Chapter 4 – What?
Hey folks, glad people are still reviewing, cos I enjoy replying. Got a review from kailover2006 asking who is the father to ray's because it cant be both kai and bryan and I did a lot of research into this, a mother can have children to 2 different fathers, because many eggs can be released at different times and since sperm only live for 6 – 12 hours it is possible to have different parents. I asked my doctor when I was in for an appointment 2 weeks ago, just to confirm it. But thanks for the reviews, any way on with the chapter.
In this chapter we will hear how Lee and Nicholi got together, and see who Tala is dating. HAHAHA. Ok on with the story.
Rei looked at the three shocked faces looking at him, getting rather nervous. "Maybe Lee should explain, because I'm not to sure about it." He said directing the attention away from himself and directing it at his fellow neko.
Lee glared at Rei and looked into the three pairs of eyes that had now turned their attention onto him. "Neko's, especially males, very rarely give birth to a single child, cub, kitten what ever you want to call them, different people say different things." He explained steering off topic, hoping to distract them.
However they all looked at him waiting for him to continue, sighing deeply he did just that, "because of our genetics, the same thing that makes us able to get pregnant also makes us release a number of eggs, usually together so we have more than one to a single father, or if possible they release later and you can have two fathers." He explained.
Rei smiled at him. Meanwhile Kai and Bryan were looking at him questioningly, "How do you know?" Bryan finally asked breaking the stunned silence.
Lee quirked his eyebrow at the Russians question, "Until they are born, you don't," he answered. "But it's happened before, so it is possible." He assured not wanting to disappoint the Russian to early.
Bryan smiled at him knowingly. Suddenly Bryan giggled, "Rei's gonna get fat." He laughed doubling over; Kai looked at his older lover who was doubled over looking like he was going to fall to the floor in hysterics, his lilac hair falling in front of his face.
"You're not getting any, anytime soon," Rei said simply. Giving him a look of distain, feeling a bit vexed by the way his lover was acting.
"I probably wouldn't be for the rest of the week anyway, not since you can barely sit down." He giggled, falling to his knees, his forehead on the floor as he continued to giggle.
Rei seethed angrily, shifting slightly at the dull ache in his backside, strolling over to the tall Russian. Standing over him with his arms folded. He quickly kicked him over and stood on his chest. "Do you wanna laugh now," he growled, watching Bryan shake his head violently, stepping off of the powerful chest gingerly and limping towards the bedroom, "Don't bother talking to me for the rest of the day Bryan," was all he said as he closed the door, heading over to the bed and laying down, looking at the white stick still in his grasp.
----in the living room--------
"Bryan you really can be an inconsiderate prick." Kai said, helping his taller lover up. Pushing the lilac locks from his blue eyes, Bryan looked down ashamedly. "I don't know why I said that, I wasn't thinking," he looked down deject "I didn't mean to upset him," he cried tears leaking from the corners of his eyes.
Kai sighed, hugging the taller Russian and kissing him gently, "I know you didn't, let him calm down then go apologise alright," Kai said lifting the goateed chin and lightly pecking the soft lips.
Bryan cuddled Kai loosely, looking over at the pair of lovers sat on the leather couch. "So, what are you guys thinking," he asked as normally as he could muster. His voice wavering slightly.
Lee walked over and hugged Bryan, "I'll go talk to him, alright," he asked feeling the tall man cry silently into his hair and feeling him nod slowly. Lee pulled away slowly and Kai moved back in front of the tall man drawing his head to rest on the muscular shoulder.
Lee moved to the door, motioning for the tall blonde to stay where he was, opening the door slowly. "Rei, can we talk?" he asked uncertainly. Peering through the small gap he had created, seeing Rei peering at the white stick. Sighing gently he walked into the room and closed the door.
Rei barely looked up as he sat on the edge of the comforter. His golden eyes glazed over looking blankly at his test, Lee looked and realised he still had a hold of his own test. Putting it on the side table as he lay behind, Rei wrapping his arms around him, the younger man being encased in the silent strength and support being offered to him.
"Bryan really doesn't realise what he says half the time," Rei said suddenly. Lee looked at his friends face, silently asking for an explanation. Rei looked back at him and smiled slightly.
"Biovolt really messed him up, he wouldn't speak much, but we worked on it and now he seems to say whatever pops into his head at a particular moment," he explained, rubbing the arms that stretched across his chest slowly.
