Chapter 2 of Losing Bikky
Ryo invited the mom inside and they all sat on the couch. It was silent for a couple minutes. Ryo didn't know what to say. But apparently, the mom did.
"I'm sorry to barge in on you, my name is Leigh Goldman, and yes, I am Bikky's mother." Her eyes were kind, but deceiving. Ryo had so many questions, but when he was going to say something, nothing came out. It was like he couldn't breathe.
Dee came into the room and gave everyone coffee, except Bikky of course. He wasn't afraid to ask anything.
"Now Leigh, what happened? Didn't everyone think that you were dead? Where did you go?" Dee questioned. Leigh looked very uncomfortable, she just held Bikky's hand tighter.
"I pretended that I was dead, yes. Bikky's father was always taking drugs, and whenever he was home, he would beat me. I couldn't take it! I knew that he loved Bikky, so I left. I didn't have enough money to take Bikky with me, so I wrote a suicide note, and left." She paused and looked down at her son, "I missed my son so much. But I went to college, and now I am a pediatrician. When I heard that my husband had died, I was so happy. I'm sorry Ryo, but I want my son back." She pierced her eyes into Ryo's.
Ryo knew that she had the right to take him away, she was his mother. But he didn't want to let go. Dee was about to go ballistic.
"Ok lady, you said that you didn't have enough money to take Bikky with you, then how the hell did you afford college?"
"I borrowed money from my parents." She gave Dee a huge glare.
"Then couldn't you have taken Bikky with you and borrowed money to take care of him?" Dee was starting to hate Leigh; he wished that she had really died.
"Then I couldn't have gone to college to keep taking care of him! I can't borrow forever!" She yelled at the cop.
Ryo wanted this to stop. "Hold it!" Dee and Leigh stopped fighting. "Instead of trying to decide who's right, and what should have happened, let's just have Bikky decide, he is the one that's in the middle." They all looked at the blonde haired boy. He looked as if he was going to cry again. He wanted to be with his mom, but loved Ryo and Dee.
"I have an idea. Let me have Bikky for a day, and we'll see who he wants to be with." Leigh stated.
Soon after Bikky was packed for the overnighter and left out the door. He gave a one last look at Ryo, and smiled. Ryo smiled back and waved.
"Bitch!! How can she do this! She could have jus reported Dick Goldman to the police and lived happily with Bikky. But nooooo. She had to take the coward way out." Dee sat on the couch and turned on the T.V. He was so pissed.
"Dee, I agree with you. But all she wants is her son back!"
"Ryo! You're just going to let him go? After all we've been through as a family!?" Ryo sat down next to him and held his hand.
"I don't know what to do, or what I should do. Dee, I don't want him to go, I love him, he's my son." Ryo hugged his partner.
"I love him too." Dee returned the hug, kissing the man on the head, praying that it would be okay.
At Leigh's apartment
Bikky looked around in his mother's home, and it was, messy. Boxes were everywhere, and there were beer bottles and garbage devouring the home. It smelled awful too.
"I know it's a bit messy, but we can clean up together. Ah, here we are. This is your room." She wiped some sweat off from her forehead.
Bikky walked in and looked around, it was nice. Much better than the rest of the apartment, it looked like she had never even set foot in here. Everything was white, and very clean. There was even a nice looking bed there, it looked so comfy.
"Thanks mom." Bikky gave her a hug and sat down on the bed. It WAS comfy. Leigh went into the kitchen.
"It's not the same though, but, she's my mom." Bikky whispered to himself.
He rolled over, thoughts were overwhelming his mind. Why did she have to leave, why'd she leave me! And she lied; she lied to all of us, just so she could have a stupid career. What am I thinking!? She's my mom! I have to love her; she's going to want me to pick her. But what about Ryo and Dee? They are my dads! They love me too. I love them also, and Ryo will love me whoever I choose. God dammit! Why is this so fucking hard?
Later that night-
Bikky and Leigh both sat down at the table and had pasta for dinner, they laughed, they talked and had a great time. Leigh also had a lot of questions to ask Bikky.
"So what do Ryo and Dee do for a living?" Bikky finished slurping his pasta to answer.
"They are both cops, well, detectives. That's how I met them." Leigh went to conclusions.
"You got into trouble?"
"No! They were handling Dad's case, I was there for questioning. Ryo knew I had nowhere to go, so he adopted me." He smiled, avoiding Leigh's eyes.
"Is he nice to you? Were they ever mean to you?" Leigh wanted to know everything, even secrets that they had locked away.
"Ryo and Dee are ALWAYS nice to me; they only get mad when I get into trouble."
"Did they hit you?" Bikky was getting annoyed.
"Of course not! They wouldn't even think of doing that!!" Bikky was starting to feel very insecure around her. But she kept asking.
"So, do they live together…as a couple?" She raised her eyebrow as she talked to her son.
"Well ya. Do you have a problem with them as a couple?"
"Oh no! I'm just wondering." Actually she did have a problem with it. She was raised as a catholic and was taught that loving your same sex was a sin, wrong. She didn't want Bikky to be raised with them, he could turn gay.
"Bikky, are you ok with their relationship?"
"Ya, of course I am. What's wrong about them being gay?" Bikky's pasta was almost gone, but still had to work on the salad.
"Well, I don't want my only son to be gay." Bikky almost coughed up his bite of pasta up his nose.
"Ha!! Are you kidding me! I'm not gay! I like a girl!"
"Oh who!" The blonde started to blush.
