One of our readers made a request for stories that involved the immediate aftermath of that tragic bashing of our beloved Justin and how Brian responded to it. I believe it inspired a lot of our writers, including myself. I do hope you will find this story interesting, although I can't say it will be a lot of fun, considering the subject matter. Please keep in mind how things did turn out for the couple later on as you reach the end of this story and don't be too sad.
I want to thank Gloria Hernon for her brilliant suggestion. I also wish to thank my beloved Judy for her beta skills and my beloved granddaughter, Marika, for her amazing banner.

What happened on the way to the hospital.
This story is dedicated to Gloria Hernon. I wrote it today after reading her request for a story about Brian's thoughts during the ambulance ride to the hospital after the bashing.
And to Nichelle, thanks so much for the editing. You're the best.

This series is made up of a bunch of vignette type chapters, based on Brian and Justin's decision to have a baby. I have been wanting to write a (crack style) mpreg story for a while and some of these have been sitting on my hard drive for a while, waiting to be read. The chapters will be in no particular order, but a time frame will be made clear at the start of each new drabble. Some chapters may be longer than others.

AU after Season 4. The year Justin turns 23, he and Brian get the news that over the next year he's going to gradually lose all of his hearing. The series tracks the next years of their life as they manage their new reality, after-effects of the bashing, their eventual move to New York, and their ever-evolving relationship. Told in first-person chapters from their points of view and some outsiders, with some angst, a lot of hurt/comfort, and loads of humor. Never any big relationship drama, always disability-positive, and no one ever takes themselves too seriously.

This is part of a series called "Consequences". The first part is called "Consequences of Snooping", which was inspired by a plot bunny by Deb Tanner.
Brian has been acting strange for several weeks. Michael decides to search the loft while Brian is out of town on business to see if he can find any clues to his best friend's recent behavior. What he finds is a copy of Brian's will. And now he wants to know... just who the hell is Justin Taylor and why is Brian leaving him his entire estate?
Consequences - How Brian met Justin tells you how Brian met his husband. After that one shot, I'll start working on a multi-chapter story to wrap this storyline up.
