CHAPTER 32

Brian and Justin had a lot fun with Gus on Father's Day. Gus and Memphis literally were best friends, so they stayed together the whole day, which meant Brian's cousin Vance was with them. Brian couldn't help but like Vance. He had a good personality, and laughed a lot with them. The three of them were getting Gus and Memphis into trouble, because when they went out to the playground, the boys were playing on the monkey bars, and Justin started in on Brian that he couldn't hang upside down. So that of course made Brian take off his socks and expensive Prada shoes and rolled up his jeans, and climbed up on the monkey bars to hang upside down, along with Justin and then Vance. Lucy came running over at that time to yell at them to get down, because the kids aren't allowed to do that. But that of course didn't stop her from taking a picture of them.

"You know, your actually not to bad. For a hetero." Brian said as he put his shoes back on. Justin laughed at the expression on Vance's face.

"I don't know if I should take that as a compliment or not." Vance said.

It definitely was a good day. For Brian, it was trying to make up for missing so much of Gus' life. Gus never knew there was ever problem. But Brian never wanted him to know. He wanted to be apart of Gus' every day life. He wanted Gus to know he was loved.

For Justin, it was finally being a dad, and getting to do the father son things. And, it was making up for what he had lost with his own father. He wanted Gus to always know that he was loved. That even though he wasn't his biological son, he loved him like he was.

They stopped by the toy store to pick up the toys, and of course they had to look around some more. "Do you guys have a train set? You guys could connect a bunch of tracks and make it really huge." Justin said. Brian and Gus just looked at each other, and smiled, and then ran down the isle to get more train sets, and then went back home to start building more of their town in the play room. As soon as they got home, Brian went upstairs and changed, and got to work with Gus.

Justin watched them from the doorway. It was beautiful to watch Brian play with Gus. The way that he talked with him. He was off in another world. No one else existed to Brian, except for Gus. He made them dinner, and barely convinced them to come out and eat at the table. They gave Gus a bath, and then Gus convinced them to let him watch a movie in their bed. Gus' new obsession was Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, which Justin was all to happy to watch. So they got into bed, got under the covers with Gus between them, and a big bowl of popcorn

"Big news. I'm going back to Swallow Falls to destroy the FLDSMDFR, which is creating deadly food monsters which are trying to learn to swim so they can attack Lady Liberty!" Justin said excitedly along with movie. Brian looked over at Justin, just like Sam Sparks was looking at Flint Lockwood. Brian shook his head.

"How many times have you watched this movie?" Brian asked.

"A million." Justin said and smiled, making Brian chuckle. Gus fell asleep half way through the movie, but Brian and Justin didn't have the heart to move him, so they let him stay, while they left the room. Justin went upstairs to the attic to work on Rage, while Brian went downstairs to his office to work on an account. Brian finished up some things, and realized it was past midnight. He locked up his house, and turned off all the lights. It was weird locking up a house. Before, it was just one giant room, and one door. But he was settling into this house, and was loving it more and more each day. He looked into his room, and realized Justin wasn't there. So he walked up the stairs into the attic, and saw Justin sitting in the couch, drawing out a sketch. Brian quietly came up behind him and ran his hands down Justin's chest and started kissing his neck. Justin smiled and moved his neck to give him better access.

"Wanna know what I realized down in my office?" Brian asked. Justin chuckled as Brian dipped his tongue into his ear.

"What would that be?" Justin asked.

"I get more work done in this house." Brian said, biting his neck.

"Why's that?" Justin asked as he closed his eyes and picked up his hand and ran it through Brian's hair.

"Because when I'm in my office, I can't hear your constant jabbering or you putzing around the house. Your off in your own space, and I'm off in mine. And I don't have to clean up all your crap in order to get to my work." Brian told him, making Justin chuckle. He turned his head to look at him.

"Are you saying that you miss me when your in your office all by yourself?" Justin asked, smiling at him. Brian laughed and ran his hand through Justin's hair.

"It was kind of boring down there. And much to quiet." Brian told him. Justin kissed him and laid his head back down.

"I was kind of bored up here to. I love it up here don't get my wrong but..." Justin trailed off.

"It's more of a place for you and Mikey to work. Not so much you by yourself." Brian said. Justin nodded.

"Exactly."

"Well you know, I do have a couch in my office." Brian told him. Justin raised his eyebrows. "You could always come in there and work on your comic." Brian said, and then smiled. Justin leaned forward and put his sketch book and marker on the table, and pulled Brian by the shoulders, over the couch and making Brian lay on top of him, making Brian laugh. "Sunshine are you trying to tell me something?" Brian asked as he ran his hands through Justin's hair.

"That I agreed to still blow you, if you fucked me in every room of this palace. And you haven't fucked me yet in the attic." Justin said, smiling up at him. Brian reached a hand down between them and palmed Justin's hardening cock through his sweat pants, making the blonde close his eyes and moan.

"Think you can be quiet and not wake up the kid?" Brian whispered. Justin laughed and nodded his head. Brian smiled and stood up, ripping his sweats off and then dragging Justin's down his legs and throwing them over to the other side of the room. Justin laughed again as he laid back down, bringing Justin's legs up and started kissing him.

"We need to hide some lube up here." Justin whispered between kisses. Brian chuckled and pulled back. He spit into his hand, and brought it down to his cock and covered it, and then did it again, but brought it down to Justin's hole, making him moan when he rubbed it. "Don't stick your finger in." Justin told him. Brian smiled down at him and wiggled his eyebrows. He lined his cock up and pushed slowly into Justin, making him wince and bite his lip.

"God you're so tight." Brian groaned, pulling out and pushing more into Justin.

