“Brayden Anthony what in the hell happened here?” his eyes burst open as he leaped out of bed finding his jeans and pulling them on.

“Were are you?”

“Right here mom, can you be a little quieter Lucas is asleep.” Brayden says as his mom comes to meet him in the hallway

“So what he can sleep at home!”

“Mom seriously he needs his sleep, can we talk in the living room please?” She rolls her eyes but holds her hand out in the direction of the living room for Brayden to lead the way.

“Thanks” she just nods

They both settle into the couch and Brayden feels like his heart is going to stop beating

“Well?”

“Well what” his mom eyes the room and then turns back to look at him

“Oh yeah sorry about that, I’ll fix the chain on the door tomorrow”

“Damn right you will, now what’s going on?”

“What do you mean?”

“Lets see I come home to a broken door, clothes thrown everywhere and you look like you’re about to have a heart attack, so spill”

“Lucas is here” his mom gives him a ‘duh’ look and waits patiently for her son to continue. His throat is so dry he can’t swallow and his stomach is on knots. This is the moment that Lucas decides to make his entrance dressed in only his boxers and rubbing the sleep from his eyes smearing what little eyeliner he had left over and making him look slightly like a raccoon.

“What’s going on out here?” Brayden gets up gives him a small kiss and leads him over to the couch

“Hi Mrs. Kirey how are you?”

“I would be better if you could tell me what’s going on because Brayden cant seem to spit it out.” Lucas instantly pales and it doesn’t go unnoticed by anyone in the room

“Baby are you ok?” before he could finish the question Lucas was off of the coach making a mad dash for the hall bathroom. Brayden sighs and then proceeds to follow him

“Is he ok?”

“Uh yeah he has been sick just let me go make sure he is all right” his mother nods and leans back to patiently wait for her sons return.

*Knock knock* “Babe are you ok?” the only response he got was that of Lucas emptying his stomach forcefully followed by a small groan.

“Let me in” a soft click was heard and Brayden proceeded to enter the bathroom shutting the door behind him and began to wet a washcloth. Leaning down he pressed it to Lucas’ forehead and passed him some water as he leaned against the wall.

“Feel any better?” Brayden received an eyebrow raise and a glare that told him how stupid that question really was.

“Do you think we can go talk to my mom now or do you not feel up to it?”

“I think I’m ok now” Brayden helped him to stand and they proceeded out of the bathroom and back into the living room.

“Are you ok dear?” Brayden’s mother asked genuinely concerned for the boys well being.

“Yeah I will be okay Mrs. Kirey, thanks”

“No problem dear, your like my second son”

“Oh and sorry about the door and the mess”

“No worries, I am sure it wasn’t truly your fault” she says sending a glare in the direction of her son, who just rolls his eyes in response.

“Because I am so terrible” the other two people in the room give a small chuckle

“So is anyone going to tell me what’s going on?” the boys stare at each other for a moment before Brayden makes his first attempt at speech which just sounds like he is chocking on a squirrel.

“Is it really that bad?” At this Brayden finally finds his courage and begins to speak

“It’s not bad at all just unexpected and I don’t know how you will react to it is all”

“You know I love you both and you can tell me anything” she spoke softly and moved a little close because she is starting to get really worried it wasn’t this hard to get him to tell her he was gay or to talk to him about being safe with Lucas. Brayden took a deep breath and decided it was better just to get it over with.

“Lucas…Lucas is…” he just couldn’t find the words to tell her.

“What?” Lucas couldn’t take this anymore and ran out of the room trying to hold back the tears that threatened to fall, Brayden gets up to follow him when he is stopped by his mothers hand

“You are not leaving this room until you tell me what’s going on!” he turns

“Lucas is pregnant alright, now let me go I have to make sure he is alright!” Throwing his hand in the direction Lucas ran and glaring daggers at her. She stands there in shock trying to process what she just heard but does what is asked of her and releases her son’s arm.



Brayden’s room



Lucas in sitting over the edge of the bed with his head in his hands when Brayden comes in, he sits next to him and pulls him into a tight embrace.

“We will get through this, I promise okay” he feels Lucas shake his head yes

“Hey” he pulls away from him so that they are staring face to face.

“I love you no matter what I will always be here you don’t have to worry, I promise you…both of you”

“I love you too I am just so scared” unbeknown to either of them Brayden’s mother had been listening to the whole conversation and had never been more proud of her son for the way he was acting it brought tears to her eyes.

*Knock knock* “Can I talk to you boys?”

Brayden mouths “Is that ok with you?” at Lucas who wipes away the tear tracks and nods to the affirmative “Yeah ma, its ok” she cautiously opens the door to reveal her boys and that’s what they were, and they needed her right now she could see that. Granted she was furious that her talks about safe sex seemed to have gone to waste but that was all in the past and right now they needed to be comforted not harassed.

“Mind if I sit?” Both shake there heads no and Lucas stands but is quickly pulled down onto Brayden’s lap as he scoots over to allow his mom room to sit on the bed with them.

“First off, I am furious that our talks about safety apparently went in one ear and out the other however that is all in the past so we will move on and look forward too the new experiences that are about to take place. Okay now Lucas have you told your parents?”

“No ma’am”

“Ma’am, since when do you call me ma’am” she asked taken aback by the formality in which she was addressed.

“I thought it was only appropriate considering the situation”

“What situation? As far as I am concerned we are more family now then ever before”

“I just didn’t know how you would feel about me now so I figured the more polite I am the less likely you are to ban me from seeing Brayden” the look on her face was that of utter shock, then she did something that was completely unexpected and smacked Brayden upside his head.

“Hey what was that for?”

“Two things, one what lies have you been telling him that would make him think that and two” *smack *

“Hey!”

“I can’t hit him for his absurd thinking, he’s pregnant!” Brayden sits like a dejected child and rubs the side of his head expecting some sympathy but all he receives is some stifled laughs from the small boy wonder on his lap and a large grin from his mom.

“Oh knock it off I didn’t hit you that hard!” he makes face and goes back to the conversation.

“Lucas you can call me mom you could have called me mom before, this numbskull here should have told you that ok. Now Do you want me to help you tell your parents?” he nods and lowers his head trying to hide the fact that he is starting to cry but Brayden doesn’t miss it and neither does his mom. Brayden looks at his mother silently asking her to address it, which she does.

“Sweetie why are you crying?”

“I know them they wont understand they will disown me!” he turns into Brayden’s chest and begins to sob uncontrollably. He holds him tight and tries to comfort him as best he can. “I can’t tell them, not only will they hate me but they will kick me out then what will I do?” of course it didn’t sound anything like that between the crying and his face being smashed into Brayden’s chest but they understood most of it.

“You always have a place, right here…with me” Brayden kisses the top of Lucas’ head and looks pleadingly at his mom for her to agree which she does and gives a slight nod while placing her hand on the small boy wonders back. They hear muffled noises emanating from the vicinity of Brayden’s left pectoral. They look at each other quizzically and then turn to the cause of the noise.

“Umm… Lucas sweetie we didn’t quite catch that last bit” he turns his face to the side just enough to let sound escape.

“I said, do you really mean that or do you just want me to stop crying?”

“I mean it… getting you to stop crying is just a bonus” *smirk *

“I love you, you stupid jerk”

“I know, and I love you” this was followed by a very wet kiss more so do to with the fact that Lucas had been crying then anything else.

“Alright how about you two go get cleaned up and I will make us some dinner” both raise an eyebrow at this remark

“Dominick’s pizza or Amore\' Tom’s ?” an eruption of laughter ensues
