Matt's POV
"Matt, I have a question for you" Jeff said as he sat down on my bed.
"What's up?" I asked as I turned around in my computer chair.
"Is it possible, if you've liked one sex since you can remember, for you to all of a sudden start liking another sex?" he's not gay is he? There's no way, he's too in love with Dommy.
"I guess so" I answered
"OK, cause… ummm…" he was stammering
"Jeff, are you gay?" I blurted out
"NO! You know I'm not"
"Then what are you getting at?"
"Well, have you noticed that Dad and Darci have been spending a lot of time together?"
"No, actually I didn't notice. You think something's going on between them that they're not telling us?" I asked
"Maybe. Dommy and I were walking through the park and we saw them walking close to each other and laughing"
"Did they see you?"
"No, we hid behind a bush"
"They were just walking and talking" I stated, that's probably all it was.
"That's not all. They were about to kiss but Dommy sneezed and they stopped then continued walking" Jeff explained
"Well there's only one way to find out if something's going on"
"Spy on them?" Jeff asked
"No, confront them about it… Separately. You go talk to dad and I'll go see Darci"
"Alright" Jeff said as he walked out of my room. So I put my shoes on and went to Darci's.
I knocked on the door and waited for her to answer.
"Hey Matty" she smiled, I hate Amy for that. "What's up?" she asked as she let me in.
"I need to talk to you" I said as we walked into the living room.
"Something wrong with you and Ken?" she asked as we sat down
"No, everything's perfect. I wanted to talk about you"
"OK" she looked confused
"I hear through the grapevine that you may be starting a new relationship"
"Who told you? I mean, what are you talking about?" ahhh, she spilt it.
"So you are?" I smiled at her
"Ya, I suppose you know who it is too" she said, knowing that she was defeated. That was easy.
"I have an idea, but I want to hear it from you"
"Your dad"
"That's great; you guys would be good for each other but…"
"You, Ken and I are a lot alike. I'll swing both ways too" she smirked
"Why didn't you say anything before?"
"I was with Kim; there was no reason to really"
"Last question, how long has this been going on?" I asked, she looked down and didn't answer. That means, long enough that they knew it would work out and they could have told us. "Darc, answer me"
"Well… ummm…" she's stammering, so it's been longer than I thought.
"DARCI"
"3 months" she stated
"3 months and you guys haven't said anything? Why not?"
"Ya, sorry. We just didn't know if it was gonna work ya know. Now we know it will"
"So why haven't you guys said anything yet?" I asked. I wasn't really pissed; I was just a little irked.
"We saw Jeff and Dommy behind those bushes; we knew it would only be a matter of time before it got out"
"OK, but didn't you guys think that some people would be pissed that you didn't tell them to begin with?"
"Like who?" she asked
"Well, those closest to you guys… Steph for one"
"She knows, we did tell her from the start" she stated casually
"OK, what about me and Jeff, he is OUR dad"
"You'll have to take that up with him, he told me not to say anything to you guys"
"I wonder why not"
"He says because the last girl he had, you and Jeff slashed her tires and also put sand in her gas tank"
"We didn't really like her. We wouldn't have done that to you, we love you"
"He didn't wanna take the chance"
"Alright, what about everyone else? Do they know?"
"Ya, the only ones that we didn't tell were you and Jeff"
"Dommy knew?"
"Ya"
"And she didn't tell Jeff?"
"We asked her not to, she kept her promise"
"OK, so do you think dad will spill it if he's confronted about it?"
"I don't know. Why?"
"Cause Jeff's talking to him now about it"
Meanwhile…
Jeff's POV
I waited a while after Matt left, I had to figure out how I was gonna do this.
"Hey dad" I said in one of those 'I know something you don't know' type tones as I sat next to him on the couch.
"Yes Jeffrey" he said. Seems like he knows I have something to say.
"I have a question for you and I would very much like for it to be answered truthfully" I stated
"Depends, what is it?"
"OK, do you have a girlfriend?"
"Why would you want to know?" he didn't say no
"That's a yes"
"I didn't say that"
"But you didn't say no either"
"What's it matter? You guys haven't liked any girlfriend that I've had anyways" he does make a point
"How do you know we wouldn't like this one?"
"I don't"
"Exactly, so how long have you guys been dating?" I asked
"About 3 months"
OK that kinda pisses me off that they haven't said anything yet but I'll keep my cool. "Who is she?"
"Darci"
"I knew it. Dommy and I saw you guys at the park. I knew you guys were together"
"And you like me, don't you?" Darci asked as her and Matt walked into the house.
"Of course I do" I gave her a hug.
John's POV
OK, this is gonna be hard. I want Mark to help me pick out a ring for when I eventually propose but that means that I have to actually ask him if I can marry Steph.
"Mark, can I talk to you?" I asked as I sat on my bed in the hotel room we were sharing. It probably isn't a good thing to be doing this in a room by ourselves; this should be OK, right?
"Sure can, what's up John?" he asked as he sat up in his bed.
"Well, I would consider you like a dad" I stated
"And you're like a son to me" he replied
"That's great. I don't want to do it now but sometime in the future"
"Do what?" he seemed irritated
"Well I want to marry Steph"
"I figured that" he sighed
"So would you be alright with that?" I asked
"You know as well as anyone else that she's my baby and no matter how old she gets, she'll always be my baby but I guess if she has to marry some one, I'm glad it would be you" he gave me a hug
"Thanks Mark and I would very much appreciate it if you would help me pick out a ring for when I do decide to propose"
"I would be glad to" he smiled
A/N: WELL I DIDN'T HAVE TOO MUCH GOING ON IN THIS CHAPTER BUT I AM HOPING THAT THE NEXT CHAPTER WILL BE BETTER :S
