From Part 10

Teddy was fast asleep when he felt something on this arm.  He fought the
urge to smack at whatever was touching him but instead he opened his eyes.

Dylan's blue eyes were looking back at him.  "Uncle Teddy, can I sleep with
you?"

"Sure, kiddo." Teddy thought quickly to make sure he was wearing something
and flipped the sheet back.  Dylan crawled in next to him and turned so he
was spooned up to Teddy.

Edward kissed the back of Teddy's neck, "He ok?"

Teddy just shrugged and wrapped his arm around Dylan.  Thankfully all three
were back to sleep very shortly.

When Teddy woke up again he realized there were more bodies in the bed then
he remembered from earlier.  Matthew was next to Dylan and Elizabeth was
next to Edward.  They were all asleep and Teddy was glad they got the
biggest bed they could find.

"This isn't going to be a habit is it?"  Edward whispered it into Teddy's
ear.

"I hope not.  I should have known when one came in here the others would
soon follow."

There was a quiet knock at the door and when it opened John came in.  Teddy
turned his head towards John, "There is no room in the inn."

"I was wondering where they were."  John walked over to Teddy's side of the
bed, "I think you're wrong though, I could squeeze in between the two of
you."

Edward lifted his head up and smiled at John, "Dude, we haven't... you
know... since Teddy was hurt and we can't have it for two weeks.  Are you
sure you want to spoon up in front of me?"

Teddy had to control his laughter, "Wow, what a great idea.  I could go
sleep with La."

"Oh... ha... ha... ha..."  John was smiling at the joke even as he was
trying not to laughing.  He leaned over and kissed each of his sons.  "Come
on, time to get up boys."

Matthew was the first to move, followed by Dylan.  Elizabeth heard the boys
leaving and she leaned over and kissed Edward and then climbed over him to
kiss Teddy before she followed the boys out of the room.

Teddy rolled over carefully so he was looking into Edward's eyes.
"Morning, I love you."  He lightly kissed Edward's lips.

"I love you too, babe."  Edward looked over Teddy at the clock, "So, what
do you want me to do tomorrow morning?  You want to get up when I do or you
want me to try to be quiet?"

"Well, the minute you go to get out of bed I'm going to wake up anyway, so
I'll just get up.  What time are you going in?"

Edward smiled, "Five... a... m..."

"Fuck, what time are you getting up?  No wait... don't tell me, just
surprise me."

Edward leaned over Teddy and kissed him, "Come on, I want to take a shower.
I'll put the waterproof bandage on your back then we can get ready for
breakfast."

After Edward covered the wound on Teddy's back they climbed into the
shower.  They stood there allowing the water to fall on them.  Teddy
reached over and lathered his hands with shower gel.  Starting at Edward's
head Teddy worked his way down his body to his feet both front and back
with the exception of his crotch.  Once he was done he returned to Edward's
crotch and lathered it up.  He kissed Edward as his hands paid extra
attention to Edward's cock and balls.

"Babe, we can't do..."

Teddy released Edward's cock and placed his finger over his lips to stop
him talking.  "We can't fuck.  But there is something we can do."

"Babe, are you sure?"

Teddy didn't answer he just slowly lowered himself and rinsed the soap from
Edward's crotch.  When he grasped the base of Edward's cock he was rewarded
by a moan.  Teddy rubbed the head of Edward's cock on his lips.  He could
feel the heat and hardness beneath the skin's surface.  Teddy couldn't
resist any longer and pushed the head of Edward's cock past his lips.  He
tried to control his breathing as he swallowed it to the base.

"Fuck...  Babe..."  Edward's eyes rolled back in his head and he felt his
knees weaken.  He had to place one hand on the wall and the other on
Teddy's head to steady himself.  He loved the feel of having his hand on
Teddy's head as his lover swallowed his cock.

Teddy had entered into a rhythm, he was withdrawing all by the head before
he swallowed the enter length again.  He was using his hand to increase the
sensation for Edward.  He was rewarded with Edward mouth spewing some of
the nastiest language Teddy had yet heard.  Had his mouth and throat not
been full Teddy would have been laughing.  After awhile of this continued
work he could feel Edward's cock begin to swell as his nuts pulled closer
to his body.

