Hey so thought I have had this idea in my head for a while so figured it was about time i tried to write it down :) Please review and let me know if its something I should continue with, also will be updating my other story this week, hopefully :)

Ste's Pov

"Stephen, For god sake how many cases are ya bringing, were only going for a week" I hear him shout from the small living room of my flat.

" I have to be prepared Bren, Anyway most of it belongs to the kids " I shout back still busy packing my own suitcase .

I cant really believe that this is actually happening and I guess in some ways im stalling, Waiting for Brendan to freak out and say that hes changed his mind and hes not coming to florida with me and the kids anymore. I zip up my case and drag it into the small living room. When I see him I cant help but thing how absolutely gorgeous he looks, finally wearing something that isnt a suit. The casual look really suits him, but I guess he looks good in pretty much everything.

" We all set now?"

" Yeah Declan took the kids out to strap them into the car so ill just throw that in the boot and were ready to go "

" You sure your ready for this Bren" I ask walking close to him and wrapping my arms around his waist. I can feel him tense up and look around to ensure that Declan cant see but then he relax's.

"Yeah, Gotta do it sometime"

He had promised me that he would tell Declan that me and him were more than just mates as soon as we landed in Florida but a small part of me thinks that it will never happen. I guess ill just have to wait and see.

" It'll be fine, Bren. I promise you"

He just grunted in response so I leaned up and kissed him. It soon became very passionate as we both got lost in the moment, but after about 20 seconds Brendan pulled away and looked down smiling at me

" Come on lets get going, or were gunna miss that plane and have 3 very upset kiddies on our hands"

Declans POV

Did that just happen. Did I really see what I think I just saw. My dad and his " mate" Ste. All loved up and kissing and talking about telling me my dad is GAY. I now sat quietly in the car with Ste's two kids sitting either side of me both gone fast asleep as it was pretty early and they should probably still be in bed. I watched my dad and ste as they came out of the flat, dad dragging one of Ste's many suitcases out to the car for him. It looked like Ste was talking a mile a minute while Dad just smiled contentedly.

They both sat in the front of the car and Ste thanked me for looking after the kids while he was busy " packing". I felt like saying making out with my dad more like, but couldnt bring myself to actually bring i up. So I decided that I would observe. See how they behaved around each other. Try get a sense of whether this boy would be what would make my Dad happy. I never really remember seeing him truly happy. Sure he was a great dad and would always take great joy in looking after me and Paraic but the more I thought about it he always seemed greatly unhappy. I had always assumed thats the reason he cheated on my mum so many times, and eventually left us to live in England and make a whole new life for himself.

It was a rather silent car journey to the airport. I knew why I was quiet so I only assumed Dad and ste were being careful not to wake the kids. When we arrived at the airport myself, Ste and the kids got out of the car and took the cases while Dad went to park his car. I pushed the trolly with all the cases on while Ste held one child in each arm and we set off to find the check in desk.

" So ya looking forward to Florida Declan " He asked me.

I found myself a bit unsure of what to reply. I was no longer ridiculously excited about Disneyland, Now I was just plain curious as to how the whole holiday would pan out.

" Yeah course, I've always wanted to go there. Used to bug Dad about bringing me all the time when I was younger."

Ste just laughed at that and then said " I bet your little brother will be ragin he missed this."

I had to agree, Paraic would be well jealous that I got to go to Disneyland with Dad, but thats what he gets for wanting to stay back in Ireland just so he could hang out with his little friends for the summer.

After some more small talk my dad eventually rejoined us and we all checked in and got our boarding passes. By the time we got through to the duty free shopping area of the airport Ste's kids were fully awake and incredibly excited about their first time on a plane and Disneyland. And they let everyone know about it, running around the shops screaming at the top of their lungs about seeing Mickey Mouse. Me being a teenager was far too cool to do such a thing, but i have to admit, despite recent revelations, I was incredibly excited for disneyland. It had always been a childhood dream, but i guess Dad was always to busy "working". Well I guess i know what he was really up to now i thought to myself.

I distanced myself slightly from our little group given the bad looks Ste and his kids were getting from the disgruntled passengers who obviously thought it was far too early for such carry on. I took this as a perfect opportunity to observe my dad and ste to try and figure out just how serious things were between them.

While watching I began to realise that infact they did not come across as a couple at all, good mates at most but that was it. They didnt touch, they didnt kiss or hold hands, and as far as I could see they didnt really do much talking. It was all about looks i quickly realised. Every few seconds either my dad or ste would look at the other and almost like a reflex the other would in turn look. This was usually followed by a small, almost shy smile between the two of them before they went back to rangling up the kids.

After a few moments my Dad eventually caught Lucas in his arms and got him to calm down by promising to buy him loads of sweets for the plane.

Ste tutted at this muttering " Ye, that'll make the other passengers love us even more"

" Who cares what they think Stephen" Dad replied rather dicrectly, and for once i think i understood the double meaning.

And so Lucas became completely attatched to my Dad wrapping his arms right around his neck and telling him how he wanted to get a picture with "Bwendan and me and woody" from toy story.

" What about your Da little man? Dont ya want a picture with him? "

" Ye, me you and Daddy " came his little excited reply.

Eventually the time came for us to board our plane and the kids once again hit the roof. Ste carried Leah in his arms while Dad still held Lucas in his, looking slightly like he was regretting the amount of sweets he had bought for the two kids. Personally I didnt mind but seen as they had their hands full I was left to carry all the shopping bags and carry on luggage.

We got a few annoyed looks as we boarded the plane, and quite a few curious ones. I guess we did look like quite the odd group of people to be going on a family holiday to Disneyland. I wondered if other people assumed Dad and Ste were gay together and if we were their kids, although I couldnt be Ste's Kid. Unless he had me when he was like 8 or something. I think my Dad noticed a few of the looks too. The smile on his face was gone and it looked like he wanted only one thing, to get to his seat and out of the line of sight of a plane full of passengers.

We all got to our seats and it went me sitting beside the window; Lucas at his insistence beside me with Dad on his other side and then Ste and Leah sitting on the row across from us. Dad reached out and squeezed my shoulder, guess it still showed that I was rater " Uncomfortable " flying.

" Ya'll be alright son "

" Yeah I know, thanks Dad. "

" I love you Deccy, hope you always now that, no matter what happens "

" Shut up" I replied smiling at him, but was actually really glad to hear him say it.

The flight was actually rather uneventful, after the initial excitement of take off the kids soon calmed down, Lucas became completely engrossed in the movie they were playing after Dad had bought him a headset for the tv. I played my DS and for most of the flight Dad and Ste entertained Leah by playing sherades and cards with her until she eventually fell asleep. She was soon joined by Ste, who was i guess pretty worn out with all the running around after his Kids.

I slyly observed Dad for a little while as he just sat staring at Ste with a massive dopey grin on his face. He was happy, that much was blatantly obvious. But I still wondered if this was something that would last or if Ste and my Dad were some phase he was going through. I mean to have me and Paraic that means my Dad definitely slept with my Ma at least twice. And if he was gay why would he even marry her in the first place. It didnt make any sense. And so I spent the rest of the flight wondering exactly what revalations this holiday would have instore, and if I was going to be stuck on babysitting duty while Dad and Ste were off being loved up.

Sorry complete shit I know, i think i changed writing style like ten times throughout but just had to get the idea out of my head. Please let me know what you think and if you would like me to continue. XX
