a face and rolled the window up. He turned to Gus, and Brian figured he was apologizing for cussing. Brian and Sawyer laughed.

"I hope you can come by soon. Gus is going to miss you...and once we move into Britin...well you'll always have a place to stay." Brian said. Sawyer smiled.

"Thank you...get outta here before you miss your flight." Sawyer said. Brian nodded and went around to the drivers side. As he got in, Justin was rolling down his and Gus' window. Sawyer waved. "Let me know when you land." Sawyer said.

"We will." Justin said.

"Bye grandpa! I love you." Gus said. Brian, Justin and Gus all stood, frozen. Well, Brian and Justin sat, but still, they were frozen to the spot. Sawyer put his head down, and when he finally looked up, Sawyer was crying. He stepped forward, opening the door, and leaned in and kissed Gus. He pointed at him.

"I love you to Gus. You FaceTime me tonight ok kiddo." Sawyer said. Gus nodded excitedly and gave him one more hug, and he stepped back, shutting the door. He wiped his face and leaned into Justin's window. "Get out of here before you guys make me cry like a freaken baby." Sawyer joked. Justin patter his hand, and he stepped back, waved, and Brian drove away. He watched in the rear view mirror as his dad stood watching them drive away, waving. Justin took his hand and laced it through his own as they drove. In silence.

"Daddy?" Gus asked, breaking the silence.

"Yeah Sonny Boy?" Brian.

"We're coming back to visit soon right?" Gus asked. Brian looked over at Justin, and Justin smiled. He glanced back at Gus quickly.

"Yeah Gus. We're most definitely coming back to visit.

Brian dropped Justin and Gus off at the front of the airport. Brian waited till they were all checked in curb side, and Justin took Gus in and waited at security. The line was long, so they got in line while Brian brought the rental back. Brian made it in perfect timing, and got in line with them to pass through security. Brian and Justin tried to pump Gus up about getting on a plane, but it was a noticeable difference that Gus was just sad to be leaving. They started talking about how they still had family close by, and he had more cousins that he'd meet this weekend. That definitely perked him up, and they officially had a happy Gus again. Justin knew Brian felt better, knowing Gus was happy again.

Gus was happily starring at the window as they were up in the air, and Justin turned to Brian. "Are you ok?" Justin asked. Brian nodded his head. "They're amazing. They're so much fun to be around. Do you like them?" Justin asked. Brian chuckled.

"Well would I offer them an invite to the wedding if I didn't?" Brian joked. Justin chuckled with him. He leaned his head against Brian's shoulder.

"I'm glad you found such an amazing family Brian." Justin said.

"GUS!" they heard Lindsay yell as soon as the sliding glass doors opened. Lindsay and Mel were standing in front of the van waiting for them, and Gus let go of Justin's hand and went running for them, jumped into Mel's arms and hugged both his mommies. "Oh we missed you so much." Lindsay cried.

"It was so quiet in the house without you." Melanie said.

"Did you have a good time with your new cousins?" Lindsay asked. Gus instantly started talking their ears off, and Lindsay and Melanie hung on every word he said. Brian and Justin put the three suitcases in the van, and hooked up Gus' car seat, without the three of them even moving.

"If you lesbians can pay attention for one minute and put the boy in his seat, we can get out of here." Brian said sarcastically. The girls laughed and Mel helped buckle in Gus. Lindsay hugged both of the boys.

"Did you have fun?" Lindsay asked them.

"It was amazing Linds. They adored Gus. He was so sad. He didn't want to come home." Justin joked.

"That's wonderful. I'm so glad. What about you two?" she asked. Justin smiled at Brian.

"We had the best couple of days there." Justin said. Brian nodded in agreement. Mel turned around and hugged Justin.

"We're glad he had so much fun. We're excited that he finally has cousins to play with. And aunts, uncles...lots of grandparents." Melanie said. Lindsay nodded her head.

"Well before you start getting all lesbionic, let's get out of here." Brian said. Mel rolled her eyes, while Justin and Lindsay chuckled. They all hopped into the van and let Gus give the play by play of the last three days.

