Comments are love!!!
This story is complete I will post 2-3 chapters at a time over the next week or so.
Chapter 6
Mikey's POV
I have no idea why I am here. This morning Justin called me, weird enough, and asked if I would like to join him and Brian for lunch at Alfredo's. The location should have been my first clue that it was something big. The last time Brian asked me to meet him at Alfredo's was to tell me he had gotten a promotion and was buying the loft. So here I sit with a Coke and basket of bread waiting. And then Mel and Lindz show up..now I know something big is coming.
“Hi girls, I didn't know you were coming. Any ideas about what is going on?” I ask.
“Not a fucking clue, but knowing Brian it’s something that will either mess with my life, inconvenience us all or tell us that Justin has finally come to his senses..” Mel says getting cut off by Brian.
“Why Mel I didn't realize you cared. And Justin has more sense than all of us put together. So shall we sit and order.” Brian smiles. “Come sit by me Sunshine”.
“Hello Justin. How is New York?” Lindz asks in her sickly sweet Waspy tone.
“New York is great, I have learned so much. I have an agent and commissions for at least the next 6 months at the rate Alix keeps taking them.” Justin smiles as he kisses the girls on the cheek. “Hiya Mikey. How are you?”
“Fine” I reply. I can't believe the twink is back...I thought for sure he'd go to NYC to stay.
Brian's POV
I am so dreading this lunch. I knew we should have just let Deb and Emmett do what they do best and run the broadcast of our news. But nooooo my steadfast partner-yes partner- just can't shake the little Country Club boy within, “Brian they are family, we have to tell them in person. They deserve to know from us not the gay party line that originates at the Diner.” Justin is right I know but it doesn't make me feel any better-maybe that is the nausea which unlike the doc said would end after the third month I am still regularly afflicted by.
“So what is everyone having today?” the waiter asks.
“I'll have the lasagna and a house salad and a Pellegrino with lemon.” I order while the others consider their menus. “oh and more bread and oil”
“Geez Brian are you eating for yourself and Justin?” Mel observes.
“Why no Melanie I am not. But thank you for your concern I know it is from the heart. Justin why don't you order.” I suggest giving Mel no time to snark back.
“I'll have the same please.” Justin smiles.
After the girls have ordered and the salads and bread have been delivered the wait has finally taken its toll on Mikey. I knew it was coming and had in fact bet Justin that Mikey wouldn't make it past the salad before he began hinting for information.
“Briaan I can't take it anymore! Why are we here? What is wrong? Are you sick? Has the twink finally moved on and this is good bye?” Mikey whines.
“Yeah Mikey that's right I am leaving Brian, that’s why his hand is in my lap, we are sitting together and he can't seem to keep his eyes off me.” Justin says calmly. I know it’s killing him waiting to share the news.
Drama queen. And I'm the hormonal one?
“Oh sweetie, of course we don't think that, really Michael what is wrong with you? Go ahead and tell us what it is you want to say.” Lindsey of course takes this as her chance to be the “mommy”.
The food arrives and we talk a little about Gus, New York, Justin's agent and what the three of them have been doing lately. Finally after the dishes are cleared I turn a little in my chair to face the “firing squad” and because my peanut has set up housekeeping on my bladder.
“I have to say I am very impressed that you have been able to hold out this long. Justin and I do indeed have some news for you. “ I say with a twinkle in my eye. “Justin, would you like to begin?”
“Why thank you Brian I would love to...where should I begin? Oh yes. I am moving home and Brian and I are going to live at Britin.” he says with a smile on his face that is fast becoming an evil grin as he adds “ After the baby is born of course.”
And that is when Mikey fainted, Lindsey burst into tears and Mel was speechless. Ever the problem solver Justin asked the waiter for 3 shots of Beam, a coffee and more ice for my water. When they arrived he placed the Beam in front of Lindz, Mel and Mikey. Handed Lindsey a handful of tissue, put a wet napkin on Mikey's head and waved his hand in front of Mel's face.
“Well.....that went well. Was the last part too much” Justin asked sweetly.
“No its better to just rip the bandage off and deal with the aftermath. I think you did very well.” I leaned in for a kiss and twined our fingers together on the table.
