The next day, Bryan was at home with Spencer after seeing his parents and siblings off at the airport.

"How are you liking this house?" Bryan asked his son.

"Its way bigger than the 'partment" Spencer smiled. "Can I go see if Lorelai can play?"

"Sure, baby. Be careful. I'll watch from the door."

Spencer nodded, putting on his coat and boots before running outside. Bryan leaned against the door as he watched spencer look both ways before crossing the street. Spencer got his friend and they played in the yard for a bit before Bryan had to answer a call.

When he returned, his eyebrows knit together as he saw a newer white car parked in front of the house. He looked closer. He didn't recognize it at all. He quickly called Lorelai's mother and told her to bring the kids inside before heading outside himself. Bryan walked up to the car and knocked on the passenger side window.

The window rolled down and the man inside shuffled some papers. "Is this the Taylor residence?"

"Yes. Who are you?" Bryan snipped.

The older man stepped out of the car and walked around, holding his hand out to shake. "I'm Rodger Sanders.."

"Ian told you to stay away. How did you find us?!" Bryan demanded.

"Look, I didn't come here to hurt anyone. I just want to make this right." Rodger sighed.

"You're a very sick man. Hell, I can't even call you a man. You can't make this right. Now, if you don't leave, I'm calling the cops."

"Please, you have to believe how much I need Ian to forgive me." Robert said seriously.

"You have no idea what you did to him. He hasn't healed from that. I don't think someone can ever fully heal from it. Stop trying. He doesn't want you here." Bryan shook his head and stepped toward the older man. "And if you ever come near my son again, I will make damn sure you wind up back in jail."

Rodger narrowed his eyes at Bryan. "You don't know me.. And you don't know anything about what happened between Ian and I so I suggest you keep your little twink mouth shut."

Rage surged through Bryan. Before he could stop himself, Bryan had stepped forward and punched Rodger right in the nose. Rodger stumbled back, holding his hands over his nose. "Fuck!"

"Leave my family alone. This is your last warning." Bryan growled.

Rodger took a deep breath, looking up at Bryan. "Okay..I deserved that.."

Bryan stood there and crossed his arms. Rodger sighed, removing his hands and revealing his bloody nose. "I'll go. Just tell Ian if he decides to forgive me, I'm here."

"Here? As in.."

"As in my house in Ohio.." Rodger assured, sighing.

"I'll tell him." Bryan said curtly. Rodger nodded, wiping his nose, getting in his car and driving off.

Bryan's hands were shaking as he walked back inside. He leaned against the wall and called his husband.

"Hey, baby." Ian smiled. "How is everything?"

"I have to tell you something. Please try to be calm." Bryan said slowly.

"Is he there?" Ian asked quickly. "Bryan if he's there, I swear to God."

"He was. He's leaving for Ohio now."

Ian clenched his fist, taking deep, slow breaths.

"If I makes you feel any better, I think I broke his nose.."

"What?!" Ian gasped.

Bryan shrugged. "I punched him."

"Holy shit.." Ian whispered before laughing loudly.

Bryan couldn't help but smile. "Kurt would've been very proud."

"Shit, I'm proud of you.." Ian smiled. "I'm coming home."

"Are you sure? You don't have to leave work."

"I want to. Where's Spencer?"

"At Lorelai's." Bryan said softly.

"Okay.." Ian said, smiling. "I'll be home soon."

"Okay. See you soon."

Ian hung up and Bryan sighed softly. He headed over to the neighbors and explained what happened to Lorelai's mother.

"Oh my god.." She said softly. "Is everything okay?"

"Yeah. He's gone now." Bryan sighed.

"Well I'm always here if you need an extra pair of eyes.."

"Thank you." Bryan said sincerely. She nodded and Spencer reached up for Bryan to pick him up. Bryan smiled as he held spencer. "Did you have fun today?"

"I did! We played cops, and then, cooking cops!"

"What is cooking cops?" Bryan giggled.

"When you arrest the bad guys and put them in jail, you have to make them dinner." Spencer explained.

Bryan just laughed. "Well that sounds like a good game. Daddy is coming home early today."

"Really?"

Bryan nodded. "He should be home soon."

