James sat up, the alarm next to his bed hadn't gone off. Luke had. He got up quickly and picked up Luke and took him into the living room so that the baby didn't wake up Adam. Still half sleep, he moved about, patting him on the back until he finally stopped crying. "You hungry?" He asked and went to the kitchen.

He and Adam had graduated successfully and had their own place now. 

James heard Adam's call and turned, having just finished preparing a bottle for Luke. "Coming~" He responded and went to put Luke back into his crib, he was old enough to hold the bottle himself and he slept with him and Adam at night. "Here you go." James told the baby as he laid him down into the cage like bed. 

He then turned and went to find Adam, finding him leaning out of the bathroom. "Did you get sick again?" James asked gently as he come up to him. He moved his hair out of his face, he had been wearing it half up and half down for a while now, not wanting to cut it. But Luke liked to try and eat it so it needed to be out of his facial region. 

He noticed the white pregnancy test and slowed down on his advance, eyes on the white stick. "Why... do you have that?" He asked and looked at Adam, waiting for him to tell him what he already knew. 

Adam almost instantly relaxed into the hug, nuzzling James's shoulder in a loving manner as he returned the embrace. He was so glad that James accepted what he'd told him, knowing that any extra stress would be terrible, even without being in the 'condition' he was in. Hell, his hormones were 'still' pretty wonked out from Luke, and that had been a little over a year ago!

((So. Where will Addy be when he has the miscarriage? P:)) 

[[[[ The miscarriage is due to stress, right? Someone spreads it around, and people will be all over him all the time...

Maybe he could have it at... O: What if James and Adam have a fight for whatever reason after people are making and poking fun at Adam for being pregnant and James tries to comfort him but Adam hormones and stress are all starting to take its tole on him and he blames James and goes somewhere to get away.... Hmmm... Maybe the park? :D Omg! At night :O lol And thats where! And he calls James and James comes to get him. >3< 

On that note... i was planning on James getting hurt or something because of Adam being pregnant :3 What do you think? ;D Like... he gets beat up for being Gay or something and having a gay pregnant BF~ ROFL Whut do you think? :D

Or we could do something COMPLETELY different!! =D That was just brain storming and I'm sure it gave you some sort of other idea if you didn't like it ^^  

OH!! What about Alex and Markus? Haven't they... been... together at least once? >.< I can't remember XD lol Hmmm~ If they haven't they're about to be :D Heheheheheheh *evil cackle* ]]]]

James hugged him closer and a little tighter, closing his eyes. So much... he thought to Adam. He didn't understand. How could this happen? It was weird enough that it had actually happened once. But twice?! He had heard about this kind of thing happening in those cartoons that people drew. But real life?

Something else occurred to him then. Thy were only going to be able to be absolutely close to each other for a few months until Adam's body would change and they'd have to be careful about everything. Food, moving around, sleeping.... Luke already slept with them at night. They were going to have to put an end to that. Thats was going to cause a whole other heap of trouble... "Luke isn't going to like that at all..." He said.

Why was he thinking like this already? He didn't know but thinking ahead wasn't necessarily a bad thing. Right? But it did add some stress there didn't it? While James had started to drift off and zone out as he got deeper into thought, he completely forgot about Adam. He had been doing a lot of thinking lately. And working extra hard to keep the house and enough food for everyone. So much stress!!

"I'm going to have to get a better job...." He said out loud quietly to himself. Working at a coffee shop for the rest of his life wasn't going to support an entire family! He was going to have to think a bit more. He didn't want a job that would take him away from Adam and Luke, but nearly every job that paid well was going to do that or be dangerous in some way. Or extremely boring. But he'd do it if he had to. 

He opened his eyes once again, the room seemed a bit brighter after having his eyes closed. He blinked. What else? "I could sell the motorcycle..." He said out loud without realizing it, still in his world of thought. That had made him frown. His motorcycle..... But it would definitely bring in more money, and they couldn't ride it anymore with Luke.

Oh, he was going to miss riding his motorcycle. The feeling of freedom. He blinked, can't think like that either. And he had absolutely no idea that he was saying these thoughts outloud.

