Chapter Eighteen
(Out of the Mouths of Babes)
** Oh god I feel like I just closed my eyes after getting finally getting everything packed and now I can hear the boys in Chances room giggling. I turned over and looked at the clock and can see that it's only six fifteen in the morning. Damn it and I feel like I am going to get sick again. The tuna that I had for lunch in the cafeteria must have gone bad because I have been sick at least a half dozen times tonight. And that was the last thing that I ate because all I had for dinner last night was a couple of cans of 7 up because I wasn't feeling the greatest at dinnertime. I just figured it was nerves was all. I guess that it must have been the tuna. Oh well here they come because I can here there little feet coming down the hallway floor. I think I will lay here with my eyes closed to see what they are up too. I can hear the door to my room open up all the way and bang into my dresser. I then feel the eyes of two little boys staring at me for the foot of the bed. I go to sit up but get dizzy instead so I lay back down. Chance and Ricky each climb up on the bed on a different side of me. I open up my eyes and there are the four bluest eyes staring me in the face. They then both ask if they could watch a wrestling video at the same time and it dawns on me that they even sound so much alike. It brings tears to my eyes. My little guy and his brother both hug me and tell me that if I don't want them to they could do something else. But to please don't cry. Which of course only makes me cry twice as hard as I already was. Which really isn't helping the fact that I am feeling sick again. I hug both boys to me and tell them that I am not crying because they want to watch wrestling but am crying happy tears that we all have a new beginning starting. Then both boys look at me and smile and say that what Daddy and Uncle Mark say's too. This causes me to sit straight up dizzy or not. Because I have to ask Chance why he called Glen Daddy. **
Lilah: Chance honey why did you just call Glen Daddy?
** My son just looks at me with those innocent eyes of his and says something that totally blows me away. **
Chance: Ricky Daddy must be his Daddy because him and Ricky are bothers.
** And then Ricky adds in his own comments that just about make me fall off the bed. **
Ricky: Me and Chance are brothers just like Mark and Glen is. They are brothers with just a different Daddy. And that him and Chance are brothers but with just a different Mommy. And that is why they look so much a like.
** How does that saying go out of the mouths of babes. Well this is something and now I don't know what to do because I want to tell Chance that yes Glen is his Daddy. But I also don't think it's my place to tell Ricky that Chance really is his brother. I really think that Glen should be the one to tell him so that if he has any questions he will be here to answer them. So all I can do is smile at them and change the subject by ask if they want me to go and put in a wrestling video for them. Which of course they both say yes and go jumping off my bed to run into the front room. I get up and grab the quilt off my bed so that they will have something to lie on the floor on and then I go into the front room and put the video in that they chose. After putting it in I sit down on the couch watching more of the clock then the video. When the Match of Mark and Glen come on the boys start cheering for them and booing the other guys who come out. They are Triple H who I believe is Paul and Stone Cold. The boys are now pretending to be Kane and Undertakers and are having a ball rolling around on the floor. Poor Mrs. O'Mallory because I know that she must be hearing them. I am laughing so hard that I jump when someone knocks on the door. I figured that it must be Mrs. O'Mallory and hope that she not to mad at me for all the noise. I get up still laughing at Ricky and Chance. To open up the door to not just Mrs. O'Mallory who has a huge grin on her face but also to the two grinning giants in my life. They all come in and Mark grabs me up in his arms and kisses me so deep and long that I start to blush when I realize that the room is silent. He finally lets me go and I turn around to get picked up into the arms of Glen who also kisses me long and deep. Damn a girl could really get used to these two men kissing her like that. Finally Mrs. O'Mallory start laughing which cause Glen to finally put me down. He hugs me to him once more and then lets me go. Mark is just watching with a grin on his face and then he lets out a whistle, which makes me look down and realize that I am only wearing an oversize t-shirt. I quickly run out of the room and to my bedroom by not fast enough not to hear Glen tell Mark now why did he do that because he liked seeing me like that. Then Mark say that he personally liked seeing me in even less which Glen agreed to. I could hear my savior smack the both of them in the arm. Thank you Mrs. O'Mallory. God I'm glad I wasn't where they could see me because when I looked into the mirror I am beet red. I take a few minutes and get dressed and by the time I come out of my room I now have not just Chance and Ricky rolling around on my floor but I also have Mark and Glen too. Mrs. O'Mallory is laughing so hard that she has tears running down her face. Then Ricky and Chance run over and grab my hands and pull me to were Mark and Glen are. They tell me that I have to be the ref and count. I laugh but think what the hell. I get down as Glen pins Mark to the floor and I count. One, Two, Three. Glen then looks into my eyes and leans forward and kisses me gently on the lips. I break the kiss and look down at the floor and right into Marks grinning face. I quickly bend down and kissed Mark on the lips and then held up Glen's hand like I seen the ref do to them when we were in the ring. **
Lilah: And the champion is Glen.
Ricky and Chance: Kane.
Lilah: Sorry and the champion of my front room floor is Kane.
