Chapter 8: Sick
Jared sat back as Jackie and Carter yelled at him. He had invited them over while the girls were in school. He had told them his decision. Things were going as smoothly as Jared had expected they would. Neither understood why Jared had decided to give up the custody battle.
"You're insane?" Jackie hollered.
"What the hell have we been doing these last few months?" Carter asked angrily.
"Guys look," Jared started.
"I told you they'd freak," Roldy said from across the room. Noah grabbed his arm pulling Roldy back down to sit beside him.
"Zip it," Jared snapped glaring at his friend. "Look guys, let's be realistic. We don't know the first thing about raising kids, she does. I don't have a stable home life and I will not inflict that upon them."
"Not stable?" Jackie asked confused.
"She's going to take them away from us Jared, we will never see her again," Carter shouted.
"I travel for work Jackie, sometimes on a few days notice. I am not going to put them through that. She has a stable home life and a normal job. She can take better care of the girls," Jared said ignoring Carter. He didn't want to think about that part.
"We can watch them while you go out of town," Jackie said, "it's no big deal. That's why we have a big apartment."
"We leave for months on end sometimes," Jared said, "besides this is my decision."
"We have no say then?" Carter asked.
"No, neither of you are in the custody battle. I'm going to tell Jill and Carly tonight and tomorrow we will settle this outside of court," Jared stated.
"I don't think this is the best thing for them right now, Jared," Jackie said shaking his head. "We just lost mom and dad, they need to be with us."
"No, they need someone who can offer them a stable home and keep them safe. This is the best thing for them. I want what's best for Jill and Carly, even if that means it's not with me. You guys will see eventually, this is all for the best," Jared said.
"Whatever," Carter scoffed.
The apparent door opened drawing the guys attention. Kyle stumbled in. Jared jumped up and met his halfway.
"What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be in school?" Jared asked.
"They sent me home. No one was home so I called my dad and he sent me here. I called you but you didn't answer," Kyle said.
"Why did they send you home?" Jared asked.
"I may or may not have fell asleep in class and the nurse said I have a fever," Kyle said shrugging.
"Fell asleep? Or passed out?" Jared asked.
"Details," Kyle said waving his hand. He glanced over to the couch and his demeanor changed. He must've spotted Jackie and Carter. "Look here's my phone in case my dad calls. He's worried and trying to set up an appointment for me. I'm gonna go lay down," he handed his phone to Jared and ducked past him.
"As interesting as this is, I've got a class to get to," Carter said coolly. He jumped up and grabbed his bag. "Jackie?" He asked looking to his brother.
"Jared just think about this, let's not be rash," Jackie said joining Carter.
"Don't waste your breath Jackie, he's not gonna change his mind," Carter said shaking his head.
Jared didn't say anything. He knew nothing he could say would convince his brothers. They didn't want to believe that he was right. They would see eventually, he was doing the right thing.
Once they were gone, Jared quickly made his way to his bedroom. He saw Kyle had already stripped down and was in bed passed out. Jared sighed as he moved over to his bathroom. He grabbed some Tylenol and a glass of water. He walked back into the bedroom, and sat down on the edge of the bed. Kyle didn't stir once. He was already dead to the world. Jared almost didn't want to wake him up. He gently shook the blonde.
"Wha?" Kyle asked sleepily.
"Here, I've got some Tylenol it might help with the fever and headache," Jared said holding his hand out to the young blonde.
"Thanks," Kyle said taking the pills and glass from Jared. Jared watched him take the medicine.
"Get some rest, I'll let you know if your dad calls," Jared said leaning in and pressing a kiss to Kyle's forehead. "You're burning up," he said mildly surprised.
"I wasn't lying about the fever part," Kyle chuckled softly before he fell into a fit of coughing.
"When did the cough start?" Jared asked.
"Yesterday, it wasn't so bad but today it's worse I guess," Kyle shrugged.
"You need to take better care of yourself Kyle. You're young, you're not invincible," Jared said worriedly.
"It's probably just the flu, I'll be better in no time," Kyle replied.
"That's not the point Kyle, all this lack of sleep and trying to do everything. It's going to get to you, no it is getting to you," Jared said.
