Ste was shocked, Doug had kissed him, who does that, nobody that's who not even Brendan when he was all mess up he still stopped me from cheating with him and never pushed himself on me like that, Brendan, Oh god what will he tell Brendan, he has to tell him right? It'll just get worse if he doesn't but Brendan will freak no he'll do more than that he'll probably beat Doug up or even worse

Doug didn't understand why Ste had reacted like that he should of been happy that Doug had kissed him that Doug was even willing to take him back after what he had done, leaving Doug for that scum Brendan but Doug had forgiven him because that's what you do when you're in love

Ste was acting off Brendan could tell but he didn't know why, Brendan walked back downstairs after putting Lucas to bed for the third time to find Ste sitting on the sofa looking off into nothing "Stephen" Ste jumped at the sound of his voice obviously startled "What's up with you today, hmm you're acting off" "Doug kissed me today" Brendan didn't say anything he just stared at his boyfriend clenching his fists "I didn't kiss him back I swear I didn't, I pushed him off" Brendan just continued staring at him "I'm so sorry Brendan" Brendan moved closer to him sitting beside him on the sofa "Don't be, you didn't do anything wrong" Brendan put his arm around Ste and pulled him tight against himself "But he kissed me" Ste said beginning to cry "But you didn't kiss him back did ya?" Ste just shook his head no and put his arms around Brendan's waist and let himself be hugged as he cried, Brendan wanted to kill him no Brendan was going to kill him but right now Stephen needed him and he needed to be there for him even if that meant putting his own anger aside for once, he wouldn't have been able to do that if it wasn't for Stephen so now he owed it to him to be there for him when he needed him to

Ste cried himself to sleep that night cuddled up against Brendan's chest, Ste knew he didn't do anything wrong Brendan spent the whole night telling him so but he still felt like he was betraying not only Brendan but the kids aswell they were a family and he had nearly ruined that, he took Doug's side and his son got hurt because of it and all the progress Oisin had been making was nearly lost in one night because of Ste and now he nearly ruined the whole family he could of split them up, if he had kissed Doug back and he nearly did

It's six in the morning and Brendan and Ste are awake before all of the chikdren and that's a first, they're sitting in bed together talking about what had happened the day before "Bren, you can't he's still my business partner"

"I want to make him pay Stephen"

"You're not going to go back to prison because of him Brendan"

"It would be bloody worth it, he kissed you, nobody but me can kiss you"

"So you'd mess up our lives, the kid's lives just because you're jealous"

"You're right, I can't do that to them or you"

"I'll talk to him later and I'll make sure he understands that i'm yours okay?"

"You're not talking to him without me"

"Brendan, I promise I'll ring you if I need to" Brendan pulled Ste towards him and kissed his temple

Ste stormed into the deli without even looking at Doug, he couldn't look at him "Ste look I'm sorry I shouldn't of kissed you okay, that was wrong of me" Doug had done some thinking and he realised he should draw this out more so Ste can suffer just like he did but he knew that in the end he would get him back "Yeah you shouldn't have done that"

"I am sorry and it won't happen again, I understand"

"It better not Doug 'cause I swear if you do"

"Alright alright I get it so are we quits?"

"Fine, just don't let it happen again" Ste still ignored him that day but he feels just as much to blame as Doug, did he miss lead him or something?

Brendan was still angry, he wanted to kill Doug but he wouldn't for Stephen and the kid's sake he couldn't, they deserved more than him but he was trying so if that meant letting some things go meant that he was doing right by them so be it, he loved those kids he really did they were his world and Stephen god did he love Stephen, Stephen and those kids were everything and he wasn't letting a snake like Douglas ruin that for him

Doug had laid off lately and Brendan and Ste have been talking more and more about the future and expanding their family and even opening another business a legit one aswell because Ste is not going to let Brendan go back to prison, he just isn't

Doug had been thinking about the twins, he knew atleast one of them was Brendan's and he had an inkling that it was the boy, Fionn or something like that so that meant that he needed to be gone by the time he and Ste got back together, Doug was in no way going to raise the spawn of Brendan Brady but he was excited to be daddy Doug again to Leah, Lucas and now Lily, everything would be perfect when they got back together, Brendan would be out of the picture and he and Ste could be happy together again.

Okay I want to know what people feel about the boys having another baby, now I'm all for it but I know some people don't like it when couple have too many children and if they had this one that would be eight so if it would bother anyone or if you want them to have more just let me know.
