"Be careful, don't get too drunk" Jennifer said as she held Gus's hand at the doorway
It was Brian's and Justin's night out, they both decided to drive up to New York and hit the club scene while Jennifer looked after Gus for the night. Daphne volunteered to drive both of them up as she was meeting a couple of friends.
Emmett decided he needed to get away from Pittsburgh for a while so this is how he ended up supervising Justin and Brian.
Brian called Gus up after he ordered from room service and put it on speakerphone "Say hi Gus"
"Hello" he said Jennifer's voice rang out "heya guys are you having a nice time so far?"
"Yeah" Brian and Justin said in sync.
"That's great have fun tonight and we'll see you all tomorrow"
"Alright put Gus on the phone" Brian said turning the speakerphone off, he got up from his seat and walked away.
"Heya Daddy, can't wait to see you"
"I know sonny boy me too I love you"
"I love you too daddy tell Daddy Justin too" he said, Brian smiled in response to Justin's new name from his son's lips "when you come back I can be the best man right Daddy?" he asked.
Brian licked his lips "Yeah Sonny boy you're going to be the best bestest man ever"
Gus giggled at his sentence "Your funny daddy" Brian smiled as they hung up.
Brian sighed and turned his phone off and returned to the end of the bed. After Dinner they headed off to a club that Justin used to frequent at in the early stages of his stay in New York.
Brian pulled Justin onto the dance floor straight away with a drink in his hand. They both swayed on the dance floor "love you"
Justin looks at Brian "love you" he kissed him on the nose.
Justin screwed his face up "I hate when you do that" Brian smirked kissing him on the nose again. Justin growled "kiss me properly" he groaned.
Brian obeyed him. "Bit bossy today aren't you?" he said covering his mouth.
"Why has he started calling me Daddy Justin"
Brian roled his eyes "Gus looks up to you and he wants to call you it" he stated "you named him; you look after him, play with him and helps him when he gets mad or sad"
"Just because I play with you doesn't mean I'm your Daddy" he says with a big grin.
"That would against the law" Brian whispered against Justin's throat. Kissing up his jawline.
Justin moved his arm round his neck "Your not supposed to be attached to my hip all night"
"I don't care"
Who would have thought Justin would be Brian Kinney's partner in less than 42 hours. All the shit they went through and somehow they came out all good in the end. 11 Years ago he had met Brian by the off chance.
Justin chuckled burying his head into Brian's chest. Justin couldn't remember how many drinks brian had consumer and it was even worse as he couldn't tell if he was on his 12th or 15 drink. Brian rested his head on his shoulder "Justin" he whispered.
"mm"
"Do you remember" Brian hiccupped and sat up.
Justin riased an eyebrow "remember what?"
"I don't remember what I was going to say" Brian stated.
Justin laughed "I don't know either" Justin licked his lips.
Brian tightened his hold on Justin as a guy smirked his way. Justin looked over Brian's head.
Emmett smirked as Brian growled at the guy as he continued staring at him. Justin looked towards Emmett.
"Don't look at me" Emmett said takng a sip of drink "He's your responsibility now"
Justin sniggered "Thanks throw me to the dogs" he stated.
Brian glared the guy "Fuck off"
Justin licked his lips and stared at Brian with twinking eyes.
A guy barely old enough to drink brushed passed Brian "Watch it" Justin exclaimed.
"I think he needs an eye test, he was clearly in my way" the guy pointed at Brian.
"Maybe you should get back to girl scouts shithead" Justin pushed him "fuck off"
Brian licked his bottom lip as he moved around a bit so he could rest his chin on Justin's shoulder "do as your told little boy"
"Who you calling little boy, old man"
Justin eyes widened and he lunged at the guy throwing a punch to his jaw. "You really asking for it aren't you"
Brian's eyes widened as he watched Justin punch the man in the face.
Justin stumbled out of the bar door "Hey he started it" he houted at the bouncer. Brian laughed as he followed the bouncers who chucked Justin out. Emmett had a bunch of coats in his arm.
