Chapter 31

Marcus pulled into the garage and looked over to see JW's and his parent's
cars parked inside. The garage door closed and Marcus sat in his car for
several minutes. JW was standing outside to greet him when he stepped out,
Marcus smiled and gave him a quick kiss and then ducked back into his car
to grab his brief case, "So how was the rest of your day with your kids?"

JW smiled and said it was great and then opened the door into the
house. Marcus walked inside; saw the washing machine and the dryer already
running, the girls watching a cartoon, Luke chewing on a shoe, Hank sitting
in the kitchen and Donna cooking something. Marcus was dead tired, stressed
out and just wanted to turn all the lights off, watch ESPN and fall asleep
on the couch. When he walked into view he was greeted with a roar and
screams of excitement, even Luke managed to stagger over to him and wave
his hand in the air at him. He did his best to say hello and ask how
everyone's day was but suddenly he felt cramped and closed in.

Marcus said that he was going to change his clothes and darted off to the
bedroom. He closed the door behind him and leaned against it for a
second. The noise from the living room was still loud but at least it was
muffled now, he stripped off his business suit, shirt, socks and
underwear. He slipped into a pair of gym shorts and fell chest first into
the bed, pulled a pillow over his head and closed his eyes.

Marcus woke up and felt something heavy sitting on his back and then he
heard a child laughing. Marcus pulled the pillow off his head and looked
over his right shoulder and saw Kira sitting on his back and JW behind her,
both of them were rubbing his back.

Marcus smiled and sleepily said, "That's perfect!"

After a while JW told Kira to go check on her brother, she bounced off the
bed and out of the room, JW continued to massage Marcus back and shoulders,
"That bad of a day? I am sorry that you had to show up with me in court."

Marcus shook his head and yawned, "Had nothing to do with that, found out
today at work that I am considered a joke and that I am a pussy."

JW furrowed his eyebrow and dug his thumbs into Marcus muscles along his
spine, "Did someone say that to you?"

Marcus nodded his head, "Turns out I am absolutely hated at work. I thought
I was doing so well too, but I was basically threatened and called a
pathetic pussy who is weak and ignorantÉ" Marcus trailed off and closed
his eyes again. After several minutes of JW massaging Marcus, he opened his
eyes again and looked to JW, "Dude today was horrible and everything that I
thought I was at work is now questionable. I need to change everything
about who I am and what I represent." JW shook his head and pulled his
hands off Marcus.

JW crawled off Marcus and was walking out of the room when Marcus said,
"Stop! Why are you leaving?"

JW shrugged and said from the door said, "I think you are fine the way you
are now. There is no way I would support changing the most loving, kind,
gentile and compassionate man that I have ever met." JW left the bedroom.

Marcus pushed his head back into the bed and thought to himself that JW
just does not understand what its like to have to deal with the pressure of
his job and the expectations that he had to meet. Then he realized how
stupid of a thought that was, JW being a gay in an alpha male fire
department would have to be hell. He climbed out of the bed and put on a
tank top, it was way to short, it must have been JW's. Marcus changed into
a tee shirt and walked out to the living room, he sat down in the armchair
and Kira walked up to him and stood in front of him staring.

Marcus looked down to her and asked, "What's going on Kira?"

Kira stood their blankly and finally asked, "What's wrong?"

Marcus smiled at her, "Nothing, what makes you say that?"

Kira to climb up in the chair and wiggled down besides Marcus and looked up
at him, "Your so tall, there is almost no room for me."

Marcus laughed and then looked at Hank and Donna who looked horrified that
Marcus was so close to their grandchild.

Kira looked around the room and then back to Marcus, "Are you sure nothing
is wrong? Because you sure do look like there is something wrong."

Marcus smiled and pulled his arm from behind Kira and put it up on the
armrest, "You can tell? Ya, I had a bad day at work, a lot of people do not
like me there."

Kira frowned and crossed her arms, "Well I like you."

Marcus thanked her and JW walked in from the kitchen and looked at his
parents, "Jesus you two guys need to relax." JW looked to Kira, "So what
are you guys talking about?"

Kira uncrossed her arms and tossed her hands into the air, "I am just
telling Marc that he is fine and his friends at work are stupid!" Marcus
looked to JW who was nodding his head.

Donna had finished cooking dinner, everyone piled into the kitchen and ate
quickly. Marcus thanked Donna and asked what she did different and she
excitedly started to explain the simple meal, JW shook his head knowing
that Marcus was simply being overly polite. Hank and JW walked into the
living room and the girls followed them but JW sent them back into the
kitchen to help clean up.

