Brian and Justin made plans.  They were going to travel for the first six months of the year ending up celebrating Brian's 60th birthday in Australia.  While they are away, the family continues to grow and expand.  Nothing can bring down the Taylor- Kinney empire, can it?

Leaning back against the leather headrest, Brian let out a shaky breath, already feeling sweaty and a little disoriented. He realized he had two choices here, both potentially impacting his dignity in a major way. As much as he wanted to try to tough it out the additional half hour, to endure whatever happened next in the comfort of a Four Seasons Hotel suite, the reality of the situation was that Lindsay and Melanie’s neighborhood was much closer. And it was absolutely inevitable that Brian's body was going to revolt sooner than later.

Well, fuck.
