Walking back to the cabin with Henry, after the trip to the Dirt bike track, Brian was anxious to chat.
"That was so much fun, you have to come down to design and help build one for us."
Laughing Henry glanced over at him. "Do you think that Justin will let you build one?"
Wiggling his eyebrows Brian spoke. "I have my special ways of persuading him."
Chuckling Henry clapped him on the back. "See, that's why I like you, funny and honest."
As they walked in through the door of the cabin, they saw Justin and the kids playing pick up sticks in the middle of the main room.
Gus and Jenny leapt up and ran over to greet them both with a huge hugs.
Gus looked up at them smiling. He asked his Dad.
"Did you and Great-granddad have fun?"
"We did! I got to ride a Quad bike and a Dirt bike."
Gus gasped. "That sounds so cool. I wish that I could do that."
Henry ruffled his great grandson's hair.
"When you are a bit older; I will buy you a junior bike with all the safety gear, of course, so don't worry Dads. Then you can ride on the small track. OK?"
Gus's eyes widened as he responded. "Really, when I'm older, thank you so much." Gus finished by hugging Henry tight.
Looking at Brian and Justin who were still laughing at the don't worry Dads comment Henry spoke softly.
"Don't worry! It will be very safe. I wouldn't have mentioned it otherwise."
Brian and Justin shared a look and smiled; Justin moved closer to his Granddad.
"Don't you worry, we know that and thank you. We know when Gus is old enough he will love it."
Henry then looked down at Jenny as her big beautiful eyes looked up at him.
"I'll do the very same for you when you are old enough but until then we will all go horseback riding. Would that be OK with you?"
Nodding and giggling in delight she joined Gus & Henry in the hug whispering.
"Thank you great-granddad".
Clearing his throat while hugging them back Henry reminded everyone.
"I need to head back to the house and get ready. We will be leaving at about six, so that we can have dinner before the Karaoke starts, we will pick you up then."
Sharing goodbye hugs with them he headed out listening to Brian start to tell Justin all about his adventures at the track.
"Justin we have to build a dirt track. It's so much fun and we have the space up at the far field. It's far enough from the house that we won't hear the noise and neither will the neighbours, they can even come use it."
Laughing Justin placed his hand on Brian's chest.
"Brian, slow down, we can get Granddad to help with the plans. We will need to find out what permits we need, get health and safety and planning permission and if the neighbours think it's OK."
Kissing Brian's lips Justin asked. "Is that plan, OK?"
Nodding Brian smiled, kissing Justin once more.
"Yeah, that's a very good plan. Lets go get ready."
Shaking his head, Brian confessed. "I still can't believe that I agreed to go to this."
"Neither can I but it will be fun."
Turning to Gus and Jenny, Justin announced.
"Come on time to get dressed up for our night out."
Gus and Jenny ran up the stairs determined to get ready and pick out the nicest clothes they could.
Brian and Justin followed them with amused smiles on their faces.
While Justin headed right to the bathroom because nature called, Brian paused in the doorway of the children's room.
"Would you like any help getting ready?"
Gus shook his head smiling.
"That's OK dad, I can help Jenny pick out her clothes and close the buttons and zips for her. Jenny will help me pick out my clothes, won't you Jenny?"
Nodding Jenny replied. "Yeah, I will make him look beautiful Uncle Brian."
Tickling her ear Brian, smiled warmly at her.
"I know you will and you will look very beautiful too."
Just before leaving Brian placed a kiss on his son's forehead, looking into his eyes he said.
"You are such a great boy and an even better son. I'm very proud of you."
Feeling good inside after hearing his dads words Gus tugged on his dad's hand that was in his.
"And you are the best dad in the world and I'm proud to be your son. I really love you Dad.'
Hugging Gus tightly as tears of joy and love glistened in his eyes, Brian whispered.
"Love you too Sonnyboy."
Brian pulled Jenny into the hug. "I love you too little girl."
Justin came out of the bathroom just as Brian came into the room, seeing his eyes were shiny with tears Justin became worried. Rushing to Brian's side placing a hand on his arm he anxiously asked.
"Brian what's wrong? Did something happen?"
Shaking his head and clearing his throat Brian answered.
"Nothing is wrong. Gus just told me that I'm the best dad in the world and he is proud of me. Me? Why would he be proud of me, what the hell did I do for him to say that?"
Sitting on the end of the bed side by side, Justin took Brian's hand in his.
