The Lion and The Lamb

It was a beautiful morning as the sun was just coming up over the horizon and greeting the new day. Leon woke with the sun as it shown right in his face and woke him from his slumber. Shielding his face from the sun rays, he yawned as he looked around and jump when he came to the left of him. He scrambled out of bed franticly and stood up as he saw Aaron sleeping right next to him. Aaron moaned and out stretched his hand, trying to feel around for Leo but woke to find him standing and looking at him. He gave Leo a sleepy smile and prop himself up on his elbow, yawning and rubbing his sleepers out he gave Leo a greeting-

“Good morning, Leo. Had a good night?” he had forgotten all about yesterday and about how Leon was hypnotized and all his memory about him had vanished from his memory.

“I had a good night’s sleep, until the point that I woke up and found YOU sleeping next to me. Get out of there!” Aaron frowned as he climbed out of Leon’s bed and stood in front of him. “What where you doing sleeping with me last night?”

“I get cold at night,” Aaron replied, “and the sheets that you gave me last night weren’t enough so when I came back from throwing up last night I sneaked in with you, you give off a lot of warmth and you usually keep me warm at night, cause the nights are very cold.”

“Well, don’t let it happen again. I will find a thicker and warmer blanket so you can sleep in your own bed tonight. He then looked at the clock on the table and saw it was fifteen minutes till school started and he walked out of the yurt.

Aaron stared from the doorway as Leon walked this way and that. “Forgot your way to school?”

“Yes.” Leon replied. Aaron sighed and motion for him to fallow him as he treaded off to the left of the yurt and walked his love to school like he was some kind of six year old. “Thank you.” Leon said once that Aaron dropped him off at school and watched as Aaron walked back to the yurt.

For the rest of the day, Aaron stayed inside the yurt and cleaned up a bit, hunt for the next three days and gather fruits and nuts that grew around the home. After all the cleaning and gathering was finished, Aaron got tired but he was all filthy from cleaning on his hands and knees he decided to bath in the pond outside. He slowly got undressed, taking in the scenery. He had been away for such a long time, he forgotten what the pond, the river and the waterfall looked like-it was so beautiful. Once he undressed, he slowly waded into the cool water and over to the falls. He smiled as he felt the water hitting his hands and started splashing the liquid over his face a few times before turning around and washing his hair out. He loved bathing in the pond, but it pained him so of past memories that Leon would probably never remember ever again. Thinking for only a moment of the past and Leo, he shook the thoughts out of his head and grabbed the bar of soap that sat at the waters edge and began scrubbing himself clean.

Leon had just came thought the brush that surrounded his home when he heard splashing coming from the left of him. He stopped and turned to see a beautiful woman rinsing off the suds that lined her body. He stared in aw at her and watched as she moved gracefully though the water, but gasped out and turned away when she turned and discovered that it was Aaron. Aaron thought he heard something behind him and turned to see Leo standing with his back toward him. He sighed, wishing he could see his naked torso and pregnant belly, but he didn’t and waded out of the water.

“Had a nice day?” he asked, taking the towel that he laid out for him and wrapping it around his whole body, so that Leo wouldn’t see his tits.

“Yes, I did.” Leo said. “Your sister and Daniel talked to me a lot about you, they said that you where pregnant?”

“Yes, I am. What to feel?”

“No, thank you.” Leon said embarrassed and he went inside, where he found it spick and span.

“Hungry?”

“Yeah.” and the two sat down at the small table to eat what Aaron had gathered and hunted that day.

That night, Leon stayed up longer then he usually did to make sure Aaron would climb back in bed with him. He sat nicely on his bed and kept an eye on Aaron, who was sitting Indian style on the cold hard wood floor, shivering to the bone.

“Please let me sleep with you?” Aaron begged for the hundredth time, he now couldn’t feel the tips of his fingers or in his toes. “It’s cold and if I don’t get warm, then I might die of hypothermia.”

Leon stared at the freezing boy, who’s teeth where now chattering and gave in. Aaron smile though his chatting teeth and crawled in bed with his love, but only on conditions that they do not spoon or anything else. Aaron frowned, but agreed as he slept separately beneath the covers with Leon.

This continued on for the next month, every time Aaron tried to help Leon remember him, he would push him away and run off to have some alone time. Finally after a month and a half of staying with Leon with very little progressed Aaron finally lost all hope and asked Daniel if he would take him home. Daniel didn’t want him to leave after a month, but Aaron would be expecting his baby in five moths and he had to go to the doctor’s office more often because he was male and there would be more problems with males then there are female pregnancies. But Daniel in the end agreed and took Aaron back home to a grief struck mother and a sorrowful sister, his father was not home cause he was on a business trip across the country. Arriving home, Aaron went straight to his room and locked the door behind him. Sheryl started to worry about her son and her grandchild that was still growing inside him and tried to cokes Aaron out of his room but he refused to come out.

