Chapter 4 

Brinn dropped on her bed and cried.  She cried because her dads didn’t understand her and she loved them so much.  She cried because she was happy for her best friend but felt like she was losing something. She cried for all the time she missed with her mom but if she had been with her she would have missed so much with her dads and with Gus and his family.  She just didn’t know what she wanted anymore.

The next thing she remembered there was a knock on her door, “Brinn, please let me in.”  It was Jamie’s voice that woke her up. She had no idea what time it was but food would be delivered soon and he shouldn’t be out in the hall.  She quickly got to the door and pulled him in.

“Why are you being stupid?  What if the server came with the food?”  

“He just left.  I told Danny I would get you but I wanted to talk to you a minute. Gus would kill me if you got hurt by this scheme. Danny is worth it but your family hanging over me is a little daunting.”  Jamie looked at Brinn closely, “Are you alright with all this? After your meltdown upstairs, you seem …. I’m not sure what’s going on.”

“Neither do I, Jamie. I’m sorry I lost it earlier.  I am thrilled for Danny. He deserves this and it looks like you are enjoying yourself, too.”

“Brinn, if he was two or three years older...he is special.  He is sweet and kind and he has no idea how hot he is. Are you interested in him?”

“Jamie, I am 14 I know about sex.  Everyone around me is having sex and although I have a higher degree than most of them and my brain and body want to have that sensation but then I get reminded I am 14 and it doesn’t help that my dads don’t understand women.”  She stopped talking and took a deep breath, “Let’s go eat and then you make love to Danny, but be careful. His heart is very fragile. Don’t tell him how attracted you are to him, please.”

“I promise. Now let’s go eat.  It smelled amazing.”

“Tony probably made it for us himself. He is an amazing chef even though he is too busy to cook most of the time.”   Brinn kissed his cheek. “I will be up in a couple minutes. I want to wash my face and change clothes.”

Ten minutes later the three of them sat by the small table in the suite.  “How did Tony think the two of us would eat this much food. It’s like they know they are feeding more but I don’t care, this is amazing!”  Danny sighed as he set down his fork.

“Danny, I’m surprised you didn’t eat more. You usually….” Brinn stopped and then realized Danny was nervous.  “I am sure this will heat up really well about midnight. Just don’t microwave it too long or the seafood will be really tough.”

Jamie’s hand had found its way into Danny’s lap and for the first time all day, Jamie turned on the vibration inside of Danny.  He jumped in surprise but after making eye contact with Jamie he relaxed. Soon he was squirming in his seat.

Brinn smiled at him and stood up. She walked around and kissed both of the men as she picked up the pot in the middle of the table.  She walked to the kitchenette and, after putting the pan in the refrigerator, she collected some food before heading to the door. “I won’t be up tomorrow until you contact me and if you want to be alone all day, that’s alright. I have a few things to do and will probably go spend time with Tony and John and the kids.”  With that, she left the room, closing the door behind her.

Both men said goodbye but were already focused on each other. Jamie dropped to the floor and shoved Danny’s chair back.  He unzipped Danny’s shorts and brought his mouth to his briefs, licking his cock through the material. Danny shivered feeling the texture, warmth and moisture on his skin.  Danny’s hands went into Jamie’s hair and gently pressed it against his crotch. Jamie now gently used his teeth through the fabric and Danny cried out.

Jamie moved up to Danny’s lips and  captured them with his hand on the back of his neck.  One of his hands were on Danny’s crotch as his tongue darted in and out of his mouth.  Danny gasped as Jamie’s fingers moved inside the briefs.

Jamie moved away a bit, “Danny, we are going into the bedroom and I am going to touch you…..god, I want to feel you.  If I need to slow down just tell me but, Danny, you are safe. I promise any discomfort you have will soon be pleasure. And the fact that you have had that vibration on your prostate for over an hour, I am guessing you are getting pretty desperate. How about you go in the bathroom and take that thing out and do a quick rinse. If you want to take a full shower you can.  I could join you.”

“No, I would feel better if I rinsed off.  I’ll be out in five minutes.”  

Jamie had lit some candles and undressed by the time Danny came out of the bathroom. He stood naked in the doorway and Jamie took a deep breath. Danny’s skin had a blush to it from the warm shower.  They met midway across the room. Jamie kissed him and led him to the bed. He laid him on his stomach and straddled him. He linked their fingers on either side of Danny’s head and slowly began to move down Danny’s spine.  He kissed and licked. He drug his teeth along it and when he got lower he let go of Danny’s hands and moved lower. This time he didn’t avoid touching his ass. He let his tongue move between his cheeks and as he moved lower he began to gently probe him.  He ran his tongue around rimming him until Danny was nearly incoherent from the sensation.  

