Disclaimer: FAKE does belong to me and in April you can buy my manga series called 'The Story of Drake and JJ' and if I would be Pinocchio my nose would be as long as the Amazon.

Chapter 9

Marty reacted just like Ted, when he heard the news. The commissioner told them rather rudely, that he expected them to still work professional, even though they were going to get married. JJ got rather angry and was seriously thinking of not inviting Rose to their wedding, but Drake calmed him down.

The chief was the last person they told. To their surprise he reacted very calmly, like he was expecting it. He wished them lots of luck and happiness and told them he was waiting for an invitation. JJ and Drake left the office very confused.

"What happened to our chief? Was he kidnapped and replaced by a very bad actor or what?" JJ asked Drake.

"Dunno, but that was rather fishy. Why the hell was he so calm? Do you think Ryo and Dee already told him and he had time to ease up?" Drake wondered.

"Let's ask them" JJ said.

But as it turned out, Ryo and Dee didn't tell a soul. They were very surprised at smith's reaction, but shrugged it off. Maybe he was just having a good day.

The next hurdle to take was to tell the family. Drake was very scared about that and tried to find a way around it, but there was no arguing with JJ.

"I want to meet your parents and your sister. They should be at the wedding, don't you think? They know that you are seeing me, right?" he asked suspiciously.

"Yes, they know about us alright, but they don't like it all that much."

"They won't hate you. My parents don't like it that I'm gay either, but they've got to realise that there is nothing they can do about it. It's who I am. I hope they learn that soon."

"My sister, Samantha, thinks differently though. She's happy for me, because she sees that I've never been happier before. She doesn't care if I'm in love with a guy. I'd like to tell her first."

"Okay. Where does she live?"

"125 East 64th Street."

"We can go there right now, if you want."

"Okay. Might as well just get it over with."

When they arrived at their destination, Drake's courage had reached a low level again. JJ had to nearly drag him up to the 3rd floor. He rang the doorbell and waited. A man with brown hair and brown eyes opened the door.

"How can I help you?" he asked JJ. He then noticed Drake, who was trying to hide behind JJ, which failed terribly due to JJ's size.

"Drake?" the man asked "What are you doing here?"

"Hey, Todd. I'd like to talk with you and Sam." he answered quietly.

"Sure, come in. I haven't seen you in ages. Who is that?" Todd asked Drake, indicating JJ.

"That's my partner at the 27th, Jemmy J Adams."

"Oh…" Todd's reaction showed JJ, that he knew about them as well.

"Sam, Drake is here, with his 'friend'" Todd shouted inside the apartment. A woman came rushing towards them. She looked exactly like Drake. Her hair was blond and shoulder length and her eyes were the exact same grey as Drake's.

"Drake! It's nice for you to show your face again, bro. How are you?" she asked happily.

"Good. There is something I'd like to tell you guys. Can we sit down?" Drake asked.

"Sure. Oh hello JJ. Nice to finally meet you." She told JJ and shook his hand.

JJ was a little startled as she addressed him as JJ. Only his friends at the precinct called him so. Sam noticed his surprise and added "Drake told me a lot about you."

"He did?" JJ asked.

"Oh yes, he talked about you for hours grinning non-stop." Sam said smiling at Drake.

"You could see how much you mean to him." she added. Drake blushed slightly.

"Yeah right, so Sam can we sit down?"

"Oh yes, yes make yourself comfortable."

They all sat down on the couch and Drake started the conversation.

"So, you all heard of JJ before. This is Todd Marks, Sam's husband." he told JJ, introducing Todd. "Hello" they both said, shaking hands. JJ noticed Todd was looking at him curiously.

'Oh please not a homophobe' he thought pleadingly.

"We have big news." Drake told them, breathing deeply. "Me and JJ got engaged yesterday evening."

Sam, who was drinking some water, nearly choked, as she heard that. Todd stared at him shocked.

A/N: Ok, the next chapter should be up on Sunday. Maybe later or even earlier if I find the time. Feel free to review and tell me what you think so far. I'm open for comments.