After a few rounds, and being quiet enough to not wake Gus up, they went back down and quietly snuck into the room to take a quick shower. They locked the door incase Gus did wake up. Justin tried to keep Brian off of him, but he had him pinned against the glass shower door, and fucked him hard from behind. Justin was shocked that Gus never heard them. Justin got comfy under the covers and kissed Gus' forehead. "I really love when he sleeps at our house." Justin said as Brian got settled.

Brian knew what Justin was thinking when he looked down at Gus. He knew Justin wanted one of his own. One of their own. One they didn't have to share with the munchers. He didn't know how to talk about that. It was one of the things Justin wanted. He said so that night in the loft when he was getting dressed for Babylon, and basically ignored Justin while he spoke. He said he thought they were going to start a family. That's one of the things Justin wanted more then anything. Brian said he would do anything for him. But could he give him that? Was that something that Brian could do?

He felt Justin's lips on his cheek, and turned to look at him. "I said your name twice. Where'd you just go?" Justin asked. Brian shook his head and laid down.

"I have no idea." Brian joked.

Gus woke Brian up the next morning by jumping on him with a knee to the stomach, making Brian groan. "Oh God Sonny boy." Brian groaned out, making Gus laugh. Brian was laying on his side, and Gus sat down on Brian's hip, with one leg in front of Brian, and the other behind him.

"Good morning daddy." Gus said. Brian cried.

"Sonny boy you'll wake Sunshine up." Brian whispered to him.

"Daddy's already awake." Gus said. Brian opened his eyes to see Justin's side of the bed empty. He turned his head to look at the bathroom to door to see it was wide open, so he wasn't in there.

"Do you know where he is?" Brian asked. Gus held out his arms and shrugged his shoulders. Meaning he didn't know. Brian nodded and turned onto his back, making Gus laugh, but kept him on this stomach. "Well how bout you let your old man pee, and then we'll so hunt Sunshine down." Brian said. Gus smiled.

"Ok daddy." Gus said. Brian shoved Gus off, making him laugh loudly. He used the bathroom and came out, to see Gus jumping on the bed.

"Hop on Sonny boy." Brian said, bending down a bit and showing him his back, so Gus could jump on and wrap his arms around Brian's neck. They walked out of the room and towards the stairs. "Oh Sunshine!" Brian sang, making Gus laugh again.

"He didn't answer daddy." Gus said.

"I know. But we'll find him. Daddy can't hide from us." Brian said. It was weird calling Justin daddy. But it just flowed off his tongue. He didn't think he would like that as much as he did. He liked being tied to Justin in these ways. When they got to the bottom of the stairs, Brian called him again. "Sunshine!" Brian sang.

"I'm in the kitchen." Justin called out.

"Should have known. If you ever need to find your other daddy, look in the kitchen first. He's always hungry and shoving food in his mouth." Brian told Gus.

"I heard that." Justin said as the came into the kitchen. He had a griddle out and was flipping pancakes.

"I love pancakes." Gus cheered. Justin faked surprise.

"Really? I had no idea. I hope you don't mind chocolate chip and blueberry pancakes." Justin asked. Gus got even more excited.

"Those are my favorite!" Gus said, bouncing up and down on Brian's back. Brian walked over and turned, so Gus could give Justin a kiss. Brian turned and kissed Justin. Justin smiled up at him, one his big sunshiney smiles.

"You got some chocolate right there." Brian said as he wiped the corner of his mouth. "Already dug in?" Brian asked. He shook his head and laughed, as he flipped another pancake.

"I didn't eat one yet. I just tried a bite of the mix. I always do." Justin said as Brian slid Gus off his back and into a chair. "I put some Almond Joy creamer in it. Flavored coffee creamers always taste much better then using milk." Justin said. Brian walked up behind Justin and wrapped his arms around his waist and planted a few kisses on his neck and shoulder, making Justin chuckle. Justin was wearing one of Brian's wife beaters, so he had easy access to Justin's neck. "Don't start something you can't finish Mr. Kinney." Justin told him. He yelped when Brian bit down with his teeth.

"Have I ever told you how hot you look in my clothes?" Brian asked huskily, making Justin shiver. He tried pushing Brian away.

"You're going to make me burn the pancakes. Get off of me." Justin joked. Brian gave him one last kiss on his cheek and then smacked his ass, smiling and walking over to the coffee maker to pour some coffee and walking over to the table to sit with Gus. Brian couldn't help but smile when he saw that Gus was coloring, and the newspaper was sitting on the table. Justin really had this domestic thing down perfectly already. "Lindsay called this morning. She was saying that Michael was going to be dropping J.R. off later on to them. So I invited them all over for dinner." Justin said, walking over to the stove to grab the bacon. "Do you mind?" Justin asked. Brian raised his eyebrows.

"It's not gonna be like it was with Eli and Monty is it?" Brian groaned. Justin just laughed and shook his head, bringing over a plate full of pancakes and put one on Gus' plate, and then Brian's and then himself.

"No." he said and put the plate down, and went and scooped some scrambled eggs out of the pan and into a bowl, and then brought that and the bacon over, and sat on the other of Gus. Brian was cutting up Gus' pancake. "Gardening and speed bump petitions aren't my thing." Justin joked.

"Tell me the truth." Brian said, eyeing him. Justin tilted his head, waiting for Brian to ask. "You didn't like them very much did you?" Brian asked. Justin smiled and started scooping out some scrambled eggs.

"They were nice. And I don't mind being around them...for short periods of time." Justin said, trying not to laugh.

"See. I knew it. I couldn't stand them either." Brian said, pouring some syrup on Gus' pancake, while Justin put some eggs and bacon on Gus' plate to.

