Chapter Fifteen
Give Kenny a chance.
Brianna wasn't sure if her words she was kept hearing in her head or her dads'. Either way she was trying her hardest to be nice to Kenny. She had agreed to give him another chance. She couldn't forget everything he had done for while she was waiting for her lung transplant and in the weeks afterwards. Avery looked like she hadn't forgotten him at all. She gave him lots of smiles. After some time with Avery, Kenny and Brianna went to the rec room to play wii bowling. It wasn't long, minutes later and her parents heard the two laughing. A great sign and given the fact they had made him change Avery's diaper (and she had began eating solids a week ago) Drew and Rick agreed Kenny had been punished enough.
Brianna even gave Kenny a hug when he was leaving.
Kenny didn't get a chance to talk to his friends about the situation with Drew's mother. There had been more heated texts to both him and Rick. Phone calls too. Brianna wasn't aware of these, as far as everyone knew. She did know that Drew's parents didn't approve of him being gay. When he told them he married Rick, the relationship got worse. Add to that, Drew's parents didn't think "two men should be raising girls."
What the hell did they know? Brianna thought angrily.
That was strictly because she had walked into the kitchen during one of Drew's calls to Pennsylvania. She was upset for Drew because he looked so sad. Brianna was reassured by both her parents the matter with this one pet of grandparents wasn't for her to worry about and they didn't want her to.
"It does hurt that your grandparents feel the way they do," Drew told her. "But you, dad and Avery make so happy that they really don't matter in the end."
Brianna wanted to say she didn't consider Drew's parents her "grandparents," but she bit her tongue.
Both men were glad their daughters had one set of grandparents. Neither Drew's mother or father were getting near their family.
During his visit with the family Kenny hadn't the chance to talk more about everything going on with Drew's mother. He knew enough from chats with Drew at the hospital. Kenny thought he just stop by the home during the day when Brianna was at school. The nurse didn't want Brianna to hear any more of the situation either. It was a shame she had to overhear what she did. His best friend was a great guy. It wasn't a bad thing he wasn't afraid to show his feelings. Unlike Drew's parents, Kenny believed that was just who the man was, whether he was gay or straight Drew would be that way. There was a lot more pain on Drew's side than his friend would acknowledge. Pain Drew didn't deserve to feel. It was cruel this had to be thrown into what was supposed to be the happiest times in his life. If Lillian Alister ever came to San Antonio, Kenny would her a piece of his mind.
But he would probably e third in line after Syd Jennings and Jordan Alexander.
If Lillian even survived Syd.
