Chapter 13

The door unlocked slowly. In stepped Italian brown leather shoes softened by the plush white carpets as he slowly stepped closer to the bed. Dropping his black tie, lab coat, shirt and suite jacket followed as he made his way across the room. Sliding into the bed, roaming his hands up and down Eddward's still sleeping body groaning satisfied with the feeling of the warm body, whispering softly in his ear "There's my darling."

Jumping slightly "Bard?" Eddward called out still only half asleep.

"Let's make a baby together"

Kevin's P.O.V

I wasn't expecting him to wake up calling out his name though. I suppose that's who he was dreaming about, I won't lie and say it didn't hurt, because it did, a lot actually. Maybe it wasn't such a good idea to be sucking him off in his sleep.

"Kevin?! What…" Realizing what he had said. It wasn't helping how thick this awkward moment had just happened, I guess I can't blame the guy, but still.

It was adorable the way his brows would pinch on his forehead while he made soft noises. I had woken up to the noises a little hard myself.

'Shit, I wasn't mentally prepared for this.'

"Kevin, I'm sorry, please say something." He tried to get me to look at him but I turned away. I didn't want to, but I did anyway.

"I…Have to get to work… I'll, I have to go!"

In a blink of an eye I gathered my things and made my way to the door, I didn't even feel myself moving, just found myself outside and looking up at the blue sky.

'Shit, what do I do about this?'

I particularly remember the brown leaf that I crushed under my shoe waiting for the damn elevator to take me down.

'C'mon Kevin, it's just a dream, A dream of the guy he's been running away from for a long time. Like he tried to kill the guy, they … have a history together..'

Looking back at Edd's door I realized that this guy and Edd were trying to form their own family, maybe he's not over Edd?

'Maybe he wants him back. Maybe that's why he hasn't killed him yet.'

"He said he would be back later."

The elevator finally rang out, the doors opened, I tried to step in, but instead I stumbled in, slender arms surrounded me, Eddward's arms.

I turned to him, he was wearing his pajamas, a bath robe and was barefoot, the bandages I had rapped around them were coming undone.

"Kevin please don't leave like this, It was just a memory, he doesn't mean anything to me anymore, please don't be angry with me!"

His black locks were a mess and his eyes were tearful and frightened looking. I couldn't help buy smile and pull him down for a kiss.

'Maybe just a little longer'
The elevator doors had opened at the ground floor, they soon closed as someone had stepped in clearing their throat. We stepped apart, well, actually Eddward was facing me, I faced the doors with my hands still around his waste.

We were going back up again, but it was fine, since Edd needed to get back into his house anyway.

"I'm not mad at you babe, I'm just a little shocked I guess. I have to get to work, and sort through my feelings ok. Gi'mme some time, I'll call you later alright?"

He laid his head on mine, I looked from my view at the person who had stepped into the elevator. It was actually two people.

"Trouble in paradise?" The short young lady exclaimed.
"You must be the couple that moved in not too long ago, hi, my nam'es Brad, This is Sara. We live two floors below you guys."

"E'Scuss me? What… did you say your name was."

"Brad!"

'Oh god that would've been real fucking fantastic if it were Bard, just one letter over, Really?'

Eddward's eyes nearly bulged out of his head, this embarrassing awkward moment just wouldn't come to an end would it?

"Ah, Yes… Yes we are, we just moved in not to long ago. It's uh, very nice to meet a neighbor, in the morning. How do you do? I'm Eddward, This is Kevin" trying to fix himself up we shook hands and then the elevator doors opened again. They were getting off.

'I just really want to get off this elevator man'

"Nice meeting you, um this is our floor, so we'll see you later."

'Fuck my life'

I pressed Edd's floor, then Ground again.

"At the very least we weren't courting" He tried not to smile, but it was already making me laugh too.

When we reached his floor he got off and made me promise that I wasn't angry with him, and that I would call.

"I promise I'll call you babe. I really do have to go now."

"Kevin?"

"Yes?"

"I love you, I really want you to know that."

"I love you too Eddward"

"Finally the doors closed, I hadn't meant for it to sound cold like that, but this was the longest, most embarrassing elevator ride of my whole entire life." My ranting finally came to the end while Nat listened.

I had left my dog with them last night knowing that Rave would take good care of him.

"Listen man, A, that was pretty fucking awesome to be making out in the elevator, like him after you n shit, he really does care about you. B You've told me a couple of times that he seams to have nightmares or wakes up upset about something in his sleep. With this guy coming around I'm sure it's just him being followed in his sleep or somethin' I mean I'd be freaking out too. But at least you guys are safe, Don't run off in the middle of the night light that though, you scared that shit outta me n Rave"

From the other end of the line Nat talking on the phone sounded a little more quiet in the background, he was chuckling a little.

"Did he really say that?"

"Nat! please it was so not funny"

"Actually it was, and still is, and will always be a funny story."

"Why do I even call you?" I was taking up some towels to a room and was cringing to myself all the way.

'How did I get myself into this shit?'

"Because you love me?"

"Nope. G'bye Nat."

"Ha ha ha, Wh?.. dude don't .."

'Did Bard dump Edd? Or was it Edd that dumped him? He tried to kill him so that counts as him dumping Edd right? Right?'