“Aaron, please,” Sheryl called from behind Aaron’s door. “You need to eat something to get your strength up and to feed the fetus.”

“I’m not hungry!” Aaron cried, staring out of the window and waiting to see if Leo would come running up his drive way and saying that he remembers everything about them and sharing a passionate kiss between them. But as the days passed by, he never came.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“You need to remember.” Daniel cried. He and Leo were on their way over to Aaron’s and Karlie’s house to give them some bad news. Over the past few months, Betty tried to get hold of Dr. Gregory Karh at the asylum but only to find out he was discharged and had revoked his medical license for good. After that, he went into hiding and was never heard from again. They’ve tried going to see others like Karh, but all of them sad the same thing-

“It’s nothing like I’ve ever seen before.” or “its non reversible.” all and all, there was no hope for Leon and Aaron to be together again.

“Why do I need to remember?” Leon cried. “Why should I remember? My life is going just fine without him in it.”

“Because he loves you and you love him to.” Daniel argued with him.

“Then why can’t I remember?”

“’Cause you where hypnotize to suppressed that memory and put false ones in to replace them. So please try to remember.”

“No!” and that was the end of that argument.

Daniel soon pulled into the Tix’s driveway and he pulled Leon along up to the front door where Karlie answered it and was happy to see Daniel at the door, but was rather disappointed to hear that there was nothing that could be done with Leo. After Daniel told Karlie the bad news, he asked Leo to go upstairs to talk with Aaron. He didn’t want to but he did and climbed the stairs leading up to his room. Checking every room in the upper level he found Aaron’s room and lightly knocked on the door.

“Come in.” Aaron’s voice called from behind the door, miserably.

Leon slowly opened the door to find Aaron lying in his bed, his back was towards him so he couldn’t see his face but he could hear his sniffles. When he closed the door behind him Aaron turned on his back to see who it was, but he quickly turned back around and didn’t say a word.

“What are you doing here?” he asked.

“Daniel brought me to tell you and Karlie that there is no hope for me. I am stuck the way this are, no matter how much you try to help me, I will never remember.”

Aaron clenched his body up tighter into a ball and tried to hide his tears but they came in waves and he started to sob. Leon could hear his sobs and tried to comfort him by rubbing his forearm, but Aaron just pushed him off him. Leon sighed get up off the bed to leave. Just as he was going to leave, Aaron called back to him and sat up. “Yes?” Leo asked, turning to him who was wiping away the tears from his eyes.

“Here, I’m giving this back to you.” Aaron crossed his room as he said this, taking something off his left finger and handing it to him.

“What’s this?” Leon asked, seeing that it was a big fancy ring that he had seen Aaron wearing it.

“It’s my engagement ring that you gave to me before you’re accented.” Aaron replied, looking away from Leo. “Since you can’t go back to normal, I am giving it back to you. Its seems that we are never meant to be together.”

Leon was speechless as he watched Aaron cross back over to his bed and lay down again. “Well then, I guest this means good-bye.” Leon said, he wanted to leave but he though it rude to not say good-bye, but at the same time he didn’t want to go. Something inside of him told him to stay and comfort him, but he fought that urge off and he exited the room.

“Leo-” Aaron called to him, but it was too late he had gone out of the room and on his way down stairs. “Leon!” and Aaron rushed out of the room, passing his sister on the way out and ran out of the house. “Leon wait!”

Aaron notice a slight deferent’s in Leo’s behavior just before he left and he wanted to see if that spark he had was still there. Leon turned just to see Aaron leaping towards him and wrapping his arms around his neck and planted a lustful kiss over Leo’s dried lips, taking him by total surprise. Leon was left in shock at first but he soon gain all his senses back and tried to pry the young man off him, but Aaron was being too stubborn and wrapped his arms around his neck tighter and tried to force his tongue into Leo’s mouth.

“Aaron,” Leon breathed, trying to push Aaron away but it wasn’t working and Aaron tried to deepen the kiss. “Aaron, get the fuck off me.”

“Never, I will never let you go!” Aaron gasped though the kiss. Leon started to get annoyed and started to use brut force, hitting Aaron’s shoulders he ignored the hits that Leo was giving to him and continued kissing him. He thought if he would kiss Leon long enough he would remember him, but it failed as Leon finally gave one final blow to Aaron’s body and punched him square dead in the stomach. Knocking the wind out of him, Aaron slowly lifted off Leo’s lips and fell to the ground. Holding his stomach, he started to feel the fetus kicking around and he cried out for his sister who came running out of the house to find her brother crying in the drive way.

