Two lovers survey their daughter at the front of the room; they came for her third grade class. It was bring your father to work day. The fireman, little Jon Miller's dad, was just wrapping up. The two loved being there, they loved being alive and being with their daughter, and they just loved being there.

"Diana Gordon, bring up your father "the teacher Mrs. Marx called out. When a young 8 year old Diana got up so did the two men from the back.

"These" Diana was saying "Are my fathers. She motioned to the two men walking up to her, they where a cute couple in most peoples standards. But when the adults got a look at who was coming up, they got a little prejudiced.

What are two of them doing here? They all had the same thought. The children where not uncomfortable, they knew why two of them got up, they knew about Diana and her two dads, they just watched and waited for Diana to speak again.

"My daddy's name is Lawrence Gordon and he is a doctor" little Diana motioned to the dirty blonde one in the blue argyle sweater vest. He was about 6, 4 and had a slight limp, his eyes where blue and where warm and caring. The other one was shorter with brown hair and brown eyes; his eyes where warm too but some how rougher and more sad. He had on black jeans and a white shirt with a leather coat and a camera hanging around his neck. "Adam is the other one", Diana was saying "his name is Adam Faulkner and he met my daddy a couple of years ago, they got to know each other and they got married". One of the new little boys raised his hand and asked a question.

"Where is your mommy?" he didn't know any better and was just curious but so was everyone else. Mrs. Marx scolded him but she didn't tell her not to answer the question she just prompted Diana to go on. Diana's eyes grew dark. She didn't look so little now, she was remembering the night her daddy was taken and when she and her mommy where held at gunpoint. And she was remembering when her daddy was found without his foot. And she saw how her mommy looked right before the car accident that claimed her life and landed Diana in the hospital along with her daddy and Adam. "She is gone" was all Diana would say to the class say. In her mind those three words summarized all that had happened. The sadness and pain that haunted her dreams came back.

"How did your daddies meet?" Jon Miller asked. Diana Gordon didn't want to answer that, she knew what a sensitive subject this was to all three of them. The almost fatal game that all three of them where involved in just stuck in her mind.

She looked to her father for confirmation, when he nodded yes, she continued. "They met during a jigsaw game." She said what she had always said and the class would have been content with that except for the persistence Jon showed.

"I thought that jigsaws where puzzles" Jon stated. Adam and Lawrence tightened their grips on the arm rests of their individual chairs when Diana sighed and geared herself up for the heartbreaking truth that was begging to be told.

"Not this one" she started "it wasn't a board game or a puzzle" she went white as she started the real explanation. She knew it was too late to stop so she went on "it was jigsaws game, their game, and mine" she pointed to her fathers and then herself.

All of the adults where flooded with memories of the stories on the news, about the infamous jigsaw killer. And the gruesome deaths they faced. They knew all about each and every one of the victims that where found. Who knew what had happened to the rest. They remembered the few that survived, any ounce of prejudice dried up when they realized who these two men where. They where instantly flooded with respect for the two lovers who survived the terrible games. They sat and listened to the rest of the story. The bell rang for the end of class and the thoughts where lost in the clamor to go home.

Lawrence got out of the chair, closely followed by Adam. He approached his daughter and finally spoke to her. "Diana honey" Lawrence was saying to her "we are going to go home, but we will see you after you get home from school" he hugged his young daughter and he and his husband left to go home.

That night Lawrence had a dream; it was after they both had been found. Lawrence had been too late to save Adam, or so he thought. Adam had found his way out of the bathroom and had crawled into the street. Adam had been very weak when he was saved; He had stayed in the bathroom for two days and was completely delirious. He had not remembered how he got there or how he escaped. So the location to the bathroom remained a mystery. Lawrence had been talking to Adam in the hospital after he was found when he heard the nurse say Diana and Allison Gordon and fatal car crash.

Lawrence woke with a start; he looked beside him at his 8 year old daughter. She was screaming about Allison. Ever since the day of the jigsaw game, she had been having nightmares. She would not sleep alone. Lawrence looked over at Adam who was just as awake as he was and just as white as his daughter. Together they comforted Diana and tried to get back to sleep but it was useless, none of them could. They had all been plagued by their individual nightmares. Adam carried Diana into the living room when she finally wanted to watch TV. In silence they watched rugrats with Diana.

"Daddy" Diana finally turned to Lawrence and began to speak, "how did you and Adam fall in love" Adam, who had been napping beside Lawrence, woke with a start. Lawrence was just a surprised as Adam when he heard this. His daughter was curious and he wanted to tell her the details but he couldn't. The pain of that day was fresh in his mind, the day he lost the normalcy he shrouded himself in and the day he found his wife dead but it was also a good day, it was also the day he met the love of his life and the only man to understand him better than he understood himself.

"Diana" Adam looked on while Lawrence was explaining "that was a hard time for me, and when I had met Adam" just then he grabbed Adam's hand in his own and pulled Adam towards himself. "The day I met Adam I knew I was in love, and although things could have been different, I know I would never wish this away with all of my heart. I love you" he then grabbed Diana and gave her a bear hug. "I love you to little girl". Diana smiled at Lawrence and he knew that what he said was absolutely true, he had the two loves of his live in his arms. He would have it no other way.

"Lawrence" Adam hesitated, "do you really love me" he then turned over in the bed that they where lying in with each other. "I know that all of this happened and that would be strong enough to fake love for a while. But…"

"Yes Adam, Lawrence interrupted "I love you. I always have, I always will, nothing could fake this, nothing at all" Adam felt relieved. The prospect of having Lawrence for the rest of his life made him happy, Excited even. He would not ever let Larry go. Ever