Daphanne finished her cigerette "I leave them with you for 10 minutes Emmett"
Emmett shurgged "it was all Justin's fault"
-QAF-
"Sunshine" Brian whispered into his ear.
Justin groaned "how are you so awake"
Brian kissed Justin on the cheek "you got to get up"
Justin groaned rolling onto his back and kicked the covers away. stumbling into the en suite bathroom and heavde into the toilet.
"Justin" Emmett called.
Justin leant on the open toilet seat "What" he groaned covering his eyes from the light.
"Justin it's time to sober"
Justin grabbed a tissue and wiped his face "What's the time"
"11.15am" she said putting her hand on his arm "come on Justin you got to get up" Daphne nudged Justin.
Emmett had a jug full of water and dumped it all over Brian who had fallan asleep on the bed after waking Justin up.
Brian shot up from the bed "Who the fuck did that?" he shouted screwng his eyes shut and wiped the water that was dripping down his face.
Daphne put her hand on me "Wake up Justin you're getting married in a 24 hours" she throws a towel at me "get up and showered"
Justin got pulled into the bathroom by Brian, they shut the door behind them "I feel like shit" Brian moaned.
"Join the club" they stripped off their clothes and got in the shower. The water sprayed over them, Brian pressed his erection into Justin's back. "I think we have time" looking over his shoulder and kissed him on the lips.
Brian smirked against my neck "with me you always have time for me to fuck you against the shower wall"
Justin pushed back against him.
About half an hour Emmett and Daphne sat at the table eating lunch as Brian and Justin came into the restaurant all dressed and sober.
By 1215 the four of them had gotten into Justin's SUV and drove back.
Brian woke up as Justin fell asleep with his head on his shoulder. Once Emmett pulled up to Daphne apartment building to drop her off "tell Justin I'll see him tomorrow morning" Brian nodded and looked out the window.
Emmett drove them back to his own apartment. Brian moved into the driving seat after putting Justin's seatbelt on "thanks Em" he said.
Emmett waved and walked away "see you tomorrow Brian"
Brian reversed and drove down the road. Justin stirred behind as Brian braked at the red light. Brian put his blinker on before pulling out of the road.
Justin yawned and opened his eyes just as Brian pulled into Jennifer's condo. Justin got out of the car shutting the door behind him before getting his jacket from the seat.
Brian put his arm round his shoulder as they walked up.
Jennifer's door opened and Gus ran out "daddy" he shouted running into his arms.
Brian picked him up and hugged him "hey sonny boy you have a nice time" he asked.
Gus nodded "Nana baked cookies with me" he said wrapping his arms round Brian's neck "then when I missed daddy we had a night time snack with hot chocolate" he smiled.
Brian kissed his cheek "wow" he said.
They all walked into the condo, Justin hung his jacket on the coat hanger and took Brian's leather coat and hung it next to him. "We're you good?" Brian asked.
Justin walked into the kitchen with his Mom "we just got back" he said sitting up at the island.
Gus ran into Jennifer's legs "up" he said.
Brian walked in and sat on the stool next to Justin.
"So I hear you got wasted?" Jen asked as Gus was sitting on her lap eating some fruit.
Justin finished eating his bit of apple "well yeah but I don't remember most of it" he sipped his water "but apparently I punched someone Emmett said look" he held his hand out where his knuckled were pretty bad just like Brian's.
"I remember bits of it" Brian said taking his water and drinking it all
"Sunshine here hit a guy for calling me old"
Jennifer aahed.
Justin turned his head away from "no s-e-x until tomorrow night now" he said taking the empty glass from Brian. Jennifer laughed at her son's childishness.
"I went without any for a whole 3 years I think I can last" Brian turned to me again.
"Do you want to make it 4"
Brian pursed his lips
Jen was still laughing.
Brian's phone rung and he put it to his ear "Hello Kinney speaking"
"Brian"
"Lindsey" he stood from the chair "How have you been?"
Justin raised an eyebrow as Brianturned his back.
Lindsey coughed "I'm better"
"That's good" Brian stated.
"I hear Peter's finally growing up and getting married"
"Is my Wendy going to be there?"