"There ya go Gussy." Justin said, stealing Mel and Lindsay's nickname for him. He looked back up at Brian. "Like I've always said. You have to be comfortable with whatever homosexual person you decide to be. If they're happy like that, then fine. But...gay guys like that kind of..." Justin trailed off.

"Annoy the living crap out of you?" Brian finished for him, making Justin laugh and nod his head.

"I like going to Babylon and dancing and..." Justin trailed off, looking down at Gus. "And doing all that other stuff. But you can still go there and be monogamous. And you don't have to go into the Backroom and take...candy." Justin said, not saying drugs. "I have fun when we go dancing. And I get that they like the spend quiet evenings at home with their kids...last night was great, and I loved it. Just the three of us." Justin said, smoothing down Gus' hair. Brian knew he was thinking of babies again. He looked back up at Brian. "But I also like going to Babylon for the night, and passing out at the loft." Justin said, shoving some food into this mouth.

"Well we can go play at Babylon anytime you want Sunshine." Brian said, smiling. Justin nodded.

"They're a bit to judgmental" Justin said, but then he laughed. "Well you are to. But at least your funny about it. They're...rude about it. I just don't like how they think if we don't plant flowers and cook every night, don't go to every gay event to support at risk youth or all that crap, that you're not a good person. They look down on you otherwise. Just not my ideas of life long friends." Justin joked. Brian smiled.

"Me? Judgmental?" Brian asked. Justin rolled his eyes. Gus was to excited to eat his food to slow. He was excited to get up and go back to work on their town. Brian and Gus ended up spending the day in there. Building, and stopping to play. He was working on dinner when Mel, Lindsay, Michael, Ben and J.R. came in.

"Hey Justin." Lindsay said as she kissed his cheek. Melanie showed him a bottle of wine.

"Hey sweetie." Mel said and kissed his other cheek.

"Hey guys. Oh that's a really good wine." Justin said, his eyes brightening.

"Something smells amazing." Ben said as he placed his Ipad down on the table. Lindsay opened a tall cabinet and pulled out a pink booster seat that Justin got J.R. to sit in whenever she was there.

"No kidding." Michael said, putting J.R. in her seat.

"Well thank you. I'm glad you guys could all come. It should be ready in a little while." Justin said as he opened a cabinet and grabbed some glasses.

"Whohoo so fancy." Michael joked, making Justin laugh.

"There mismatched right now. I put them on the registry, and we got a lot of stuff for our house warming. I figure we'll get the rest at the wedding." Justin said, smiling.

"Oh Jesus would you look at how big his smile is." Michael joked, sitting next to his daughter. Justin laughed again.

"Where's Gus and Brian?" Lindsay asked.

"Oh they're in the playroom. They've been in there since this morning building Gayopolis." Justin said, opening the bottle of wine and started pouring it into the glasses.

"They're still in there? I called around 10 this morning to check up on Gus." Melanie said, chuckling.

"They're building Gayopolis?" Ben asked. Justin nodded and laughed.

"They've got Tinker Toys and Lego's and train tracks and a whole bunch of stuff. They call me in when they need me to make a card board box all pretty. I made Babylon." Justin said, rolling his eyes and making the others laugh. "I check in on them form time to time. I brought them food. Like lunch and some snacks. But they've been holed up in there all day." Justin said as he went over to the fridge and grabbed a couple more of bottles of wine that he had and put them on the table and sat down with them.

"I try to sit there and play all those game with Gus. But I can only take cars and trains for so long." Melanie joked.

"Brian's always been like that with him though. He never gets tired. He'll sit there with Gus for hours playing all those little boy games. I'm surprised he plays with all the action figures though." Lindsay joked, looking at Michael.

"I know I thought we'd have to enlist Michael to be his father to play all that stuff with him." Mel joked.

"He gets lost in that world with Gus. If I want Brian to actually hear something I say, I never talk when he's playing with Gus." Justin joked.

"He's actually dependable when it comes to Gus nowadays." Mel said.

"I told him he had to be careful. He was gonna turn out to be an ok dad despite of himself." Michael joked as he took a sip of his wine. "I always knew he could be a great dad. He just had to get himself out of that mindset from Jack and Joan." Michael said, making both Justin and Lindsay groan.

"That woman is a totally bitch. You should have seen her when I went to the hospital to talk to her. I'm surprised she even gave me the information to find them." Justin said.

"Medications make you do strange things." Ben joked.

"He really has changed though." Lindsay said. They all looked at her. "It takes Brian a long time to do something. I know after his cancer, he came around more. And then when we lived in Canada, I could tell it just devastated him. Living across the street from him now, he sees Gus all the time. He came over just the other night just to say goodnight to him." Lindsay told them. Justin smiled.

"I told him a long time ago he was a good dad. He just had to let himself be a good dad. Not to get hung up on Jack and Joan. Having cancer really did start it. He told me after the Liberty Ride that he wanted to spend more time with Gus. And he really did that last year. And after you girls moved back from Canada...it really just made him feel like he took it for granted that he couldn't just pop in whenever he wanted. He was missing out on the best moments of Gus' life...and having his parents around, knowing that he's not related to Jack and Joan, and it isn't in his blood to be a shitty parent...I think he's finally letting himself be a dad." Justin said. The other four adults just remained silent.

"Wow." Lindsay said, smiling.

"I don't think I could have said that any more perfect." Michael said, looking at Ben.

"His parents are amazing. I can already see a change in Brian from having them around so much. He tries so hard to not let anyone notice that he's happy. But he is." Lindsay said.

"His whole family is amazing. I never though Brian Kinney would be related to such amazing people." Melanie joked, making the group laugh.

"They're wonderful. They're just what Brian needed. I really think having them around so much has done wonders for his mental stability." Justin joked, taking a sip of his wine. "I think they've finally made him realize, that it's in his blood to be a good parent. He has someone to look up to. It was the best day ever that Joan got sick." Justin said, and then covered his mouth. Not meaning to wish someone to die.