"After New York I'll stop," Kyle promised. "I'll take a break and focus on important stuff like school and Sophie and you. The girls too, if they're still around," Kyle said.
"Kyle you know-" Jared started.
"There's still time to ch-change your mind," Kyle replied trying and failing to stifle a yawn.
"Get some sleep," Jared replied.
Kyle just sighed and laid down. Jared moved to get up. Kyle grabbed his wrist. Jared arched a brow at the younger man. Kyle lifted the blanket and looked to the bed. Jared knew exactly what the teen wanted. Jared looked to in the direction of the living room. Roldy was probably fuming out there. He didn't want to deal with that. Jared knew he would regret it later, but he crawled into bed with Kyle.
"If you get me sick-" Jared started.
"I'll nurse you back to health," Kyle replied with a smile as he snuggled into his boyfriend.
Jared's phone started vibrating in his pocket. He sighed and wiggles free of Kyle's grasp. He gave Kyle an apologetic look before answering his phone. He listened as the school nurse told him that both Jill and Carly were in her office sick. They had apparently started puking in class. They needed to be picked up as soon as possible.
"Kyle, I gotta go, the girls are sick too," Jared sighed.
"Did I get the girls sick? I'm sorry," Kyle said quickly.
"No, I got a letter last week saying the the flu was going around school, I'm sure they got you sick," Jared replied. He leaned over a pressed a kiss to Kyle's forehead. "Now get some rest, I'll be back in a little while."
He left the bedroom. He entered the living room and saw Noah and Roldy together sitting on the couch. Jared cleared his throat alerting them to his presence.
"Kyle and the girls are sick," Jared said, "Ro, I'd appreciate it if you could run to the store and get some medicine and soup. Lots of soup."
"On it," Noah said jumping up. He pulled Roldy with him.
-Happy Mistakes-
Carlos looked at his watch once more. He was in the waiting room of doctors office. A therapist's, Dr. Darlene O'Connor's, office. He was sitting alone, waiting for Logan. Their appointment started in a few minutes and Logan wasn't anywhere to be seen. This wasn't surprising to the Latino. Logan was always late and usually had the same excuse.
Carlos looked up at the door before him opened up and a young couple walked out followed by a slightly older lady. They thanked her for everything and left. She looked to Carlos.
"I thought I had another couple?" She said.
"You do, he's running late as always," Carlos said.
"Well I'm Dr. Johnson, but please call me Darlene," she introduced herself.
"I'm Carlos," he introduced himself.
"Why don't we come into my office, my receptionist can send your husband in when he gets here."
"If he even shows up," He sighed.
He followed her into her office. It was big and spacious. There was a desk across the room. There was a few chairs and a couch as well. She gestured for him to take a seat. Carlos sat down on the couch, not sure what to do.
"Why don't you think he's gonna show up?" she asked curiously.
"Honestly, this is a last ditch effort to save our marriage. We've been growing apart for years. He's already signed the divorce papers," Carlos said looking down at the floor. "I think I've already lost him."
"There's still hope," she. said, "I mean you both agreed to this right? That has to mean he's still willing to try and make this work. You also just said he's always late."
"He's a doctor, he picks up extra hours when he's stressed or hiding from his problems. I can almost grunted he'll blame working for his being late," He said.
The office door opened and Darlene's blonde assistant walked in with Logan behind her.
"Sorry I'm late, Lilly's appointment ran late," Logan apologized.
Darlene smiled and introduced herself, "It's quite alright Mr. Mitchell, we were just getting started. I'm Dr. O'Connor, but please feel free to call me Darlene-"
"You're going to appointments with her now?" Carlos asked cutting her off.
"Just while her car is in the shop," Logan replied shrugging.
"Who's Lilly?" Darlene asked.
"Our daughter," Carlos replied, "why are you going to her appointments? I thought she didn't want us there."
"She needed a ride, her car is on the fritz again. Nothing has changed Los," Logan replied.
Carlos opened his mouth to reply, but paused. He looked to Darlene, "I'm sorry."
"Hey, I get paid either way," Darlene shrugged.
"Our daughter Lilly is pregnant and giving up her baby," Logan explained quickly.
