Chapter Four
"YOU'RE PREGNANT?!" John Taylor bellowed from the stairs staring at his youngest son.
"Dad, please don't be upset. Me and Brian have talked about this… it wasn't a rushed thing, we've been together for a year and a half and we love each other. We want a family together…" Justin said in one breath again.
His daddy walked over to him and hugged him, drawing him close to his body, slowly but surely dropping a hand to his tummy and felt the small baby bump that was there already.
"How far are you along, baby boy?" Scott said as he soothed his son.
"Over 3 months, we were about to tell our friends tomorrow but you know the mouth that Blake has. So we had to tell them tonight." Justin said as he heard cars pull up to the driveway.
Brian turned towards the door, ready to go and tell the guys in the cars out front that Justin had gone to bed, but John Taylor had beat him to it. He was out of the door before Brian could move from his spot protecting Justin.
Outside
"Excuse me gentlemen," John announced. "But my son and Brian are feeling unwell, so they would like to invite you all for breakfast here at our home. Myself, my husband and our son would like to wish you all a good night." and with that John shut the door and ushered Justin, Brian and Scott in to the library.
He sat Justin and Brian in the love seat in the window, he himself sat behind the desk with Scott standing beside him.
"Well, Mr Kinney, what are you intentions towards my son?" John said, eyeing his son's boyfriend who sat next to his son with no fear in his eyes.
He was used this sort of interrogation from people who wanted him to work for them as an ad man, he just sat on the sofa holding Justin's hand, looking straight at John Taylor and replied:
"Mr Taylor, I love your son and the child that he is carrying. I wasn't brought up by the best men in the world, they were drunks and abusive. I've promised myself that if I ever found the one guy that I was
supposed to be with then I would never drink around him or hurt him. Since meeting your son I have stopped drinking, I only go out to the clubs once a month and I have stopped tricking.
"When this little boy is born I will care and love him like no other. I was abused as a child and I promise that not a single hair on my little boy's head will be harmed. There are several trust funds set up. One for Justin if we ever break up, not that we ever will, and one for my son for when he goes to college."
"As soon as I heard that Justin was pregnant, I changed my will so he is the sole beneficiary to all my wealth. I also have a question I would like to ask you please, Mr Taylor, in private if we may." Brian said, all the while looking at John and Scott whilst holding Justin's hand.
When he asked that if he could have a word with John on his own, Scott and Justin stood and walked into the kitchen to get drinks without any questions about what was going to be discussed between the two dominant men in the library.
"What is that you wanted to ask me, Brian?" John asked as soon as Scott and Justin had left the library.
"I was going to ask if I could have Justin's hand in marriage."