"I don't think you give yourself any credit for how much you have to do with his feelings for Gus." Lindsay said. Melanie nodded.

"Oh I totally agree. You've totally mellowed Mr. Fuck Every Guy I See." Mel joked. He covered her mouth and her eyes grew wide as she looked over at J.R. But she didn't notice. She was so engrossed in Bubble Guppies.

"I haven't even known Brian that long. I came around while you two were already together. But just in those few years, I've noticed a huge difference in Brian. He's more loving and caring." Ben said.

"Don't let Brian hear you say he's loving and caring." Michael joked, making them laugh.

"He'll die if hears you say that." Justin laughed.

"Seriously Justin. Even though me and Michael are his best friends, we can only get through so far with him. Of course I was a lot better at getting through to him when it came to you." Lindsay said, but then glared at Michael, making them all laugh. Everyone knew that when Brian did something mean and cruel to Justin, Lindsay would stick up for Justin. Brian would listen to her. Michael on the other hand, would never stick up for Justin.

"Hey now I've come a long way in the Brian and Justin saga." Michael joked.

"He has. I thank Ben for that one. If he wasn't around you'd still be in the middle of our relationship." Justin joked. Michael hid his face and laughed.

"I wasn't that bad was I?" Michael asked. Justin, Ben, Lindsay and Melanie just stared at him. "Alright I get it." Michael said, drinking his wine. Ben laughed and patted his shoulders.

"Well. I'm glad that he's finally wised up. He's a lot happier now. And I know that that has everything to do with you Justin." Lindsay said. Justin laughed and shook his head.

"Don't be so modest. It really is you. Lindsay and Michael never could get through to him when it came to Gus. But you always could." Melanie said. The other three agreed. "And you're the only one who put up with his crap." Mel said, shaking her glass. "Pour me some more." Mel joked. Justin laughed and pour her another glass, and himself before passing the bottle down to the guys.

"I didn't always put up with it." Justin told them.

"Yeah but those two times you left him, you both came back stronger then before." Lindsay said.

"Three times." Justin said. But she shook her head.

"New York didn't count. You didn't LEAVE him. You just moved away for a while. And, you came back stronger. Your getting married." Lindsay said and clapped her hands.

"Take the compliments and run with them. You changed Brian Kinney." Melanie said.

"He's been a lot happier since you came back from New York." Michael said. Ben huffed.

"Do you know how many times a week Michael invited him out? We were even willing to go to Babylon every night. He just never wanted to go out." Ben said. Justin nodded sadly, while Mel laughed.

"See. You changed him. And he's happy about it. He's happy with his life. I never thought it would happen." Melanie said.

"Did you finally grow that penis?" Brian asked as he walked into the kitchen. They all turned to see him and Gus walk in, with Gus running over to hug Melanie and Lindsay.

"Hey there sweetheart. Did you have a fun couple of days with your daddies?" Lindsay asked. Gus went into a minute by minute detail of the past two days. Justin served them dinner and sat down with them. Lindsay and Melanie were listening to Gus, while Michael and Ben were talking to J.R. Brian leaned in towards Justin.

"What were you guys talking about before I came in?" Brian asked curiously. Justin smiled at him.

"They were talking about what a great father you are." Justin said. Brian was surprised by that answer. He didn't like those kind of compliments and sat back a little. Justin chuckled at him.

"Did you know your boss sold the Art Gallery?" Brian asked Lindsay. She looked up at him and rolled her eyes.

"Yes. He told me yesterday. He said some stupid gay hot shot collector bought it. He thinks the guy is gonna turn it into a huge Prada store. We were thinking of me just taking some time off again while I look for another job." Lindsay said.

"That sucks. I totally love that Gallery. I was gonna go down there next week to see if I could display something." Justin said.

"That's just awesome." Brian said. They all looked at him, and he dramatically rolled his eyes. "Now I'm going to have to find someone else to run the damn Gallery." Brian said. They all just stared at him, and he widened his eyes. "Well I don't know how to run an Art Gallery." Brian said and shook his head, taking a bite of his dinner. "He told me that you were the best. He couldn't wait to take you back when you moved back from Canada. Now I have to find someone else to run that stupid place." Brian said. Lindsay put her hands over her mouth.

"You bought the Art Gallery?" Justin asked. Brian smiled.

"He said some collector bought it." Lindsay said.

"Well I am a collector. I don't specify in Art Galleries. I'm trying to buy up the whole gay community in Pittsburgh. Your Art Gallery just happens to be one of them. I was going to ask you to run in, but since you're quitting..." Brian trailed off. Lindsay screamed and got up, running to the other side of the table to Brian. She sat in his lap and hugged him and kissed him.

"Gosh that's my fiance you're kissing." Justin joked.

"Don't worry Sunshine. She's not my type. I like blondes but she doesn't have the right body parts." Brian said. Lindsay slapped his chest and stood up, and he watched her walk around the table. "And she doesn't have a cute bubble butt. You know how much I like those." Brian joked, making Justin laugh.

"So another one bites the dust." Mel joked. They all looked at her. "That's one more of us working for Brian Kinney. So that's me, Linds, Ted, Debbie and Hunter. Watch out boys or you'll be working for him to." Mel joked. Ted and Melanie worked for Brian at Kinnetik, and Debbie and Hunter worked at the Diner, that Brian now owned.

"And Monday, Emmett's precious boy toy Calvin will find out he'll be working for me to." Brian said and smiled.

"You bought the gym to?" Justin asked, shaking his head and laughing. Brian was always full of surprises. Calvin worked at the gym as a personal trainer

"Does that mean we get free membership now?" Michael asked. Brian huffed and poured himself a glass of wine.