“Oh, Jamie, please.  I am ready, I need…”

“Put your knees under you.  Bring them close to your hips, spread apart.”  Danny did as instructed. Jamie slipped on a condom and then lubed up his fingers and his cock. He began by inserting one finger and moving it around.  When it grazed Danny’s prostate he cried out.

“I don’t know how long I can hold it.”

“You don’t have to, Danny. Let yourself go.  Feel every pleasure as it comes and then it will come around again.” With that Jamie focused on Danny. On really feeling him inside and when he slipped over the prostate again Danny climaxed.  As he did Jamie entered him. Danny cried out in pain but was overtaken by an unbelievable feeling deep inside him. As Jamie began to move in and out it was only moments before Danny was moving to meet him.  Soon Jamie began to lose control and as his balls hit Danny’s ass, Jamie lost control followed by Danny cumming again. Jamie wrapped his arm tightly around Danny’s waist and then helped them drop to their sides still joined. 

Danny reached behind him and ran his hand over Jamie’s hip and then turned his head so Jamie’s lips could brush his.  “That was….”

Jamie pressed his mouth to Danny’s again, “Yes, it was.”

Brinn opened her computer and then went to the message from her mom.  Brinn had found a bottle of wine on the counter and opened it. She poured a glass and sat down on the sofa.  She drank the first glass and then looked down at the screen and began to read,

‘Oh Tia,

I was so excited to get your message.  You obviously are as brilliant as ever to think of calling your grandmother to get information.

Tia, how are you?  I know you graduated  from college this spring. I have been keeping track of you the best I can.  

I see Gus is married and has a couple kids and I know that John and Tony moved out there with your brother.  I miss Matty, too, but I know he doesn’t want anything to do with me.

Tia, can we talk on the phone? I want to hear your sweet voice. I bet you have even started your period by now.  I wish I could have been there for you when that started. I am sure Brian and Justin weren’t much help when it came to that.  Maybe Gus’ wife is nice. I think she was your teacher, wasn’t she?

Oh, Tia, please contact me soon.I love you, darling.  I want to see you.

Love you,

Mommy’

Brinn drank another glass of wine while she reread the message.  She started writing,

‘Mom,

I am so glad you got the message.  My dads can’t know I contacted you.  I am so sorry they had you put in jail last time.  That’s why they can’t find out this time. I am going to have to get a disposable phone before I can call you.  

Yes, I do get my period and you were right, Brian and Justin were not much help.  You better than most realize they don’t understand women!

I would love to talk to you about lots of stuff.  I don’t know what to do next month. I don’t know what school to consider or if I should paint for a year. 
Mommy, I will email again soon and hopefully in a couple of days I will have a phone I can call you on.

I love you so much and I have missed you.

Tia’

Brinn closed the computer and turned on a movie and started drinking right out of the bottle.  By the time she finished it, it dropped on the floor and she passed out.

The men had all taken full advantage of the remote surprise the first half hour but as they ate there were just intermittent surprises. After an hour they all handed the remotes to the waiter who returned with them in 4 small bags.  He handed one to each of the men along with their desserts. They all took a couple seconds to program the new remote they were given. As they finished their sweets, Marcus was nearly crawling onto Dan’s lap and then Justin’s on the other side. Justin grabbed him and kissed him and then pulled him up on his feet.  Brian and Dan watched their husbands on the dance floor. Dan moved next to Brian and kissed him.  

“I think we’re lucky this is a gay friendly environment or we may get thrown out for indecent behavior.  God, they’re hot. Have you thought more about switching partners? I have to admit I have always wondered how sweet it would be to be buried deep in your husband’s ass.  Now I don’t want you to think I dwell on it. I mean look at Red. He is so beautiful. I still can’t believe he wants to be mine. I kind of worry that one day I will come home and he will be gone.”

Brian kissed his friend, “I don’t think you have to worry about that.  Marcus only has eyes for you although right now it appears he has my husband’s ass.”

“Actually, I have Justin’s ass in my hands right now,” Dan pulled out the remote and pressed it to high, and Justin nearly dropped to his knees.

“Well, if we are playing that game,” Brian pulled out his remote and Dan looked out at Marcus but instead he nearly doubled over.  At the same moment Brian reached over and squeezed Dan’s crotch.  

Dan whimpered. “I think, who am I kidding? I can’t think with my ass feeling like that.  Fuck me, Brian let’s go to the bathroom and find an empty stall.”

“I would take you up on that, Dan.  But it is up to my husband who I screw. But let’s get them over here and decide what we are doing the rest of the night.  I think we all need a break or just a party in the suite.” Remote roulette was even getting to Brian.  