“Oh my God, Aaron!” and she ran over to her brother, Daniel was on Aaron’s left side on the phone with Aaron’s doctor’s hospital and tried to calm down Aaron a bit. “Leon, how could you?” Karlie gasped, tears where now poring out of her eyes as she looked up at the Lion who had a dangerous look in his eyes and his fist clenched tight.

Lion snapped out of the daze that he was in and stared in horror as he watched as Aaron sobbed his eyes out. That great enough punch that Aaron got to the stomach could kill an one month old fetus, but he didn’t know what damaged his loved cause with own baby. Scared out of his mind Leon ran from the scene, leaving Aaron in pain-physical and mental. The ambulance came within the half hour and three EMT’s then climbed out of the vehicle and rushed right over to Aaron, helping onto the gurney and placed him in the back of the ambulance and quickly rushed him over to the hospital. Arriving there, he was greeted by both Betty and Puma who decided to team up to help find if there were any problems with Aaron and his pregnancy.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Leon had made his way to a park that was not to far from Aaron’s home and cried his eyes out. He was so ashamed for what he just did, he had forgot that Aaron was pregnant but when he first heard about a guy being with child he just laughed, but now he believed it.

“God what have I done?” he sobbed, sitting on a swing and thought of what he just done. He wanted to go to the hospital to apologize to Aaron for what he had done, but after tonight he didn’t even think that he would accept him. Thinking long and hard for the next few hours, he knew what needed to be done. ‘I have to remember.’ he though and he started to walk all around the park just to try to remember, he even tried everything he could think of. From standing on his head to banging his head on the trees, to even sleeping. He tried everything, but he just couldn’t remember. He decided to take a small brake and tried to get rid of the nasty headache he inflicted on himself from too many head banging’s on the park’s trees.

After a half an hour brake, his headache didn’t go away and decided to go to the hospital and try to beg for forgiveness from Aaron and everyone else. For the next few hours he walked around aimlessly trying to find the hospital that Aaron was sent to, but going from place to place wasn’t helping very much and tried to get a hold of Daniel on his cell but he didn’t answer. Leo was on his way to the fifth hospital of the day when he was jay walking about three blocks from it. He looked both ways of the street and crossed, but what he didn’t see was the Ford truck pick-up speeding down the road. With a sharp honk from the pick-up, Leon stopped dead still in the middle of the road like a deer in head lights and watched in horror as his whole false life raced by. The last thing he remembered before blacking out was staring at the driver eye to eye, his face in horror.

Leon woke with a massive migraine, looking around he found himself in a recovery room of some short. He tried to sit up but he sat up too quickly and cause more pain to flow up into his head.

“You shouldn’t sit up,” a nurse said, rushing over to Leon’s bedside and pushing him back down.

“What happen to me?” Leon asked, feeling his head bandage and bleeding and his right arm in a cast.

“You where hit back a truck head on.” she replied. “We though you were a goner, but you proved us wrong. But please, just stay in bed for the next few days, don’t try to get up.”

Leon sighed and looked at the lights to try to remember what happen. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath in and everything came rushing back to him. “AARON!” Leon sat up and groaned as the pain came back to his head and he asked the nurse how long he was out for.

“Three days.” she said and Leon started to take out the needles out from his left arm and climb out of the bed. “Stop, what you think you’re going?!” she asked, trying to hold Leon back but he was too strong for her and passed right by her.

“To find someone.” Leon said and he walked out of the hospital and took a big whiff of the air, trying to find Aaron’s sweet scent but he couldn’t find it so he went back to his home to see if he was back. When he got there, he found no one at home so he sniffed the air around him and picked up on Aaron’s scent again, fallowing it till he had reached a large building where he had been so many times.

Leo sighed as he entered the building, walking up to the front desk where a small little receptionist sat behind a huge desk with her rabbit ears showing. She saw Leo walking up to her and smiled. He smiled back and weakly asked if Aaron Tix was a patient here and if so, what his room number was. She nodded that Aaron was a patient and told Leo that he has on the forth floor-the maternity wing.

“Thank you,” Leo told her and walked over to the elevators and pushed the “up” button. He didn’t know what to say when he would see Aaron again, but he wanted to see him so bad and wanted to apologize. Once he got to the fourth floor he quickly found Aaron’s room and took a deep breath before walking in to find Aaron sleeping soundly in the bed with Karlie and his mother sleeping soundly in their cat forms and Daniel sitting on the chair across from the bed, also a sleep. Leo slowly walked in, hoping that he wouldn’t wake anyone but Daniel woke from his light nap and gaze at him though dagger like eyes.

