AN: June/July 2011

Brian and Justin watched the coffin being lowered into the ground.

"I'll be back later" Brian said kissing Justin on the lips and walked to his own car.

Justin sighed opening his door to the SUV watching Brian's back.

Justin put his keys on the side table and shut the door behind him. Brian assured him that he needed to get back to work. "Papa" Gus shouted running down the stairs "Help me Papa I'm being eaten by a monster" he giggled running into his legs.

Freddie followed closely behind.

Justin put his hand on Gus's shoulder "Are you?" he played along "I hope you didn't leave Freddie behind"

"I'm here Uncle Justin" he waved.

Justin smiled as Lindsey stood at the top of the stairs "hey how's the F-u-n-e-r-a-l" she spelt out as she came down the stairs.

Gus rolled his eyes "Mom I can spell I'm not a baby" he stated.

Lindsey hugged him and growled "I know Pumpkin, now why don't you take Freddie to the kitchen and I'll be in soon" she said. Gus and Freddie did as they were told once they were out of ear shot she spoke "where's Brian?" she asked.

Justin pursed his lips "he said he left to go back to work" he shrugged "I don't if that's code for something else or other but we both know he wasn't close to his mother" he explained.

Lindsey raised both eyebrows and shrugged "we definitely know that" she said walking through to the kitchen.

Justin hung his coat up before following them into the kitchen, he opened the fridge and took a bottle of water and leaned back on the counter.

Justin pushed himself off and walked up the stairs and stood at the open door of the nursery and smiled. He walked along the landing, his phone rung he took it out of his back pocket "Hello" he answered.

The background was silent before he heard a breath "Justin can you come and pick me up?" he said.

Justin frowned "Brian" he said "where are you?" he asked. There was a scuffle on the phone and the phone hit the floor "Brian, what's happened?"

"Justin" a woman's voice said.

"Natalie" he walked back down the hall "is he okay?" he asked.

"Yeah he turned up half an hour ago" he explained "free of alcohol" she stated.

Justin sighed walking down the stairs "I'll be there in 45 minutes I don't know how the traffic is?" he stated he walked into the kitchen. "How is everything?" he asked.

Natalie laughed "I'm fine and so is the baby just get here" he explained "Brian's drifting off to sleep"

Justin shook his head "he was up all night with Gus that's why he's falling asleep like an old man"

"I heard that" Brian's voice came from the background.

Justin laughed "speak to you soon" he said ending the call. He turned to Lindsey "I have to go and get Brian from Natalie's, I'll be back in an hour or so" he stated.

Lindsey waved "See you soon" she said as he walked out of the kitchen and the door slammed behind him. Lindsey shook her head "what is your dad like?"

Gus looked up from his peanut butter sandwich and shrugged.

Justin turned the engine off and got out of the car locking it behind him. He rubbed his nose while he walked up to the door he put his own key in the lock. He walked in "Nat" he called as he shut the door behind him.

Natalie poked her head from the sitting room "Hi Justin, we're in here"

Justin shook his head and walked over to her. He looked into the room Brian was sitting on the sofa with his head back "He's asleep." Justin yawned.

"Let's go in the kitchen" Natalie walked over to the fridge "do you want some tea?" she asked.

Justin nodded.

Natalie opened the fridge for some milk she turned round with her hand on her belly "Oh"

Justin walked round "what's wrong?" he asked taking the milk from her hands.

Natalie patted Justin's hand "ever since helping you and Brian I have had so much time on my hands to see more of my kids."

Justin blinked hard "once I came out I never thought I would have kids" he explained.

Brian walked in rubbing at his eye, Justin looked up "sleeping beauty is awake" he jibed. Brian gave him a squinting look as he walked round the kitchen area.

Natalie said pulling a sonogram picture from her back pocket "say hello to your baby Girl or Boy" she said.

Brian opened his eyes with a few blinks to wake him up.

Justin's eyes widened "It took"

"First try too" Natalie nodded.

"Shit" Justin exclaimed.

Brian laughed "Justin Taylor-Kinney ladies and baby"

Justin tapped him on the arm "not funny" he glared at him. Justin took it from her hand "when did you find out?" he asked.

Natalie smiled "this morning" she said "Lindsey was with me" she added.

Justin nodded "that was why she was grinning so much this morning when she came to the house, I thought it was because she had a change in her medication" he laughed.

"What the hell are we going to do if we have a girl" he raised his eyebrow.

"We'll have Natalie. I'm sure looking raising a girl won't be that bad" Justin licked his lip, he looked back down at the picture "How many pictures did you get?"

"That's the only one and that's yours" Natalie said looking down "I've got the picture in here" she said pointing at her head, mentioning to her photographic memory.

Justin nodded "now it seems real" he stated.

JR ran up towards to the climbing frame "Hunter come play" she called. She waved towards Hunter as he sat back on the bench at the park with his phone in one hand.

Hunter looked up from his phone "In a minute kid" he said looking back at his phone.

JR had her hand on her hip "Hunter Daddy and Papa told you to play with me" she stomped her foot.

Hunter looked up and rolled his eyes "Jeez why did I agree to babysit so they could fuck" he whispered and stood up. "Damn kid you'll be a great nagging wife in the future"

JR smirked and put her foot on the climbing frame using her other hand to stand on the pole "now Hunter you'll be monster and I'll be the beautiful princess that kills you" she explained climbing up some more. She waved her hand to the slide "wait at the bottom and I'll slide down and chop you in half"

Hunter sighed and walked over to the climbing frame's slide.

