Chapter Fourteen

Mark carried John through the forest as fast as he could. He knew that he had to get help for the younger man or it would be too late. He meant what he said about seeing the city with John. He wanted to do a lot of things with John.

"Mark," John breathed.

"Yes, baby?"

"I'm sorry about your family."

Mark moved his eyes to John's pale face.

"I'm glad that monster's dead."

"Don't think about it, John. I need you to focus on us, okay?"

"On us?"

Mark nodded.

"What about us?"

"I really do love you, John."

"You do?"

"Oh yes."

"I love you too."

The older man kept moving.

"I had some dreams about us," John whispered.

"Really? Tell me about them. Are they good? Bad?"

John chuckled. "I had one dream where I was pregnant and cooking you a spaghetti dinner. You came home early from work and had to tend to our eighteen-month-old boy."

"That's a nice dream. We had a baby boy?"

John nodded. "He was a beautiful mix of you and me."

"What was his eye color?"

"Blue."

"Just like yours."

The younger man smiled. "He had your hair."

"Was there any others?"

"I dreamt that we got married."

"Really?"

John nodded. "You were very handsome in your suit."

Mark smiled. He liked the thought of them being married. In fact, he wanted to get married to the younger man despite the fact they just met not too long ago.

"I would like that," Mark said. "I would love to marry you."

"Really?" John questioned. "But we just met."

"I know, but I love you and I know that I want to spend the rest of my life with you."

John nuzzled into the crook of Mark's neck. Mark loved the feel of John's breathe against his skin. He had to hurry or he might lose John. He continued walking well into the morning and afternoon.

"Mark," John said. "Rest."

Mark just smiled. "I need to get you to safety. I don't want you to die."

"The bleeding has slowed and I want you to rest."

The older man nodded and sat down. He leaned against the tree and got comfortable. John shifted and got comfortable himself. Both men slept for a few hours. Mark woke first and stared into John's face. He brushed his lips against the younger man's forehead. John stirred and yawned. He blinked several times before waking up. He stared at Mark and smiled.

"We need to continue on," Mark said.

John nodded and replied, "I need to use the restroom first."

"Okay."

John stood and Mark helped him walk to a nearby bush. Both men did their business and trekked on.

"Let's turn here," Mark said.

"Why?" John questioned.

"If we go that way, we'll get to the road by nightfall."

John nodded. "We're going home."

"Yeah, we're going home."

True to Mark's word, they made it to the road. Mark and John continued on until a cop car pulled up beside them.

"Are you two all right?" the officer asked. He shone his light onto John's face. "Mr. Cena?"

John nodded as he clutched his side.

The officer smiled. "Get in the car. I'm taking you both to the hospital."

…

Mike moved as quickly as he could to where they were keeping John. He was stopped by a nurse.

"You can't see him just yet," she replied.

"The hell I can't," Mike stated.

"Mikey," Randy called after him. "Let's go to the waiting area."

"No, I want to see John," Mike said.

"They're looking after him right now. Let them do their job...okay?"

Mike stared at his husband and slowly nodded. Randy led him to the waiting area and sat him down. Mike got comfortable and laid his head on his husband's shoulder.

"You okay, baby?" Randy asked.

Mike nodded. "I'm so happy that John's back. I just want to see him."

"I know, baby, I know."

Mark entered the waiting area after getting patched up. He sat down and waited. He moved his eyes to the two men. Mike rubbed his stomach while Randy lowly talked to him. The older man smiled. He wanted to be like them.

"Mr. Calaway?" a nurse called.

"Yes, ma'am," Mark said as he stood up.

"Mr. Cena is asking about you."

Mark smiled and nodded. "How is he?"

"The wound was nothing serious. They have him all stitched up and in a room. He's wanting to see you and..." she looked at her notes, "the Orton family if they are here."

"That's us!" Mike said as he stood up.

Randy stood as well, eyes on the older man.

"Follow me," the nurse said.

The three men did so. Mike stared at the back of Mark's head, trying to figure out why would his friend as for this man. Randy questioned this as well, but he had a hunch that there was something more going on between the two. They got to the room and Mike rushed him.

"Johnny!" the younger man said. He hugged his friend and kissed his temple. "I was so worried about you."

"Mikey, I'm just fine," John said. He looked around his friend and at Mark. "How are you feeling?"

"I'm good," Mark replied.

Mike looked to the older man.

"Mike, Randy, this is Mark," John said. "He watched over me."