"Yes Mikey. You and the professor will be able to go to the gym for free." Brian told them. He took a sip of his wine. "Blake will be next." Brian said. Justin just shook his head. He worked at a Rehabilitation Center.

"How are you buying that? Isn't it government owned?" Justin asked. Brian shook his head.

"Privately. And some queen got mugged last week outside of it. It's the fourth time in six months. The owner is wanting to sell it. And we all know that I love everything homosexualally owned." Brian said, smiling.

"Jesus. He's going to own us all in a few weeks." Melanie said.

"Not my Comic Book shop. That baby's all mine." Michael said.

"Me either. Brian's not going to buy a college." Ben said.

"And why's that professor?" Brian asked. Ben smiled.

"It's filled with more heteros then homos." Ben said. Brian nodded.

"Good point." Brian said and shivered.

"Well Emmett runs his own party planning business. So unless Brian plans on buying the news station, Emmett's not going to be working for him either." Lindsay pointed out.

"I could find my ways. And on a very happy note. I had my share of an account. 9.6 million dollars was transferred into my account as of three hours ago." Brian said, smiling.

"I definitely chose to marry the right guy." Justin joked.

"So butchy Mel here is getting a pretty little bonus." Brian said. Mel's eyes widened.

"Me? Why?" she asked.

"Because you won your first case for me. With Sunshine's little sister. That deserves a pretty bonus." Brian said. He held up his glass and looked over at Michael. "Sure you don't want me to buy your Comic Book store?" Brian joked.

"I'll think about it." Michael joked. After that, talk went everywhere, but it got steered towards Brian and Justin's wedding.

"So are you two gonna recite your own vows?" Ben asked. Michael burst out laughing.

"Could you imagine Brian reciting his own vows?" Michael asked. Brian rolled his eyes and looked over at Justin. He looked uncomfortable.

"Brian can do anything he sets his mind to." Lindsay joked, giggling from the wine.

"I figure we'll just skip that part. Just do traditional." Justin said, taking a big gulp of his wine, and pouring some more.

After everyone had left, Brian wandered off, and Justin cleaned the kitchen up. He liked having a dishwasher. Something they didn't have at the loft. He ended up locking up his house, and turning off the lights. Justin wondered when that wonderful feeling, that this was his house, would finally wear off. He picked out everything. From the paint on the walls, to the wood on the floor, to the painting hanging in the hallway. He loved everything about it. He walked upstairs into his room, and saw that only one of the lights were on in the bathroom.

"Brian what are you doing?" Justin called out. It was quiet. To quiet. He walked in, and looked towards the shower. He frowned. He thought he was getting in the shower.

"Over here Sunshine." Brian said. Justin turned his head and saw Brian sitting in the bathtub, and laughed.

"What the hell are you doing in there?" Justin asked as he walked and stood in front of their huge bathtub, crossing his arms. Brian had turned off the lights, and dimmed a couple of them. And was laying back against the tub, with the water steaming, and bubbles. Lots of bubbles.

"Well you talked about how wonderful having a bathtub would be. And we haven't' even tried it out yet. so. I'm trying it out." Brian said.

"And how do you feel?" Justin asked, mocking him.

"A little lesbionic." Brian answered, making Justin laugh. "Get in here and gay it up a bit will you?" Brian asked. Justin ripped off his clothes and climbed into the tub, sitting on Brian's lap, facing him. Brian ran his hands up and down Justin's back. "You look good in bubbles." Brian told him, making him laugh.

"Funny. I was thinking the same thing about you." Justin said as he leaned down and kissed him.

Later that night, after they had sex in the bathtub, then in the shower, because Brian wanted to wash off all the bubbles, and then three times in bed, they were just laying there. "So I think I'm going to try and quit smoking." Justin said randomly. Brian looked over at him and raised his eyebrows. "Cigarettes." Justin clarified. Brian chuckled.

"I would hate to think that you'd give up smoking pot. Who doesn't love the feeling of getting high." Brian joked. Justin smacked in chest.

"After we get back from the mystery honeymoon. I don't want to be struggling with craving cigarettes while I'm trying to have fun. How long are we going to be gone?" Justin asked. Brian rolled his eyes.

"Nice try. But I'm giving you no information whatsoever." Brian told him. Justin huffed.

"But how will I know what to pack if I don't know where we're going?" Justin asked, smiling at him.

"Well I guess you'll just have to trust me to do that then won't you?" Brian asked sarcastically, making Justin roll his eyes. "I've actually been thinking about something to." Brian said. The funny look that Justin had been giving him, melted away as he realized Brian was serious.

"About what?" Justin asked, turning to he could lay on his side and lean his head on his elbow. Brian still laid on his back.

"What would you think about asking Lindsay if Gus could spend more time over here?" Brian asked. Justin just stared at him. "You know, being more involved. Taking him and picking him up from school more. Having more of his things here, so we don't have to go across the street and get stuff for him. We could fix up that bathroom to be more Gus friendly so he doesn't always have to come in to ours." Brian said. Justin smiled.

"Why are you asking me? He's your son. I think it's a great idea. I'd love for you to be more involved. I'd love to be more involved in Gus' life." Justin said. Brian looked up at the ceiling.

"Well we're partners right. It's not just about me." Brian said, moving his eyes to look at him. Justin smiled again. Brian was trying so hard for him, not to just make decisions for their life. He was trying to make an effort, of having him be apart of every decision in their life. Justin loved it. He leaned forward and kissed him.

"I love that idea. I'm up for anything that means you get to spend more time with your son." Justin told him.

"Well...he's our son to. Isn't he?" Brian asked. Justin smiled one of his big sunshiny smiles.

