A couple of days later Kyle and Tamara are in Kyle's bedroom when Tamara turns to Kyle. "Baby?" She questions.
"Yeah," Kyle answers.
Tamara grins sheepishly. "You know how I told you that I wanted the gender to be a surprise?" Tamara asks smiling at Kyle.
"Yeah," Kyle replies with a small grin on his face.
Tamara grins at him. "Well I told my mum the other day, and she wants to knit Bubbie a blanket, I know we don't want too many pink things or too many blue things, but my mum wants to knit a blanket either saying little princess or little prince. I'm her only living child and I really want to give her this." Tamara says causing Kyle to smile.
"You're so thoughtful." He says as he leans in and kisses Tamara. "It's absolutely beautiful and yes, we can find out the genders," Kyle says. Although he wanted to wait to know the gender, he was more than happy to find out so that Tamara's mother could do this, not just for them, but for herself. Since Tamara's brother has passed away, she may or may not get another opportunity to do it.
"Thanks, baby," Tamara says as she pulls Kyle in for another kiss.
There's suddenly a bang on the door. "You decent in there lovebirds?" Heath yells through the door. Kyle groans lightly.
"No." He replies. Causing Tamara to hit him lightly on the arm.
"Yeah, Heath come in." She calls, Kyle rolls his eyes, he's not in the mood for his brother.
"That wasn't very nice Kylie," Heath says smirking.
"Yeah well, are you going to be?" Kyke questions.
"Don't be such a girl." Heath huffs. This causes Kyle to glare at him,
"Can we help you with something Heath?" Kyle glares, he wants to change the subject.
"Yeah, us boys are going out. You keen?" Heath asks. This causes Kyle to shake his head.
"Cheers for the offer, but I want to be here in case Tamara needs me," Kyle says, but just then Tamara hits him on the arm.
"I'll be fine Kyle. You go with your brothers." Tamara says and rubs Kyle's back.
Kyle screws up his face and thinks about it. He does want to spend time with his brothers, but he also wants to be with Tamara.
"Come on you girl!" Heath huffs. This causes Kyle to glare at him, but relent and roll his eyes.
"Yeah, I'm keen, Where are we going?" Kyle asks. As he leans back on his bed.
"Some bars." Heath replies causing Kyle to nod.
"Cool," Kyle says, then lies back down. He decides to get some rest before he has to go out.
"Cool, we'll leave in an hour." Heath says grinning, this causes Kyle to sit up and stare at him amazed.
"It's only twelve o'clock," Kyle says shocked. There's no way that his brother is serious.
"Bar hopping baby bro, we're going to get so drunk." Heath grins and then walks out of the room. Kyle lies back down on the bed and groans.
"Ohh relax old man, you'll have fun." Tamara says and then giggles at her boyfriend's annoyed face, she knows exactly what he's thinking. He's thinking that his brothers are going to love getting him drunk, and he's definitely right.
"Yeah sure, because Heath totally isn't going to tease me all night," Kyle mumbles causing Tamara to chuckle.
"Baby, he's your brother. You'll have to get used to him teasing you. He'll never stop." Tamara says, causing Kyle to roll his eyes.
"Thanks, babe, that's really comforting."
Tamara laughs again, then turns serious "So your reunions in two weeks, how are you feeling?" She asks.
Kyle shrugs his shoulders. "The closer I get, the more nervous I get. It's like when I was at school, the last day of the school holidays I was always a mess. Although it's not like my foster home could be considered fun." Kyle says rolling his eyes.
"You've had a tough life baby, it just shows how strong you are." Tamara says as she leans in and kisses her boyfriend. "Now let's have a wee nap, I'm tired." Tamara says causing Kyle to chuckle.
Sounds good." He says as they both nestle down for a sleep.
…
Half an hour later Kyle is woken up by hands gripping his t-shirt and shaking him.
"Whatttt." He moans trying to shove the hands away. But they don't stop, but he then hears laughter.
"Get up Kylie, you have half an hour." Kyle hears Brax order. Kyle moans, he was in such a deep sleep he had completely forgotten about going to town. He opens his eyes and sees all three of his brothers.
Tamara gives him a quick kick when he doesn't get up. "Go Kyle, or they'll just keep annoying you, and more importantly me." Tamara huffs. Stupid Braxton's, she was having a lovely sleep.
Kyle rolls his eyes. "Fine, go away and I'll get ready." He huffs. All three of his brothers leave. Kyle groans and pulls the covers over his head.
"Arghhh." He moans, this causes Tamara to kick him again.
"Go, Kyle! They'll come back."
