NOW ON WITH THE STORY
Mark's POV
"Honey, why are you so hard on John? You never were before" Sara asked me as she rocked Mikey to sleep.
"Because…" I couldn't think of a good reason "…he's with my Stephie" I pouted
"And he treats her like a queen" she shot down that answer.
"Because he got her pregnant?" I offered a new answer
"He stepped up and is helping her raise those girls. He's not leaving her, you know that" she laid Mikey back down in his crib.
"They sleep in the same bed…" that's a good reason "… do you know what they could be doing in that bed?"
"They could be but they aren't" she stated obviously
"You never know" I argued
"Even if they were, they would use protection"
"Do they even have any?"
"Ya, I went with John to make sure he did"
"WHAT!? Sara, you're not supposed to provoke them" what is she thinking?
"That's not provoking; it's making sure they're safe if they decide to do that"
"I'm gonna go have a little talk with John about…" I was walking out of the door but Sara stopped me.
"Mark, stop it. Why would they do that with their babies in the same room? Remember, that's why we put ours in a separate room. You can have that talk if they decide to put the kids in another room OK" she explained
"Fine, I'm still not gonna take it any easier on John"
"Would you stop that! You love John; you treated him like a son before he got with Steph. You just have this thing against him cause you think he's 'taking' your daughter away from you and you know that's the furthest from the truth. John loves Steph, that's obvious but he could never and would never try to take away the bond that you and Steph share, not that I would want to but I wouldn't even be able to do that" she's always the voice of reason.
"You know what? You're right" I stated, accepting defeat
"You're just now realizing that" she smirked
"Come here" I said and pulled her into one of those fiery, passionate kisses.
Darci's POV
"Hello" I answered my phone.
"Hey Darc" Matt said
"Oh hey Matt, what's up?"
"Could Ken and I come over there and talk to you?"
"You know you don't have to ask that. Any of you guys are welcomed over here anytime you want"
"We know, we just wanted to make sure you're not busy"
"Nope, just watchin tv"
"Alright, we'll be over soon"
"See ya" then I hung up the phone and straightened some things up before they came over. 15 minutes later they walked in the door.
"Hey Ken, hey Matt" I said as I gave them hugs
"Hi" they both said
"Come sit down in the living room" I offered, so we did. "What do you guys need to talk about?"
"How did you handle it?" Ken asked
"Handle what?" I was confused
"People pointing and staring. It's like we're the only people in town that are gay, we just feel so out of place" Ken answered
"You guys aren't the only ones. The majority are afraid to show their affection in public because of that reason. You guys shouldn't feel out of place, you've got so many people around you that love you for who you are. As for the people pointing and staring… fuck 'em. Piss them off"
"How would we do that?" Matt asked
"Well Kim and I would either stare back, kiss or make out or grab each other's butt" they laughed "I'm serious, people stare because they think it's wrong or gross, give them a reason to stare, it'll make them mad because you're showing them that it doesn't bother you" I explained
"And that actually works?" Ken wondered
"You bet your ass it does, start doing that. You get plenty of stories, to think back on and laugh"
"Thanks Darc" Matt stated
"No problem guys. How's the relationship going anyways?" I asked
"Amazing" Ken said and gave Matt a kiss, which caused Matt to get that shit-eating grin on his face.
"Have you guys… ya know…" I raised my eyebrows
"Ummm, ya" Matt blushed. I can tell it's awkward for him, I'm gonna have a little fun. It's what Kim would have wanted :P
"How was it?" I smiled
"Awesome, Matt does this thing where he…" Ken started but Matt smacked his shoulder, it doesn't bother him, obviously.
"What's the matter Matty" I smiled
He glared at me "I've never been really open about stuff like that"
"But it's natural. What did you think of it?"
"Honestly?"
"Ya" both Ken and I said
"Fucking amazing…Ken did… and then he… just, wow" he stated and we all laughed
"Not really open huh?" Ken asked, looking at Matt with one of those 'excuse me' looks
"Well, since you guys obviously don't care about talking about it then why should I be embarrassed?"
"That makes sense" I said "So how many times?" I smirked
"We lost track" Ken stated, I was shocked
"How long have you guys been together now?"