"Can Ali come and sleep over?" Gus asked. They all chuckled at him.

"Anytime your cousins want to visit, they're more then welcome to sleep over." Melanie said. They ended up dropping Brian and Justin off at the loft. Justin started unpacking and looked at Brian.

"Seems weird not having Gus around." Justin said.

"He was barely even around us. I think he liked them more then us." Brian joked. As he started putting his dirty clothes in the hamper.

"I know. But we were still aware of where he was and what he was doing...I liked that it was just the three of us. Felt like a real family." Justin said. Justin wouldn't mind having a baby of their own, full time. But that could wait. Brian chuckled.

"Sentimental twat." Brian said. Justin stood in front of him when he went to walk out of the bedroom. Justin stared up at him, and wrapped his arms around Brian's waist.

"What did you say last night? Something about fucking me? And pounding me into the mattress?" Justin asked. Brian instantly felt himself get hard.

Two hours later, and after Brian had firmly pounded Justin into their mattress, they we're unpacked, showered, and dressed. It was a little past lunch time, and they were going to have dinner at Teresa's parents house, and Brian was going to meet all his aunts and uncles on his mothers side. Teresa had called Justin earlier and told them they were welcome to come over at any time. So Brian said it was ok if they went over now. Justin was practically jumping for joy. He had loved spending time with Sawyer's family. And he had spent a little time with Teresa's family, and adored them. Justin knew they were in for a super fun night. They drove down the drive way, and pulled up behind Teresa, who was just getting out of her car. She smiled at them as they got out.

"Hey boys. I'm so glad you came over early." Teresa said excitedly and hugged Justin. Brian watched as he whispered something in her ear, and Teresa looked over at Brian. "I get to hug you now huh." she said, smiling. Brian rolled his eyes and looked at Justin. Justin looked at Brian innocently.

"I just thought it would be fair. Sawyer's side of the family got to hug you." Justin said innocently. He chuckled.

"Well I'll only tell my mother. And I won't tell my siblings that we're allowed to give you a hug. That may keep Angela away for at least five minutes." Teresa joked. Teresa took a deep breath and leaned forward to hug Brian. She squeezed him tightly. "I waited 35 years to hold you in my arms again...and you were so worth the wait." she whispered in his ear. Brian cleared his throat and she pulled back. Wiping at her face. She picked her bags up that she had placed on the ground.

"Here let me grab that." Justin said, taking them from her. She smiled.

"I told myself that I wasn't going to cry. But you just had to tell me I could hug my son." Teresa joked. Brian grabbed the other bag. "Alright come on in. My mother's in the kitchen cooking for dinner tonight. You might be able to convince her to let you try some of her meatballs now. Their famous." she said as they followed her into the house. Justin was totally excited for Brian to be here. This was the first time that Brian would go into his grandparents house. "MA! Brian and Justin are here." Teresa called out as she hung her coat up, letting the boys know to do the same. Genevieve came out of the kitchen, with an apron on.

"Boys! I'm so glad you're here. How was your trip?" Genevieve asked. Justin leaned forward and hugged her.

"We had a great time." Justin said. She pulled back, and before she could say anything, Brian leaned forward and hugged her. She was stunned for a moment, looking at Teresa. She just smiled and nodded her head, and she hugged him back. Brian pulled back.

"They were going to tell you that I broke down and let everyone hug me. So before they could make some sentimental joke or some stupid annoying comment, I just hugged you first." Brian said. Genevieve smiled, while Justin and Teresa chuckled.

"Well it doesn't matter to me. Come on. I want to hear all about your trip." Genevieve said, grabbing Brian's hand and leading him to the kitchen.

"He's to skinny. My mother's going to make it her personal mission to fatten him up." Teresa whispered to Justin as they walked to the kitchen.

"Yeah good luck with that." Justin joked. They sat down at the table while Genevieve went back to the stove. "What are you making?" he asked.

