Story ------
.
Jared shifted on the bed for what seemed like the hundredth time in the past 2 hours. He had been tossing and turning ever since he had laid on the bed but nothing helped him. Tried every possible comfortable position he could with his huge stomach but no matter what, he couldn’t sleep. Not that he expected a sound full night’s sleep but he usually could grab a couple of hours or so early nap before Nathan starts to play soccer with his spleen. But this was unusual. Not even for a single second he could close his eyes and sleep. He turned again, this time towards Jensen and found his lover sleeping peacefully beside him. Jared sighed, he was tired enough to drop anywhere and fall asleep when he was in the car but as soon as he laid down on the bed, all traces of sleep were gone. He was still tired, but surprisingly not sleepy.
Sighing he pushed himself slowly in a sitting position with a pillow behind his back and waited for sleep to come. Fifteen minutes later with no signs of feeling sleepy, Jared huffed and gave up. There was no way he was getting any sleep this night. Beside him Jensen slept on, oblivious to the discomfort Jared was in and the younger man didn’t want to wake his lover up. Just because he couldn't sleep doesn’t mean Jensen has to give up on it either. Looking at clock Jared sighed again. It was only 1. It seemed that even Nathan was enjoying a peaceful sleep inside him. Jared’s eyes fell on the pictureon the night stand. It was of Ryan and Danny’s birthday-their 5th birthday. Both of them held the huge white decorated cake with 5 candles dancing on it and were smiling at the camera as Jensen had captured the moment. Jared took the picture in his hand and traced their faces with his thumb. His throat seemed to choke and he leaned back on the pillow, holding the picture over his belly. A few drops escaped his closed eyes as he bit his lip from making any noise.
He knew why he couldn't sleep. It was quiet. All too quiet in their house. Too quiet for his liking. There was no bath time, no water splashing, no bed time stories, no good night hugs and kisses and no nightmares to chase off. Reason? Well, there were no Ryan and Danny in the house to need those. Wiping the tears from his face, Jared put the picture back on its place and with some struggle climbed out of the bed without waking Jensen up. He picked up the picture again and waddled his way in the dark room and got out into the living room. Closing the door softly, he walked across the hall to the kids’ room, stopping in front of his unborn baby’s room. Nathan’s nursery was complete with the white crib, which Jared had done all by himself. The walls had the scene of ice, water and penguins with a tiny boy with spiky hair on one ice peak. A smile formed on Jared’s face at the strange walls. Both he and Jensen had asked the twins to choose the theme of their baby brother’s nursery and all hell broke loose. While Danny wanted penguins from Happy Feet, Ryan preferred The Incredibles! No matter how much the elders tried, the twins were rooted and refused to change their choice. That’s probably how ‘Dash’ had landed up on the land of ‘Mumble’. While Danny thought that Nathan’s kicks were like Mumble’s feet dance, Ryan wanted his baby brother to run like Dash.
Shaking his head, Jared smiled and closed the nursery door and went to the next room. The empty room of the twins. The small smile that was on his face disappeared, when he took on the empty beds and the tidy room. He stifled a sob as tears once again filled his eyes. Holding the picture of his babies tightly, Jared groaned, lowering himself on the rocking chair that was in between the twin beds. These last days of pregnancy were definitely not his favorite time, but what kept him going was that very soon he would meet his third son.
Taking another glance at the picture, Jared couldn't help but let out a muffled sob. He missed his babies, he missed them too much. He missed them running around the house, missed giving baths to them before bed, missed the water splashing games with them, missed reading stories or humming them to sleep, missed their whining for watching a little more TV, missed those puppy eyes and pouts, missed them talking hours after hours to their baby brother, missed their bantering…….everything. Looking at their picture with tear filled eyes; he thought why he agreed to Sophia’s offer in the first place. He knew Sophia was only trying to help and Chad and she insisted on the matter. Jared was due in only ten days and he was experiencing the Braxton Hicks or the false labor pains too often. His doctor, Calysta, had ordered him complete bed rest and to relax for the time being. But with the twins, both rest and relax were out of question. Although they never deliberately disturbed their Daddy, but they were kids and twins on top of that! They were bound to play and run around and fight. Moreover, they always got scared and worried, if Jared would get one of the false labor pains in front of them. So Chad and Sophia offered to babysit the twins for the weekend to give Jared a break and also to let him and Jensen spend some quality time together. The idea was good, and even though Jared hated to ship off his babies to Chad and Sophia, he was grateful to his friends for their offer. He thought it would be rather good. But clearly he was wrong.