"I still haven't gotten used to that." Justin said, and laid back on the bed like Brian. It was quiet for a few minutes before Brian spoke again.

"You want us to say our own vows don't you." Brian said. It wasn't a question. Justin took a deep breath.

"To be honest. Yes. I'd love that. But I know that it's hard for you. So I never was going to even say anything. I'm surprised Ben even asked about it." Justin said.

"It was the wine you were passing out tonight."

"That was some good wine." Justin laughed. Brian took a deep breath.

"I'll do it." Brian said. Justin looked over at him.

"What?" Justin asked as he turned and looked at him. "You'll say your own vows?" Justin asked.

"Yes."

"You'll write them all by yourself?"

"Yes."

"You're going to write a speech about how much I mean to you?"

"Yes."

"About how much you love me?"

"Yes."

"And say them in front of all of our family and friends?" Justin asked. Brian rolled his eyes and sat up.

"No I'm going to go say it to some hobo's on the street. Who else do you think I'm gonna say it to?" Brian demanded. Justin sat up with him.

"You'd do that for me? Even though it's going to make you super uncomfortable?" Justin asked. Brian rolled his eyes and laid back down in bed, still staring at the ceiling. Justin settled back down, but propped himself up on his elbow to look at him again.

"Years from now you're still going to be talking about whatever sappy garbage I come up with, and you're gonna get all lesbionic when you think about it...it's something that will make you happy. So what's the harm?" Brian said. He looked over at Justin, who was just smiling. "Besides. Every time you think about it, you'll get all lovey dovey and want to suck my cock and get fucked. So it's really helping me in the long run." Brian joked, making Justin laugh and jump on top of Brian and start kissing him.

"GRANDMA!" Gus yelled. Justin let go of his hand, and Gus went running for Teresa in the airport. She picked him up and swung him around. Justin turned to say goodbye to Lindsay.

"You'll call us as soon as you know the vote right?" Justin reminded her, and ran off.

"Are you ready for a fun birthday party?" Teresa asked. It was the first week in May. This was the month that Justin had been waiting for. His and Brian's wedding was on the 31st, which also happened to be Sam's birthday. But they moved her party to the first weekend in May, so everyone could go to their wedding. They had a noon flight, because Brian and Justin, who were still registered in Pennsylvania, went and voted that morning for the new Mayor, and to legalize gay marriages. Brian and Justin were taking Gus back to Boston, but Teresa was also going. Her parents were flying up the next day, along with some of Brian's aunts, uncles, and cousins. Teresa's family was extremely close to Sawyer's family, and some of them wanted to celebrate her birthday with her.

"Can we go yet?" Gus asked. Justin laughed as he caught up to him.

"We gotta wait for daddy. He's outside checking in the bags. Lindsay was a mess saying goodbye." Justin joked as he kissed Teresa's cheek. "We could have picked you up you know." Justin told her. She waved her hand.

"My brother Robert drove me. He left like two seconds ago. And you had to go vote. Luckily we get back in perfect time for me to vote." Teresa said. West Virginia had their state elections the following week, and on their election they were also voting to legalize gay marriages.

"I didn't have to go to school today, because I was getting on an airplane to visit Ali!" Gus cheered.

"Don't let auntie Sammy hear you say you're visiting Ali. She'll want to know it's all about her. Not Ali." Justin joked, with Teresa laughing and agreeing. Brian came up behind them.

"Alright Sonny boy. Let's get in line for security and blow this pop stand." Brian said. Gus laughed and jumped down. Brian leaned forward and kissed Teresa's cheek, and Gus grabbed her and Justin's hand and led them towards security. "Don't worry about me. I'll grab the carry on bags." Brian called out. Once they were on the plane and all settled in, Gus was telling them all a story about him and Memphis, with the three adults listening closely.

"I still can't get over how sweet he is." Teresa whispered to the boys. They were in a smaller airplane, with two seats on both sides. Brian was sitting next to Gus, with him by the window. Teresa and Justin were on the other side, with Teresa by the window.

"I'm surprised he even wanted me to sit next to him. He always chooses the rest of my family over me any day." Brian joked. Justin snorted and looked around.

"Hey you wanna be one of those annoying couples who hold their hands in the middle of the isle, and everyone has to say excuse me to get by." Justin joked. Brian just glared at him, while Justin and Teresa just laughed.

"I want to be an annoying couple with you daddy." Gus said. He climbed into Brian's lap and held his hand out, making Justin laugh and grab onto it.

"Thank you Gus. At least someone loves me." Justin said, eyeing Brian, who just rolled his eyes.

"Are you staying with us at grandpa's house tonight?" Gus asked Teresa.

"No I'm not Gussy. I'm going to stay your great grandparents. You'll be there tomorrow night with me though. And all your cousins." Teresa said, making Gus smile and his eyes widen.

"Are you and grandpa getting married?" Gus asked. Teresa looked over at him, then Justin. He was surprised he asked such a thing.

"Why would you ask me that?" Teresa asked.

"Because you both are my grandma and grandpa. Grandma Deb is with Horvath." Gus said, making them laugh. A few months ago, he heard Brian calling him that, and Gus decided to also. Lindsay tried to correct him, but Carl actually liked it. So Gus always called him Horvath. "And then grandma Jen has Tucker." Gus said, making Justin squish his face in distaste. "And then both of my...great grandparents." Gus looked over at Brian to see if he said that right. Brian nodded his head. "Well they have each other. So how come you aren't married to grandpa." Gus asked. Teresa looked at him for a minute, not sure of how to answer, but then she looked at Brian.

"Did you seriously ask your son to ask me that? Really?" Teresa asked. Justin looked over at him, and he was faking innocence

"Brian." Justin scolded.