"Oh it's Brian's first night here. I'm making some of the best Italian food you'll ever taste. Nothing beats homemade. I have some Lasagna, Ravioli's, Chicken Broccoli Ziti, Eggplant Parmesan and Meatballs. And some garlic bread. Did you get the stuff to make a Antipasto salad?" Genevieve asked Teresa.

"Yes. Let me just start putting that away." Teresa said as she grabbed the bags and put them on the counter.

"You made so much food." Justin joked. Genevieve laughed.

"Your in a house full of Italians. I have to make more for the grandkids tomorrow." Genevieve said.

"Mom is an excellent cook. She has the best recipes. Some of them are passed down from great-great-great grandmothers." Teresa said. Brian and Justin smiled

"You're way to skinny Brian. I think we need to put some meat on those bones." Genevieve said. Justin looked at Teresa behind her mother. She gave him that, 'I told you so' look. Justin looked over at Brian, and the look of horror made Justin laugh. He patted his hand.

"I think Brian likes being skinny mother." Teresa said. Genevieve waved the spoon at her, making them chuckle.

"He doesn't eat any fat or carbs after 7:00." Justin told her. Genevieve slowly turned her head. Teresa laughed, covering her face. Justin just smiled, while Brian gulped.

"Well Italian food isn't a fat or a carb." Genevieve said. They just stared at her. "It's a way of life." she said, and pointed the spoon at Brian. "So you're going to eat my cooking tonight. And tomorrow night. And I won't hear another word about it." she said.

"Yes ma'am" Brian said. Genevieve smiled and went back to her cooking. Teresa brought them on a tour of his grandparents house. Everywhere you turned, their was pictures covering every wall, shelf and any flat surface you could see.

"My mother was obsessed with taking pictures. She turned all of her children into the same photo hungry person. Even the grandkids. Every single get together, someone's flashing a camera. My mother of course doesn't walk around with a camera anymore. She's above that. That's what we're for, to take the pictures and just give her the copies." Teresa said, laughing. Genevieve gave them a light lunch to eat, and Justin started telling them all about their visit with Sawyer.

"Sammy just went running right into you? Why am I not surprised by that?" Teresa joked. Justin smiled.

"Well she wasn't going to listen to Sawyer about not hugging Brian...she's hugged him before." Justin said, looking at Brian. Mel and Lindsay knew about Sam, but Justin had asked them not to say anything. Justin wanted to surprise everyone with that.

"What do you mean?" Teresa asked. Justin just laughed and rubbed his face.

"We've met Sam and Josh. I worked for Josh's gallery in New York." Justin said. Teresa and Genevieve's eyes widened. "She's the one who told me to come home. They even picked us up from the airport when we came back." Justin said. He pulled out his Iphone and showed them the picture of the four of them. Before they could reply, Robert walked in with two women behind him. He smiled instantly when he saw Brian and Justin.

"Hey you're already here. I thought that was your car out there." Robert said, patting both of the men on their shoulders.

"Dad look at this." Teresa said holding the phone for her dad to see. The two girls looked over his shoulder.

"Is that Sammy and Josh?" the older of the two asked. Teresa nodded.

"These are two of my sisters. Genevieve and Maria. But we call her Gen. Girls. These are my sons. Brian, and soon to be son, Justin." Teresa said proudly.

"Angela wasn't kidding about this boys smile." Maria said as she pinched Justin's cheek, making him laugh.

"I can't believe it. You're like a mini Sawyer." Gen said.

"It's so good to finally meet you boys. Teresa's already talked our ear off about you both." Maria said. Justin smiled.

"I'm sure she made an interesting impression. Most people don't get to see Teresa take her boots off the first night they meet her and kick someone's ass." Gen joked. Teresa slapped her sisters hand and glared at her.

"Where was this picture taken?" Maria asked, looking at the Iphone. Justin smiled.

"That was in New York a few months ago." Justin said simply. Robert, Gen and Maria all looked at the picture and tried to work out what he said. "Apparently Samantha was the very first family member that Brian met." Justin said. All their eyes widened.