“Gentlemen would you like some dessert?” the waiter asks innocently.
“I would love a cannoli please. How about you dear?” Justin asks.
“How about some ricotta cheesecake with strawberries.” I say liking my lips.
Justins POV
I know it was evil to tell them that way but it was so worth it for the look on their faces, most of the family didn't believed Brian and I would stay together once I moved and only Emmett had actually stayed in touch with me, e-mailing every week or so. So I think I was less than tactful simply because I wanted them to know we were together.
“What do you mean baby?” Mikey screeched.
“Mikey can you please act like a grown up we are in public” Brian said between mouthfuls of dessert. “Mmmmm this is so good, I could get used to this kinda food.”
“Babe what about and I quote ' I am not going to gain a lot of weight'? Keep it up an I won't be the only bubble butt in the family.” Justin teases.
“Brian, what does he mean by that why would you gain weight.” Lindsey asks. And then it dawns on Melanie.
“Holy shit~~ Brian is PREGNANT!!!!” she almost falls out of her seat laughing.
“Melanie how could you be so silly, Brian can't be pregnant......You let the twink fuck you!!!!” Michael says in shock.
“Of course I did. Not only is it the closest I will ever get to perfection but have you seen his package??”Brian grins.
Lindsey is speechless but I can tell she is finally putting it all together. I have always appreciated how Lindsey accepted me into the family and how she has supported me in my art, recovery and career. But there has always been something about how she looks at Brian that tells me she would move into my life if she could, sadly I think Mel sees the same thing.
“Baby, Justin I am so happy for you!!! Brian congratulations. I think this is a great thing for both of you.” Mel smiles and kisses us both on the cheek. “Brian I have watched you with Gus lately and you really are a good father, Gus and this new baby are lucky to have you.”
“Thank you Melanie, but I think Gus, 'peanut' and I are lucky to have Justin. Without him I would never have gotten to know Gus or seen that I can do the whole partner and family thing.” Brian says and kisses me softly.
Lindsey has yet to speak, but at least she is not rocking back and forth anymore. When she finally comes out of it she drinks her shot, stands up, kisses Brian on the cheek and walks out of the restaurant without a word to any of us.
“I think that is my cue.” Mel says and begins to stand up.
“No, Mel let her be. This is a lot for her to deal with- she finally knows her dream of a happy hetero life is dead.” Brian says sadly watching his friend sit down on a bench.
“I know you're right Brian but it still hurts to see her that way.” Mel says. “It's not like I didn't know about her 'day dream', sometimes it hurt me to know I am the runner up. But lately I have been much more confident in our relationship.”
“Mel you never had anything to worry about from me.” Brian says softly.
“Brian I admit it I was threatened by you, and then when Lindsey wanted you to be Gus' father it just made me feel worse. But then you met Justin, and I saw how you looked at him. It may have taken me some time to get out of the habit of feeling threatened but I finally get it.” Mel said smiling at Brian and I. “ Justin, thank you for coming into our lives. Brian and Gus are not the only ones who are lucky. Someday other people in the family will see that too” she adds with a glance in Mikey's direction before moving over to Lindsey.
I watch her walk away and look at Brian. He looks so happy and sad at the same time. He is watching Mikey and waiting for him to process everything he has heard this afternoon. I need to move around a little bit so I stand up, stretch and begin to rub Brian's neck and shoulders.
“Justin...Congratulations.”Michael says and shakes my hand. “I'll call you later Brian.”
“Thanks Michael” I say slowly.
“Later Mikey. Be happy for me Mikey. I am.” Brian says quietly while he hugs his best friend.
“Lets go home Brian. They just need some time with this, to process it and re-work their image of you.” I say and offer him my hand as we walk back to the loft.
Chapter 7
Emmett’s POV
I cannot even begin to express how happy I am for Brian and Justin. I always knew they would end up together once Brian got his head out of his ass. But in the 3 years since he met Justin Brian has grown so much. I suppose I have always known there was more to Brian than meets the eye, simply because I have not been his best friend since 8th grade, I don’t want to be him, have his sex life (mine is just fabulous thank you) and I don’t want to settle down and raise a family with him. All I want is for Brian and Justin to be happy. And they are.