"I wouldn't do such a thing. Gus is just an observant child. Aren't you Sonny boy." Brian said, smiling at Teresa.

"Excuse me." a women said who was trying to get by. Gus giggled as Justin let go.

"We're an annoying couple holding hands." Gus told her, making the woman laugh as she walked by to get to her seat.

"GRANDPA!" Gus yelled as he ran over to see Sawyer. Teresa ran over to hug Merideth who was standing next to him. "I've missed you so much grandpa." Gus said.

"I've missed you to kiddo." Sawyer said.

"How was your flight." Merideth asked them and hugged Justin and Brian, and then kissed Gus' cheek.

"It was good. No turbulence. Gus loves planes. He's really easily entertained on any flight." Justin joked.

"Oh you're so lucky. I'm dreading the plane rides for your wedding. Ali and Spencer are good. But Mackenzie and Zoey just get so bored. And Derek's kids are monsters." Merideth joked.

"Well let's your bags and blow this pop stand kiddo." Sawyer said. Gus gasped and looked at Brian.

"That's what daddy says." Gus said. Teresa went with Merideth, but the boys went with Sawyer. He was bringing them to his work first. To show them his office, but Justin and Teresa had already talked about it on the plane. He was bringing them in to show them off. His family. Justin sat in the back with Gus, but he could tell by the look on Sawyer's face, and hear it in his voice. He was so excited to bring them to his office. Justin had already been there before, when he came and met Sawyer. But Brian hadn't seen it yet. It was this amazing old Fire Station that he converted into his office.

"It's nice." Brian said from the outside. Sawyer held out his hand for Gus, and smiled. When they walked in, he had a receptionist desk sitting right there, and she smiled. She stood up and said hello to them.

"Andrea. This is my son Brian, his fiance Justin, and their son Gus. My grandson." Sawyer said proudly. He introduced them like that to everyone. Justin could tell Brian was a little uncomfortable with all the loving attention. But he was polite, and actually charming.

"Your office is nice." Brian said as he looked around the room. Brian looked at a long shelf that had picture frames all on it. Brian picked up the baby picture of himself that Sawyer and Teresa had kept.

"He told me that he never put it out before. He used to keep it in his desk drawer because he didn't want other people knowing he had a son, if he couldn't even tell his own brother and sisters. But he said since everyone knows, he has it displayed now." Justin said. Brian nodded. He looked down and wasn't to surprised to see some of Gus already. But he was surprised to see himself and Justin had made the shelf. He looked at some of the pictures. He hadn't realized in the few short months that since he met them, so many pictures had been taken of them. He held up the one taken from his and Justin's housewarming party. The one of them with Gus, Sawyer and Teresa.

"That's my favorite one." Sawyer said form behind them. Brian put it back and nodded his head.

"How many Ad agents do you have working here?" Justin asked.

"Ten. A few of them are amazing, and run everything here. That's why I can easily take off and visit my grandson all the time." Sawyer said, patting Gus' head.

"And the others?" Justin asked. Sawyer rolled his eyes.

"Two of them aren't that great. I'm thinking of downsizing a bit. They don't really meet the standards. Tried to take them under my wing but...I'd rather take my top three and let them run things. Get a few more people in here." Sawyer said. His secretary came in with something for Sawyer to sign, and Justin looked out into the hallway. He saw a guy who looked so familiar. Where had he seen him before? But then he realized it. He knew exactly where he saw that guy before.

"Marilyn!" Justin squeaked. They all looked at him. "Is there any way you could take Gus on a mini tour of something fun for ten minutes?" Justin asked. Brian gave him a weird look.

"I could...take him into the lounge. That client with the bakery dropped off a ton of stuff. Can he have a cupcake?" she asked the boys.

"Perfect." Justin said. Marilyn took Gus by the hand, leading him out, while Justin shut the door.

"What's the matter with you?" Brian asked.

"Kip Thomas." Justin told him. Brian raised his eyebrows and shook his head.

"Who?" Brian asked.

"How do you know Kip?" Sawyer asked.

"How do you never remember that name?" Justin demanded. Brian rolled his eyes.

"Who is he?" Brian asked.

"He's one of the guys on my Ad team. He's one of the two I was telling you that I'm thinking of getting rid of. He's tried, but he's just not that good. I actually have lost two accounts because I let him lead them. How do you know him?" Sawyer asked. Justin glared at Brian.

"What?" Brian snapped.

"He's the guy who you used to work with at Vanguard." Justin said. Justin said, moving his head, trying to get Brian to remember.

"I got nothing." Brian said.

"He filed that fucking sexual harassment suit against you." Justin snapped. Brian's eyes darkened.

"He did what?" Sawyer asked. Brian pinched the bridge of his nose.

"That stupid fucker wanted me to recommend him for a position that he wasn't good enough for. He thought since he blew me, that I'd do it. I said no, so he said I sexually harassed him." Brian ground out and sat down, covering his face with his hand. Justin noticed Sawyer's face was red.

"So what happened?" Sawyer asked. Brian laughed and took his hand away from his face.

"Ask the Avenger over here. He dropped the case, and I didn't know whY until a couple of months ago." Brian said. Justin just stood there. "Well tell my father what you did." Brian said. Justin could feel his face heat up as he turned to Sawyer.

"Well...I saw him at a bar and...picked him up. And we were...doing stuff." Justin said embarrassed by it. "And in the middle, I told him I was only 17 years old, and that my dad would have him arrested if he knew I was with him. So I made him a deal, that I wouldn't tell my dad...if he would drop the case against Brian." Justin said sheepishly.

"The gay Avenger." Brian grumbled. Sawyer nodded his head.