"Ok you three sit down. I want to hear this story." Teresa said. Justin laughed and explained to them how he had met Sam in New York, and worked for Josh's gallery.

"What a small, small world." Robert said. Justin nodded and looked at Brian.

"That's not the only coincidence. Brian's advertising company actually took an account away from Sawyer a few months back." Justin said. The conversation was fun, and one by one, all of Brian's aunts and uncles came in. They were just waiting for Angela and her husband Brody to get there before they sat down at the table. Justin was excited when Vance, Anthony and Ricky walked in. He already knew them, and already told Brian every detail that he knew about them. They were all careful about not overwhelming Brian. He was basically meeting 14 people tonight. All Teresa's brothers and sisters, and their husbands and wives.

They all asked the same questions. How did they meet? What did they do? What other places did Brian own? What was their house like? The wedding? Gus? But Brian's grandmother had told them to wait till Angela was there, so Justin could answer a lot of those questions. They knew as soon as Angela was there, because the door slammed open and she made plenty of noise. Just like Sam would.

"Alright Ma. We're starving. We got stuck with a fucking flat tire. So no one fuck around with me until I've had some wine and food." Angela said as she entered the living room. Brian's grandmother rolled her eyes and stood up.

"Alright let's go into the Dining room." She said. She glared at Angela as she walked by. Angela stopped Brian as he went to walk by. She pointed her finger at him.

"Once I've eaten, me and you are gonna have a little discussion. Skin infection my ass you little shit. Rule number one in this family. Don't ever fuck with me." Angela warned him. Justin covered his face and laughed. Brian just stood there, not knowing what to say, for once.

"Don't make me take my fucking boots off and kick your ass." Teresa said. Brian smiled. Angela smirked at Brian, and leaned up and smacked his face.

"Don't worry. Something tells me you and I are going to be great friends kid." Angela said. They sat down, and served up the food. Justin was excited to try everything. He soon had his plate covered with a little of everything.

"Oh ma you're going to love this kid. He's a true Italian already." Ricky said. Justin chuckled.

"I actually don't have any Italian in me." Justin said.

"Oh good God no." Brian's grandmother said, covering her face.

"Italian by injection." they all said, and burst out laughing. Justin's eyes widened at the sex joke, right at the table.

"Your Italian now kid." Brian's uncle Robert said.

"Italian by injection?" Brian asked out loud.

"Please don't tell me we have to explain that joke to you." Ricky joked. Brian laughed and shook his head.

"No not at all." Brian said. So Justin was Italian, by Brian sticking his dick in his ass. He just shook his head.

"They've been making that joke for years. They still think it's amusing." Brian's grandmother said, rolling her eyes.

"Ok. So I'm getting a little confused. What order are all you guys in? And who's married to who?" Justin asked. Teresa cleared her throat.

"So it goes Vance, Anthony, Genevieve, Ricky, me, Maria, Robert and then Angela." Teresa said. Justin and Brian nodded.

"How the hell did you do it with eight kids?" Brian asked.

"Lots of wine." both his grandparents said at the same time, holding up their wine glasses, making them chuckle.

"Ok. So Vance is married to Martha, Anthony is married to Rebecca. Genevieve and Regan. Ricky and Melinda. Maria and Trevor. Robert and Elizabeth. And then Angela and Brody." Teresa said. Brian crossed his eyes from the confusion. Teresa put her hand on his arm. "Don't worry. I'll write you out a cheat sheet." Teresa said. Brian chuckled and nodded his head.

"Once you get passed all the aunts and uncles, it's just the cousins you have to learn. Then the cousins that are married and have kids. That's the real fucking bitch." Anthony joked.

"It's alright. You don't have to learn them all at once." Teresa said, trying to comfort him.

"It's a fucking bitch for me." Vance said. He looked at Brian. "Seven kids. Four in-laws. Another soon to be. Nine grandkids and one on the way." Vance said picking up his glass. "I need all the wine I can get." Vance said, gulping his wine.

"Notice he never mentioned his wife." Martha said, holding up her glass, making them chuckle.