"She wants us to have nothing to do with the baby!" Carlos exclaimed.
"Well I mean she's giving up the baby-" Darlene started.
"The father is our best friends son. This kid is going to know us either way, how are we supposed to his sit by and not tell her she's our granddaughter?" Carlos asked.
"How old is your daughter? It seems to me that this is her choice," Darlene said.
"She's eighteen, and I know this is her decision, but she's being unreasonable. This kid is going to know us, our son is best friends with the baby's dad. She demanding that we have nothing to do with the baby," Carlos explained.
"Have you talked with her?" Darlene asked.
"Of course, he's been against this since day one," Logan replied.
"How can you not be against this? That's our grandchild," Carlos snapped.
"Lilly is an adult Carlos. She made her mistakes and now she's paying for that. She has made up her mind and you need to respect her wishes," Logan said.
"I agree, I know you may not like it, but you're her parent and I'm sure she would appreciate you following her wishes," Darlene said.
"I do, I've done nothing but support her, but it just...I thought I was going to have a grandchild and she rips it out from under me and leaves it dangling in front of me and…" Carlos trailed off.
"Carlos, we've talked about this," Logan sighed.
"About what?" Darlene asked.
"He wants a baby," Logan said, "I don't, we've done the whole baby thing."
"Not with Lucas and Miles," Carlos replied.
"You can't make up for lost time by having another baby Carlos, it doesn't work that. What happened with the boys sucked, but we have them now. I get that you're upset, I am too, but...we can't dwell on that," Logan said.
"What happened with your boys?" Darlene asked.
"It's a long story," Logan said curtly.
"They were taken from us shortly after birth. We spent years looking for our son, only to find out that we have two," Carlos said.
"It was so odd especially since Miles was already someone we knew, and we never connected the dots. He was friends with our friend's son. It was...I just don't know how we never knew," Logan said looking down at the ground.
"It must've been hard adjusting," Darlene said.
"It was," Carlos said, "it just leaves me wondering what it would've been like to have the boys the whole time. We missed out on so much."
"And having another baby won't fix that," Logan said slowly, "it won't fix us either."
"I know...you know I've always been the more baby crazy of the two of us...I just...it'll pass, it's just hard with the baby on the way and thinking about not being able to do anything about it," Carlos admitted.
"Ok, I can see we've got a lot to talk about," Darlene said looking between the pair. "If you're both willing, I think I can help you two work this out. You both have to listen and be willing to compromise and do as I say."
"We will try anything," Logan said. Carlos nodded his head in agreement.
They spent the next forty five talking with Darlene and getting everything out in the open. Darlene took notes the entire time and listened to them and forced them to listen to each other.
"Ok, that's all the time we have for today," Darlene said looking at her watch. She rupees two pieces of paper from her notepad and folded them up. "Homework for you two." She said handing them both a piece of paper. "Do not share and I expect this tasks to be done by your next appointment," she explained.
-Happy Mistakes-
Lucas followed Miles down the hallway to their gym class. Miles was talking a mile a minute. Lucas was only half paying attention. His thoughts were elsewhere.
Lucas dreaded gym class. Ever since he had pissed off a couple of the football guys. They were jerks and He didn't stand for that. He tore them a new one after they started picking on a new kid. That had only gotten their attention focused on him.
"Hello! Earth to Lu!" Miles said waving a hand in front of his face.
"Sorry, just thinking," Lucas said.
"Those guys are assholes, the teams really gone downhill since Jake left," Miles said knowing just what was bothering Lucas. "Don't let them bother you."
"I'm not, but it's annoying," Lucas sighed.
"Then tell a teacher or something. Get them in trouble," Miles said as they neared the locker room.
"Their football players Miles, they'll get a slap on the wrist," Lucas said shaking his head.
He entered the locker room and made a beeline for his locker. He was cut off my Harry Tragger, one off the biggest football players. He just grinned at Lucas.
"Hey Lucas, you're in my way," Harry said. He then proceeded to shove Lucas into a locker.
"Tragger!" Miles snapped storming up to the beefy teen. "Leave him alone, just cause you're on the football team doesn't make you a god. You should be more worried about passing math so you can play rather than picking on someone just cause he's smaller than you, and let's face it, who isn't small than you."