As the first shot of cum left Edward's cock, his entire body was wracked
with spasms.  By the time the last of his shots were finished he could
barely stand.  He lifted Teddy off of his knees and kissed him deeply.

* * *

When they finally emerged from their room, Edward and Teddy were greeted in
the dining room by three very excited children.  Elizabeth was the first to
run up to them and she was promptly picked up by her father.  She kissed
his cheek and then leaned over and kissed Teddy.

"Daddy, can we go to the park today?"

"Of course we can, after everyone gets done eating."

She kissed him again and then once she was put down she ran back to where
Dylan and Matthew were sitting.  The three of them began talking between
themselves.

Teddy walked over to Laura and hugged her, "Did you sleep ok?"

"Oh yes, that new bed is incredible."  She smiled at Teddy, "I hear that
you two had some company last night."

"Yeah, I'm glad we got the super king.  Although, I'm not sure what brought
that on."

"I wouldn't worry about it yet.  He gets like that once in a while.  If it
keeps up then we will need to figure out what's going on."  She paused and
looked to make sure where the kids were, "Is there going to be a service
for Mary?"

"No, her parents died years ago.  Edward decided he didn't want to
celebrate her life after what she had done to Elizabeth and us.  We talked
it over with the therapist and didn't think it would cause any issues so
there isn't going to be anything."

"Probably a good idea, as long as Elizabeth knows that it's ok to mourn her
mother."  Ever the therapist herself, Laura wanted to make sure that
Elizabeth's wellbeing was also being considered.

Teddy smiled at her, "Of course La.  She knows that it's ok to mourn and
that she can show emotion and miss her mother.  We've been very careful to
make sure that her feelings come first."

Laura felt like she had overstepped, "Of course you are.  I'm sorry, I'm
just being a mother I guess."

Teddy leaned over and hugged her again, "I know you are.  You wouldn't be
my La without worrying about everyone."

As he stood back up and looked around, he noticed that Devon was cooking
breakfast and smiling as he was working.  Teddy walked over to him and
stood next to him.  "So, did you have fun last night?"

The smile on Devon's face grew instantly wider.  "I sure did, it was ace.
I can't thank you enough for introducing me to Dustin.  I had the best time
and I have to say he's pretty incredible."

"I know.  I hope you two become... friends."  Teddy winked at Devon and was
rewarded by another toothy grin.

"I hope so too."  Devon looked over at Edward who was talking with John.
He lowered his voice and turned back to Ted, "I have everything arranged
for tomorrow.  Dustin even said he is going to come and help us."

"Great, you sure it isn't going to be a problem?"

"Not at all, they will all love it.  I also found out that someone you want
to meet is going to be riding with him tomorrow morning.  It'll be an added
bonus."

"That's great.  I will have to be on my best behavior."

Edward had stopped talking with John and noticed Devon and Teddy huddled up
talking at the stove.  "Hey, Baker.  What are you plotting over there?"

Devon came to attention and turned to face Edward.  "Receiving orders from
my commanding officer, sir!"

Everyone in the room broke out laughing, especially Edward.  "Oh great, now
I've lost my orderly to my boyfriend."  This caused another round of
laughter with Devon laughing the loudest this time.

Once everyone had calmed down, breakfast was a fun affair.  Devon had made
enough food to feed the entire regiment it seemed.  As it quickly
disappeared, Teddy realized this was one of his dreams come true.  For
years he wanted a large family of his own gathered around a table enjoying
meals together.  In his relationship with Edward he had gained a child that
loved him and he loved as if she was his very own daughter.  They were
joined by John, Laura, Matthew, Dylan and Devon.  The eight of them enjoyed
each other's company as they ate and Teddy sat back and just enjoyed the
time he could spend with them.  He just wished that Jake and Mark along
with Tony and Andrew were there as well.  It would have made the moment
that much better.

Sitting there looking around he realized the need for more space.  He was
definitely going to have to get the flat next door and remodel.  He made a
mental note to go and talk with them later in the day.