"Well maybe before you all leave, you could just kinda give me a head count..." Justin trailed off, looking at Brian. "I have invitations in my jacket. Me and Brian wanted to invite you all, and all the cousins and babies of cousins to our wedding in May." Justin said. It was the first time that since everyone entered the house, that they were all silent. Justin looked around. They were all speechless. Teresa covered her face with one of her hands, and her brother Robert rubbed her back. She looked at Brian and Justin.

"We get to come to your wedding?" Teresa asked, choked up. Brian smiled at her and nodded.

"Figured it was the least we could do after you punched Justin's dad in the face for us." Brian told her. She laughed and wiped her face. She reached over and pulled Brian into a hug. He was taken back a bit when she suddenly hugged him, but he didn't mind it. She pulled back and laughed, and picked up her glass.

"My son's getting married." Teresa said. Everyone raised their glasses.

"To Brian and Justin getting married." Brian's grandfather said.

"Fuck that. To Teresa's son getting married." Ricky said, making Teresa laugh. Brian felt weird having all the attention on him, and Justin blushed. They had Justin tell the story of how they met, even though Teresa had already told most of it. He had told them all about his time in New York, and how he knew Sam and Josh. And he had told them all about their time with Sawyer's family. And then they had asked Brian all types of questions about Gus. About his two moms, and their other family. Michael, Debbie, Emmett and Ted.

"Ok you two are purposely leaving out what you all did the first night you were at Sawyer's house." Angela said. Brian and Justin just stared at her, and she looked at the rest of the family. "Sammy and Josh went on a Taco Bell run." Angela said. Everyone started laughing and clapping.

"Oh Jameson's. They make the best weed." Ricky said.

"Wait Sawyer didn't tell me this. Who was smoking with you guys?" Teresa asked. Justin looked around, embarrassed.

"Oh please don't be embarrassed. We've all done it. Sammy likes to hand out blunts every time one of us visits Boston. The Jameson family has marijuana like no other." Maria joked.

"So was it just you four?" Teresa asked. Justin laughed.

"Sam has that room off to the side-" Justin tried to say, but they all nodded in knowing.

"It's always been her place to smoke pot." Ricky said. Justin laughed.

"Well it was us, and Sawyer-" Justin tried to say.

"That fucking rat didn't tell me." Teresa grumbled, sipping her wine. Brian and Justin chuckled.

"Well Derek, Julianna, Meredith and Carver were all there to. Well Sam and Josh to." Justin said.

"Oh I'm sure Cynthia loved them all smoking in the house. They always think they're so sneaky, but she knows. She always knows." Genevieve laughed.

"Meredith even let Allison try some." Justin said.

"Oh do not tell our kids that." Melinda, Ricky's wife said, covering her face.

"Oh I know. Our kids are gonna be sitting there begging us to let them smoke with us. So not going to happen." Maria said. Brian raised his glass.

"Guess it pays to have an 'in' with the oldest cousin. You get away with murder when they're around." Brian joked, smiling at them, and taking a sip of his drink.

"And you'll get away with anything." Teresa agreed. "If one of you caught your younger kids smoking with Brian, and Brian is the one that took responsibility, who's gonna get mad at him?" Teresa asked. They all looked at each other, smiled and shook their heads. Teresa looked at Justin. "He's already one step ahead of the game. Brian's gonna be able to get away with anything and everything in this family for a very long time." Teresa informed him.

"Who's gonna get mad at the long lost nephew?" Ricky asked. Some of the aunts and uncles raised their glasses in agreement, the other's just laughed.

"Don't give him that much space. He'll take it all and make you sorry for it." Justin joked. Brian pretended to offended, and held his hand to his chest.

"I'm hurt. What makes you think I would do anything to upset these fine, lovely people, who are now my family. I would never do anything to anger them, or get their children into trouble." Brian said. Justin snorted.

"That's a big fucking lie." Justin joked.

"Oh I can already see all the teenagers driving over to cousin Brian's house to get drunk and smoke weed." Elizabeth, Robert's wife, groaned in a joking way into her hands.