Justin and Marcus were starting to lose all inhibitions.  Dan watched them for a moment. “Let’s take our husbands to the bathroom.  None of us are going to make it to the hotel. I need to feel Marcus…..” Dan took a deep breath to regain control.  “Maybe tomorrow we can talk about playing, right now I just want my husband.”

Brian smiled at his friend, “The sound of a man who is truly in love.”

“You never doubted that, did you?”

“No….oh, shit, I don’t know which one of them have my remote but I would almost bet it is Sunshine… No, you have loved Marcus from day one but you do seem awfully interested in Sunshine’s ass lately.”

“Well, I have been watching that ass for years and since it has kept your attention for so long, I wanted to see what was special about it.”

“Dan, what’s special about it is it is Sunshine’s.  Just like Marcus’ ass is special because it is attached to him.  Now I have no doubt Marcus is an amazing lover. I have seen you two in action but, unless they have other plans, let’s shut these things off,” he put the remote on the table and turned it off.  Dan audibly sighed at the relief.

Dan turned off his remote and Justin actually jolted on the dance floor.  His head turned and looked at the table and then took out the remote he had and turned if off.  Marcus followed and the two men walked off the dance floor. Dan and Brian stood and each took their husbands close, kissing them. 

“Sunshine, do you mind if I take you back to the suite and make love to you for the next  four to six hours, just the two of us?”

“How could I mind that? I brought a paddle or two and I …. God I want to feel EVERYTHING! And as long as you are there I don’t care who else is.”  Justin nearly climbed Brian and kissed him so long and so invasively, Brian nearly stripped him right there.  

Brian broke away from Justin and dropped four $100 bills on the table and then pushed Justin out of the restaurant, followed by Dan and Marcus. By the time they got outside, Dan pressed Marcus tightly against the SUV as he slipped his hand between them, grabbing his crotch.  Brian and Justin had already gotten in the back seat and Justin’s pants were loose. Brian held onto his cock as his hand moved down the back of Justin’s pants and he was manipulating the vibrator and somehow slipped a finger in next to it. 

Brian brought his mouth next to Justin’s ear and said, “How much can you take tonight?”

“As much as you can dish out.” 

“Do you need to sit tomorrow for any reason?” Brian licked along his jaw.

“I think I could stay in bed all day! Just so I can fly home on Monday.” Justin brought his mouth to Brian’s throat and began to suck and lick and when his tongue dipped below Brian’s collar he made a noise low in his throat.

“This truly is not fair,” Marcus complained from the front seat as Dan maneuvered through the streets back to the hotel. Dan refused to let Marcus touch him because he wasn’t sure he would be able to stay on the road.

As they pulled up to their lodge, all four men fell out of the vehicle and as they entered the lodge, as clothes started to fly, Justin and Marcus shared a kiss that got both Brian and Dan so hot they picked up their husbands, said goodnight and carried them into their respective rooms.

Danny was like a new person.  He wanted Jamie to show him everything at once.  They laid in bed and teased each other until they were ready to explode and then Jamie put his knees on either side of Jamie’s head and they both began to taste each other. Their tongues licked and teased the other’s cocks and soon Danny practiced deep throating Jamie and when he pulled his hips even further down and Jamie felt the back of Danny’s throat, Jamie exploded.  He started to back away expecting Danny to choke but he held him in place enjoyed every drop. Jamie then went to work on Danny and he reached around and inserted his finger into Danny’s ass causing him to cum. 

It was after 2:00 a.m. before Danny and Jamie faced each other wrapped in each other’s arms and fell asleep. They both slept soundly against the feel of the other’s body.

Justin lay on his stomach with a smile on his face.  His ass was fury red and Brian was licking the valley between his cheeks.  The heat of Brian’s tongue stung but Justin didn’t care. Brian dipped into Justin’s asshole that had been well used and abused.  He could taste himself inside.

“I want to cum again but I don’t think I have any giz left in me,” Justin shivered as Brian pulled away.  Brian got up but came right back with something in his hand.  

“Relax, Sunshine, This might sting for just a second but then it should feel better.”  Brian put some lotion on his hands and then gently began to rub it in.

“It stings!”

“Just a second.  Hold on, Sunshine.”

Then Justin felt it.  A cooling sensation spread across him. “Oh, I don’t know what it is but it feels amazing, now.”

“Does it feel good enough to have a hard on again?” Brian moved up and kissed him, bringing his hand down and finding Justin’s cock semi-erect.

Brian offered Justin his back and to his surprise Justin thrust hard and deep. He pressed against Brian’s chest and fell into a sound sleep.

Dan and Marcus made love until they just couldn’t anymore.  Marcus laid his head on Dan’s abdomen and Dan ran his fingers through his thick, auburn hair, “Red, I love you so much.” He paused.  I wish we could have a baby. God, I want a baby with you.”