"Ummm, about 8 months" Matt answered
"That's not too bad. You guys keep going strong and don't let other people get to you"
"Thanks Darci" Ken said
"We won't" Matt stated as they left.
Dave's POV
So it's that time of the month, no not the time where Ash is visited by aunt Flow, worse. The time of the month that she wants me to take her shopping. I hate shopping and once a month she has me take her. She always has her own money, she just prefers for me to go with her. And I reluctantly go every time because she wants me to, the things you do for love. Right now we are in Baby Gap, she loves baby shopping. I can't imagine how much she's gonna get if we have kids.
"Do you think Kimmy will like this, and what about this one for Shelly" she held up two different outfits.
"Ash honey, they're only 3 months old, they won't care what they wear" I stated
"OK, do you think Chick will love them?"
"Of course, they have little skulls on them. Why do you call Steph 'Chick' anyways?"
"Whenever I said hi to her I would always say 'hey chick' and she would instinctively respond with 'hey chica' and they just stuck as nicknames"
"Whatever" I said and she continued on her marry way. Half an hour and 4 stores later…
"Let's go into this store" she said dragging me along.
"Which one is it now?" I asked without looking up at the name.
"I don't know, you tell me" she smirked
I looked up and this is a good store "Victoria Secret, nice" I smiled as we went in.
Amy's POV
"So have you thought of any dates yet?" I asked Randy as I leaned up against him and continued watching RAW.
"I'm gonna marry you, I don't want or need to go on any dates" he stated, then I playfully smacked his chest. "Kidding, how about sometime between our birthdates" he suggested
"Why? So it won't be hard for you to remember" I smiled
"No, I didn't mean that. Besides, I could never forget the date that you become my wife" he gave me a kiss
"You're so sweet"
"It's the truth. Hey how about a December wedding, outside"
"It would be freezing" I said obviously
"Ya, but think about the scene. It would be beautiful, but then so would you" he smirked
I thought about what it would look like and he's right it would be beautiful. "Alright, what date?"
"Ummm… the 8th?"
"Sounds good, now we just have to figure everything else out" I sighed
"Ames, we have 5 more months, that's plenty of time"
"There's a lot that goes into a wedding. Do you even know who all is gonna be in the wedding?"
"John will be the best man and the groomsmen will be Dave, Matt, Ken and Jeff. Your maid of honor will be Steph and your bridesmaids will be Ash, Darci and…"
"See, we have to think of 2 more girls or take 2 guys off of your list" which wouldn't happen anyways, I'm just trying to make a point.
"Nobody is getting taken off. If you weren't friends with so many guys then this wouldn't be a problem" Randy joked
"Shut up, we'll figure it out. We've got 5 months"
"But there's a lot that goes into a wedding" he mocked me
"You're really irritating, you know that?" I smiled
"Thank you" he smiled back
"Not a compliment. When are we gonna meet this new chick that Jeff keeps talking about?" I wanted to change the subject
"Next week"
"Why next week?"
"He's taking her to meet Steph first" he said obviously
"Why?"
"I don't know, he just said he wanted Steph to OK her first cause she will be the toughest to please cause if you haven't notice Steph can be a little protective of Jeff. You know what I think it is?"
"Randy, don't worry about it. You always have some feelings for your first love, they both know that, but that's all it is, is leftover feelings" I explained
"Alright"
Steph's POV
"Jeff and Domonique are coming today" I stated as I was feeding Shelly her medicine.
"Stop it" John stated
"What? I just don't want her to be another Beth"
"Momma, he's not that stupid to fall for someone like that again" John stated as he burped Kimmy.
"I hope not"
"You're underestimating him" John said as we walked upstairs and laid the girls back into their cribs.
"If you say so"
"I did say so. So buck up"
"Alright" I said, then John and I laid in bed, we decided to take a little nap to. About 4 hours later mom knocked on my door.
"Hey, I'm gonna go get Jeff and his friend from the airport, I'll be back soon"
"Alright, thanks mom" I said and got up.
"Daddy wake up" I nudged John
"No, I don't wanna. Nice dream"
"Whatever it is can wait, mom just left to get Jeff and Domonique"
You could tell that he was still contemplating on getting up "Fine, but you owe me"
"Maybe" I smirked
"But Mooommmaaa" he whined
"Just get up and grab Shelly, I'll get Kimmy" I said and walked over to them. "Hey girls, your uncle Jeff is coming soon, let's go see him" I said and as soon as we got downstairs they walked in.