"You're kidding right? You do everything for him, you're the reason he is even alive. Everyday you make him feel loved and you tell him you love him. Even though those words are hard for you to say, you say them to him with such amazing love in your voice."
Rubbing his face with his hand and letting out a breath Brian looked at Justin.
"It's easy with him, when I look at him or think of him my heart swells with joy and love for him."
Bumping shoulders playfully with him Justin continued.
"There you go, that is why he feels the way he does. Take his words and feel them, let yourself feel loved and happy for him."
Kissing Justin on the lips which started turning hot and deep they pulled apart, touching foreheads as they tried to regain their breath.
"Justin, we better get ready or your grandparents might see more of us than they bargained for."
Laughing now, Justin pecked Brian's lips once more. "Yeah maybe you are right."
Gus looked at Jenny's clothes in the drawers and picked out a beautiful pair of leggings that were navy with pink hearts dotted around them and a beautiful pink top to match. Her little ankle boots fitted so well with what she was wearing which she loved. Twirling around in a circle before hugging her brother.
"Thank you for helping me! I feel so pretty."
Blushing slightly Gus replied. "You are pretty Jenny. What should I wear?".
Making her way over to Gus's clothes Jenny picked out a pair of Jeans and a red top. Handing them over she said. "These will look good, you will look like your dads."
Once they were ready Gus and Jenny made their way downstairs and sat chatting on the couch waiting for their dads and uncles to come downstairs.
Jenny giggled. "They might be doing kissy stuff up there."
Gus covered his mouth and laughed. "They are always doing kissy stuff."
Justin watched in the mirror as Brian zippeds up his jeans and pulled on a deep burgundy top that made him look even hotter than usual.
Catching Justin's eye in the mirror Brian snickered.
"Shouldn't you put that top that you are holding or are you going in just your pants and shoes?"
Shaking his head and laughing as a pink tinge coloured his cheeks, Justin licked his lips.
"No, I was just watching a very good show first, now that it's over I can finished getting dressed."
Moving to stand behind him and placing his hands on Justin's hips Brian pulling him close. "And what show was that?" he whispered in his ear.
Leaning his head back against Brian's shoulder Justin smiled as he said.
"It's one of the best shows that I've ever seen and it's made just for me. I never get tired of watching it!"
Kissing the side of Justin's neck. A smiling Brian told him.
"I'm very happy and excited that you approve."
Turning in his embrace Justin looked into his eyes pecking his lips. "I'll show you just how much I approve later on"; he finished with a loving kiss.
Jenny looked over to the stairs when she heard her uncles coming down laughing and teasing each other as they did. Tapping Gus on the arm as she pointed out.
"See Gus, you do look beautiful just like your daddy".
Gus beamed with pride after she said that, he saw that his dad was wearing almost the same clothes as he was. That made him feel so good.
Justin sweep both the kids into a hug.
"You both look really great. We are going to have so much fun tonight."
A knock on the door signalled that Henry and Mary had arrived to collect them.
Gus looked up at dad asking, "Dad, can I answer the door please?.
Nodding Brian smiled.
"Sure, and what do we say before you open the door, even if you know who is out there?"
Gus put on his best serious face as he replied. "Hello who is there please?"
Happy with the answer; Brian then asked.
"And then when you open the door how do you greet them?"
Grinning Gus responded.
"Okey Dokey Karaoke, and then sometimes; Pull up your socks I'm opening the door."
He finished laughing.
Laughing Brian signalled for him to go open the door.
Henry and Mary found the greeting from Gus at the door very funny as they swept both kids up into a hug.
Ruffling Gus's hair Henry asked.
"Where did you learn to answer the door like that?"
Bumping shoulders with Mary he continued.
"We will have to use that sometime because it's brilliant."
Smiling up at his great-granddad Gus told him.
" Dad and daddy did and I made up the karaoke one over tonight."
Hugging Gus sideways Henry told him. "Well, we loved it".
Glancing at all of them Mary smiled.
"You all look really good. I hope that you have your singing hats on boys and girls? Because we are going to take the roof down."
Hugging his Nana Justin replied. "We sure are Nana."
Gathering the troops, they all made their way to the jeep walking side by side, Henry slung his arm around Brian's shoulders.
"Don't worry Brian, trust me. I was like you are at the start but it actually surprised me and I really enjoyed it, so really don't worry OK."
Glancing at Hendty with a smile that curved the corner of his lips Brian replied.
"OK, I trust you, let's do this thing ."
