If you're going to listen to anything while reading this listen to Hallelujah covered by Ed Sheeran! :)
Ste knew it was going to go badly he just didn't expect Amy to show up a day early and for Brendan to answer the door when he was only wearing his pants but it happened so now he's sitting with a half naked Brendan and a furious Amy
"What do you mean you're back together! Ste what is wrong with you"
"It's different this time"
"Ste, you said that last time"
"No really it's different now"
"I can't believe you, Ste, he's never going to change why can't you get that"
"I did" "I changed and you gave me the chance to and now Brendan has changed"
"I don't want him around my kids"
"The kids love him"
"I don't care I don't want him anywhere near them"
"I wouldn't hurt them, Amy" Brendan who had remained silent up until this point spoke softly from his seat beside Ste
"Like hell you wouldn't!"
"He wouldn't!" Both Amy and Ste now raising their voices "Da, what's going on?" Oisin asked roughly from the doorway with messy hair and his t-shirt on back to front "Go back to bed Oisin" Brendan said swiftly
"The kids heard shouting, they're scared"
"Well go on and tell them everything is fine"
"Is it?"
"Oisin"
"Fine"
"Who's that then?"
"My son"
"Poor kid"
"Amy! Brendan's great with Oisin"
"I'm sure"
"He is"
"Where are the kids?"
"Upstairs, Bren will you go get them" Brendan walked past Amy and went to get Leah and Lucas and to put on some clothes, downstairs Ste and Amy were still arguing "Why would you go back to him Ste!"
"Because I love him"
"So you put our kids into danger because you love him"
"The kids aren't in danger"
"He's dangerous Ste!"
"No he's not, not anymore, he's different now" Brendan chose that moment to walk back into the room now fully dressed and carrying a tired looking Lucas "Mummy!" Leah squealed from behind him, Brendan placed Lucas on the ground so he could also greet his mother "Are going to take them away?" Oisin asked from where he was standing beside Brendan "Yeah, they'll be coming home with me tonight" Oisin ran from the sitting room to his own bedroom with Ste following close behind telling both Brendan and Amy that he'll deal with him
"Oisin" Ste sighed as he sat down beside the crying boy "I don't want them to go either Oisin but she's their mum"
"So?"
"Look they'll be back before you know it"
"Six months Ste six months, that's a lifetime"
"Okay I'm going to let you in on a secret but you have to promise not to tell Brendan I told you"
"I promise"
"Pinky promise?"
"Pinky promise"
"We're going to have a baby"
"Really?" Oisin asked excitedly "Yeah well nothing is official yet and we still have to find a surrogate but yeah you're going to have a new little brother or sister" Ste and Oisin were hugging for what felt like forever until Brendan came to check on them
"You okay, kid"
"Yeah I'm fine now"
Amy cooled down after they had breakfast and then agreed to let the kids come back in six months like they had planned when Amy was still away Brendan and Ste had already said their goodbyes and Brendan even teared up a little although he would never admit it, so now that just left Oisin to say goodbye to his brother and sister "Leah you be good yeah? and stay away from boys, I don't want to have to be battering anybody for giving you trouble just yet" Oisin hugged her and kissed her forehead before kneeling down to talk to Lucas "Hey monkey, give us a smile will ya? Now you look after yourself and work on those abcs and I'll talk to you's later both of you" Oisin hugged Lucas and then went to stand next to Brendan while Ste said goodbye to Amy.
The house was really quiet that night, nobody got any sleep.
Ste and Brendan were watching a dvd in their room since they didn't need to be up with Leah and Lucas when they heard a knock on their bedroom door "Da?"
"Yeah"
"What are you's doing?"
"Watching a film, want to join" Oisin didn't even answer Ste he just jump onto the bed, lying on his front facing the end of the bed.
Twenty minutes later Oisin was fast asleep using Brendan's leg as a pillow "Bren" Ste whispered "Hmm?"
"When are we going to look for a surrogate?"
"We can put an ad in the paper tomorrow"
"Yeah, the sooner the better" Ste leaned over to kiss Brendan on the cheek.
A week later and three people had responded to their ad and after deciding on the woman who would carry their baby, a woman named Jane with Brown eyes and dark brown hair, Brendan thought he should tell Oisin "Oisin we're having a baby"
"I know"
"How do you know!"
"Ste told me"
"Christ, but you're okay with it?"
"Yeah, I like being a big brother it's fun"
Brendan and Ste were waiting for news off Jane to tell them if she was pregnant or not but instead of spending the night staring at the phone like they had for the last couple of days they're going to a talent show at Oisin's school, Oisin may or may not have forgotten to tell them that he was going to be performing in it.
Oisin was nervous, he didn't know why, he was always so sure of himself when he was performing but tonight he was nervous. Oisin walked onto the stage holding his guitar and spotted Brendan, Ste and Cheryl in the audience, he sang 'Hallelujah' he also won.
A week later Jane called confirming that she was infact pregnant, Brendan cried and then told Ste he just had something in his eye.
Oisin had started working in the deli on the weekends and that's just what he was doing when Cheryl walked in
"Are you aloud to be behind the counter?"
"Yeah I'm the owner's son"
"Oi you Brendan doesn't own this place" Ste said while playfully nudging him "I wasn't talking about Brendan" Oisin countered with a grin "Owner's son" Ste said to Cheryl while pionting to himself and then to Oisin.
They told Cheryl about the baby later that day, she screamed and then nearly broke Brendan's ribs by hugging him so hard.
Thanks again for the lovely reviews and I hope my making the boys so sappy isn't annoying anyone :) Please review!