"Well…her name is Carol. We are best friends, she's always coming over, and she also looks to Ryo as a father." Leigh knew that somehow she had to make Bikky love her, more that Ryo and Dee.
So she played games, watched T.V., and looked at the stars with Bikky. But once she won, she'd put her son to work, she wanted him to grow up knowing how to fix everything. By the time Bikky went to bed, he was very happy, and he knew who he was going to pick.
Ryo turned off all the lights and crawled into bed with Dee. Tomorrow was judgment day, and he was worried as hell. Dee was worried too, even though he and Bikky always would fight and beat each other up; he loved Bikky like a son. Dee could see right through his husband, so he wrapped his arm around Ryo's waist and squeezed lightly.
"Don't worry babe. There is no way that Bikky could choose that witch. She could never be a good parent like you." Ryo sighed.
"Thanks Dee, but, Leigh's his mother, why wouldn't he choose her."
"Because we are his father." Ryo turned to Dee and kissed him.
"I love you Dee, Good-night." The black-haired man nodded and they both snuggled underneath the covers.
At 11o'clock, there was a knock at Ryo's apartment. Ryo stomach flipped up-side down. There was a 70 chance that he'd lose his son.
"Here we go. Are we ready for this?" Dee pecked his cheek.
"Let's get this damn thing over with." Ryo nodded and opened the door. Bikky automatically gave Ryo a hug.
"Hi Bikky! We missed you last night!" Ryo was overjoyed to see Bikky again. Dee had to make a comment like always.
"Ya, I missed all the usual racket you make." Dee laughed at himself and Bikky gave him a glare, but ran over to hug him too. Ryo invited Leigh in.
"Hello Leigh, how are you?" She handed him her coat and smiled innocently.
"Hello Ryo, I'm excellent thank you." She was very confident that she was going to win this, after all the laughter with Bikky, how could she not? Ryo hated being so nice, for once he really wanted kick her out of his apartment.
"Would you like some coffee, Leigh?" Dee tried so hard not to also kick her out. Bitch, bitch, bitch.
"No thank you, I took Bikky to Starbucks this morning, so I already had some." She sat down on the couch and crossed her legs. "Can we get this show on the road, please?"
"Um, yes. Bikky? Are you ready?" Ryo asked quietly, his voice turning hoarse. Dee stirred Bikky between Ryo and Leigh, and then put his arm around Ryo's shoulder.
Bikky looked from Leigh to his fathers. He knew who he was going to pick, but it was hard to know the other one would be sad.
"Okay, I'm ready. Mom, I love you, and I always will, I don't care about the past, I'm just so glad that you're alive. I had a lot of fun being with you." He looked towards Dee and Ryo, "You guys have always been there for me, and I love you too. You're always so nice and fun to be with also, you guys were like the father that I never had. I mean, even though I had a dad, he was never home, and never loving." He sighed and looked at his feet. His heart was racing.
"But I'm going to have to pick…" He stopped and walked toward Leigh, he held her hand. "…Ryo and Dee. I'm sorry mom."
"YES!!!" Dee yelled and jumped in the air, but realized how hard it was for Leigh. "Oh, I mean, yay." Ryo fell to his knees, it was over, he won.
Leigh took her hand from him and stood up to glare at him. "Fine. If you want to stay with these gay freaks, so be it. You'll regret not wanting to live with your own mother!" She ran out the door and slammed it as hard as she could.
Bikky took a deep breathe and then gave Ryo a huge hug. When he saw his, he was shocked to see that tears were running down his Dad's cheeks.
"Ryo…" Bikky whispered.
"Bikky, I love you. I was so worried that you would want to live with your mother, but I am just so happy that I get to keep you." Dee bent down to join the hug too.
"I am so glad you picked us. I feel like crying too!" Bikky raised his eyebrow.
"Okay, maybe I don't, no offence, but I really hate your mom." All Bikky did was smile, he could go back to living his normal life, the one he loved.
Ryo stood back up and asked Bikky the biggest question on his mind, "Bikky, why did you choose us?"
"Because I didn't think that she could be trusted, she lied before, who knows if she would lie again. Plus, I just want to be with you guys. I don't want to get used to living another life. The only thing I would be regretting is why I didn't pick you. Let's just forget it for now." Ryo nodded.
"Want to go grab some pizza?" Ryo asked, knowing Bikky didn't want to talk about it anymore.
"You bet!!" Exclaimed Bikky and Dee at the same time. Ryo laughed and went to go grab his keys in the kitchen. Dee followed him.
"I told you it was going to be okay." Ryo smiled at Dee and wrapped his arms around his neck.
"I should listen to you more often." They're lips touched lightly, but only to turn into a fiery kiss.
Ding-dong! The kiss stopped, "Is she back?" Ryo asked Dee silently.
"I don't know, but she better not be."
"I got it!" Bikky yelled to the other room. He opened the door slowly, kind of hoping his mom wasn't back, but only to find Carol peek her head in.
"Hiya!" Ryo and Dee heard, and took a breath of relief. Ryo walked out and hugged her, "Hi Carol! Want to have some pizza with us?"
"Sure!" She smiled.
"We have A LOT to tell you!" Bikky taking her hand while he walked out the door.
"But only when we get there, I am starving!" Dee stomach growled.
"You're always starving!" Bikky laughed.
"And you're point?" Dee flicked his son in the head. Ryo took Dee's hand and held it tight.
Wow…I'm done. That took me all day!!! Especially since I had a writer's block, that's why everything was so bad!!! I'm sorry!! Tell me if it was ok! Oh! I also tried to make this longer… Thanks for reading!