I think of Brian as a friend, a good friend, he helped me out when I first moved to Pittsburgh. He suggested I apply for the job at Torso and introduced me to the people I needed to know to get into the better places. He even suggested I call Michael about the apartment after my psycho neighbor burned my place down. And sometimes I think aside from Justin I see the real Brian better than anyone else. I have always seen him as more than just the Stud of Liberty Ave. or the man leading little Mikey on or as the selfish asshole.
As for Justin, well I love the boy! How could you not? He is beautiful inside and out, brave, smart, funny and has the skills of a lion tamer. Justin is the man who tamed the untamable without breaking Brian’s spirit. Justin knows how to give Brian what he needs while letting him live his life. Justin is the perfect partner for him. They are going to be excellent parents. I just never imagined Brian as, what did Justin call him? The baby mama’. I have to admit I am looking forward to the next 6 months. The baby shower, baby shopping, Brian’s mood swings, Justin has already sent me a text about the color scheme of the nursery. I just hope things went as well with Michael and the girls as they did with Jen, Deb, Daphne and I.
Justin- the loft
Brian and I walked home from our lunch in near silence. I knew he needed time to think about how his best friends reacted to the news. We were both expecting Lindsey and Michael to be surprised, but I don’t think we were expecting the fainting and blank stares. The bright spot was Mel’s reaction, I think Brian was truly touched that she was so happy for us and so in tune with what Lindsey was feeling. I can’t even begin to imagine how Mel has lived with Lindsey’s ‘day dream Brian’.
When we got back to the loft I suggested Brian take a nap, the emotional stress added to the baby knocked him out pretty quickly. As Brian napped I sat watching him sleep on the couch as the last rays of sun washed over his beautiful features, his shirt pulled up exposing his little baby bump just calling out to be drawn. I grabbed my sketch pad and did the thing I love to do most in the world- sketch Brian.
“What are you doing?” Brian asked through a yawn, stretching his long arms toward me.
“I am making the first page of our baby book” I said without looking up from the page.
“Lemme see”
“Not until its finished” I say with a small smile in his direction. “I hope I didn’t wake you. You looked so peaceful and radiant I just had to draw you.”
“Not at all. Sketch away. Soon I will not be allowing any photo’s or images of any kind. I already feel like I have gained 20 pounds!” he said standing in front of the mirror looking at himself in profile.
I walk up behind him and wrap my arms around his waist so my hands rest over his on this belly. “Baby you are amazing, beautiful and all mine. You have not gained more than 16 pounds, in fact the doctor said you should gain more weight. So we get to eat Justin style for awhile.” Yes, I am so loving this. “I thought I’d make as dinner tonight, maybe beef stroganoff with egg noodles?”
“Sounds great but how about a shower first?” Brian asks as he pulls his shirt over his head and walks toward the bedroom.
“Right behind you.” I call as I put the meat back in the fridge.
Brian’s POV
I would be lying if I didn’t say I was upset by how Mikey and Lindsey reacted to our news, but I kind of expected that they would not take it well. Mel surprised me, but if truth be told I don’t actually hate Mel, we are very much alike and I admire her a great deal. I know she has felt threatened by me in the past, but we sat down not too long ago at Woody’s and had a nice long talk about a lot of things. A conversation we chose not to share with anyone else. During our chat she talked about her resenting me for having a place in Lindsey’s heart, one should be occupied by Mel. Melanie and I agreed to disagree about many things but we also know that we are more friends than enemies now, and that the reason we snark so much is less to hurt and more for the challenge.
When we got back to the loft all I wanted to do was sleep, Justin knew it and sent me to the couch. I knew as soon as I closed my eyes that he would be sketching me, I like to complain about it but I love that he can spend hours just sketching me or anything for that matter. It wasn’t long ago that he was learning how to hold a pencil again.
Justin is getting ready to start dinner, and I am going to take a shower. I know full well dinner is going to be put back in the fridge for an hour or so as soon as I mention the shower.
