Chapter nineteen
"Michael, do you remember last night" Brian asked as he made his way down the stairs from his bedroom, tying his robe around himself; telling Justin to stay in the bedroom so he could deal with Michael.
"Yeah, we went out last night, you pulled as per usual and I didn't again as per usual" Michael said as he made himself a cup of coffee from the boiling machine in front of him.
"Michael, we didn't go out last night" Brian said as he made his way to where Michael stood, hoping that Michael didn't go in the bedroom
"Yes we did, you just got so drunk you just don't remember I had to carry you home" Michael said as he started to make his way to Brian's bedroom to see if he could find something to wear to the shop that smelt of the love of his life
"Michael, how about we go to lunch today" Brian asked, panicked that Michael was going to go in the bedroom and see Justin in there.
"Ok … right, better go open the shop. I'll meet you at the diner" Michael said as he left the loft. When he was outside he realised that he had better up his game if he wanted Justin out of Brian's life
Back in the loft
Brian went back to his bedroom, he saw Justin coming out of the bathroom wiping his mouth as if he had been sick
"Hey" he whispered, his throat still sore from being sick
"Hey, I didn't know you can get sick after months" Brian asked, concerned that Justin was still being sick
"It's not your son who made me ill." Justin whispered, unsure on how Brian would react to learning that his friend had made Justin sick
"Oh Justin" Brian said as he made his way over to Justin to hug him but before he reached Justin, he turned around and headed to the bathroom to get ready for his sonogram
While they were in the shower, Brian started to talk
"I was thinking that we need to change the locks after last night but now I'll do it while you're at school. Do you share a class with Blake?" At Justin's nod he continued "I know you'll tell Blake everything; I want him to protect you. We don't know what Michael is capable of to get to me so I'll pick you up every day; and take you every day as well I want you and our son around for a long time" Brian said as his tears were washed down the plug along with the water of the shower.
"I love you so much" Justin said as he also wiped his eyes
When they got out of the shower, Justin stood in profile in front of the full length mirror and looked to see if he was showing yet.
"Baby, that's our son growing in there" Brian said as he started to rub circles on Justin's growing stomach; he found that it calmed all three of them Brian, Justin and the baby
"Yeah… shall we go see our baby" Justin said as he got dressed in his most comfortable clothes. As they made their way to the door, they kissed, ready to go see their growing son.
