Love's Will

Chapter IV

Mission Birthday Party

That night, Zane couldn't sleep. It felt like a foreign place to him, because he didn't have Syrus sleeping next to him in his rightful place. Zane sighed and leaned against the wall of the bed, turning on the TV.

It was so silent, not having Syrus here. Usually, Syrus was all happy and bouncing around everywhere, making the place seem really loud but yet happy. Zane had to smile at Syrus, but it just wasn't the same without him.

But Zane knew he had to let Syrus think things over first. Like what did he want to do? It was indeed the mother's decision if they wanted to keep the baby or not, he couldn't get in the way if Syrus wanted to get an abortion. He would respect Syrus' wishes, no matter what they were.

He loved seeing the look on Chazz's face when he threatened Jaden. "Take care of him, or I will personally kill you." When he had said that to Jaden, he could've sworn he saw a vein trying to break free, wanting to attack him. He chuckled. Chazz was indeed protective of Jaden, that much was clear.

He flicked through the channels, although nothing appeared to be on. He sighed and leaned back some more onto the bed, breathing in Syrus' scent which was still on the pillow he had used that night. "Sy…"

It was silent at the Princeton mansion. Chazz, Jaden and Syrus were eating supper and watching the Tv. One of Atticus' music videos were on, but they weren't paying much attention to it.

A sigh was heard from Syrus, and Jaden looked over at his friend. The blunette had been awfully depressed all day…he knew he was thinking of what he was going to do about the baby, and Jaden hoped he wouldn't do anything that would jeopardize his and Zane's relationship. But that was Syrus' decision to make, and his alone.

Syrus was done eating first and without speaking he put his dishes away and walked to his room. Jaden sighed heavily, making Chazz look up at him.

"Hey, you alright?" he asked worriedly.

Jaden nodded. "But I don't think Syrus is…maybe there's something we can do to cheer him up…"

Chazz looked at the calendar. "Hey, his birthday's in two days. This Friday."

Jaden blinked. "Hey that's an idea. We can try and get everyone to come over for a surprise party."

"But what about…" Chazz trailed off.

Jaden nodded. "I dunno… we'll think about him later. Maybe it will make Syrus happy."

Chazz nodded but didn't look convinced. But they were going to go through with it anyway.

Mission Surprise Party was now commencing.

Syrus sighed and buried his face in the pillow. What should he do? He had no idea what he should do. He wanted to keep the baby, but if Zane didn't want it… he was also scared about the birth itself, bringing the baby into the world. What would happen?

A tired sigh escaped the blunette as he looked out the window. Dark and cloudy. Like my mind, he thought to himself. Oh well... my birthday's something to look forward to... right? At least I hope it is.

The blunette placed his hands on his stomach and sighed once again. He seemed to do that a lot lately. Oh well.

He missed Zane terribly, but still didn't want to see him until he had come to terms with what he was going to do about the pregnancy, only because of what Zane might do. Zane could get a little harsh sometimes…

A few minutes later, Syrus fell asleep, his head on the pillow and remote control for the TV in his hand, with the TV itself on but not very loud.

This was how Jaden found him a few hours later. Chuckling softly, he walked over quietly and tucked the blunette in bed, turning off the TV and walking out to go to his and Chazz's shared room.

Chazz was already fast asleep. Jaden smiled and crawled into bed beside him and wrapped his arms around him. Chazz yawned in his sleep, but didn't wake up.

Jaden sighed and hugged Chazz to him as he too, fell into sleep with a smile on his face.

He would make Syrus happy again. He just had to.