"Yay!"

"Do you want to go home and wait for him?"

Spencer nodded quickly. They said bye to their neighbors and headed back home.
"Who was in the white car?" Spencer asked. "Mrs. Pam told me not to ask but.."

"He's just.. A very bad man." Bryan sighed softly.

"What did he do?"

"Honey, I don't think you should know."

Spencer's eyebrows knit together. "Did he hurt someone?"

"Yes sweetie."

"Who?"

"Spencer, I don't think we should talk about this."

Spencer looked down. "Okay.."

"You'll understand when you're older."

Spencer nodded slowly. Bryan kissed his son's head. "He won't be coming back."

Spencer looked up and gave a light smile. "Okay.."

Bryan gasped. "I think daddy just got here."

Spencer perked up, running to the door. Bryan followed and opened the door to great his husband. Ian walked in and smiled as he saw his family. "Hey guys!"

"Daddy!" Spencer grinned.

Ian bent down to pick him up and kissed his cheek. "How was your day?"

"It's was good! We played cooking cops!"

"Cooking cops?" Ian chuckled. Spencer nodded as he explained.
"That sounds fun." Ian smiled before kissing Bryan.

"Are you okay?" Bryan asked.

"I am.." Ian said softly.

Bryan nodded. "I'm going to get some water. Want anything?"

Ian looked at his son. "Why don't you go draw something for Lorelai? I'm going to talk to your Daddy."

"Okay!" Spencer smiled before running off.

Ian followed Bryan to the kitchen before grabbing his hand. "Thank you.."

"For what?"

"For doing what I couldn't.. If I was here.. It wouldn't have been good for anyone."

"He called me a twink. I didn't even think. I just hit him."

Ian's jaw clenched before he relaxed. "Well.. Trust me baby.. You are far from a twink.."

"I know." Bryan chuckled. "He found that out pretty damn quick."

Ian bit his lip, smiling lightly. "He did.."

"He said he was going back to Ohio if you ever decide to forgive him or whatever."

"That's never going to happen.." Ian said seriously.

"I know."

"I'm just worried about Naomi.."

"Kurt and Blaine are there."

Ian nodded, leaning against his husband. "How's your hand?"

"It hurts." Bryan sighed.

Ian grabbed Bryan's right hand and kissed his knuckles softly. "Want me to get you some ice?.."

"Please."

Ian smiled at Bryan, the love obvious in his eyes before he started to prepare an ice pack for Bryan. Bryan watched as Ian pressed the ice against his hand. "Thank you."

"All this time I thought I had to protect our family, and here you are.. Showing me up.." Ian chuckled

"It's an equal effort. That's marriage, honey." Bryan said with a smile.

"I know.." Ian smiled. "I just love you so much. "

"I love you too."

Ian leaned in, kissing him softly.

Bryan smiled. "I wish you could've seen it."

"I really wish I could've." Ian grinned.

"Me too."

Ian simply smiled at Bryan, kissing his cheek.

"Thank you for coming home."

"If I'm being honest, I really just missed you.."

"I missed you too." Bryan grinned.

Ian sighed. "And going two days without having sex with you is torture.." He chuckled.

"Well.. Maybe we can do something about that." Bryan said slowly.

"Hmm..something like what?"

"What are you in the mood for?"

Ian smiled. "You haven't fucked me in a while.."

Bryan let out a small moan. Ian stepped closer to his husband, rubbing up his side. Bryan pulled Ian close by his hips. Ian gasped, looking up into Bryan's eyes.

"I want you so fucking bad."

"How do you want to take me?" Ian whispered, grabbing one of Bryan's hands and putting it on his ass.

Bryan gripped Ian's ass roughly. "I want your legs on my shoulders. Feel me fucking you so deep, baby. You want that?"

Ian let out a short gasp. "Yes. "

"Come on. Let's go upstairs." Bryan whispered. Ian nodded, pressing a quick kiss to Bryan's lips and setting the bag of ice on the counter. Bryan held Ian's hand as they hurried up the stairs. Ian pulled Bryan into the room and kissed him deeply as Bryan fumbled for the doorknob to close the door. He carefully took their clothes off and climbed on top of Ian. Ian looked up at Bryan with loving eyes.