Mike smiled and went over to the older man. He stared at him before hugging him. "Thank you so much for bringing him back to us safe and sound."

"No problem," Mark said. He looked to John. "How are you feeling?"

"Okay." John beckoned him over.

The older man complied and he leaned over. "Yes?"

John wrapped his arms around his neck and pulled him into a kiss. "I feel better now."

Mike's eyes went wide and he turned to Randy, who had a smile on his face.

"Um...did I miss something?" Mike asked.

John laughed and looked to his friend. Everyone pulled up a chair and talked about the events leading up to now. John was surprised that Mike and Randy were having twins, but he was really happy for them. He was more surprised that Mike stood up to Shawn and Hunter.

"So if you're with Mark...what about Hunter?" Mike asked.

John looked to Mark and said, "I found someone that I really want to be with and that loves me."

"Good, so when are we going over to get your stuff?" Mike asked.

"When he's better," Randy replied. "Besides, you're not doing anything. I'll be helping. You're just watching."

Mike stuck out his tongue.

"You'll be coming too, right?" John asked Mark.

The older man nodded. "I told you that I wanted to see your city."

John smiled.

…

Mark and Randy spent the day moving John's things out of Hunter's and his old home. Hunter was at work and didn't know that John had been found. John helped out when he could or rather when Mark wasn't looking. When the last of John's things were placed on the U-haul, Hunter drove up.

"What the hell?" he asked as he got out of his car.

John looked at him and turned back to Randy.

"John?" Hunter asked. "You're okay?"

"Yes, I am," John replied.

"What's going on, sweetheart?"

"I'm leaving you, Hunter," John said. "I know about you and Shawn. I came home and heard everything. So I'm leaving you...giving you a chance to be with someone you want to be with."

"Baby, that was just a one time thing," Hunter said. "It was a mistake that I regret."

John stared at him. "Well, then live with your mistake without me."

Hunter glared at John and grabbed him by his collar. "You think you can just leave me?"

"Let him go," Mark replied as he walked at of the house.

Hunter turned his eyes to the older man as he flashed his service weapon. Hunter clenched his teeth and let John go.

"John, get into the car with Randy," Mark said.

Randy and John did so as Mark went over to Hunter. The taller man stared down the blond.

"If you ever, and I mean ever, lay a hand on what's mine, they will never find your body," Mark promised. "He's no longer yours. Do we understand each other?"

Hunter slowly nodded.

Mark smiled and went to the truck. He followed Randy to the storage unit. They unloaded the truck, dropped off the U-haul, and went back to the Ortons' apartment. Mike had dinner ready for everyone.

"I'm so glad that you were going to start up your private investigation business," Mike said.

Mark nodded.

"I'm just glad that you decided to live in the city with me," John replied.

"I want to be with you," Mark said as he patted John's hand. "I'll get used to living in the city."

"If you don't like the city, there's always the suburbs," Randy replied.

John nodded. "I thought about that, but I don't want to be that far away from Mike. You guys are going to need help with the twins."

Randy nodded as he laughed. "Me and Mike are thinking about getting a house."

Mike looked to Randy.

"We've been thinking about it. Kids need a yard to play in. With twins, a bigger place would be better."

Mark nodded. "I was looking at houses up in the north side of town. It will take about thirty-five minutes to get into the city, but there's trees and a lake. The nearest neighbor is about five minutes away, but that's not that bad. There's like five up for grabs."

Randy looked to Mike.

"Do you mean it?" Mike asked.

Randy nodded.

Mike smiled and replied, "We can go up when you have a day off."

"We'll do that."

After dinner, John washed the plates and got ready for bed. He looked to a relaxed Mark. The younger man smiled and crawled into bed. Mark wrapped an arm around his waist.

"I love you," Mark whispered.

"I love you too," John replied. "Who would have thought that I would found someone on a mountain?"

Mark smiled.

"Who would have thought that I would have fallen in love with that mountain man?"

"I'm glad that you fell in love with me."

John smiled. "I'm glad that you found me. I'm so sorry about Coco."

Mark nodded. "I am too. She was a good friend."

They laid very still as they heard the faint banging of headboard. They both looked to each other and chuckled.

"I can't wait till we get our own place," John replied.

"I can't wait until we have little one of our own," Mark said.

John looked at him. "You mean that?"

Mark nodded.

"Do you want to start now?"

The older man chuckled and rolled John onto his back. "This is going to be fun."

John smiled and wrapped his arms around Mark's neck and pulled him into a kiss.