Lee snuggled into his back, being careful not to move him to much. "Did it upset you that much?" he asked, since Rei wasn't really one to get so emotional, and he wasn't pregnant enough to blame it on hormones.
"Not really," he said shortly, sighing deeply, "I don't know, just the thought that I'm carrying his or Kai's children, possibly both" he added quickly, "That he'd find that funny, it kind of worried me, that he may think it's all a big joke and leave later." He said tears slowly flowing down his flushed cheeks.
Lee gently brushed the salty tears from the warm cheeks. "Bryan wouldn't leave you, he loves you and Kai, he wouldn't leave," Lee consoled. Nuzzling into the shaking neck and running his hand up the heaving flank of his friend as he sobbed into the pillow.
"Do you want to talk to Bryan, or Kai maybe?" he asked gently, not being able to bear seeing him so upset. "Can you get Kai please?" he asked between sobs his body shaking with the force.
Lee extracted himself from Rei and leaned over to kiss the salty cheek. "I promise it's alright." He said climbing slowly off the bed and padding silently to the door across the wine coloured carpet.
He opened the door and stepped into the living room, "Kai he wants to talk to you." He said simply moving over to the pair of Russians who hadn't moved from their spot on the floor and pulling Bryan into his own arms so Kai could talk to his distraught lover.
----In the bedroom--------
Rei was sobbing so hard that he didn't hear Kai enter the room, he didn't realise the other was present until he was gently placed into a warm lap, his head being held against a strong chest and fingers running soothingly through his hair.
The sobs stopped but tears still fell from the dulled golden eyes, which looked up into warm crimson. Rei's arms flew around the Russians neck, hiding his face in it, nuzzling it reassuringly.
Kai ran his hands up and down the smaller mans back, caressing it gently, encouraging him to calm down. "Want to tell me what's wrong love?" he asked when Rei was beginning to breath normally again.
"I just thought that, maybe when I get further along that you and Bryan won't put up with me anymore, and it scares me that you could leave me, I don't want you to leave." He said quietly his face barely lifting from its position on Kai's neck as he spoke.
"Oh Rei, don't cry love," he said gently keeping up the calming ministrations. "Angel, we love you, I know that you and Bryan are the main reasons I even wake up in the morning, and I couldn't bare to loose either of you. Bryan didn't mean it kitten, according to Lee he had some sugar and has gone kind of hyper, come on angel, show me those beautiful golden eyes." He said gently raising his chin and forcing Rei to look into his reassuring face.
Rei looked into the warm eyes, sparkling with a passionate fire that told Rei his inhibitions were unfounded. He smiled happily curling his arms around the neck of the phoenix and purred happily.
Kai smiled happily, "would you talk to Bryan please, he's been crying since I pulled him up off of the floor." He said, pulling Rei back slightly.
Rei looked guilty, "I didn't mean to upset him," he paused hearing a commotion I the living room.
---Living room---
"Come on Bryan, he's just a little insecure, it'll be alright." Lee said while rubbing the heaving back in slow circular motions, "I mean come on, if he hated you do you think he'd let you shove a fist up his ass." He asked. Bryan laughed at that.
Nicholi looked startled, "what the hell have you been telling him?" he asked worriedly, looking slightly alarmed when Lee looked down guiltily. "Umm……..they didn't so much tell me, as show me." He said quietly, "THEY WHAT!" Nicholi shouted looking shocked at his lover.
Lee looked at him guiltily, "I'm sorry, but when I found out I could get pregnant I thought you'd leave. I slept with them," he said tears now leaking out of his eyes, as the consequences of his actions finally hit him. Choking back sobs waiting for Nicholi to begin screaming at him.
"Lee, did you really think I'd leave you?" he asked disappointedly. Watching the smaller man nod sadly, "You kept saying you didn't want children, I thought you'd leave me, and I didn't want to deal with that." He said.
Bryan having calmed down looked between the pair, and moved to protect Lee should the angry Australian lash out, holding his tall body in front of his smaller friend. "Lee, I hate to say this………..but I'm actually not that upset." He said tensely, hoping that his love would come out from behind the Russian, who was a similar height to himself.
Lee looked dumbstruck, not noticing that the bedroom door had opened and Rei and Kai were watching the exchange interestedly.
