Depressing Motives.
Part 17
One Year Later
"We graduate in two days, boys" Reid grinned as he wrapped his arms around Tyler and Caleb's necks. Two days and they were free. Two whole days and they could truly do anything and everything they wanted.
"I know. We also see Pogue and Kate then, too" Caleb smiled at the thought. Finally seeing his best friend after a year, he truly couldn't wait.
"Still can't believe he followed Kate to England. The dude has some serious problems" Reid scoffed as he pushed his way between his two friends and began walking along side them.
"You'd do the same if it was me, and you know it" Tyler grinned.
"You know it, too" Reid replied before lacing his fingers with his boyfriends as they continued walking.
"Hey, boys" Sarah smiled at them as she began to get closer to them.
"No girls allowed" Reid said.
"That rule only applies in the bedroom" Tyler reminded as he kissed his cheek, causing Reid to let a small smile slip.
"Don't you know it" He laughed in reply as the four of them continued to walk down the corridor.
"So what do you lot think, Nicky's tonight?" Reid asked as they began to get closer to the dorm room Caleb and Tyler shared, not that Sarah and Reid didn't practically move in too.
"Without a doubt" Was the response before they turned a corner and came foot to face with a basket outside the door.
"What the fuck?" Tyler asked before bending down and picking it up, "It's a little heavy too. Somebody get the door".
"Caleb unlocked it and everybody piled inside, Tyler entering last and putting the wooden basket down on the bed. Suddenly a little gargle was heard, causing everybody in the room to jump slightly. What the fuck?
"Open it" Sarah instructed while looking at it with wide eyes. No fucking way was it what she was thinking.
Tyler did so without a word and found a note. He instructed Reid to read it as he started at what was inside with wide eyes.
Dear Tyler,
First I would like to apologize for this, but this is the only way I could guarantee the safety for what is inside. Tyler, I would like to introduce you to your son. I didn't name him; I thought I would leave that to you and your current partner, who I am hoping is Reid. If I was to loose you to anybody, in a way, I'm glad it was him.
I know you will take care of your son, and so will your friends. He deserves so much more than I could ever give him, and I know you are capable of what I am not.
Please do not contact me after this, don't reply or send me pictures of him later on in life. As of this moment, I am not his mother, I can't be. I couldn't offer him what he would need. I am giving you him to look after, and I know you won't bring harm to him.
I'm sorry for what I put you through all those months ago, and I hope one day, you can forgive even a little.
Love,
Rachel.
Tyler slowly lifted up the small bundle wrapped in blanket upon blanket. He was tiny. Tyler looked at him and saw his eyes staring back at him. His son had his eyes. His son. "Holy shit!"
"Does that even cover it?" Reid whispered as he stared wide eyes at the mini-man held in his partners' hands.
"Well hold him right, Jesus" Sarah scolded, reaching out to take the baby before retreating her hands.
Without a word, Tyler changed his arms around and held the boy closer to his body, looking at Reid in the process, "how much has changed between us?"
"Enough so now we can call ourselves fathers" Reid grinned before climbing to his feet and looking down at the mini-Tyler below. He truly did have his daddy's eyes.
"You mean…?" Tyler asked, his eyes bulging for the second time in less than fifteen minutes.
"Yes, I mean, this is not going to come between us. There is only two things I need to say to you."
"What are those?"
"One, have you never heard of a condom? Jeez, Tyler, you always wear your gloves and second, what are we calling the little thing?"
Tyler's whole face practically lit up, never before had he felt so much love towards one person and felt so loved by one person in his life.
"Baby names!" Sarah giggled before latching herself onto her boyfriend, who gave her a plain look of don't get any ideas.
"How about Brian?" Caleb asked while looking at the small bundle with a smile.
"Here, this is Uncle Caleb" Tyler smiled down at the baby before placing him softly in the eldest boy's arms.
"He has to have Pogue and Caleb as middle names" Reid pointed out, watching Caleb's smile grow even brighter.
"How about Ashton?" Reid asked randomly.
"I like it. Ashton Caleb Pogue Garwin-Simms" Tyler smirked, watching the realisation play out across Reid's face.
"Hey gu-what the fuck is that?" Pogue asked as himself and Kate walked through the door.
"That is a baby" Sarah giggled as she leapt to her a feet and practically pounced on Kate.
"I realise that. What's it doing here?"
"Ashton, meet Uncle Pogue" Reid grinned as he took the baby from Caleb and walked slowly towards Pogue.
"What the fuck? I didn't think you two had the reproductive system to do this kind of shit."
"We don't. It's a long story. We will explain later. But right now, I fancy going to Nicky's and showing the little brat where he will be hanging out for the most of his teenage life" Reid smirked as the rest only smiled and nodded in response.
"What are we waiting for? Let's go!" Tyler exclaimed.
XXXXXXXXXX
An hour later, the six friends walked into the bar with the baby in hand. They ordered their drinks and took their place at the pool table. Nobody bothered to start a game, their attention was somewhere else.
"So what are you going to do about your step-father?" Pogue asked as he took a sip of his drink.
"That, Pogue, is for another story" Reid grinned in reply.
"What's that?" The voice of Aaron Abbot scoffed as he appeared in front of them.
"Shove off, Aaron" Reid sighed, already preparing himself for a fight.
"Don't panic. I just wanted to say. Well, he's cute. Try not to fuck him up" Aaron sort of smiled before walking away.
"Thanks, Abbot," Reid Garwin smirked, looking at his enemy with a proud glint in his eyes.
The end…