"Hey Hun" Jeff said as he walked over to us "Hi Kimmy, hi Shelly" he said and gave them hugs.
"Hey Babe" I gave him a hug
"Hey John, what's up?" Jeff shook his hand
"Nothin much, you?"
"Not too bad. Guys, this is Domonique. Domonique, this is Steph and she's holding Kimmy and this is John and he's holding Shelly" Jeff introduced us all
"Hi" Domonique said. I could tell she was shy.
"Babe, you wanna take Kimmy, so I can get to know Domonique in private" I smiled
"Ummm, ya OK" he said like he wasn't sure if he wanted to do that, so I handed Kimmy to him.
"Let's go out back" I suggested and she followed me.
"So how did you guys meet?" I asked as we sat on the swings. Yes, I had mom and dad buy a swing set.
"I was new at school this year and Jeff was the first person to approach me and show me around" she was still being shy, kind of like she was scared of me.
"What did Jeff tell you about me? Like, did he say I was mean?"
"No, why?"
"Cause it seems like you're scared of me" I stated
"Well he said that you can throw a mean temper"
"Ya, I can. Everyone knows that. I ain't gonna be mean to ya though, you haven't done anything to make me. Ease up; I just wanna know that you'll be good to Jeff"
"Alright" she loosened up "What do you want to know?"
"Well are you guys together?" Jeff kept saying friend, so I wasn't too sure.
"Not yet. We both like each other but we want to take it slow" she smiled
"That's good. What do you know about me?"
"Pretty much everything"
"What?" I was a little irked about that
"Jeff told me on the first day cause nobody likes him at school, they're all mean to him and he said that throughout the day I would find out why. Well I told him to tell me because I didn't want to hear lies because I found out that people at that school exaggerate a lot"
"They do, don't they. Wait, how did they all find out about what happened?" that sucks
"No one knows. Jeff thinks that this Beth chick somehow leaked it"
"I wouldn't doubt it. She's a bitch"
"I heard. You know we have kind of similar pasts"
"Really?" that caught my attention "How?"
"I was abused too, but by my dad" I gave her a hug
"I'm sorry. Did you ever get his ass thrown in jail?"
"Nope, he's a cop"
"That's shitty"
"Ya, he thinks money will make me forget it…"
"…Fuck that, you don't forget that shit" I interrupted
"I know" it was silent for a couple minutes. One of those silences that said, we understand each other, ya know. It was a good silence.
"Have you met the others yet?" I asked
"No, he wanted me to meet you first"
"Why?"
"He said that you'd be the hardest to please. Basically if you approve then I'll have nothing to worry about with the others" she explained, he's right though.
"Gotcha. Well I guess you'll have nothing to worry about with the others then" I smiled
"Awesome. But I gotta ask, what's with the 'Hun' and 'Babe' thing?" she seemed a little worried about it.
"That's what we called each other when we were dating. When we weren't friends we never talked so I never really called him Jeff and when we started being friends again it was just habit. Don't worry about it. It doesn't bother John and things like that usually do"
"OK, I just wanted to make sure I had nothing to worry about"
"Nope. But you gotta promise me one thing when you meet everyone else"
"What's that?"
"Call Matt 'Matty' he hates it. That's why Amy, Ash and I call him that. All the girls in the group do, so now you have to"
"Alright, I'll remember that" she said as we went back inside.
"Good choice Jeff, I like her" I told him
"That's great, so do I"
"That's what I hear" I smiled at them. They stayed all weekend. We all had a lot of fun. Domonique and I had gotten real close. She's like a long lost best friend or something. You should have seen her reaction when she met dad, I rolled on the floor laughing. She kept calling him 'Mr. Undertaker Sir' oh my god she is hilarious. At first she was calling mom 'Mrs. Undertaker' but by the end of the weekend she had finally called them Sara and Mark though. Come to find out, the reason dad didn't like Jeff before was cause he was with me, cause now he's all buddy buddy with him. I gave Domonique my number and told her to call me atleast once a week. I wish I would have met her before. She's gonna fit in so well with everyone.