Now we are in the shower, and Justin is washing my back and caressing the muscles of my shoulders and moving to my lower back. If would be so sexy if I wasn’t actually sore and stiff, between the stress of today and the changes my body is going through my back always hurts. So I am loving that Justin is washing me in a non-sexual way right now.
“Mmmmmm….a little lower please.” I groan leaning forward alittle more.
“Brian any lower and I am going to need to be on my knees.” Justin jokes as he moves his hand down my back.
“Ok”
“Turn around, your back is done.” he says as he turns me around, coming face to face with my very erect cock.
“I guess you enjoyed the back rub?” he said with a wink, giving the head a little kiss.
“Yes I did. Continue.” And he did.
Slowly licking me from tip to base and then sucking on each of my balls, before working his way back up to the tip and taking me into his mouth inch by inch and then pulling back only to take in more of me on the down stroke. When I finally hit the back of his throat he swallows around my cock and starts to do that humming thing. I dig my hands into his hair and just let him take me where he wants to. When I finally cum, with a gasp and thrust down his throat it takes all of my energy not to slid down the shower wall. He doesn’t allow me to reciprocate so we finish our shower quickly.
We get out of the shower and head for the bedroom to get dressed, nothing fancy tee shirts and sweats. Justin heads to the kitchen and I open up my lap top, I have some research to do and want to e-mail Ted and Cynthia about setting up a child care center for the Kinnetik staff. Oh shit….
“Justin did we tell Ted about the peanut?” I call from my desk.
“No, but I just assumed he knew because he works with you and knows our schedule. Does Cynthia know?” he calls back.
“I think I have a couple of calls to make…is there enough for 2 more?” I ask picking up my cell phone.
The phone rings once and then I hear Cynthia.
“Hello.”
“Hi, Cyn are you up for some dinner tonight? The loft 7pm. Bring Ted.” I say and hang up.
Dinner goes well, Justin is a great cook. Ted and Cynthia take the news well and agree that it is a good business decision to have an in house child care center. Ted begins the number crunching and Cynthia researching what has to happen for it to be in place by the time Justin and I have the baby. Cynthia has a hard time hiding her excitement and Ted his shock and awe all over his face, I catch him sneaking peeks at my belly all evening.
“Theodore…come here please.” I call from the bedroom
“Yes Brian” he says as he walks in to the room and see’s my shirt pushed up.
“Now that you have had your curiosity satisfied can we get on with dinner?” I ask.
“Sorry Brian. It’s just tough to wrap my head around it.” He says softly.
“Tell me about it Ted” I smile and guide him back onto the living room.
Once Ted and Cynthia leave Justin and I settle down for a talk, to put the events of the day in order. He always knows when I need to talk and when to just wrap his arms around me. And so we settle on the couch, me resting my head on his lap as he runs his fingers through my hair, just being quiet with each other. When it seems like I am going to fall asleep he shifts so we are sitting up and he can rest his hand on my belly, where he begins to run small circles. I love it when he does that.
“Baby, do you want to talk about today?” he asks and then waits.
“I wish they could just be happy for us.” I say sadly, “I have always tried to make sure they were happy. And even when I hated the people they chose I always let them have their lives. Why is it so hard for them to just say ‘Brian I’m happy for you guys’?”
He takes in a deep breath, leans forward and kisses me on the forehead.
“I wish I knew what to say to make it better Brian. They are your oldest friends and should want you to be happy. But both Michael and Lindsey have very unrealistic views of you. One wants you to be the husband she will never have and the other doesn’t know whether he worships you or should let you go.”
He exhales and runs a hand through his hair before he continues.
“Brian they need to deal with this on their own. Melanie will do what she can with Lindsey and it is great that the two of you finally understand one another. Mikey is another story. Maybe Vic can talk some sense into him?”
I know he is right and that all I can do is let my two oldest friends see how happy Justin and I are about being together and the baby.
“Lets go to bed” I say and stand up. “Tomorrow we see the doctor and maybe we’ll find out if we have a Justine or Brian Jr.”

I knew as soon as I closed my eyes that he would be sketching me, I like to complain about it but I love that he can spend hours just sketching me or anything for that matter. It wasn’t long ago that he was learning how to hold a pencil again.