"Remember how we met?" Nicholi questioned, Lee stared dumbfounded "Of course I remember how we met, it's not every day that I climb the Sydney harbour bridge," he said (I want to climb the bridge. One day I'll get up there.) Picturing clearly the blonde haired climbing instructor whose ass he had focused on for the duration of the climb.
Nicholi laughed heartily, at the comment, it wasn't an every day occurrence but when Lee stopped in Australia for a few days they usually were climbing up the side of the landscape dominating structure, or climbing up the opera house.
"Remember how I told you that I'd slept with another guy while we were seeing each other because of our little spat?" he questioned again, remembering needing some comfort from his best friend. Looking silently as Lee nodded understandingly. "You forgave me for needing comfort, it's no worse than what I did. I couldn't be mad if I wanted to," he admitted almost sadly, "I love you to much to loose you," he said almost reeling as Lee jumped into his arms and kissed his cheek, hooking his legs around the trim waist.
The three other occupants watch what used to be two people almost merge into one as limbs became undistinguishable as one or the others.
The ringing phone brought them out of their happy little moment. Each looking at the other not knowing who had hooked the phone back up. Bryan moved to answer and raised an eyebrow at the caller ID, what the hell was Tala calling for?
"Hello Tal," Bryan spoke coolly not sure of his captains intentions, almost dropping the phone as moans could be heard down the phone line and panting, breathy sighs. Bryan wasn't sure whether to keep listening or slam the phone down, he slammed it down when he heard the names the red headed Russian was moaning and looked dumb founded and shocked.
Kai walked slowly over, turning the mans face to look at his own, "what was that?" he asked caressing the whiskered face.
"I now know why Tala has taken a liking for going to Scotland," he said giving Kai a haunted and piercing look, as Kai choked on the air he had been inhaling.
Startling the engrossed pair in the middle of the floor enough to separate to help stop him from choking, since that was not a very dignified or pleasant way to die.
Lee looked puzzled and Nicholi looked rather perplexed, not quite sure what had made Kai almost choke on common air, Rei however seemed to find it extremely funny.
"I told you, I told to." He sing songed happily in a small chirpy voice, "red heads seem to gravitate to other red heads," (I find this true, all the red heads I know, date other red heads.) he said giggling, sounding a bit like a hyper child on helium. (Don't go to a birthday party, sugar high kids + helium death for some one)
Kai just glared at his exuberant lover, glad he wasn't sulking or still hiding in the bedroom. "Don't you and Bryan have something to discuss." He said somewhat croakily trying to get his voice back to it's normal sexy tone.
Bryan looked over at Rei who had sobered at the hint, and motioned Bryan towards the bedroom, as he walked his limp seemed to become more pronounced. Bryan looked slightly worried, hoping he hadn't been to rough on his small lover.
When Bryan entered Rei was staring contentedly at the ceiling painted in such a way to mimic the night sky, a special feature that Bryan had put in before he moved in, each star was fibre optic and twinkled when the light was turned off, and a small star would shoot from one side of the room to the other and explode spectacularly exactly above where Rei was laying. That way no matter the situation the occupant who looked up would always see stars.
Bryan sat alongside his small lover ghosting his hand above the gently shifting chest as the younger breathed relax idly. "I'm sorry Rei; I don't know why I said that. I really didn't mean it, please forgive me," he begged eyes glistening with new tears threatening to fall down the tiny rivulets created not long before.
Rei's small hand ghosted over his cheeks, leaning in to wipe away a few stray tears as his golden eyes met the silvery blue of the older Russian. "I know you didn't mean it Bry, it just hurt, thinking that maybe you won't want to deal with me when I get further along, I don't know if I could live if I lost either of you." He sobbed dropping his hand down and hiding his own tear filled eyes.
Bryan gently removed the hand and leaned down, gently placing his lips on the smaller mans, in a butterfly kiss, barely touching, just reassuring as they stared into one another's eyes.
Well that's all for this update folks, hope you enjoyed it. I am taking name suggestions, don't think they are for babies, because they may not be (trying to be cryptic and it's not really working.) Well all suggestions are welcome and thanks for reading. Hopefully in the next chapter I shall introduce Romany and explain a bit more into some other relationships that we may see pop up, but don't hold me to it, the plot changes slightly each chapter.
Anyway hope you enjoyed this bit and please review.