“Oh, darling Dan.  How was I ever happy without you in my life?” He swirled his finger through Dan’s pubic hair.  “As long as I have you and Danny in my life, my life is full.”  

Dan pulled him into his arms and kissed him.  “Good night, love. I’d give you the world if I could.” 

"Don't you know you have?" Marcus replied sleepily.  

Together they drifted off more relaxed than they had been in months.

“Gus!” Shelby shook his shoulder.  “Something’s not right, Gus.” Shelby was trying to stay calm but she knew something was very wrong.

Gus rolled over, “Shelly, what is it?”  Gus replied groggily.

“Gus, I’m bleeding. I think I need to go to the hospital”

Now Gus was awake. “Ok!  I ….my dads aren’t home. I’ll call Mary.” He glanced at the clock.  It was 3:00 a.m. “I will be right back, Shel. I will check on the kids while I call her.  Ten minutes later, Gus had checked on the kids, texted Molly to tell her what was going on, and carried Shelby down the stairs and set her on the seat.  He kissed her and rushed back in the house to grab one more thing as Mary came into the house.

“Mary, I….”

“I have the babies.  I can stay as long as you need me.”  She patted Gus’ shoulder. “Go take care of your wife.  I will call the hospital that you are on your way.”

Gus rushed out to the SUV and they were off.  The amount Shelby was bleeding made it obvious something was seriously wrong.  By the time they arrived at the hospital, staff was waiting for them. It didn’t hurt there was a Taylor Kinney wing on the hospital.  They were told Shelby’s OB-Gyn was on her way in but an IV was started and the emergency room doctor gave her medication through the IV.  Within a couple minutes Shelby had calmed down and started dozing. 

Gus held her hand until Shelby’s doctor arrived and asked him to leave the room while she looked her over.  Gus was never so glad to see Molly and Tyler walk in. She rushed over to him and hugged him. He held onto her tightly.

“How is she?”  Molly asked.

“The doctor is looking at her now but she was bleeding pretty bad. I’m scared, Molly.”

“Should I call Justin and Brian for you?”

“No, I don’t want them to know.  They will rush home even if it is something minor. After we know something I can see if I need….”

The OB Gyn approached Gus.  “Gus, Shelby is resting quietly right now.  The baby seems to be ok for the moment. The bleeding has nearly stopped but we will need to wait for some tests to see what is going on.”

“So she hasn’t lost the baby?”  Gus asked softly.

“No, but I am going to be honest.  It doesn’t look good at the moment.  If she stays stable for 24 hours she will have a better chance and we can try a couple things but she will probably have to stay in bed most of the time.”

“She’ll do whatever it takes.  I know her.”

“I just want you to know that she may not be able to do anything.  Sometimes nature just takes its course. We will have a better idea in a couple hours when the tests return.”

Once the doctor left, Molly pulled Gus close and he held onto her.  “It’s my fault. It’s all my fault!” Gus said softly in Molly’s ear.

“Come, Gus, let’s sit down,” Molly led him to a chair and they sat side by side.  “Nothing you did caused this Gus.”

“But I did.  We fought just before we fell asleep.  I upset her. I wanted to make love but she wasn’t in the mood.  She’s never in the mood anymore. Finally, she gave in and told me to go ahead.  So I had sex with her but she obviously didn’t want it. It was my fault if we lose our little boy.”

“Oh, Gus, I don’t think that had anything to do with it.  And I am sure you were loving and gentle.”  

Tyler walked away and texted Dan.  It said, ‘Shelby in hospital. Will let you know if you should come home early.  Maybe get John ready in case… Will be in touch.’

Dan had a message come in early Sunday morning.  He knew it was Tyler from the tone that sounded. He picked it up and softly said, “Shit,” under his breath.  

Marcus shifted next to Dan and snuggled his naked body against him.  “What is it, darling Dan?”

“Tyler let me know that Shelby is in the hospital.  He didn’t give details but he said I should get John on standby which means it isn’t good.”

“Are you going to tell Justin and Brian?”

“No, I am going to wait for Tyler but I am going to have John fly up here.  If we don’t need him he can fly us back Monday morning but if we need to leave today we’ll be ready.”

“Oh god, Tony, harder!  I want it harder!” Tony repositioned himself and continued to slam into John’s ass making him cry out as he came.  He clamped around Tony who then came, too. John reached back and held onto Tony’s hips, not wanting him to go anywhere yet.  “That was….Amazing! Let’s wake up like that every morning!”

“I wish we could.” Tony kissed John’s neck. “Maybe we need to go away for a weekend. I…”  Tony was interrupted by John’s phone ringing.