** The boys are now jumping up and down pulling on Glen till he is on the ground on his back. Both boys lay on Glen and pin him. Mark who has sat up pull me down once more and I count. One, Two, Three. I then grab the boy's hands and declare them the new Champions of my front room. **
Lilah: And the New Champions of my front room are Ricky and Chance.
** Then I get the strangest look from the two boys. Then they put there heads together and start to whisper to each other finally Chance turns to me and say that they want to be called The Brothers of Destruction Two. Glen and Mark both start laughing along with Mrs. O'Mallory. I can't help it I start to cry softly and hug them both to me. After kissing them I declare the winners once more. **
Lilah: And the New Champions of my front room floor are The Brothers of Destruction Two Chance and Ricky.
** We all sit there laughing for a second and then Mrs. O'Mallory stands up grabbing a boy in each hand. She tells the new Champions that it is time to get them both dressed. As she starts to head into the bedroom with the boys Glen gives her something that I'm sure is Ricky clothes. Mark gets up off the floor and then reaches down a hand to Glen who gets up. They both turn and reach a hand down to me, which I take so that they can pull me up. Then both then lean down and each kiss a cheek. I hug them both and then return the kiss to each on the cheek. I then ask them if the would like to help me make breakfast so that we can get out of there on time. Which of course they both say yes to. After I got things out of the fridge we set about to make French toast and sausages. Mark was making the sausages while Glen was making the batter for the French toast. I couldn't help but laugh as I watched the two almost seven foot men playing around while making breakfast. I then thought about what Ricky and Chance said to me earlier and after the pot of coffee was done figured that this was as good as time as any to talk to Glen and Mark about it. **
Lilah: Glen?
Glen: What Lil?
Lilah: I think that you should know that our sons have decided that they are brothers and that you are both of their Daddy.
** Damn I think Glen would have dropped the bowl of batter if Mark hadn't taken it out of his hand. Then he grins that damn grin that him and Mark both have. The one that could just melt you into a puddle in seconds. **
Glen: How did they come to this decision?
Lilah: Well as they put it because they look a like they are brothers like you and Mark are. The only different is that they have different Mommy and you as their Daddy.
** Damn I swear that we are all going to get on that bus with red eyes because now Glen and Mark both have tears in their eyes and I can feel the tears going down my face already. Glen walks over and gently wipes the tears off my face with his thumb. Mark just leans back and smiles over at us. **
Glen: And what did you say to that?
Lilah: I changed the subject because I felt that you should be here when I tell Chance and I didn't feel that I had a right to tell Ricky that should be your decision.
Glen: Could we do it now?
** Oh god my life has changed so much over the last forty-eight hours already. Am I ready for more changes? Oh Hell yes these two men standing in my kitchen are a big part of my life right now. Why not go for broke and let every thing happen, as it should. So I shake my head yes and Glen gives me the biggest bear hug I have ever had in my life. And as if on cue Mrs. O'Mallory brings the boys dressed into the kitchen. And then I look down at them and I can't help but to laugh as they are both dressed in black jeans and sneakers and little black brother of destruction t-shirts. The one where one side has a picture of Kane and the other side is a picture of the Undertaker. I bend down and kiss them both and then Mark grabs Chance and Glen grabs Ricky and they put the boys onto a chair to share. Then we all sit down to the food that Mark has put on the table. Glen then looks at me and smiles and I shake my head yes at him. I think that it would be best if Glen told the boys because I'm not even sure that I could talk without crying. I see him take a deep breath and then he smiles once more at me. He then tells my son that he is our son and that him and Ricky are really brothers. Just like him and Mark is which makes both boys cheer. And he also tells them that Mark is both their Uncles, which causes Mark to grin too. Then my angel does something that melts my heart into a giant puddle. Because he gets out of his chair and comes over and hugs me. Then he looks at Glen and as a question that even Glen wasn't ready for. **
Chance: Mommy can I call him Daddy just like Ricky?
** Damn I look up at Glen because only Glen can say yes or no and what is he doing but crying. So I lean in real close to Chances ear and whispers. **
Lilah: I think that he would like that a real lot.
Chance: Thank you Mommy.
** Then my little boy gives me a kiss on the lips and gets off my lap. He then walks over to Glen who is still got tears running down his face. Glen picked him up and Chance looks him right into the eyes. **
Chance: I love you Daddy.
Glen: I love you too Son.
** Then Glen hugs him to him. Chance kisses Glen on the lips and then gets down and goes and gets back up into the chair that him and Ricky are sharing. Ricky puts his arm around Chance and then declares to the whole table that he has a little brother to teach things too. Now everyone is laughing and crying at the same time. The boys look around the table and then start to eat. We all start to do just that because we have to make the bus in just a few hours. God I stop what I am doing because it just dawned on me my whole life has changed. And I am sure that there are going to be other changes in my life too. I get up and head into the bathroom so that I can get sick. I guess I just can't take too much more or at least not all at once. I'm happy but also a little scared of what all the future holds for me. Oh well I guess I better get back out there before someone comes looking for me. I still have a lot to do to get out of here on time. **
