Hunter rushed into the hospital wing. Randy had called him and told him to come down here as soon as he could. He didn't know what was up. Randy wouldn't tell him over the phone. He just prayed that nothing was wrong with Brian. He didn't know how he would handle that. Bret was already fighting for his life, he didn't want Brian to have to either.

"Hunter." Randy said. "Follow me, we can't talk out here." Hunter nodded and followed him to an examination room. Randy opened the door and Hunter went over to Brian.

"Honey, are you OK?" Hunter ask and Brian nodded.

"Yeah, I'm perfect but we have a situation." Brian explained and then looked to Randy.

"Yeah." Randy agreed. "I believe someone as been putting contraceptives in Brian's food."

"What?" Hunter yelled and ran his fingers through his hair. "First Bret, now you."

"I'm not sure about this but since Brian has never willingly taken any birth control then this would be the only way possible." Randy says.

"In order for me to take any type of action, I need better proof." Hunter says.

"I know." Brian speaks. "Randy, tell them to bring my and Hunter's food here. Tell them you want to run some more test and we won't be able to come upstairs for lunch, then you can test our food."

"Great idea." Randy says. "I'll go call the kitchen right now." Randy then takes his left.

Hunter sighs and shakes his head as he sits next to Brian. "I didn't know we had so many cracks in our system. I'm such a bad king."

Brian wrapped his arms around Hunter. "Don't say that babe."

"I am. My dad ran a tight ship. No one even thought about doing shit like this. My dad was right. I'm way too nice."

"Your dad did rule with an iron fist but that didn't stop the assassination attempts." Brian said. "It just comes with the territory. Someone is always going to be unhappy with the current situation." Brian says as he tries to comfort Hunter.

"I'm going to make this right." Hunter stopped talking as Randy entered the room.

"They'll be down here with the food in a few minutes, just act normal. I'm going to go check on Bret." Randy said and left the king and queen.

Randy walked down the hall to room three. He knocked before entering. Shawn looked up at Randy, eyes red and tear stains on his cheeks.

"Hey Randy." Shawn sniffs and wipes his face.

"Hey, I'm just going to check the general out." Randy answered and went over to Bret. Randy listened to Bret's heart and lungs with his stethoscope and frowned.

"Is something wrong?"

"His heart isn't beating like it's suppose to. He has an arrhythmia." Randy said. "It may straighten itself out. I'll be back and check on him throughout today and tomorrow but if it doesn't go back to normal by tomorrow evening, I might need to give him a catheter ablation. I think this is also causing him to breathe improperly as well. It sounds like parts of his lungs aren't inflating."

"Oh God Randy." Shawn sobbed. "What do you think his chances are? Be honest with me please."

Randy sighed. "Honest, poisons are weird things. Bret is a very healthy man but poisons have killed some of the worlds healthiest people. Poisons are one of those things that really defies all medical logic. With his heath history and how fast you guys got him down here, he should make it but you never know. He's really at the mercy of God now. If God wants him as an angel above, then he'll take him."

Shawn nodded. Randy was right. If God wanted him, he would take Bret away from him. "Thanks Randy." Shawn said and Randy left.

Shawn sat down in the chair next to Bret. He turned in looked in the drawers next to his bed. There was an old beat up bible in one of the drawers. Shawn pulled it out and started to pray. He then that if it was Bret's time, he would ascend into the heavens but Shawn needed to pray. He needed to convince the Almighty one that he needed his husband here, on earth.


"Come in." Hunter said as he heard a knock on the door. The door opened and two servants came in, carrying their food on a tray.

"Doctor Orton said to bring your lunch to you, majesties." One of the servants said.

"Ah yes, he needs to run some more test. Sit it there on the table." Hunter said and they sat the trays down.

"Do you need anything else?" The other servant asked.

"No, thank you very much." Brian answered. The servants bowed and left.

Randy and Josh walked in and grabbed the trays from the table. "We'll run the food, this shouldn't take to long. If you two get hungry in the mean time, that mini fridge over there as all prepackaged food." Randy said and walked out along with Josh.

An hour later, Randy and Josh walked into the room. "It was like we thought. There was an ample amount of contraceptive in both your food and your soda." Randy told Brian.

"But there was also an ample amount of nitrofurans in your food." Josh told Hunter.

"What the hell is that?" Hunter asked.

"Nitrofurans are antibotics, mostly antibacterial. They can treat a wide variety of things like urinary tract infections, diarrhea and other stuff. At first we found this weird but nitrofurans have a side effect. It lowers sperm count which lowers fertility."

"Someone really doesn't you two to have a child." Randy commented.

Hunter ran his fingers through his hair. To say he was made was an understatement. He couldn't believe someone was doing this, sabotaging him.

"We have some serious weeding out to do." Hunter told them.

"Until we find out who is doing this, I'll cook all of the food for us and Shawn." Brian said. He used to work in the kitchen so he new his way around. Hunter agreed.

"Also." Randy pulled out three pill bottles. He gave two to Brian and one to Hunter. "The pills in the yellow bottle with help your system flush out all of the contraceptives and nitrofurans. The second bottle I gave you." Randy turns to Brian. "Will help your body go into normal mode faster and you will be able to conceive quicker. It normally takes three to four months after you stop taking birth control to conceive but if you take the pills like you should, you should conceive in one to two months."

"Thanks Randy and Josh."

"No problem." They both said.

"Also, if you need any help cooking, I know my way around a kitchen." Josh said and left.

Brian looked to Hunter and saw the anger in his face. "How do you want to approach this?"


'Where the hell am I?' Bret asked himself as he looked around. He squinted and put his hand up as he looked toward the bright golden light. It was so beauty and he had to see where it was coming from. Bret started to walk towards it. As he got closer and closer, the light became brighter and brighter. He knew he was almost at the source but he was stopped in his tracts when he felt something tug at his leg. Bret looked down and saw three children looking up at him, two boys and one girl. They all had blonde hair and looked familiar.

"Can you come play with us?" The oldest of the bunch asked Bret. He had short blonde hair.

"Yeah, we need one more person so we can play." The other boy said. He looked to be the middle child. His long blonde hair was pulled up into a nice bun.

"Please." The little girl begged. Her hair was mostly blond but did has some dark streaks peeking out.

Bret looked down at the kids. They all looked so cute, he just couldn't say no. "OK."

The grabbed him and pulled him to the game. He sat down in front of the board game.

"Here." The little girl gave Bret a piece. "You be this piece." The little girl said as she crawled into Bret's lap.

"You roll the dice first." The oldest boy said and gave him the dice.

Bret looked up at the bright light and then back to the kids. He rolled the dice. He could go find the source of that light later.