"You're so beautiful, Ian."

Ian blushed, smiling as he leaned up to kiss Bryan. Bryan hummed against Ian's lips as he rolled his body.

"Fuck I missed you.." Ian moaned, rubbing up his back. "Your body.."

"Me too, baby." Bryan whispered. He kissed along Ian's jaw as he reached over to the nightstand to get the lube. Ian let his head fall back, kissing along the inside of Bryan's arm. Bryan gave a loving smile as he slicked up his fingers and pressed them against Ian. Ian gave a shaky gasp, his back arching slightly. Bryan kissed Ian deeply as he pressed one in. Ian whimpered against Bryan's mouth. Bryan smiled at the noise. "Want more baby?"

"Yes.." Ian breathed out, his cheeks flushed dark.

"So beautiful," Bryan whispered as he added another.

Ian gripped Bryan's shoulders, "Bryan." he whispered against his ear.

Bryan moaned loudly. "You ready for me Ian?"

"Yes.." Ian said as Bryan hitched his legs up. Bryan placed Ian's legs on his shoulders and carefully slid into his husband. Ian shivered, a small gasp escaping him.

"Ian.. Fuck.."

"You're so big.."

Bryan stilled when he reached the hilt. "I love you.."

"I love you so much.."

Bryan kissed down Ian's neck as he rolled his hips. Ian let out small gasps and loud whines as Bryan pushed into him. Bryan gripped Ian's ass roughly.

"Fuck.." Ian panted, arching his back. Bryan kissed and nipped at Ian's thigh as he sped up. Ian's eyebrows knit together as sweat beaded on his forehead. "Fuck me, Bryan.."

Bryan gripped Ian's thighs as he slammed into his husband. Ian turned his head, biting down on the pillow and whining loudly.

"Ian.. Oh my god.."

Ian released the pillow and leaned up as much as he could to kiss Bryan. Bryan closed the space between them and kissed Ian deeply. Ian moaned into Bryan's mouth before pulling back and pressing their foreheads together. "Fuck my tight hole, baby.. Ungh.."

Bryan thrust into Ian faster. Ian let out a sharp noise, his eyebrows furrowing as he moaned. Bryan growled deep in his throat as he reached between them and wrapped a hand around Ian's cock. Ian nearly arched off of the bed, breathing out Bryan's name harshly.

"Talk to me, Ian."

"God.. You fuck me so good, Bryan..Ah! God I want your come all over me.."

Bryan moaned loudly. "Oh my god, baby.. Take me.."

Ian whined. "Fuck! I'm so close.."

Bryan sped up. "Me too babe."

Ian looked up at Bryan. "Yes! Ah.. Shit."

"Fuck!" Bryan cried out.

Ian held Bryan's face in his hands and grunted as he started to come. Bryan pumped Ian through his orgasm as he came with his husband.

"Fuck.."

"Amazing." Bryan whispered.

"I needed that.. I feel so relaxed.. And I love you so much..",

"I love you too, Ian. Always."

Ian hummed softly as Bryan cleaned him up and pulled the covers over them.

"Not feeling stressed at all?" Bryan asked.

"Much less stressed.."

"Good." Bryan said as he held his husband close.

"Thank you.."

"For what?"

"Being here, being you.."

"I'll always be here, baby."

"And that means everything to me.."

"Me too." Bryan said sweetly.

"I love you.."

"I love you too."

Ian smiled up at his husband. "We should get back out there.."

"I know. But I want to be here." Bryan giggled.

"Me too. But.. Adult responsibility.." Ian chuckled.

"True."

Ian pressed a soft kiss against Bryan's lips, holding his bottom lip between his own. Bryan gave a soft moan as he looked into Ian's eyes. Ian smiled, squeezing Bryan's thigh as he kissed him again. Bryan smiled wide at his husband.

"Let's get downstairs."

"But I want to make out with you.." Ian pouted.

"A few minutes." Bryan grinned.