Justin is getting ready to start dinner, and I am going to take a shower. I know full well dinner is going to be put back in the fridge for an hour or so as soon as I mention the shower.
Now we are in the shower, and Justin is washing my back and caressing the muscles of my shoulders and moving to my lower back. If would be so sexy if I wasn’t actually sore and stiff, between the stress of today and the changes my body is going through my back always hurts. So I am loving that Justin is washing me in a non-sexual way right now.
“Mmmmmm….a little lower please.” I groan leaning forward alittle more.
“Brian any lower and I am going to need to be on my knees.” Justin jokes as he moves his hand down my back.
“Ok”
“Turn around, your back is done.” he says as he turns me around, coming face to face with my very erect cock.
“I guess you enjoyed the back rub?” he said with a wink, giving the head a little kiss.
“Yes I did. Continue.” And he did.
Slowly licking me from tip to base and then sucking on each of my balls, before working his way back up to the tip and taking me into his mouth inch by inch and then pulling back only to take in more of me on the down stroke. When I finally hit the back of his throat he swallows around my cock and starts to do that humming thing. I dig my hands into his hair and just let him take me where he wants to. When I finally cum, with a gasp and thrust down his throat it takes all of my energy not to slid down the shower wall. He doesn’t allow me to reciprocate so we finish our shower quickly.
We get out of the shower and head for the bedroom to get dressed, nothing fancy tee shirts and sweats. Justin heads to the kitchen and I open up my lap top, I have some research to do and want to e-mail Ted and Cynthia about setting up a child care center for the Kinnetik staff. Oh shit….
“Justin did we tell Ted about the peanut?” I call from my desk.
“No, but I just assumed he knew because he works with you and knows our schedule. Does Cynthia know?” he calls back.
“I think I have a couple of calls to make…is there enough for 2 more?” I ask picking up my cell phone.
The phone rings once and then I hear Cynthia.
“Hello.”
“Hi, Cyn are you up for some dinner tonight? The loft 7pm. Bring Ted.” I say and hang up.
Dinner goes well, Justin is a great cook. Ted and Cynthia take the news well and agree that it is a good business decision to have an in house child care center. Ted begins the number crunching and Cynthia researching what has to happen for it to be in place by the time Justin and I have the baby. Cynthia has a hard time hiding her excitement and Ted his shock and awe all over his face, I catch him sneaking peeks at my belly all evening.
“Theodore…come here please.” I call from the bedroom
“Yes Brian” he says as he walks in to the room and see’s my shirt pushed up.
“Now that you have had your curiosity satisfied can we get on with dinner?” I ask.
“Sorry Brian. It’s just tough to wrap my head around it.” He says softly.
“Tell me about it Ted” I smile and guide him back onto the living room.
Once Ted and Cynthia leave Justin and I settle down for a talk, to put the events of the day in order. He always knows when I need to talk and when to just wrap his arms around me. And so we settle on the couch, me resting my head on his lap as he runs his fingers through my hair, just being quiet with each other. When it seems like I am going to fall asleep he shifts so we are sitting up and he can rest his hand on my belly, where he begins to run small circles. I love it when he does that.
“Baby, do you want to talk about today?” he asks and then waits.
“I wish they could just be happy for us.” I say sadly, “I have always tried to make sure they were happy. And even when I hated the people they chose I always let them have their lives. Why is it so hard for them to just say ‘Brian I’m happy for you guys’?”
He takes in a deep breath, leans forward and kisses me on the forehead.
“I wish I knew what to say to make it better Brian. They are your oldest friends and should want you to be happy. But both Michael and Lindsey have very unrealistic views of you. One wants you to be the husband she will never have and the other doesn’t know whether he worships you or should let you go.”
He exhales and runs a hand through his hair before he continues.
“Brian they need to deal with this on their own. Melanie will do what she can with Lindsey and it is great that the two of you finally understand one another. Mikey is another story. Maybe Vic can talk some sense into him?”
I know he is right and that all I can do is let my two oldest friends see how happy Justin and I are about being together and the baby.
“Lets go to bed” I say and stand up. “Tomorrow we see the doctor and maybe we’ll find out if we have a Justine or Brian Jr.”