"Yeah" Lindsey whispered "I've just landed"
Brian grinned "I should be there as soon as possible"
"I'll be getting lunch call once your outside"
Brian hung up the phone.
Justin leaned his hip on the counter as Brian turned back round "Is she coming?"
Brian nodded "She's already here"
Brian opened the door for Gus to get strapped in while Justin said goodbye to his mother.
"We'll see you later" Justin hugged her and pulled apart.
"You need to watch Gus" Jennifer stated "He hasn't seen his mother in a few months and he may cling to you and Brian an awful lot until Lindsey has gone again"
Justin nodded "I know" he kissed her on the cheek. Justin got into the passenger seat and waved as Brian pulled out of the driveway.
"I'll drop you off at Debbie's" Brian stated "I dont' want her to see him yet"
"Okay"
-QAF-
Gus shut the car door as he put his back pack on once Brian pulled up at the diner.
Justin kissed Brian on the lip "Lindsey can't stay at the house" Brain looked down at the steering wheel.
"I know" he took his seatbelt off.
"Your better at telling Gus things"
Justin opened the door "Sure" he shut the door behind him and walked over to Gus taking his hands walking into Debbie's
Brian pulled away.
Justin kncked on the door and walked into thre house "Deb" he called.
Debbie smiled as she turned round "Hey Guys" she smiled. "Sit" she gestured to the table where she laid a plate of sandwiches.
Justin sat down "I don't feel hungry" he said.
Deb put his hand on his forhead "You feeling alright?"
Justin nodded "Do you mind If I can talk to Gus for a minute"
"Sure" she patted him on the arm "I'll be upstairs"
Justin leaned on his arm "Gus"
Gus looked up from his sandwich "Mom's coming isn't she?" Justin nodded. Gus swung his legs on the chair "Do I have to spend time with her?"
Justin pursed his lips "not if you don't want to"
Gus looked down at his lap "I don't want to but I think I do" he whsipered "is that not a good thing. She didn't spend time with me and she left me with Mel alot"
"Gus look at me" Justin demanded. Gus screwed his face up and looked up. Justin held Gus face in his hand "Your Mom loves you but she had a hard time coping with you and she may have neglected you a lot but she is always going to be your Mom" he explained.
"I love Mom but I don't think I want to stay with her or be alone with her too much"
"I don't expect nothing else" Justin let of his face and kissed him on the head "Eat your sandwich"
Gus nodded "Grandma you can stop sitting on the top of the stairs now"
"You know me too well Gus" Debbie said as she walked down the stairs.
Gus grinned and took a bite of his sandwich.
-QAF-
Brian looked at the text as he had the car parked in station at the front of the airport. 'Gus already knew. He says he dosn't want to be alone with Lindz. I tell you more later' Brian licked his lips and looked out of the window.
Lindsey walked out of the automatic doors with a big duffle bag dragging on the floor. she looked aorund the airport car park.
Brian got out of the car walking round the front "Lindsey"
Lindsey looked up and smiled "This wasn't the car i was looking for?" she said looking down at the SUV.
Brian shrugged "Its Justin actually" he stated taking her bag and opened the back of the car "We have a lot to catch up on" Brian shut the door holding his arm for her.
Lindsey looped her arms through his and put her hands in her pockets.
-QAF-
"Where have you been?"
Lidsey nursed her cup of coffee in her hand "I went to Rome" she stated "I went to a facility there and they helped me to overcome a few issues"
"That's good"
Lindsey looked up "How is Gus?"
Brian shrugged "He see's his shrink but other than I don't know" he drunk some coffee "He's not ready to alone with you"
"I know that for the past 3 years I'm barely called his Mother"
-QAF-
Gus sat on a outdoor swing in Debbie's backyeard, he leaned against the metal and closed his eyes.
Debbie leant on the pole of the swing "How you holding?"
Gus opened his eyes and shrugged.
"Gus" Justin called from the doorway.
Gus looked over his shoulder "Coming" he said he turned to Debbie "Do you think I could call Justin Papa?"
"Ask" Debbie stated.