“I miss you babies. Daddy misses you two so much” he whispered crying.
He was so engrossed in his thoughts that he didn’t hear Jensen coming to the room. He jumped when he felt a strong arm around his shoulder.
“Oh! Jeez, you scared me Jenny” he said wiping away the tears.
“What happened baby? Couldn’t sleep?” Jensen asked, squatting in front of him.
“I-I couldn’t sleep without them in the house Jenny! It’s too quiet and I miss them like hell” Jared sobbed, holding on to Jensen’s hand.
“Aww baby” Jensen murmured, getting up and engulfing his lover in a warm hug as he sat on the arm-rest.
“I miss them Jenny, I miss them so much. I will pick running after them all the time to this quiet house any day. And I can’t sleep like this. It’s like their laughter is missing from the house, it doesn’t seem to the same anymore without them.” He sobbed his heart out.
“I know baby. Shhhh….I know…I miss them too baby. I miss them too.” Jensen said softly in Jared’s hair, as he rocked the younger man slowly.
Jared nodded against his chest and sniffed.
“Jenny?” he asked looking up to Jensen’s eyes.
“What baby?” Jensen thumped the tears away from his lover’s face.
“Can we go get them now?” Jared asked hopefully.
Jensen smiled, “Babe, its 2:00 at night! Well technically morning, but still not the best time to visit friends. We’ll go in the morning and get them back together. Okay?”
Jared looked s little sad and pouted, but agreed murmuring a soft “Yeah okay”.
Jensen smiled and leaned in to kiss Jared on his soft lips. The younger man instantly kissed him back.
Breaking, Jensen kissed Jared’s nose and asked, “Wanna go for a drive?”
Jared groaned, “Jenny my back hurts”
“Oh common baby. Trust me you’ll feel much better if you come out of the house.” Jensen insisted.
“Jenny, my back hurts” Jared repeated “really bad” he added next.
“Yeah I know. I’ll make you feel all good. Promise. But common, let’s go out for a little ride. Clearly none of us are getting any sleep tonight. So why not drive around for a while, get some ice cream may be , something else if you want and then go get the pair of devil-angels?” Jensen offered.
Jared thought for a while. Granted his back was killing him but it’s been the same for weeks now and Jensen’s offer was delicious. Okay, may be the ice cream did the trick but if his lover could put up with his hormones for nine months, he could accept the little request too. And going out seemed alluring enough, so Jared smiled and nodded ‘yes’.
Grinning, Jensen helped his pregnant lover up from the rocking chair and into a warm jacket. Even wearing an over sized tee shirt, Jared’s abdomen peeked out from the clothing, and it was quite chilly outside, hence the jacket. Next he made Jared sit on the bed and put on the socks and slipped the shoes. Stepping back, he looked and was satisfied with his work. Jared was ready to go. Grabbing his own jacket and slipping his arms into it, Jensen took the car keys and helped Jared up and walk to the car.
He heard the younger man huff.
“Problem Jay?” he asked.
“I’m not invalid Jenny. I think I am quite capable of wearing my jacket and walking on my own” Jared huffed in annoyance.
Jensen smiled and kissed his lover’s cheek, “I know. But I don’t want you to tire yourself. And it’s only a matter of few more days , so suck it up baby and enjoy when I am mothering you” and with that he helped Jared into the passenger seat.
Jared winced shifting on the seat.
“Baby you alright?” Jensen asked worriedly.
The younger man sighed “Yeah Jenny I’m fine. Just can’t sit comfortably”, then smiled “and thanks, for mothering me.”
Jensen’s face lit up with a bright smile, “Anytime baby, anytime” he replied kissing his lover’s forehead and ran to the driver’s side and drove the car around.
The night roads were mostly deserted, save a few cars and trucks. The weather was perfect, chilly yet it felt soothing. With the windows rolled down, Jared leaned back on the seat and turned his face towards the passing trees and houses, as Jensen drove around. He closed his eyes and relaxed. It was peaceful but he desperately wanted the two little devil-angels of his to be in the backseat, bantering between themselves over some trivial thing.
The car suddenly stopped and Jared opened his eyes.
“Why did we stop Jenny?” he asked looking around.
Jensen smirked, “Someone was complaining about car rides?”
Jared rolled his eyes, “Shut up. I’m still not comfortable….but the air feels good.”