"Miles," Lucas said dragging the other teen away from the now enraged football player.
"He had no right-" Miles started.
"I can handle myself," Lucas said glaring at his brother. "I'm not come crippled kid who needs other to fight his battles. I can handle Tragger and his buddies."
"I didn't mean it like that Lu," Miles sighed.
"Whatever, just forget it. Leave it alone Miles. I don't need an even bigger target on my back," Lucas said as he stopped at his locker.
He started changing for class. He knew today was going to be bad. Miles had made sure of it. Sometimes Lucas wished that Miles would shut his mouth.
"Lu?"
Lucas didn't look up at Miles. He was mad at him. It was childish, but he felt justified. Miles sighed and started getting ready for himself. Lucas quickly finished getting ready and headed out to the gym.
-Happy Mistakes-
Kyle paced back and forth. He was in the waiting room with Jared. He was waiting to hear news on his baby girl. Lily had gone into labor and was in delivery now. Everyone was eagerly awaiting news.
"Kyle relax, I'm sure everything is fine," Jared said standing up and stopping the blondes incessant pacing.
"I know, I'm just anxious," Kyle replied.
Finally Logan appeared in the waiting room. He was dragging and there was no smile on his face. That concerned Kyle. He should be happy. Why wasn't he happy? That could only mean one thing.
"What's wrong?" Kyle asked running up to the older man.
"The baby," Logan said slowly.
"What about her?" Jared asked worriedly.
"She-she-" Logan stammered. His voice was breaking. He wasn't able to speak.
Kyle didn't need to hear him say the words. His worst fear had come true.
"What's wrong with her?" Jared asked his own voice breaking. He seemed to have come to the same conclusion as Kyle.
"Jer," Kyle said turning to the older male, tears in his eyes.
"I'm sorry," Logan said shaking his head.
Kyle jolted awake. He sat up in bed looking around wildly. He relaxed as he realized he was in Jared's bedroom. He had had a nightmare.
Everything hit him at once. His body ached and his head hurt. He fell back down on the bed with a groan. Why did he have to be sick?
His mind was still reeling from the nightmare. As much as he hated to admit it, Kyle was afraid of what was coming. Each day that passes meant he was one day closer to becoming a dad. His fears only worsened as the dad went by. Lately he had been thinking about the baby more and more. He was so scared of what would happen next. His brain played games with him. He went though every scenario possible, even the bad ones.
Kyle was startled by a knock at the door. He sat up as Jared walked in. He had a bowl of soup in his hands and a bottle of medicine as well.
"Your dad called and he's got you a doctors appoint the first thing in the morning," Jared said crossing the room. "I made some soup and brought you some cough medicine."
"Thanks," he said giving Jared a small smile.
"How are you feeling?" Jared asked.
"Like crap," he replied. Jared placed a hand on his forehead and frowned. "How are the girls?"
"They're sleeping right now. Jill puked on one of her classmates cause her teacher didn't believe that she was sick," Jared said shaking his head. "I gave them both some medicine and soup and we will see if the fever goes down any."
Kyle nodded his head. He hated that the girls were sick. He felt like it was his fault he hoped that they got over this quickly.
-Happy Mistakes-
Adam watched and Miri and Kenny played with their toys. He felt like crap. His throat hurt, his head aches and his stomach churned. He wanted nothing more than to crawl back into bed and sleep, but he couldn't. He had kids to watch and chores to do. Cooper was in class and wouldn't be home for another hour.
Adam heaved himself up from the couch. He cast once last glance to his children before he started cleaning. It had to get done. He started picking up the toys neither were playing now with and put them away. He then grabbed the basket full of clean clothes and started folding them.
Miri watched home before she decided to try and help. She would grab an article of clothing and attempt to fold it like Adam. She would then throw it on the floor. Adam would grab that and fold it again. They had a routine going and Miri seemed happy to be helping.
Eventually the two finished. Adam smiled at his daughter. She seemed proud to have helped her papa fold clothes. Adam picked her up and gave her a kiss on the cheek.
"Thanks baby girl, papa loves when you help," he said. Miri smiled and babbled at him.