'Actually the most awkward elevator ride I've ever had was with Eddy and Ed before and I got together.'

'What the fuck is this damn slow day?! I just want to go home and shower.'

Once my shift had finally ended I made my way to Nat's to pick up Toby and get home. Showered and got my self a beer plopping myself on the couch. I thought about watching some TV, because that's what I'd always do after I got home, but I was just too distracted to bother paying attention to anything, so Toby and I just played catch in the apartment for about twenty minutes.

"My life has really changed a lot since I've met Edd, I mean, I'm not as lonely as was but there are these really bad people after him. What should I do boy? " I talked to Toby a lot too, he was happy to have me scratch behind his ear, I noticed the weather was changing outside, like it was gonna rain.

When I was a little kid it rained a lot in Ireland where I came from.

"You think ma would like Edd?"

'I want to eventually ask him to marry me, but I don't know what's gonna happen with us right now. We could adopt kids if he wanted, or maybe I could give him a family that we could keep of our own, that would be nice, actually.'

'I don't even think he would ever want to get pregnant with babies ever again, let alone mine'

"Wow, fucking depressing dude" I was tearing and choking up so I had to just move around and get another beer.

I didn't like to cry, even if I was alone. Nat would call me a pussy and laugh for days, I'd never let that happen.

'I'd cry in front of Edd though, he wouldn't think any less of me right?'

"Fuck this, you wanna go for a walk boy?" Toby was ready to go, I changed my clothes, leashed up my buddy and cranked up some music on my headphones.

'I ain't no pansy'

General P.O.V

While the mornings events left Eddward feeling very guilty and sorry for what Kevin's advances to his going had caused him due his reoccurring nightmares, he stayed in his pijamas all day, doing some online browsing about dreams meanings and how to get ride of them as well as reading an article on emotional fallbacks in relationships.

He'd thought back on all the emotional drama he's been budding everyone around him with. Hating and loathing the fact that he was ultimately relying on everyone else to solve his problems. While yes he wanted nothing more than to find the end game with Bard and put the past behind him he feared that by confronting this issue without Kevin's help my cause a rift between them causing their relationship to disappear completely.

Eventually Keinv's shift had ended but he had not called as he promised.

'I must have upset him very much fro him not to call.'

Eventually he sat in the living room with a cup of tea contemplating weather or not he should call him instead.

'How in the name of god he managed to put this couch back on it's feet is beyond me, it's absolutely too heavy'

"None sense, Ed has lifted a car before, Actually Kevin was a captain of his football team so it' isn't so far fetched." He sat there conversing with his cup as thought it was listening.

'May as well take a look in the box.'

He thought. With a huff he seated himself on the ground under the TV stand and pulled out and began to read through the files and note Bard had gone through the trouble of bringing him.

The files contained information about the project, ultrasound images and scribbled notes he'd taken about the unborn. Pleasant memories flooded his mind of how happy he had been when he first heard the baby's heart beat. The serial number printed at the top of each page that represented the baby, not by gender or name. Just a number. His finger tips sliding across the ink slightly feeling a little imprint recalling a conversation he and Bard had about what they would name the baby once it was born.

' "There's no rush, baby steps Eddward darling." ' he mumbled to himself the words he had said once before, believing that a perfect name would come to them at the right time. Bard called him 'darling' all the time, the pet name now bitter even on his own tongue.

After that he quickly skimmed through the files to the last file. This was odd because inside the last fine was a CD titled 'Final Stages' Knowing full well that every thing they had done was already in the files Eddward was a little hopeful that there was something new on it, he was curious to see what was on it.

'I should have purchased a lap top with e cd slot to it.'

With a huff he decided to just buy a cd player later and find out. Lifting the whole box and taking it to his bedroom he noticed the baby onesie again. It was a light green with a soft fiber that would probably have fit the unborn for a few months.

'Kevin believes I'd be a good father, but honestly I don't think I should take on any more human lives under my responsibility ever again. I've done more damage then I could ever repair. I should just leave these people alone.'

Atempting to slide the lid onto the box and slide it in storage on a top shelf in his closet it somehow unfolded at the bottom, dumping it's contents onto the floor.

'DEMON BOX!'

Annoyed he began to fix the box and re place everything back inside again. While doing so he notice a very odd smell. Naturally at first it was a misty smell, but there was a certain familiarity. Cigarettes, the kind that Bard would smoke all the time.

'Why one earth would it smell like that?' He thought.

Bard must have been holding the onsee at some point while he was smoking. The smoke smell must have imbedded itself into the fabric.

Maybe Bard was also missing their unborn? Maybe that was why the smell was so potent, he must have kept it around for a long time.

"It doesn't matter" This past was getting on his last nerve. He quickly stashed the box on the top shelf and walked away.

"If he thinks I'll forgive him for violating me like that, betraying me and tried to kill me. He is definitely wrong, dead wrong in fact!" he angrily puffed over his shoulder in the general direction of the bedroom.

Eddward proceeded to dispose of the broken lamp, mangled coffee table –without it's glass it was useless anyway- to the dumpster at the base of the apartment building. Making a mental note to call for a cleaning service to get the red wine out of the wooden floor.

'And perhaps call Kevin, just to see how he's doing?'

"Looks like rain doesn't it?"