Ian nodded, smiling. Bryan leaned in and pressed their lips together. Ian hummed softly, letting their mouths move together. Bryan placed his hand on Ian's hip and sighed happily into the kiss. Ian slowly pushed his tongue into Bryan's mouth. Bryan moaned softly as their tongues danced together. Ian grabbed Bryan's ass roughly, squeezing. Bryan gasped and rolled his hips forward. Ian grinned, biting Bryan's lip. Bryan wrapped his legs around Ian's waist and pulled him closer.

"Getting horny again?" Ian whispered.

Bryan nodded. "It's not hard for you to do that to me."

Ian grinned. "You do the same to me.."

"If you don't stop, we won't make it downstairs any time soon.."

Ian growled, spanking Bryan hard.

"Ah!" Bryan gasped as he arched his back.

"You're so hot.." Ian said before kissing him again. Bryan whimpered as he brought himself closer to Ian. Ian smiled, gripping the soft flesh. "Sorry."

"For what?" Bryan breathed out.

"Keeping you in bed.."

"But I like it." Bryan smiled.

"I know you do.. My slutty boy.." Ian whispered against his jaw.

Bryan's head fell back. "Ian.."

Ian sucked a dark bruise under Bryan's jaw, moaning softly. Ian smiled as he pulled away with a light pop.

"We really should get up." Bryan whispered.

"We should.." Ian sighed. Bryan kissed Ian softly before sitting up. Ian sighed again, smiling at Bryan. "You're gorgeous.."

"Thank you," Bryan said with a smile. Ian sat up and kissed up his back to his shoulder. Bryan sighed softly. "You're very lovey today. I like it.."

"I'm just happy."

"Me too."

Ian kissed Bryan's cheek. "Good."

Bryan turned to look at Ian. "I love you."

"I love you too.." Ian smiled.

"Come on. Let's check on spencer." Bryan said softly.

Ian nodded, standing and getting dressed. Bryan headed to their son's room. "How's your picture?"

Spencer threw his hands over the mess of papers on his drawing desk. "Don't look!"

Ian chuckled. "Okay. We won't look."

"It's a surprise.." Spencer said seriously.

"Okay. We'll leave you alone." Bryan smiled. Spencer nodded, not moving his hands. Bryan couldn't help but laugh as they walked out.

Ian smiled, at his husband. "He's just like you.."

"And you." Bryan smiled. Ian leaned over, kissing Bryan softly. "I can't wait to meet Marisol."

Ian smiled, "I'm so ready.."

"Me too. I'm nervous. But I can't wait."

Ian sighed happily.

"I don't know if I'm going back to work.." Bryan said quietly.

"Why? You want to, baby.."

"I really miss it." Bryan admitted. "But you know how demanding it is. I hardly saw you before. I can't do that to our kids."

"But they'll know that you're out there following your dreams. You have the talent.."

"I'm just scared I won't be home enough. Things are going so well for us. I don't want to mess it up."

"You won't mess it up.." Ian said seriously. "When I was getting the salon set up, it was crazy.. You remember I was never home. But look at us now.."

"But we went through a lot to get there. I don't want to put us through that again."

"But it's your dream baby.. Just try. Go to an audition."

"You think we can handle it?" Bryan asked.

"I know we can.."

Bryan took Ian's hand. "Thank you."

Ian kissed it softly.

"I haven't even looked to see what's happening yet. I really hope I can get an audition."

"You can.. And you will. You and your voice are amazing.."

Bryan couldn't even try to hide his smile. "I'm going to grab the computer."

"Okay.." Ian grinned.

Bryan grabbed their laptop and came back to sit next to his husband. Ian put an arm around Bryan and helped him search.

"It looks like there are a couple of choices." Bryan nodded.

"What are they?"

"Just some off Broadway plays.. But they'd be good to start with." Bryan said.

"When are auditions?" Ian asked.

"Beginning of next month.."

"I think you should do it. Try a couple of them." Ian said.

Bryan nodded, smiling. "I will.."

"Good. I know you can do it."

"But what about the kids? You work too.."

"You'll get your schedule and we will figure it out."

"Okay.."

"If I have to change the days I work, I will. And when I'm home, I can still do some of my work." Ian said softly. "And if necessary, we can get a nanny for a couple of days a week."

"Maybe I shouldn't.." Bryan said softly.

"Why do you think that?"