Hank looked over his shoulder and then back to JW, "So what are you going
to do when you're at work?"

JW looked confused and then realized what his father was saying to him,
"WellÉ"

Hank nodded his head, "Exactly. Is Marcus up to it?"

JW didn't want to answer the question and like an angel from heaven Luke
walked out of the kitchen a staggered to JW with his arms held out, "Dada."
JW felt his fathers eyes staring at him as he picked up his son and sat
Luke down next to him. Luke twisted in the couch for a second and then put
his head against JW's side. The girls ran out of the kitchen screaming and
laughing, JW told them to head into the bathroom and shower, they had to go
to school in the morning. Though Leah fiercly objected she finally conceded
and Kira followed her into the bathroom. Marcus and Donna walked out of the
kitchen laughing until Donna sat down in the armchair and Marcus sat down
on the floor.

JW looked to Marcus and then to his dad, "Why don't you ask him?"

Hank shrugged, "Marcus are you going to watch the kids when JW is at work?"

Marcus smiled, "Oddly enough me and JW had talked about this a few days
ago." JW knew this was a lie but was thankful Marcus knew to answer this
question seriously, "Yes I plan on taking care of the kids when he is at
work. When school is going on it should not be that hard, but on the
weekends and the summers, it will be a lot more of challenge. But it should
also be a lot more fun. Everyone can sleep in and we don't have to keep a
schedule, I almost always work out of my office and rarely head into the
Metroplex any more." Marcus was looking at Hank and knew he was not
satisfied with that answer and Marcus continued, "Look it's going to be
really tough at first but I have a pretty big advantage to start off
with. Leah and Kira are mostly able to take care of the basics and Luke is
a pro in potty training. I have a sharp learning curve and I don't have all
the answers right now. If I have problems and for what ever reason and I
cant get a hold of JW at work, I had planned on calling you or the other
set of grand parents."

Hank leaned back into the couch, he seemed pleased and a little shocked
with this answer. JW knew it was the statement that his parents wanted to
hear and this did more than anything he could ever say to get them to
accept them as a couple. Hank picked up Luke and sat quietly patting his
grandsons back.

Marcus looked over to Donna, "How is JW so big and well you two areÉ"

Donna snorted and laughed, "Short?"

Marcus smiled and nodded his head and Donna folded her hands into her lap,
"Not really sure how he got to 6'4, there is no one on either side of the
family that is tall. Tall, lean and so handsome for that matter."

Hank glanced at Donna and smiled, "All the males are short and fat on my
side of the family and on Hanks side of the family he is by far the tallest
and probably the skinniest. So it had to come from his side I guess."

Donna smiled and started to ask Marcus about his past and she couldn't
believe how little he actually knew about his younger years, Marcus just
shrugged and explained that he really did not know anything about his
parents and really didn't care.

Hank pushed Luke into the middle of the couch to lay flat and said "Good
night." He walked out of the living room and into the bedroom. Donna
followed shortly after Hank, she stood up, kissed Luke on the head as he
slept and said, "Good night," and then walked towards the bedroom. She
stopped and turned to JW, "Do you want us to take Luke as well? You two had
a hard day and that bed is big enough for all of us to sleep in."

JW shook his head and pointed at the couch, "Honestly I was just going to
leave him here tonight, leave the door open and if he needs anything I will
hear him." Donna nodded her head and disappeared into the bathroom.

Marcus and JW sat quietly in the living room for some time; JW was watching
Luke and Marcus watched JW. Marcus stood up and walked into the kitchen and
poured himself a glass of water. As Marcus turned around and started to
gulp down the glass he watched JW come into the kitchen. JW walked up to
Marcus and wrapped his arms around him and put his head into his chest, "We
really need to stop having these exciting days. It would be really nice to
just have an average day."

Marcus laughed and kissed the top of JW's head, "Oh the news gets better,
you and me have the biggest meeting of my life coming up in five days, I am
hosting a client here and I really need you to be here for it if you can?"

JW pulled his head off Marcus, "I can do that but what is going on?"

Marcus told him about the day at work, how the client wanted to meet here
for a BBQ and by the end of the story JW just shook his head, "How the hell
do gay people make it in this world?"

Marcus shrugged, "Who knows? But I am ready to crawl into bed and get my
dick sucked."

JW grinned and walked out of the kitchen and covered Luke up on the couch
and followed Marcus into the bedroom. The few minutes that passed from when
Marcus and JW crawled into bed they had already fallen asleep.