"Look daddy it's JR" Gus voice said running over to the park.

Brian followed behind "slow down" he said.

Gus stopped and turned round "daddy why you so slow" he exclaimed.

Brian sighed "just go" he said. Gus ran through the park's gate Brian put his hand in his pocket and walked in "oh look it's the boy wonder I see Michael has dumped JR onto you, what a surprise"

Hunter rolled his eyes "for your information their having a lunch" he said using his index and middle finger for air quotes.

Brian smiled "Nice" he said walking to the bench wiping it down with his hand and sitting "aren't you supposed be the watching her" he said

Hunter turned "oh for the love of god" he exclaimed round the frame as JR was crouching down next to a bird "JR don't touch that"

JR looked up "But Hunter he's hurt"

Hunter took her hand "that's its own fault for getting hurt" he said pulling her away from it "come on I'll push you on the swings" he said. JR huffed and walked past Brian who laughed as she looked back over at the bird.

Hunter glared at Brian as he put JR on the swing "how high do you want to go?" he asked.

JR pouted at him.

"For god sake" Hunter exasperated walking back over to the bird, he picked a stick from the floor and poked it "get up" he said.

The bird chirped at him.

Hunter poked it again "I did not sign up for this"

Brian laughed as Gus walked over to JR "I'll push you JR while Hunter rescues the bird" he said dramatically. Brian closed his eyes and shook his head as Gus smirked once he started to push her.

"Okay" she grinned sitting further back on the swing.

Ben laid on his side with his head leaning on his arm. Michael laid next to him, Ben bit his bottom lip as he watched Michael breath in and out "is it just me or are you getting grey hair" Ben smiled.

Michael shot up in the bed the sheet pooling to his waist "where" he said getting out of bed the sheet falling off his naked body. He stood in front of the mirror "Ben" he exclaimed. Ben laughed and buried his face in the pillow. Michael jumped back in bed "You did that on purpose" Michael stated.

Ben nodded looking up at Michael as he kissed him on the lips "it was easy" he smiled.

Michael kneeled on the bed "I got to get up, I won't make money staying in bed all day fucking my handsome husband" he grinned kissing him on the lips and reaching over to the side table to take a sip of water "And I'm meeting JR to pick up Hunter"

Ben grabbed the back of his neck "don't you mean meet Hunter for JR"

Michael nodded kissing him again and pulled away "no I meant what I said, JR is probably looking after Hunter" he grinned standing from the bed and walked into the bathroom.

Ben shook his head throwing back the sheet and following him.

They stood side by side at the sink as Michael brushed his teeth, Ben licked Michael's chest from the falling toothpaste "do you mind?"

Ben shook his head "you're just messy" he stated sliding the cabinet open to take each of their medications "here" he handed a tablet to him. Michael took it spitting his toothpaste out and swallowed the tablet.

"I have a few papers to grade then I'll meet you for lunch"

Michael nodded shutting the cabinet once Ben swallowed his own medication and put the bottle back "Okay" he kissed Ben before walking back into the bedroom to get towel's.

Once Ben finished his brushing his own teeth he joined Michael in the shower. Taking the shampoo from the side he washed Michael's hair, he kissed the back of Michael's neck. Michael handed Ben the shower gel to wash himself while he rinsed his hair out.

Michael looked over his shoulder "is that the shower gel or are you just happy to see me?" he smiled.

Ben laughed kissing the back of his neck again "would you be disappointed if it was the shower gel?" he asked.

Michael turned round kissing him on the lips winding his arms round his shoulder "I'm not sure but why don't I find out?" he said letting go of his neck and knelt down.

Ben raised his eyebrow.

Michael smirked as he looked up.

Emmett buttoned his jacket, as he stood in-front of the mirror he grabbed his phone and work keys and turned to the bed. Calvin was sitting up reading an auto-biography of 'Harvey Spector, Lawyer extraordinaire' he peeked over it once he finished the page "You off?" he asked.

Emmett nodded "I'm going to the diner first to get lunch, you goanna come with me?"

Calvin put his bookmark in the middle of page "yeah just let me get dressed" Calvin said putting the book on the side table and getting out of bed.

Emmett whistled as he walked out of the door "you have 10 minutes" he stated "You want a cup of coffee?" he yelled.

"Yeah"

Emmet walked across the apartment his dad came out of the other door "Morning Dad" he greeted, turning the machine on. "I'm making coffee at the moment do you want one?" he asked. His dad shook his head "Me and Calvin are going to have lunch you coming?" he asked.

"No I don't want to cramp your style I'm watching a documentary at 11am about Guns"

Emmett raised an eyebrow "Okay dad" he said he looked out of the window "but it's a nice day don't you want to sit out in the sun"

His dad shook his head "I'm old, I shrivel up in the sun" he stated.

Emmett nodded "okay Dad but you can't stay in all the time you need to exercise" he explained "well I'm off once Calvin finishes getting dressed" he said.

Emmett's dad waved and walked back into his room.

Emmett sighed as he poured the coffee, a second later Calvin walked into the kitchen area fully dressed. He took the cup from Emmett and took a sip "isn't your dad going to come"

Emmett shook his head "No"
