Enjolras/Grantiare
In the pursuit of Happiness...
Avent Enjolras and Montaine Grantiare, a gay couple who have devoted their time to their son, Harvey Gavroche Enjolras, packed up everything in their tiny, studio apartment on main street in Paris, France. Enjolras(As his friends call him) checked the time nervously and began shuffling the plane tickets in his hands.
"R! Come on! We're going to miss our plane!" He urged from the door, ready to grab Harvey and leave his fiancé in the room alone if he didn't hurry up.
"Relax Mon Cher, we will get there with plenty of time to spare."
"If we are late and miss our plane there for making us miss meeting Harley, I will castrate you." The blonde warned his brunette lover.
"First, off. We will not be meeting Liberty. You will be meeting her mother. Do I really need to remind you of a plan you thought would give us a better chance of getting her? My love, you have lost it." The former drunk teased. Montaine grabbed his young, four-year old son and handed him to his "Dada", though the blonde toddler fussed and wanted his "Daddy" as he called his fathers. Avent opened his mouth to say something, but all that was heard was a knock on the door from behind him. He spun around as if on instinct and opened the door. There, Azelma Montparnasse, their babysitter and Grantiare's best friend, stood, with her 2 children. Her 5 month old daughter, Sage Lucia Montparnasse, and her 5 month old son, Ranier Lance Montparnasse. Their father Aurélien Montparnasse, an ex con, stood behind her, his left hand over hers on the stroller. Behind them, were their friends, Elliot Coufeyrac and Jean Prouviare. The others were in various countries.
"We're here to help you move!" They all said in unison as the bounded through the door. The young adults picked up boxes and had them in the moving van as fast as you could blink, and soon, it was Avent holding his Harvey and Montaine waiting in the car, ready to leave. The 26-year-old looked around the apartment. The home they had made. The first place they had seen Harvey in, as their child. he wondered if this was the right thing to do. All Harvey has ever known was France. Or "Patria" as his fathers refered to it as. He knew it was the right decision for their unborn daughter, Liberty Patria. Who was residing in her biological mother in New York city. Was it right for him? Was it right for Montaine? He didn't know.
Azelma walked back into the room. She put her hand on his shoulder and looked at him. He turned around to see her.
"Everythings going to work out E. Dont worry about it. Besides, we'll call you everynight. You wont miss a thing and if everything goes right, you and R will be back in a few years with Harvey and Liberty."
"I know 'Zelma. Thanks, for everything. We'll miss you guys."
Avent walked out of the apartment, turning off the lights as the door closed. He walked down the stairs, and exited the building. There, he found Montaine and Harvey in the car, singing to Journey. Montaine teaching Harvey how to play an air guitar. Little did the 26-year-olds know, New York, was a new kind of crazy. And life was about to get a lot harder.
La Fin.
