"What are we gonna do?" Justin worried aloud as he pulled on his jeans.
"First of all" Brian said sexily, wrapping his arms around Justin's waist "You're going to take these off" Justin chuckled as Brian's hands wove down and started to undo the button on his trousers.
"No" he said, batting the hands away "I only just put these on" Brian looked put out, so Justin kissed him quickly. "Besides, we need to get to the hospital to see if Gus and JR are there"
Justin felt Brian sigh in relief; no matter how hard he tries to put his care-free façade, Justin could always see through it. He really did care about his kids, and had been up half the night worrying about where they were. The fact Lindsey and Mel had actually died hadn't sunk in for him yet, nor had it sunk in for Justin either. They just had to focus on JR and Gus; Brian was the only family they had left.
"They won't mind if we're 5 minutes late" Brian murmured into his ear, gently nibbling on his earlobe
"5 minutes?" Justin scoffed "More like 20 by the time you're done; you're an old man now remember" He smiled jokingly "Now get dressed" he said, pressing a handful of clothes into Brian's very handsome chest.

"I'm sorry, we don't seem to have a Gus here, no a Jenny-Rebecca." The receptionist said kindly "When did they arrive?"
"Sometime during last night" Justin said, leaning into Brian, who had his arm around his partner's shoulders. "The same time as all the bombing victims"
"Yes well, they all deserved it really" she said, still not looking up from the computer, obviously not noticing the arm Brian had around Justin "How old were they? 15, 16?"
"Gus is 5, and Jenny-Rebecca is nearly 1" Justin said sharply, getting a bit annoyed with her.
"Ah, such a shame they got caught up in all the fags' nasty business, they should be in a nice Christian family. With a mom and a dad"
Brian by now was slightly pissed off with this woman "I'm a queer, I like cock. So what? You have a problem with me?" He said arrogantly in his usual style, Justin jabbed him in the ribs
She looked up and suddenly wrinkled her nose "The lord will not forgive you, you'll rot in hell. Those children should never have been given to you"
"Given?" Brian raised his eyebrows "My children are biologically mine I'll have you know, and I'd rather be queer than be a fucking hetero"
"Brian, that's enough" Justin said, smiling though. She deserved it.
"They're on the children's ward. Floor three" the woman said briskly, looking back down at her desk as Justin dragged Brian towards the elevator.
"Who the hell do they think they are?" Justin complained as soon as the doors slid shut
"The high and mighty Heterosexuals" He said, waving his hand royally, causing Justin to laugh. He leaned up and kissed Brian, weaving his hand into the brunette hair, softly conditioned to ensure his highness Brian Kinney looked his best.
The doors slid open again, revealing the two men kissing. A nurse cleared her throat in obvious distaste; Brian pulled away and smiled at her, before leaning in and kissing Justin once again on his lips.
Justin smiled at his boyfriend and laughed, it was Brian Kinney's arrogance and cockiness that made him all the more attractive.
"Come on" Justin said, grabbing Brian's hand and pulling him toward the door that was covered in animals and labelled 'The Children's Ward'.
"Oh god, my worst nightmare" Brian groaned as Justin dragged him reluctantly through the door; he hated places with lots of little kids, especially with sick little kids.
"Come on Brian, don't you want to see Gus and JR?" He laughed at Brian's expression. "It's not that bad"
There was a desk about halfway down the corridor with 6 or 7 nurses behind it, when they reached it Justin spoke again; he didn't trust Brian not to start insulting them, or start hitting on the hot male nurse.
"Hi there, can I help you?" a kind burse with blonde hair asked them, she looked down and noticed their interlocked hands but didn't comment on it.
"Yeah, we're looking for a little girl and a boy who may have been brought here last night" he said awkwardly, he had little information to tell them other than they were looking for two children.
"Ah may I ask what age they were?" she said as she went behind the desk and sat at one of the computers
"5 and nearly 1" Brian said, bored. "Look lady, we've already been through this downstairs with the delightful receptionist. Can you just tell us where they are already!"
Justin glared at him and mouthed 'shut up'; he was going to annoy this one as well if he wasn't careful.
"As I'm sure you can understand, we can't let just anybody walk in and claim a kid, we have to make sure they aren't mass murderers or something" she said sharply
"Sorry about him, he's just worried that's all" Justin apologised kindly to the woman, who had actually seemed nice.
"What relation would you be to the children?" The nurse asked them both.
"I'm their father" Brian got up from the little plastic chair he had sat down on and walked back over to his gorgeous Justin. He stood next to him and slyly squeezed his groin area with his hand, smiling as Justin stiffened suddenly, shocked. Justin glared at Brian and batted his hand away; they were on a children's ward for Christ's sake!
"Okay, this way then" she smiled stiffly. She led them further down the corridor and stopped in front of a door to a private room, the little whiteboard meant for the child's name was blank.
"Gus and Jenny-Rebecca" Brian said aloud; the nurse wondered if he was a tad crazy
"What?" she said politely.
"Gus and Jenny-Rebecca" he said again, but pointed to the board this time "Their names are Gus and JR"
The nurse smiled "Oh right, that'll make things easier." She pushed open the door gently, peeking in to see if they were asleep or not. She opened it wider when she saw they were awake.
She watched Gus's reaction carefully as he saw the two men; if the child recognised them then she would be satisfied they were telling the truth.
Gus hadn't noticed they were there, he was too busy playing with the toy car.
"Hey there sonny-boy" Brian said softly. The nurse noticed fondly how his whole demeanour changed when he saw the boy.
Gus looked up in surprise, then suddenly his whole face lit up like a Christmas tree
"DADDY!" he shouted gleefully, leaping up and running into his waiting arms. Brian held him tightly for a couple of minutes before balancing him on his hip
"Daddy, where's mommies?" he asked innocently "They didn't come when I called them"
The nurse was intrigued by the conversation that was unfolding, she had never had anything to do with the gay community until now. But when she saw the pain on his face at the mention of the 'mommies' she knew it wasn't good news. She had seen that face too many times working in a hospital.
"They're in heaven now" Justin said gently to the little boy
"Oh" he said, his little round lips falling
"Or hell, depending on your view" Brian interjected, very unhelpfully.
"Shush" Justin said, elbowing him
"But they're coming back" Gus smiled "Right?" he asked them
"No Sonny-boy, they aren't coming back" Brian said in his usual caring fashion.
Gus looked confused, but not sad. He didn't understand yet.
"You're not going anywhere daddy are you?" he said, working it out in his little child's brain
"No sonny-boy"
"Or you daddy Justin?" he asked
"No Gus, we'll be right here"
"Good" The little boy said, happy with this answer. He squirmed to be put down, and as usual, Brian caved into his every demand.
Brian wandered over to the metal crib bed in which lay Jenny-R and gently stroked her forehead. Justin followed him and wrapped his arms around Brian, resting his head gently on his shoulder, Brian lean his head on top of Justin's. Not wanting to miss out, Gus ran over and squeezed his way in between Brian and Justin.
The nurse smiled as she took in the scene; they were just like any normal family, why did every straight person think the obvious love in this room was wrong? Why should this family be split up just because the parent's are the same sex? There were some sick and twisted people in this world that were out to get families like this one. It was wrong.