“Damn,” John swore.   It was nearly 7:00 a.m.   “Who the hell…” he picked up his phone and saw it was Dan.  “Shit,” he answered the phone. “Dan, is everything alright?”

“Sorry to call you so early, John, but I need you to fly up here.  We may not need you but….”

“Dan, what is going on?” John knew this was not normal.

“Shelby is in the hospital.  She may lose the baby. I haven’t told Brian and Justin but if we need to get home quickly, I want you up here waiting.”

John laid his hand on Tony’s thigh and slowly moved away from him. “I will call the airport right now and I will be up there as soon as I can.  I will contact you when I have my flight plan. I’ll contact Molly to let me know what’s up.”

“Thanks, John.  Talk to you later.”

“Mi Amore, what is it?” Tony wrapped his arm around John’s shoulders.

“Shelby may be losing the baby. I need to fly up to Canada and be ready to take them home if they get the word.  I don’t think I should tell Brinn. Just tell her that I have to run a flight for Dan. If the time comes you will have to tell her and they will just head back today instead of tomorrow.”

“I will let you get ready.  I will go make some breakfast for you.” Tony left while John went to shower.

Danny stretched.  He ached in so many places but it felt so good. He slid his body over Jamie and began to slide his finger between Jamie’s ass cheeks and soon Jamie was begging for more.  Danny grabbed a condom and entered him. In no time, they had both cum.

“Danny, if you were a few years older….. I….” Danny reached around and stroked Jamie, “Oh, GOD….” he shivered and came again.

Brinn woke up with a headache.  She had never felt like this before.  She had her first hangover and felt like shit.  Her mouth was as dry as cotton but as she drank some water she was sure she was going to throw up.  She rushed to the bathroom and did just that.

Gus couldn’t sit anymore.  He had sat with Shelby, but while they were running one more test he paced in the waiting room with Molly.  Tyler had gone home to take over the kids and Brenda was going to take care of Taylor and Gage.  

When Gus saw the doctor come in he went directly to him.  Molly followed and slipped an arm around Gus’ waist. 

“Mr. Kinney, Gus, the tests we just ran showed there has been no change in Shelby or the baby.  She hasn’t stabilized but hasn’t gotten less stable either but I want to be honest, it doesn’t look good.”

Molly hugged Gus as he clung to her.  “You go and kiss your wife and you sit with her.  Shelby is strong. This isn’t over yet. If you need a break, come get me.”

“The kids…. Mary….”

“Brenda should be getting there about now.  They are fine.”

“Thanks, Molly...for everything.”

“Come get me if you need me.  I’ll be here.”

Brian and Justin woke up.  Justin groaned as he moved. “Let me rub that gorgeous ass again.”  Brian rubbed more of the oil onto his cheeks and Justin raised his ass in the air offering it to Brian.

“Are you sure you’re not too sore?”

‘Please, Brian, I want you….”  Brian positioned himself and entered him.

“I never get tired of sinking into you.  The feel of you around my cock...I love everything about you.”  Brian pulled Justin up and wrapped one arm around Justin’s shoulders while the other went around his waist, “I love you, Sunshine.”

“I love you, too, baby.”

Danny and Jamie showered, and then went to the kitchenette and started pulling out leftovers. They had cheese and bread and some fruit.  They sat on the sofa and kissed in between bites. Soon they had forgotten about the food again and were kissing and touching and just enjoying each other.  They ended up stumbling back to the bedroom and into the bed with rumpled sheets.  

Tony had texted Brinn but she hadn’t responded so he went over to the lighthouse,  He could use her assistance with Jonna with John gone and Matty was with a friend for the day.  Tony knocked on the door and she didn’t answer. He was about to go upstairs when he was sure he heard a moan.  Using the pass card, Tony let himself in. He heard whimpering coming from the bathroom. “Brinn, bella, what is wrong?”  He picked her up off the floor and carried her to the sofa. That was when he saw the empty bottle of wine. “Oh, bella, what have you done to yourself? Why did you do it to yourself?”

He went to the kitchen area and found some bread and a bottle of water.  “Sip, don’t gulp this. Nibble on the bread. It will help soak up some of that wine still hanging in your stomach.”

After a couple minutes Tony continued, “Brinn is something wrong? It isn’t like you to do something like this.”

“I don’t know what’s normal for me!  I am a master candidate that can’t drive.  I have a great family but I can’t see part of them. I just don’t know what I should be doing.”

Tony sat on the sofa and pulled her onto his lap and let her cry.  After a few minutes she pulled herself together. “Tony, did you come here for a special reason?”  she sniffled as she talked.

“Yes, John had to do an emergency flight for Dan so I was hoping Jonna could spend time with you.  She could come here or you could come to the house.”