Gus nodded and hugged Debbie round the middle "I'm scared to"
"If Justin thinks you shouldn't then he will tell you but I don't see that happening" Debie staed.
"Thanks Grandma" he pulled away and ran to Justin.
-QAF-
Gus hugged Justin round the middle as they met Brian and Lindsey at a restaurant. Gus looked up "Justin" he looked down "Can I? he stuttered "Can I call your Papa"
Justin looked down and thought about for a few minutes "Have you spoken to your dad?" he asked.
Gus shook his head.
Justin bit his bottom lip "I would be honored to be called your Papa but If Your Dady says its okay then i would love you for calling me that"
Gus grinned "Okay"
Justin tightened his hold on Gus "Are you ready?"
Gus nodded as the SUV pulled up, he galnced at the passenger door as he saw his Mom "No" he breathed out.
"Its Okay"
Gus took Justin's hand.
-QAF-
Later in day, Brian and Lindsey met up with Justin and Gus with the SUV. They went straight to dinner after checking Lindsey into her hotel. Lindsay was chatting to Justin about his new painting project "so what's your latest painting about?"
"It's kind of secret but I'm having trouble in naming it" Justin said
"Can I see it if it's all right with you?"
Justin nods "yeah I need your opinion"
Lindsey nodded as the waiter came, they ordered after a few minutes. Gus pulled on Brian's wrist "daddy I need a pee" he said crossing his legs. Brian stood taking his hand.
Lindsay turned to Justin once Brian and Gus were out of sight "can I ask. Have you talked about what's going to happen next with you two" she asked.
Justin raised an eyebrow "like what?"
Lindsey nodded "kids"
Justin laughed "don't be silly I'm still too young" he said "and besides I don't think we want to go that far" he said.
Lindsey raised her eyebrow "oh come on Justin you can tell us"
Justin shook his head "no really" he stated.
Lindsey crossed her arms on the table "I may have had Gus but I don't think kids would have been my first choice" Lindsay licked her lips "I've seen you and Brian work together me and Mel were good at time but we didn't mesh well with each other"
Justin shrugged "I've never thought of it"
Lindsey licked her lips "Gus is in the best place with people who can look after him properly meeting all of his needs. You and Brian are the best parents for him"
The subject of kids never came up with Brian and Justin over the past years knowing each other "wow" Justin exclaimed leaning back In the chair.
"I think you need to talk to Brian about it"
-QAF-
Gus dryed his hands while Brian washed his. He pulled his hand from under the dryer and grabbed some napkins.
Brian turned the tap of with the back of his hand and wiped his hands. He leaned against the wall "You've been quiet"
Gus chucked the paper into the bin "I'm thinking" he smiled.
Brian threw away his paper towels "about what?"
Gus looked up and put his hands in his jacket pocket "If I called Justin Papa would you mind?"
Brian grinned "No"
Gus let out a deep sigh "That's good then because Justin said I could once I had talked to you about it"
"Is that what you've worrying about?"
Gus nodded "I won't call him that until after"
"Its up to you" Brian said.
Gus smiled "I think I need to Mom aswell"
"Okay"
"Tonight" he stated "Can I go with her?"
"You need to ask her"
They went back to the restaurant.
-QAF-
"I'm not ready for you to be my Mom again" Gus stated.
Lindsey nodded as she sat crossed legged on the hotel bed.
"And I want to call Justin Papa"
"Okay"
"Thank you"
-QAF-
"Justin what's wrong?" Brian asked just after he dropped Lindsey and Gus at the hotel for the night.
Justin sighed and looked out the window "Brian what if I told you I wanted kids?"
Brian was silent for a while and he slowed down the car to stop at the side of the road and left the car running "it's a big decision Justin I mean if you have a kid he or she is part of mine. I don't regret doing it because well I got Gus and you I think it's changed my life" Justin looked down at his hand next to Brian's "I don't mind what you do it, you should think it through, and I love you no matter what. You have this kid if you want it but you'll still have me"
Justin smiled and leaned over the console to kiss him, he pulled away briefly "thank you"