“What are you doing here?” Daniel spat, readjusting himself on the chair, crossing his legs in front of him.

“I wanted to see Aaron,” Leo replied, pointing over to the sleeping boy. “I came too apologized to him, but I am afraid that it won’t do much good seeing that he’s asleep and all.”

“Well, I tell him that you stopped by when he wakes. Now get out, he doesn’t want you here, neither of us do.”

“How is he doing, I hope I didn’t do any damaged to him.”

“Both my mom or Puma don’t know if there is any damage to the infant, they just have done more tests on him but we won’t know the results till tomorrow afternoon. You hurt Aaron real bad, you know. You hurt him real bad, why did you do that?”

“He was kissing me, and two guys shouldn’t do that. I told him to stop, but when he didn’t I did the best thing that came to mind.”

“So you punched him?”

“Yeah, I thought it was just going to knock the wind out of him, but I forgot he was with child and I got scared and ran away. Listen, I am sorry for what I did. I didn’t mean to hurt him, let alone end up killing his child.”

“Who said anything about Aaron having a miscarriage?” Daniel said, staring up at Leo.

“But, I thought you said…”

“We don’t know for sure till tomorrow.” Daniel repeated. “Now please leave.”

Leon could do nothing but to obey Daniel’s and Aaron’s wishes and left the room, closing the door behind him. He decided to sit and get a little nibble at the cafeteria and sat near the back and waited three hours before he headed back up to Aaron’s room. Stepping back into his room, he found Aaron still asleep in the same position he found him earlier but his family and Daniel where all gone. Leo smiled as he shut the door behind him and walked over to the bed and stand right next to him; taking in his sweet scent he missed and caressed his soft cheek. Aaron moaned and sture, waking from his nap and was taken by surprise by the man he once love standing next to him.

“Get the fuck away from me.” Aaron spat, turning away from Leon and trying to go back to sleep.

“I came to say I’m sorry, that’s all.”

“Apology not accepted.” and he shut the rest of what Leo had to say. “What do you think your doing?” Aaron question him, feeling the bed’s weight get heavy and saw that Leo was climbing into bed with him, propping himself up on his elbow.

“Can’t I keep my love warm on these cold nights?” Leo breathed, “I don’t want you to catch a cold, or the flu.” he then reached around and kissed Aaron’s nose,

‘My love?’ Aaron thought, taking the kiss by total surprise.

“Leo?” Aaron question and turned to face his Ex, seeing a familiar smirk and a lustful glare in his eyes he knew that he was back. Leon’ smirk turned into a big smile and place another kiss over Aaron’s skin, this time he lips. “Leon!” Aaron gasped, opening for Leon and allowing him to plunge his tongue deep into his mouth. Aaron moaned as Leon played and rolled his tongue around his own, twirling it around and sucking on it as if he was sucking on his lover’s cock. Aaron moaned again as he felt Leo’s hand slip under his gown and started stroking his cock, making it erect but he soon got his senses back and he took hold of Leon’s wrist.

“No, Leon…stop. Please.” Aaron moaned, Leon was now sucking, licking and kissing his neck.

Leo groaned, “What is it now? Every time we start going at it, you tell me to stop.”

“I mean it this time. I want some time alone from you.”

“Why?” Leon asked, sitting up on the bed.

“You hurt me real bad, Leon. You hurt US real bad; I even know if you killed it. And I am afraid that you might hurt us again.” tears started to roll down his cheeks and he quickly wiped them away before Leo could notice, but he did.

“Aaron, I promise that I will never hurt you. I am sorry for punching you, but I was hypnotized. You know I would never hurt you, not in a million years.”

“I know, but I need time.” Aaron replied. “So please, just leave. You can come back in a few days.”

Leo just stared at Aaron for a moment before he nodded with a smile and peck Aaron on the lips, fallowed by removing the heavy blanket the hospital gave to him to keep warm and kissed Aaron’s four month old stomach. “I’m sorry,” he said, talking to his child and gave Aaron one more kiss before he left.

Aaron smiled weakly as Leon walked out of him room, but the smile faded quickly as he left and he turned on his left side to ease the pain and nausea that coursed though his veins. After the blow to his stomach, his symptoms and pains that he had increased in size and Aaron was worried that something was really wrong his child. That night Aaron didn’t get any sleep, it was one thing or anther. Between the cramping in his stomach and the vomiting or nausea- plus the headaches- there was no way that he could ever sleep that night.