“Can you give me half an hour?  I need to shower and then I will go to the house.  Tony, please don’t tell my dads I was drinking? I don’t have a problem.  That is the first time I have ever done that, honest.”

“I believe you, Bella.  I will let Jonna know you will be there soon.”  He hugged and kissed her. “You may not know right now what you want to do but whatever you decide, you will change the world!”

The men spent the day looking at the Canadian Rockies from their suite.  None of them managed to get clothes on for hours. They spent a lot of time in the hot tub but Dan seemed a bit distracted.  He kept excusing himself, saying he had a business issue going on. By noon he received a text that John was available when they needed him.  Dan kept the phone at arm’s reach, not wanting to miss a message if they needed to go.

Justin sat on Brian’s lap part of the time.  Feeling the discomfort kept him in a constant state of excitement so Brian obliged by bringing him to climax time after time which, of course, had Brian cum several times himself.  Marcus decided he liked the idea himself. He straddled Dan and moved until he felt Dan’s cock at his asshole. With Dan’s help, he moved and soon Dan was buried deep inside Marcus.

Eventually mid afternoon they all ended up in one bed just talking and touching and kissing.  At times they weren’t sure whose arm or thigh or dick they were touching as they all dozed off.

Molly had gone home around noon.  Tyler had some work to do and Brenda was still with Tyler and Gage.  Molly hated leaving Gus alone and as she pulled out she thought of Seth and Isabella.  She called Wine and Design. If one of them was home hopefully they would answer.

“Wine and Design, Seth speaking.”

“Oh, Seth, I am so glad you are there.”  She explained the situation and that most of the family was out of town.  

“Molly, I will be at the hospital in ten minutes.  I’ll just sit in the waiting room if Gus is in with Shelby.”

“Thank you, Seth.  That makes me feel better. You have my number.  Please call if there is any change. Oh, and call Tyler if his dads need to come home.”

“I will, Molly.  I am leaving now.”  Seth got on his motorcycle and was at the hospital in minutes.  He was at the desk asking questions when Gus walked out. He looked so young.  Seth didn’t even think before walking over and taking him in his arms. Gus wrapped his arms tightly around his new friend and held onto him.  

“How is Shelby and the baby?”

“She has started bleeding again. I don’t think….I think she’s going to lose our son but I’m not sure about her……”

Seth stroked his head and said, “Should I call your family?”

“I will decide once the doctor comes out.” Gus rested his head on Seth’s shoulder as they stood there.” Seth guided him to a seat and sat next to him, keeping his arm around him.  

Gus saw a nurse approaching. “Gus, the doctor would like to talk to you and Shelby together.”

The look Gus shot Seth was pure fear.  “I will be right here, Gus.” As soon as he went down the hall he Seth called Tyler and told him he thought Gus needed his dads here and then called Molly and told her he didn’t know anything for sure but he thought it was only a matter of time.

He then contacted Isabella and explained what was going on.  She was almost home so she would go watch Paul and Jenna so Molly could come back to the hospital.  Now all they could do was wait.

Dan’s phone began to ring. He reached over Brian’s ass and grabbed his phone off the nightstand.  “Ya?” he knew it was Tyler.  

“John’s getting the plane ready.  Try to get to the airport as fast as you can.”

“What’s happened?”

“They are expected to lose the baby but Shelby is bleeding.” Tyler responded

“Ok, thanks, Tyler.” Dan ended the call as Marcus kissed him and Brian ran his hand over Dan’s ass.

“Brian, Justin, we need to pack and head to the airport.”

“What?” Brian looked at  Dan and got serious. “Dan who was on the phone?”

“It was Tyler.  John is waiting at the airport for us.  Shelby and Gus are losing the baby and Shelby isn’t doing well either.”

“Did you know...how long have you known this?”  Brian was up and throwing things in his bag. 

“I was told early this morning that she was in the hospital but Gus didn’t want to bother you if it was just a small problem.”  

“Well, get the hell out of here and get ready to go?”  Brian said as he followed Justin into the shower. Minutes later they were out and drying off.   Brian took Justin’s towel and rubbed his back but Justin turned around and put his arms around Brian’s neck.  Brian pulled him close and they stood there for a moment. “She’s strong, Sunshine. She’ll be fine,” he wished he knew that was true.

Thirty minutes later they were on their way to the airport.

Gus walked into Shelby’s room and the doctor was standing by her bed..  Gus walked over and took her hand and kissed her. “Oh, Gus, I’m sorry. I tried…. I…”

“Shhh, Shelly. You didn’t do anything.”