Cooper entered the apartment. Adam set Miri down. She ran over to Cooper holding her arms out.
"Daddy I help!" She exclaimed as Cooper scooped her into his arms in a hug.
"You help?" Cooper asked looking to Adam.
"We did laundry," Adam said looking over to Kenny who had passed out on the floor. He sighed as he walked over to his son. He ached but things needed to get done. He picked Kenny up and brought him over to the playpen. "How were your classes?"
"Boring," Cooper shrugged as he set Miri down. She ran over to her toys. "I couldn't wait to be done. How has your day been?"
"Ok I've got some of the cleaning done, but it feels like everything I do Miri comes behind me and messes it up again," Adam sighed.
"Are you feeling ok? You look a little flushed," Cooper said slowly. He took a stow closer to Adam and placed a hand on his forehead. Adam sucked away from his hand.
"I'm fine, just a little tired I guess," Adam said.
"Addie you're burning up," Cooper said.
"I'm a little under the weather but I'm fine. Things have to get done," Adam replied shrugging. "What do you want for supper?"
He made his way into the kitchen. Cooper followed him. "Adam go lie down, I've got this. I'll wake you when I'm done."
"Coop, I'm fine," Adam replied.
"Please let me handle this, go sit down and I'll cook tonight," Cooper said giving Adam a big smile.
"Fine," Adam said putting his hands up in surrender.
He returned to the living room and turned the TV on. Miri ran over demanding cartoons. He relented and let her pick what they watched.
-Happy Mistakes-
Matt smiled as he watched Penelope move about hid apartment. She was wearing nothing but a tank top and booty shorts. They had grown closer over the months they had been dating. He often found her staying the night at his apartment. She even had a a drawer in his bathroom and in the bedroom. She was currently getting supper ready for them.
He couldn't help but feel so lucky to have found a girl like her. She put up with his BS and called him on it. She was feisty and had her own opinions. She never made him feel stupid for his thoughts and encouraged him to chase the stars. She was everything that he had ever been looking for in a girl.
"Are you ok?" she asked getting his attention.
"Yeah," he replied jumping up. He walked over to her with a smile. "Just thinking about how amazing you are."
She blushed and looked away as he looped his arms around her waist. Leaning in, he pecked her on the cheek.
"How did I get so lucky as to have a girlfriend like you? You're so amazing Pen, I-" He cut himself off. In the the time they had been dating, he couldn't bring himself to say that word.
"You what?" she asked.
He could see it in her eyes. She knew what he wanted to say. She felt the same way, she had told him so several times. Why couldn't he just say it. Taking a deep breath he spoke, "I love you."
"Oh Matty." She threw her arms around him. "I know you do and I love you too."
"I'm sorry I don't say it, it's just the last girl I said it too...well she stomped all over my heart and..." he started.
"I get it, you don't have to say anything else," she said.
"No I do," he said slowly. He led her over to the couch and sat down. She joined him.
"Is this about that girl that the others talk about when they don't think I'm listening," she asked.
He nodded his head. "Her name was Gabriella. I was fourteen and she was sixteen and we dated for almost two years."
"What did she do?" she asked softly.
"Gabby was a spirited person and I thought she was opinionated. You know like she wasn't scared to speak her mind. As time went on her true colors came out. She was verbally abusive and put me down. She would go as far as demanding I spend time with her, making me ditch the guys, and using sex as a weapon. I let her walk all over me and treat me like crap," he explained.
"Whoa," Penelope said softly. She reached out and took his hand in hers.
"We would fight and break up and I would blindly run right back to her. I guess what finally made me realize what was wrong was when Noah admitted that Jace was abusive. It got me thinking and we had one last argument. She tried to force me to dump my friends and I told her no," he said.
Penelope opened her mouth to reply but the fire detector started beeping. She cursed and they both jumped up. She opened the oven and pulled out what had been their dinner.
"Pen, I'm sorry," he said.
"No it's ok, well just order out," she replied. "I'm glad you opened up to me Matty. That took a lot of courage."
"I've been trying to tell you all this for months, but I psyche myself out and I don't want to weird you out," he started.
"It's ok, we've all got our baggage," She said waving a hand.
"Oh really?" Matt asked arching a brow at her.