"Well. I've been waiting for a reason to fire his ass. I was gonna do it next week when I had more time. But now seems like a good time to do it." Sawyer said, walking towards the door.

"Wait you're going to fire him? With us right here?" Justin asked. Brian smiled and sat up.

"Oh I like this." Brian said. Sawyer swung the door open.

"THOMAS! GET YOUR ASS IN MY OFFICE!" Sawyer yelled. Justin's eyes widened. He had never heard him so pissed before. He walked back over to the shelf to lean on it, hiding his face. Kip came in.

"Is everything ok?" Kip asked. Sawyer shut the door and crossed his arms. He glared at him for a moment before he spoke.

"Have you met my son-in-law yet?" Sawyer asked. Kip was startled.

"Um. No sir." Kip said. Sawyer held out his hand towards Justin. Kip looked over and nodded. "Hi." Kip said. He didn't recognize Justin.

"Justin. His name is Justin. It was Justin Taylor, but it's Justin Kinney now." Sawyer said. He knew Kinney rang a bell with him. And he looked back over at Justin, and then realization dawned on his face. "And my son. Brian." Sawyer said, holding out his other arm. Kip slowly turned around, and Brian smiled and waved.

"Hey. Long time no see." Brian laughed. Justin groaned.

"Fuck." Kip said.

"Yeah. Fuck is right Thomas. I believe you know my son. Used to work with him in Pittsburgh. I heard you filed a sexual harassment case against my son a few years back." Sawyer said. Justin couldn't believe how intimidating this man could be. The day he met Teresa, she said he was an arrogant asshole. He couldn't see it. Now he could see, he was a lot like Brian in that way. He demanded respect. And could scare someone into doing it.

"With all do respect Mr. Lombardi, you just met them a few months ago-"

"Are you fucking saying I don't know anything about my son? Or his fiance?" Sawyer demanded. Kip's head whipped over to look at Justin.

"You both fucking set me up that night. Coming on to me, and saying what an asshole he is. And now you're fucking marrying that asshole?" Kip asked. Brian got up and stalked over to him, but Justin jumped and pushed him back.

"Brian stop it." Justin told him.

"You and I both know I didn't do a fucking thing to you. You wanted me to give you a job that you weren't ready for. I told you you have to earn it, just like everyone else. And guess what, I was right. Because you still suck. And not in the sucking dick kind of way, which you totally sucked at anyway." Brian told him.

"Were you even 17?" Kip asked. Justin turned around.

"That's the one thing that I didn't lie about that night. You wouldn't have gotten the promotion even if you'd won. No one there thought you were good enough." Justin informed him. Kip shook his head and scrubbed his face.

"I can't fucking believe this." Kip said.

"Well believe it. Because you're fired." Sawyer said. Kip turned around and stared at him. Brian and Justin looked at each other, eyes wide, and then turned to Sawyer.

"You can't be serious"

"Oh I'm very serious." Sawyer told him.

"You have no idea what ever happened. They're lying-"

"You're seriously going to insult my intelligence by telling me my son and son-in-law are lying?" Sawyer demanded.

"You can't just fire me because of this."

"Oh I can, and I am." Sawyer said. He walked over to his desk and pulled out a file and tossed it on the desk. "This is your file. I was preparing to let you go because of all the fuck ups. You've messed up countless times. I was gonna let you go with severance pay. But now, I'm canning your ass and you get nothing. Because you fucked with my kid." Sawyer said and pointed to the door. "Now get the fuck out." Sawyer said, raising his voice. Brian and Justin didn't move. They were to stunned. Kip looked over at the two of them.

"This is the second job I lost because of you Kinney." Kip said. But Brian just laughed.

"If you're that delusional that you actually believe that bull shit, you're more pathetic then I even thought. We all know that Brian fucked you, and you wanted him to move you up the ladder. And because he didn't do it, you thought you could now fuck him. Get him in trouble. But it didn't work. I saw you going into his loft, and I knew what happened between the two of you. He didn't harass you and we both know it. Once I saw you at Woodies, I knew exactly how to trick you. And look at that. You were dumb enough to fall for my pretty little blonde boy act. The jokes on you asshole. Not only did Brian fuck a sorry pathetic fag like yourself, but you fucked yourself out of a really amazing job. Twice." Justin said. Kip lunged at Justin, and missed when he threw a punch, but Justin didn't miss when he punched him. Kip went to strangle him, but Brian yanked Justin backwards as Sawyer got in the middle and shoved him away, making Kip fall on the floor

"GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE!" Sawyer screamed. The door opened, and a security guard came in. "Get this fuck face out of office Rodney." Sawyer said. Rodney leaned down and helped Kip up, who was trying to cover his face.

"You ever touch him again, I'll rip your fucking balls off." Brian said, referring to Justin. Rodney dragged Kip out, and Sawyer shut his door. Justin was holding his hand. "You ok?" Brian asked as he took his hand and looked at it, making Justin hiss. "Do you think you broke anything?" Brian asked. Justin just looked at him. "You do think you broke something." Brian said. He looked over at Sawyer.

"I'm sorry-" Brian tried to say, but Sawyer held his hand up.

"I didn't like him anyways." Sawyer said, and smiled at the two of them. Brian looked back at Justin who was protectively holding his hand.

"You wanna go to the hospital Sunshine?" Brian asked. Justin rolled his eyes. Brian put his arm around Justin's shoulder and kissed the top of his head, and he laid his head on Brian's shoulder. "Wanna take us to the hospital?" Brian asked Sawyer, who nodded his head.

"I better not have some fucking cast or brace on my hand during the wedding. I don't want something that ugly to ruin my damn pictures." Justin grumbled. Brian looked over at Sawyer, trying not to laugh.

"Come on Rocky. I'll get Derek to pick up Gus." Sawyer said.