Justin's P.O.V
"Mr Kinney, Mr Taylor" The doctor greeted us "I take it you're the parents"
"I'm the biological father of both of them, this is my partner Justin" I smiled as Brian introduced me as his partner, it never ceased to fill me with a warm and happy glow.
"Their mothers Lindsey, the biological mom and Mel died last night. But we have always been very involved in their lives, and Brian's parental rights are still in tact." I add, giving the doctor more information to work with.
"But you two will be taking them home. Am I right?" the doctor asked us
"Yes" Brian said confidently, surprising even me. I knew Brian's view on family life and it wasn't pleasant.
"Good. So I'm going to discharge them today, we only kept them in for observation last night. You can take them home as soon as you've spoken to the social worker, and provided proof of identity. Then we'll organise transport home for you" the doctor said as he scribbled down some notes on his clipboard.
"Great" I smiled as he left the room. I turned to face Brian; he pulled me towards him seductively, grinning at me as he traced my lips with his hand. I cupped his smooth masculine cheek in my hand and reached up to kiss him. His lips immediately moulded to mine and I felt his tongue trace my lips, asking for entry, which I gladly granted.

"You are the biological father Mr Kinney, as it states on the birth certificates. You work full time though" the social worker said as she scribbled down notes
"Yes, but it's my own business so my hours are flexible"
"Do you get enough money to support your children?" she asked
I let out a small laugh; make enough money? Brian earned way too much for 1 guy, he has well over 2 million locked away in a savings account, and much more in various other accounts.
"He's CEO and President of Kinnetik, he has millions in various accounts. Not to mention his prada jackets and Italian furniture" I tell her, smiling as she looked taken aback
"I'm also president and CEO of Babylon, the gay dance club that got blown up" Brian added in his usual taunting fashion.
"As long as you don't live there then that has nothing to do with my assessment." She said, smiling, well, it was more like a grimace. But then again, Brian was an acquired taste.
"Well" she said, gathering up her thing "I see no reason why you should not take home your children. Oh, and Mr Taylor?" she added
"Yeah" I replied, wondering what she was going to say
"You should apply for adoption of them, that way you'd have the same rights your partner does" she smiled at me, and half smiled at Brian as she left the room.
"Now, where were we?" Brian asked teasingly as soon as we were sure she was gone. He gently squeezed my crotch and smiled seductively as he watched me squirm, kissing me on the lips, our tongues battling for dominance.
Suddenly he pulled away; a serious look crossed his face. I was a bit worried; I hadn't seen this face before, apart from when he told m he loved me for the first time last night, a very special memory. I knew it took a lot for him to say that, hell, it took an explosion, but nevertheless he still said it…twice.
"Justin?" he asked slowly
"Hmmm?" I responded, kissing up and down his neck as he shivered lightly with the pleasure
"Will you marry me?"
I sat bolt upright in shock; he knows how I feel on marriage, and he knows not to joke about it.
"Are you serious?" I ask him slowly, not daring to believe it
"Yes, I love you Justin. . ?" he said, punctuating every word.
I knew what my answer would be, how could it be any different? I loved him more than words could ever say, and I had dreamed of getting married to him, but I never thought the day would come when Brian Kinney asked me to marry him. This past 24 hours have been the weirdest ever; one minute it's just me and Brian, the next we have 2 kids living with us, and I'm abut to be engaged!
I looked up into his eyes. "Why? What made you change your mind?" I needed to know this
He looked back at me with burning intensity
"I realised I would do anything, say anything, be anything to make the person I love happy." He said honestly, showing me for the first time what I knew was there; love, compassion, tenderness. He had just said probably the sweetest thing I have ever heard him say, and he had finally admitted to himself that it was okay to let someone into his heart, that I had no intentions of hurting him.
"Of course I will marry you Brian Kinney" I said, smiling up at my fiancée's gorgeous face. I kissed him deeply before pulling away and laughing.
"What?" he asked, bemused.
"I can't believe you just proposed to me in a hospital, on a children's ward, in a shrinks office!"
With that, he laughed along with me.