"Ok why don't you order some Chinese and I'll be right back, to tell this story I need to show you something first," she said walking away.
Matt pulled his phone out and quickly ordered out. He returned to the couch. Penelope joined him again, with a shoebox in her hands. She played with the lid of the box.
"Pen?"
"Ok so I used to be totally dorky back in high school," she said slowly. She opened the shoebox and dug out a picture. She handed it to him. "Braces, glasses, and acne for days."
"Aw Pen, I think you're adorable," he cooed at her. He kissed her on the cheek. "What does this have to do with crazy ex's?"
"So his name was Adrian, and we was a senior when I was a freshman. I was just psyched that an upperclassmen liked me. We went on an awesome date and he asked me to go to a party with him the following weekend," she explained.
"No," he said catching on.
"Yep, I was so stupid and humiliated. It was bring the ugliest girl party," she said hanging her head.
"You're not ugly Pen, not now and not then. He was an idiot."
"I know, but back then I didn't. I lost the braces and got contacts and eventually the acne left. He came back to town and I saw him. He had the gall to ask me out," she said shaking her head.
"Really? What did you do?" he asked curiously.
"I told him I wasn't planning on attending bring the biggest loser party and if I ever was if give him a call," she replied with a smile. He laughed at that.
"You are something else Penelope Daniels," he said smiling at her.
"You're not so bad yourself Matty Tanner," she replied with a wink.
He grabbed the shoebox from her hands and set it on the coffee table. She arched a brow at him. He just leaned in and pressed his lips to hers. She smiled into the kiss. They parted and he pressed his forehead to to hers.
"I love you," he said softly with a big smile.
"I don't think I'll ever get sick of hearing you say that," she replied with a grin of her own.
-Happy Mistakes-
Adam yawned as he made his way to Miri's bedroom. He woke to her crying. He found her sitting up in bed. Her eyes were puffy from crying. Her face was flushed and and almost looked like she was in pain.
"Oh baby girl," Adam cooed. He walked over to her and scooped her up in his arms. He placed a hand to her forehead. She was warm. "I know it's not fun being sick," he said sadly. She must've caught whatever he had.
He grabbed her blankie and carried her to the kitchen. He quickly took her temp and saw she had a fever. He got the children's Tylenol and made her take some. Wrapping her in her blankie, he brought her to his bedroom. Cooper stirred as he climbed back into bed.
"Addie, I thought she was over this?" Cooper asked groggily.
"She's sick," Adam replied as Miri cling onto him.
"Oh," Cooper said sitting up slightly.
"It ok, I've got this, go back to sleep," Adam said shaking his head. Cooper leaned over and kissed Miri's forehead, before returning to sleep himself.
Adam frowned as he watched Miri squirm. He hated seeing her like this, knowing there was nothing he could do for her. He had to let the medicine work. It would be awhile. It was especially awful since he didn't know exactly what was wrong with her.
Eventually Miri stopped squirming. The medicine seemed to be kicking in. Adam just held her close hoping she would get over this quickly. He hated seeing his baby girl like this. She slowly drifted into a fitful sleep. It was gonna be a long night.
-Happy Mistakes-
Jake sighed as he sipped on his cup of coffee. The apartment was silent in the early morning. Jake had just gotten Eli back to sleep. Apparently the infant had thought two in the morning was a good time to eat and play. Eventually he had tired himself out and fallen asleep, but Jake was now wide awake. Dame was still asleep. He had class and Hake didn't want to bother him before his alarm.
Jake say in silence. It was kind of nice to just relax. No baby crying and no Damien complaining or playing video games too loud to make said baby cry. It was nice to relax.
In an hour all hell would break loose. Damien would wake up and start getting ready for his classes. Eli would just know that both his dad's are up and wake up with a dirty diaper. Jake oils have to also get breakfast ready, while trying to soothe a crying infant.
"Jake?"
Jake looked up from his coffee. Damien was standing in the hallway, in nothing but his boxers. He arched a brow at his husband.
"Can't sleep," Jake answered his silent question. Damien walked over to him and sat down beside him.
"What's wrong?" Damien asked.