“Gus, I have already told Shelby but I need to take her into surgery.  We need to stop the bleeding. The baby’s heartbeat is slowing and the likelihood of survival is very low.  I’m sorry but right now we need to save your wife. You have a couple minutes and then the nurse will be in to prep her.”

Gus leaned over and put his mouth by her ear. “This is all my fault.  You didn’t want to…” tears began to roll down his cheeks.  

“Oh, Gussy, you didn’t cause this.  This whole pregnancy has been a mess. I love you, I love our kids.  Oh, Gussy, if I don’t…”

“You will be fine.  We have two beautiful children and if this one becomes an angel…. Oh, Shelly, I love you.  You can’t leave us. We need you.” He kissed her just as a group of people rushed in and he was escorted out.  

As soon as Seth saw him he knew it wasn’t good.  He stood to meet him when Molly rushed through the door and Gus fell into her arms and sobbed.  Seth watched the two. He wasn’t sure what it was about that young father but he was drawn to him.  He was just such a talented, loving, successful family man. He hated seeing him so torn up.

Gus sat between Molly and Seth as he told them Shelby was on her way to surgery to stop the bleeding and deliver the baby which would very likely not survive.  “I wish my dads were here.” he said as Molly dabbed at her own eyes.”

“They are on their way, They should be here in two to three hours. John went up there this morning just in case.”

“Thanks, Molly. I….” he started shaking, trying to pull himself together. “My world is crashing right now.”

She smiled gently, “I sometimes forget how much of my brother has rubbed off on you.”

“Your brother is as much my father as Pops is. We would never have survived without him and I want him here now.”

“I’ll go see what their ETA is.” Molly nodded at Seth who pulled Gus close as she walked away.

“This is all my fault, all my fault,” Gus repeated over and over.  

“Gus, none of this is anyone’s fault.  Women lose babies everyday. It is just nature’s way.  Some babies just aren’t viable.”

“But I made her have sex with me last night.  I only thought of my own needs. I said….I didn’t mean for her to hear me….”  Gus started crying.

“If you want to tell me what you said, I promise I won’t tell anyone...if that will help.”  Seth stroked his thick, wavy hair.

“I….it is so terrible. I was frustrated and mumbled I didn’t have this problem when I was with men. How could I say that? I love her.  I love our children. I don’t deserve her. I promised her I didn’t need men and then I say...”

Seth was stunned.  He wasn’t sure what to say.  He had no idea Gus was bisexual.  “Gus, I am sure she knows you love her.”

Molly returned and filled Gus in.  His dads were on their way. They should be there within two hours. Seth went off to find something for Gus to eat even though he doubted he would eat it.  As he took the elevator down to the cafeteria, he thought maybe Isabella could help Shelby. Isabella needed new friends now that they moved and it sounds like Shelby could use a friend, too.

Tony had a difficult situation.  He felt he needed to tell Brinn what was going on but he also needed her to stay with their kids for a couple more hours because he had to be in a meeting and Jonna couldn’t be alone.  He decided to go talk to Danny so he could be their for Brinn. Tony knocked on the door and didn’t hear anything at first. “Danny, it’s Tony. Are you in there?”

Now he heard shuffling and voices.  He was sure he heard two voices. He used his pass key and let himself in. Danny was just coming out of the bedroom, still pulling up his shorts.

“Sorry, Tony, I was….napping.  I stayed up late working on my paper.” Danny stammered.

Tony smiled as he looked around the room, “And where is that computer you have been working on?”

“Oh, well, I….”  Danny panicked. Jamie walked out of the bedroom.

“Hey, Tony.  Long time no see.” He had a towel wrapped around him and walked over and shook his hand.

“Jamie, what a surprise!  One of you want to fill me in on what’s going on?”

Jamie walked over to a frozen Danny, “Brinn thought Danny needed a weekend with a friend.  I am sure you know what a great guy Danny is and if I remember your history, you had an unpleasant start to sex, too.”

“Danny, I would say from the look you just gave Jamie that you have had a nice weekend,”  Tony noticed Danny relax a bit. “It is none of my business except that it happened at my place of business.”

“Jamie has been wonderful to me,” he kissed Jamie who gently cupped the back of Danny’s head, showing real care to the young man.

“I am glad Jamie could help you.  He is right, I had a bad early situation and it took a bit to work through it.  But Danny, I came here for a reason. Your family is on their way home right now.  John is in the air with them now. Shelby and Gus have lost their baby. Shelby is in surgery and her life is also at stake but I really need you both to stay here until this evening because I have something I have to do and I really  need someone around for Jonna. Danny, can you come with me to tell her. She is going to need someone and I am literally running out of time.

Danny was already moving to get dressed. Tony looked over at Jamie, “You are welcome to spend time at our house as well, Jamie, as long as you and Danny remember my daughter is there.”