Rolling his eyes Kyle rolls out of bed and heads towards the bathroom to have a quick shower. He passes his brothers who are all annoyingly grinning at him.
"You're all pains, you know that right?" Kyle huffs and shoves past his brothers and feels one of them ruffle up his hair as he passes.
After a quick shower, Kyle goes into his room and grabs his blue dress shirt and his black jeans. After putting them on Kyle walks over to his girlfriend and gives her a quick peck on the cheek.
"We're leaving in about twenty minutes but I'll leave you to it, babe." Kyle says causing Tamara to smile up at him.
"Thanks, baby. Don't drink too much yeah. I don't want to deal with a hungover boyfriend." Tamara says, causing Kyle to roll his eyes.
"I'll try babe, but I have a feeling that the boys will not allow me to only have a few." Kyle says and rolls his eyes.
This causes Tamara to laugh. "You're probably right baby. Have fun." She smiles causing Kyle to smile down at her.
"You too, enjoy the peace and quiet," Kyle says giving Tamara one last kiss before getting up and leaving the room.
He goes into the lounge and sees his brothers all in the lounge. None of them have changed.
"Are you serious? You all woke me up and told me to get ready and none of you are ready!" Kyle argues causing his brothers to laugh.
"That's because you're a total girl who takes ages to get ready." Casey explains. "We don't take as long." He laughs.
"Speaking of we better go get ready," Brax says, all three of them laughing as they leave.
Kyle rolls his eyes and plummets onto the couch. He doesn't want to go back into his room because he doesn't want to bother Tamara.
Not long after his brothers are ready and the four boys walk out of the house and get into Heath's truck.
…
The four brothers arrive in town and immediately head to a bar. They get themselves at a table and then Brax stands up. "I'll get the first round, Kyle, give me a hand." Brax says causing Kyle to roll his eyes, he pushes himself up.
At the bar, Brax turns to Kyle. "How are you feeling?" He asks.
Kyle furrows his eyebrows, confused at the question. "Yeah I'm okay, Why's that?" Kyle asks.
Brax gives his brother a look. "Your reunion." He says.
"Ohh that," Kyle says and then shrugs. "It is what it is. I just wish that I had a pleasant high school experience." Kyle says as they reach the front of the line.
"Four Coronas please." Brax asks causing the man to nod.
"No worries, just need this young fellas ID." He says. This causes Brax to smirk but Kyle pulls out his ID. He's not going to argue, he knows how much of a pain people can be. He's over eighteen, but he knows he looks younger and there's no way people should risk their business.
The man looks at Kyle's ID, then at him, "Kyle?" He says shocked.
"Yeah?" Kyle says confused, but then he takes a good look at the guy's face. "Tyson, Tyson Bates. Long time no see mate." Kyle says smiling. He then turns to Brax, "Brax this is Tyson, my best in fact only friend from high school." Kyle says introducing Brax to Tyson. "Ty, this is my older brother."
"Brother?" Tyson asks confused. Kyle didn't have any brothers, did he?
"Half brother." Kyle smirks.
Tyson smirks lightly. "I bet you wish he was around when you were at high school." Tyson asks slightly amused, as he passes over the beers.
"Oh definitely," Kyle smirks as he grabs two of the beers.
"Anyways, I'm on lunch in ten minutes, you keen to catch up?" Tyson asks causing Kyle to nod his head.
"Yeah I'm keen, you can meet my other two brothers as well." Kyle smiles.
"Three brothers? Gezz your wedgies would have decreased by 100% at school." Tyson says shocked.
This causes Kyle to laugh out. "See you in a bit Ty." Kyle says and then he and Brax walk over to the table. Kyle passes Heath his beer and then takes a sip of his own.
"Who were you talking to Kylie? Ex-boyfriend?" Heath smirks causing his three brothers to chuckle.
"Best friend from school," Kyle replies. He looks back at Tyson. He looks happy, Kyle can also see that he's filled out a lot, he's no longer the skinny kid he was in high school.
"Was he a nerd too?" Heath asks only to get a punch from Brax. "Oww bloody hell." Heath moans causing Kyle to chuckle.
"Yeah, he was. He got grief from my bullies as well, just not as much as me." Kyle explains as he gulps his beer. He wishes that he made contact with him sooner, he's definitely going to get contact details from him.
"When was the last time you saw him?" Casey asks as he looks at the look on his brother's face.
"High school," Kyle replies. "I left and never looked back, even the good parts."
"Well, you'll be able to keep in contact now." Casey says causing Kyle to smile.
"Yeah definitely."