"Nothing, I just can't sleep. Eli was up for a good hour. I fed him, played with him, and changed him. He should be good for a few hours," Jake replied with a shrug.
"Jake, it's three thirty in the morning and you have a pot of coffee on. Something is up," Damien said eyeing his husband suspiciously.
"I'm fine Day, I just couldn't sleep," Jake said shrugging. "Eli's gonna be up again soon anyways. I figured why go back to sleep? Maybe I could get some cleaning done."
"Cleaning? This apartment is spotless thanks to you," Damien chuckled. He leaned over and pecked Jake on the cheek. "If something ever is bothering you, you can tell me, you know that right?"
"Of course I know that," Jake replied. He turned and pressed his lips to Damien's in a soft kiss. "I love you," he said into the kiss.
"Love you too," Damien replied. He kissed Jake once more. This kiss was more hungry than the last.
Jake turned to face Damien completely. He slipped into the taller males lap. The kiss became a sloppy and tongues clashed. Jake felt his control slipping away. Damien stood up, holding Jakes hips. Jake wrapped his legs around him. His back hit the wall as Damien's lips found his neck.
Jake groaned as he heard a cry from the other room. Damien sighed and let his legs down. Damien pressed his face into Jakes shoulder.
"Give me a minute," Damien said softly, "I got this one, go lay down and get some sleep."
"It's ok, I'll go check on him, you've got class. Go get some sleep," Jake said shoving Damien in the direction of their bedroom.
"No, it's fine," Damien said.
"Damien I'm pumped up on coffee. I won't get sleep anytime soon. You go ahead and go back to bed," Jake said. He gave Damien a peck on the lips.
Happy Mistakes-
Kyle slowly made his way out to the living room. He had gone to the doctor earlier and basically confirmed he had the flu. He had the rest of the week off from school.
Jared was sitting on the couch. He was on his phone, probably emailing his lawyer about the girls being sick. Kyle cleared his throat. Jared looked up from his phone at him.
"Are you ok? Did you need something?" Jared asked jumping up.
"No," Kyle said his voice raspy. He cleared his throat and walked over to Jared. He made him sit back down. "I just wanted to see you."
"Sorry, I've been busy with my lawyer and trying to tend to the girls and you and...I was just taking a minute to see is Sheila had gotten back to me," Jared said.
Kyle snuggled into his boyfriend. "It's ok Jer, I know you're busy and the girls are a handful. I just want to thank you for all that you're doing for us. I really appreciate it."
"It's what boyfriends are for, besides I know you'd do the same for me if I were sick," Jared replied hugging the young blonde close.
Kyle hummed in content. He rested against the older man. His eyes felt heavy. He closed them and just listened to Jared breathe.
"Are you falling asleep?" Jared asked softly.
"'M just resting my eyes," Kyle replied softy.
"Ok then," Jared said as he shifted them so they were laying together on the couch. "I've got a few minutes. I think the girls are finally passed out after all the puking."
"You're making them drink water right?" Kyle asked sleepily.
"Of course, I'm not a noob," Jared chuckled.
Kyle chucked as well. He was always worrying about everyone. It was nice to not have to worry the moment. It was nice to be taken care of.
"How are you feeling? Any better?" Jared asked after awhile.
"Better than yesterday, I think I'm on the downside of this now," Kyle replied.
"Good, just make sure to keep drinking water," Jared said placing an arm around the blonde.
"Sure thing papa Jared," Kyle replied tiredly.
"Papa Jared?" Jared asked slowly.
Kyle sat up and looked at his confused. He saw a smile slowly form on Jared's lips. Kyle grinned as well.
"I like the sound of that," Jared said.
"Good, cause it's only a few more months and we will be dads," Kyle said.
The two lapsed into silence. Kyle rested against the older male once more. He was content just being here with Jared for the moment.
So there you go another chapter done. Kyle, Carly, and Jill are sick! Adam and Miri too! :( Kyle is scared of becoming a dad. What does his dream mean? Is he just being over anxious? Matty and Pen had a heart to heart! Will Jared stick to his decision? Or will he change his mind? Lucas is getting bullied. Can he handle it? Was Miles out of Line?
As always there is more to come. I hope you enjoyed this.
Always