"I'm just.. There's so much that could go wrong.."

"Or a lot that can go well."

Bryan nodded slowly. "Okay.."

"You can do this. I know it."

Bryan nodded, writing down the addresses of the auditions.

"Bryan?" Ian asked.

"Yeah?" Bryan replied.

"I just want you to know how proud I am of you."

"I really haven't done anything, Ian.." Bryan said softly.

"You've performed in the past. You got through all the shit that happened in high school. We're having a second kid. The list goes on." Ian said with a smile.

Bryan smiled back. "And you helped me though all of it..."

"You helped me too. You made it so I could get here."

Bryan teared up a bit before closing his eyes.

Ian took Bryan's hand. "Please don't cry."

"No, it's good.." Bryan whispered.

"I just love you so much more than I could ever tell you."

Bryan opened his eyes to look at his husband. "I love you too, Ian.."

Ian leaned in to kiss his husband softly. Bryan cupped Ian's cheek, sighing happily.

"We can do this."

Bryan nodded. "I love you."

"I love you too."

Spencer came down the hall, holding his drawings.

"Are you finished?" Bryan asked.

"Yes!" Spencer smiled.

"Can we see?"

Spencer hummed in thought.

"Well?" Ian chuckled.

"Okay." He smiled, holding up the drawing of him and Lorelai.

"That's so good!" Ian grinned.

"We're playing cooking cops!"

"Are you going to give it to her?" Bryan asked.

"I think so.."

"I think she will love it." Ian said softly.

"Really?!"

Bryan nodded. "It's so good."

Spencer smiled proudly at his drawing.

"Are you excited to be starting school again?" Bryan asked.

"I'm nervous to go to the Spanish school.." Spencer said. "What if they don't like me?.."

"They will love you." Ian said seriously. Spencer toyed with the edge of his drawing nervously.

"Hey. You remember how quickly Lorelai wanted to be your friend?" Bryan asked.

Spencer nodded, his eyes downcast.

"That's because you're so cool." Bryan smiled. "The other kids will see that too."

Spencer giggled. "I'm cool?"

"The coolest kid I know!" Ian grinned. "You're even cooler then Zach!"

"No way!" Spencer exclaimed.

"Way cooler!" Bryan nodded.

"I'll make a lot of friends!"

"I'm positive you will." Ian said with a smile. Spencer climbed in his lap and hugged him tightly.
"I love you, Spence."

"I love you too.." Spencer smiled.

"Have you been working on the little bit of Spanish we taught you?" Ian asked.

"Sí!" Spencer grinned.

Ian's eyes lit up as he leaned in and kissed the top of Spencer's head.

Spencer grinned. "I remember house is casa, and bathroom is.. Um.. Baño!"

"That's great!" Bryan smiled proudly.

"Te amo!" Spencer said happily.

Ian hugged spencer tightly. "también te quiero."

"Te quie..do.." Spencer tried, struggling with rolling his 'R'.

Bryan chuckled. "You'll get it, baby."

Spencer nodded, looking to Ian. "Daddy this is a long hug." He giggled.

Ian laughed as he pulled back. "I'm just so proud of you."

"I'm gonna speak Spanish like Mamá!" Spencer said happily. "And you and Aunt Naomi."

Ian nodded. "You'll be so good too!"

Spencer bounced excitedly. "Are we gonna teach my little sister?"

"Yes, we are." Bryan smiled.

"I can help!"

"We would love your help." Ian said.

Spencer looked at his parents. "Daddies.. I'm happy."

"We are too. So happy." Bryan said softly.

"I miss Grampa though." Spencer sighed.

"I know, sweetie. Do you want to call him?" Bryan asked. Spencer nodded. Bryan pulled his phone out and called Kurt.

Kurt answered, smiling. "Hey guys, how is everything?"

"Good. Spencer wants to talk to you." Bryan said.

Kurt grinned. "Alright!" Bryan handed Spencer the phone and Spencer quickly walked off down the hall to talk to Kurt.

Bryan leaned against Ian. "This feels like a dream."

"I know.." Ian sighed, grabbing Bryan's hand and lacing their fingers together.

"I love seeing him like this."

"So do I.."