Jensen nodded, “The whole reason why I took you out. Now Ice cream time. What you want?”
Jared gave a goofy grin that instantly reminded Jensen of Danny and said, “Chocolate fudge ice cream with lemon sauce”
Jensen made a face, “Babe sorry to break it to you, but I don’t think THAT item is on any menu here”
Jared stuck his tongue out and crossed his hands over his chest. And Jensen could swear he saw a flash of Danny in there.
“At least get the ice cream for now” Jared told him after a while.
“Better. You wanna stay here or come out?” Jensen asked smiling.
“Oh God out.” Jared groaned and Jensen laughed as he got out and helped the younger man out.
Jensen made Jared sit on the hood of the car as he went to get the ice cream.
Fifteen minutes later he came back to find Jared walking the area.
“Hey!” Jensen called him “got your ice cream and something else”
Jared turned around and waddled towards him with a hand pressed firmly on his lower back.
“What new you got me?” he asked reaching Jensen.
“Ginger ale” Jensen flashed his teeth, knowing that Jared has gone crazy on the drink during his pregnancy.
“Oh Thank you Jenny, I was thinking of calling ya to tell ya that” Jared grinned and arched his back.
“Baby you wanna go back?” Jensen asked worriedly.
But to his surprise, Jared shook his head ‘no’.
“Don’t wanna go back to the empty house Jenny. I don’t like it there without them. Can we go somewhere else? Just the two of us? Watch the sunrise together?” he asked softly.
“Sure baby. Anything you say” Jensen smiled and helped Jared back to the car. It was already nearing dawn, when he pulled up in front of the river, a little away from the city but close enough. It was a secluded area, very calm and quiet and peaceful and has the perfect view, AND Jared loved the place.
The big grateful smile that Jared was wearing was enough for Jensen; he didn’t need any words to understand how happy his lover was.
Helping the heavily pregnant man out, Jensen helped him climb on the hood of their car. Settling Jared there, he got back to the backseat and took out a blanket from there. Walking back to his lover, he climbed the hood, positioning himself right behind Jared, in between his legs and wrapped the blanket around both of them. Jared leaned back on Jensen’s chest and sighed comfortably.
“Thank you Jenny” he murmured softly, snuggling.
Jensen kissed his temple and slipped his hands inside his lover’s shirt and rested them over Jared’s big warm belly.
“Nathan sleeping today” he said softly.
Jared nodded, “Guess what? Even he is sad and is missing his big brothers.” Then groaned again.
Jensen kissed him once more and moved his hands from his stomach to his hips, massaging the area and moving to his lower back, getting groans of pleasure from the younger man.
“Oooooh Jenny! Yeah ...yeah baby….right there…thank you sooo much ….God! What am I gonna do without you Jenny?” Jared moaned, closing his eyes, melting into the massage.
Jensen turned his face and kissed his lips, “You won’t be without me baby. I promise you that.”
Jared’s eyes filled with tears when Jensen promised him that. “I know hon…I know” he murmured kissing the older man.
Jensen leaned back some more, so that Jared could stretch out as much as possible.
“This better?” he asked rubbing circles on Jared’s tummy.
“It’s the best Jenny” Jared smiled back, tucking his head under Jensen’s chin.
He took out the ice cream tub and the spoon and started gorging on it and feeding Jensen at the same time. They sat quietly watching the first rays of sun falling and the soft wind blowing.
“You know Jenny?” Jared said very softly.
“What?” Jensen murmured kissing Jared’s forehead.
“I always loved the sunrise. The start of a brand new day, a bright new day in your life and I always love it. Gives me more confidence to face the future and above all these first rays of sun always makes me happy.” He whispered softly.
Jensen took in every word and felt himself falling in love with this man, father of his two kids and carrying his unborn child, all over again. His hands were still resting on Jared’s stomach, when he felt the movement and a sharp kick under his palm. From Jared’s wince he was confident that Nathan was up.
“You okay baby? Does it hurt bad?” Jensen asked rubbing circles on the spot.
Jared nodded, “I’m alright Jenny. Just sometimes it hurts. He has gotten really strong.” Then smiled, “Looks like my baby here too loves sunrise” and fondly caressed his stomach.
“He sure do baby” Jensen smiled back, capturing Jared’s lips with his own as the sun rose from the horizon.
New day…new start….new plans….gotta bring the kids back home.
The end.