Alex woke up slowly, exhausted, and in bed. Obviously, but with Markus. Again. This time there wasn't a cat attacking his face, however, and it was his bed. He moved only about a half an inch before there was a very obvious pain in... lower regions. He sighed quietly, wondering what time it was and closing his eyes. He didn't want to roll over yet, dreading possible results. But he did anyway to find... Markus. Still there.

There was a quick and sudden rush of joy rushing through him until it died away with a thought. Why had he expected him to not be there? It had happened before, so maybe thats why? It was also a slightly confusing situation. This had happened before, and Markus was there in the morning.

He didn't think about James not needing him anymore. But it was true. Since that night Luke had been born he and James hadn't been alone together. They always had Adam with them and most of the time Markus was there too. Actually, that hadn't happened in a while either. he wondered if he and James were still friends or if they had... drifted from each other?

Alex smiled before turning his face into the opposite direction and laying his arm over his face so that his elbow was facing up and his yes were covered completely. He closed his eyes, why did he suddenly feel like crying? Ugh, he was so emotional sometimes it made him sick. He made a small sigh. He cleared his throat quietly. He didn't want to wake him up. 

He wondered about Markus a lot too. He wondered what he was to Markus. They weren't like Adam and James, but they weren't just friends either. Were they? Where they a couple? Maybe he was just... a good time? Something to do on the side to keep boredom away. He didn't want that to be true, but he didn't want to ask either.

Asking would only make it obvious they he actually cared, and if he was just a side project that would drive Markus away faster. He did care though. This kind of thing he took seriously. He took himself seriously and he didn't want to just... give himself away to someone.

[[ x3 Poor Alex <3 Sorry, I'm reading something and it got stuck in my head XDD ]] 

James focused on Adam once again when he started to more in is arm, automatically realizing that he had zoned out on him. Did he say something before he moved? James didn't think so but what he said then definitely threw James for a loop. "What'd you mean?" James asked, knowing exactly what Adam meant.

He rested his head against Adam's. "Don't worry about me, Adam." He told him. "Just... don't do that. Ok?" He said, feeling the other's fingers entangle themselves in his shirt. A small thrill pa.ssed through his body. 

Adam worrying about him so much that he would even come close to considering ending a pregnancy made James fill regenerated. Not that abortion was a good thing, but it showed James that he truly did care. "I don't want you to think that you need to sacrifice for me. Ok?" James asked then squeezed him slightly. "Thats my job." He said with a smile both on his face and in his voice.

Alex, still in thought, wasn't too worried about Markus mumbling in his sleep until he actually turned over and grabbed him. He lifted his arms quickly to look at his partner and the warm smile that was on his face. That made the butterflies in his stomach come to life once again and he smiled back at him.

But obviously his ex
pression from before hadn't faded completely away yet because Markus let go of him and sat up, a worried ex
pression on his face. Alex's eye widened ever so slightly in a frown and he laid his arms down. He hadn't realized that his arm had been hovering over his face until then and rested it on the pillow beside his head.

Markus's mentioning a problem brought back his thoughts from a few minutes earlier. The sudden fear of tears returned to he blinked before answering. He frowned, as if confused, "Nothing... Why?" He asked.

Oh, he couldn't just lie to him. He wasn't a very good liar. "Just... a little sore." He stated, then sat up on his elbows. The movement caused him to flinch, didn't have to fake that. He forced a quick smile. 

James smiled and rested his chin on Adam's head, just being close to him like this made James feel content. Like he didn't need to worry about anything and that he'd figure something out, he knew he would. "I love you more." He replied happily.

Alex smiled warmly, wrapping his arms around the back of Markus' neck to keep himself steady. He smiled and closed his eyes while the other nuzzled him, enjoying the cat-like gesture. No on had ever tried to be gentle, or they had never told him if they had.

He drifted off slightly when they kiss was planted. How could he think that Markus was just using him? When he treated him so gently, like he was now. He opened his eyes when he was patted, they gave off how much he was enjoying this kind of attention and that the other dazed him.

"Yeah." He answered truthfully but pulled himself closer, "But it's a good kind of pain." He added before using his forehead to gently guide Markus' jaw up slightly so that he could kiss his neck. He smiled slowly before he chuckled quietly and left his neck alone to make eye contact once again. "Does that mean you were holding back?" He asked, cocking his head slightly to the side.

There was a playful, questioning look sparkling in his own eyes. He let on of his hands slide up and play with Markus' hair a little. It was so soft!