“Come on Tony, I would never do anything like that,”  Jamie was a bit offended.

“I know.  We will try to convince Brinn to stay tonight yet so you can have one more night.  Has Danny regained his trust?”

“Oh ya, that young man is amazing! It may be hard to say goodbye.  He will be 18 very soon. I may have to look him up if I am in the area.  But, damn, why am I talking about that. Poor Gus!” 

Danny came out showered and dressed in less than 10 minutes.  “I’m ready, Tony.”

Jamie kissed Danny, “I’ll be over in an hour or so.  Tony said it was Ok but I’ll give you some time alone with Brinn first.” They kissed once more and then Tony led him out the door.

Brinn glanced out the window and saw Danny and Tony walking toward the house.  She didn’t like this. Did Tony catch Jamie and Danny together? Jonna saw her papa and ran to the door and he scooped her up.  “Papa, what are you doing here?” she questioned as she kissed his cheek and hugged him tightly.

“You remember Danny, right?” Jonna blushed and waved at him.  Tony set her back down and softly whispered, “Bella, can you go in your room for just a few minutes.  Danny and I need to talk to Brinn.”

“Ok, Papa,” she looked quizzically at him but obeyed.

By now Brinn was scared, “Tony, what is it?  Danny tell me!” Brinn held onto his hand tightly.  Danny led her to the sofa and sat down. He put his arm protectively around her.

Tony dropped on his knees in front of them and he put his hands on her knees.  “ Tia Brinn, John’s flight was to fly to Canada in case your dads needed a flight.  They didn’t know he was there until a bit ago.”

“Tony, I love you but what is going on?”

“Shelby is in the hospital.  She has lost the baby.” Instantly tears rolled down her cheeks.  Danny pulled her close and she put her head on his shoulder.

“I want to go home.  Can we go home?” She then looked at Danny and started, “Oh, Danny, I’m…”

“Brinn, your dads aren’t home yet and I could really use you here to help with Jonna.  I think it is best for you to stay here until morning and that way Jamie and Danny don’t have to change their plans, either.” Brinn’s head snapped up at hearing Jamie’s name. “Yes, I know he is here and that is fine.  We don’t need to talk about that. I told John to have your dads call you as soon as they are at the hospital and know what is going on.” Danny and Jamie will be here with you and Jonna. I promise if I hear anything I will call or text.” Tony kissed her on both cheeks.  “Now I hate to do this but I have a meeting your dad set up for me to handle since he was out of town.”

As he walked to the door, he heard the rumbling of thunder. “Maledire! (damn it) we don’t need a storm.”  Tony ran out the door.

Jonna came out and saw Brinn on the sofa and curled up next to Brinn.  Brinn shifted with a quick kiss on Danny’s cheek and wrapped her arms around Jonna and the girls spoke softly about what was going on. Danny stroked Jonna’s hair and kissed Brinn’s.  He looked out the windows and saw the storm rolling in. He was glad he wasn’t driving in that and hoped their dads were past this area so they didn’t have to fly through it.

An hour later, Jamie and Danny, Jonna and Brinn sat by the table playing a card game.  Brinn kept checking her phone but nothing yet. Jamie had one hand on his cards and the other one he kept sneaking under the table and into Danny’s lap.  As the storm raged outside they were safe and comfortable.

John landed the plane safely, though it was a bumpy landing.  He immediately went out to Brian and Justin. “I just wanted you to know that Brinn and Danny are staying at the Lighthouse yet tonight.  They are safe there but they are right in the middle of the worst of this storm. Tony told Brinn you would call her soon so she knows what it going on.  I have to do the landing checklist and then I will come to the hospital. There is a taxi van waiting for the four of you. Tyler was going to make sure you had vehicles to go home later.”

“Thanks, John,” Justin hugged him.  “Can you make sure our bags get brought to the hospital?”

“I will bring the luggage when I am finished here,” John gave Brian a hug.  “Now, your taxi is waiting.” Dan and Marcus said goodbye to John as they left the plane.

Brian and Justin sat in the back of the taxi. Brian pulled Justin close but didn’t say anything.  “Brian, she will be fine. She has to be fine.” Brian leaned over and kissed him.

“I just want to hold our son and then our grandbabies, ”  Brian said as they held on to each other.  

Dan pulled Marcus close and kissed him.  “Maybe we could go out and help with Taylor and Gage.  I bet by now Brenda could use a break.”

As they pulled up to the hospital, Brian and Justin got out, followed by Dan and Marcus.  “We are going out to Gus’ place and let Brenda go home. Call us.” Marcus said as he gave both of them a kiss.

“Call me when you know something,” Dan commented.

Brian and Justin walked through the door to the hospital to find their son.