After breakfast, everyone changed clothes and they headed out the door to
walk to Hyde Park.  As they were exiting the building, Edward saw a young
man sitting on one of the benches.  As they walked past he instinctively
positioned himself between the man and Teddy.  The young man just smiled
and went back to reading a paper.

The actions were not missed by Teddy, who reached over and pulled Edward
towards him.  "Babe, it'll be ok.  That was the guy that lives on the
second floor."  He kissed him on the cheek, "Thank you for being my hero
though."

Edward gave a small smile, "Sorry, guess you think I'm being over
protective?"

"No babe.  I think you're being incredible sweet and extremely sexy.
Remind me later to show you how thankful I am."  Teddy tried to wiggle his
eyebrows, but he was having some problem doing it as well as Edward could.

The action made Edward laugh, "I will, trust me, I will."

John walked up next to Edward as they were crossing Kensington Road, "What
is your schedule like this week.  If we can, I'd love to come by and see
the barracks.  You've talked so much about them, I'd like to see them for
myself."

"Oh yeah, that would be great.  Monday I'm doing the watering order ride
and after that I'm the orderly officer so I have to inspect the Queen's
Life Guard before they leave for the changing of the guard at Horse Guards
and then I have to ride down and inspect them again at four.  Let's see,
Tuesday I have office duty, Wednesday I'm actually scheduled to be the
Captain of the Guard for a Long Guard.  Then Thursday and Friday I've just
got administrative duties."

"Wow, we definitely need to come and watch the changing of the guards on
Wednesday then.  The boys will love to see that and I know I would too."

"Not a problem, we'll make sure that you guys get really good spots."

Teddy had been listening to the discussion.  "Edward, what is a Long
Guard?"

"When the Queen is in London we send a Long Guard which is fifteen men to
Horse Guards as the Queen's Life Guard.  It includes an officer, a Corporal
Major, a Trumpeter, two Non-Commissioned Officers, and ten Troopers.  If
she is not in London, we only send two NCOs and ten Troopers which is
called a Short Guard."

"Oh ok.  So you are going to have to work twenty-four hours on Wednesday
right?"

"Yes, but you can come and eat dinner with me."

"Really?"  There was a smile on Teddy's face.

"Yeah, babe.  You can come and eat with me or just come and visit some.
I'll show you around a little and you can meet the Regimental Commanding
Officer.  His office is upstairs in Horse Guards."

"That would be great."

"As long as the Queen doesn't leave London, otherwise I'll just be working
a normal day."

Teddy looked over at John, "Let's not tell the kids, we can surprise them."

"That's a great idea."

Teddy noticed Elizabeth was leading the way with her two partners in crime
right with her.  As they walked deeper into the park, she was pointing
things out to the twins.  When they walked past the fenced off area for the
Household Cavalry to practice the boys smiled wide.  When they made a right
just past the exercise area Teddy smiled.

John looked at him, "Do you know where we are going?"

"I'm not sure, but I have a good idea.  This is one of my favorite parts of
the park."

Edward leaned over, "It's one of hers too."  He looked over at John, "Just
up here is the Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Fountain.  It's one of the
most unique and beautiful things in the park."

Laura smiled and looked at Edward, "I've heard about it and I've always
wanted to see it."

Teddy looked to see where the kids were, "La, it's the same as
John's... just much... MUCH... larger."

Edward blushed a deep red, Laura burst out laughing and John reached over
wrapping his arm around Teddy's neck. "You better be glad you're injured
dork.  Just remember, I never forget."

"I hope the boys don't take after you... oh wait, no worries... they're
already bigger."  Teddy pulled away and tried to hide behind Edward.

Edward tried his best fatherly voice.  "Boys... behave.  Don't make me
separate you two."

Dylan and Matthew stopped in their tracks.  Matthew turned around and
looked back, "We didn't..."  Matthew stopped when Dylan put his hand on his
brother's arm.

"It's just Uncle Teddy being bad.  Mr. Edward, you may need to spank him."

The comment made John and Ted laugh.  John looked over at his wife, "That
my son."

Teddy leaned towards Laura smiling, "That kid better pick a really cheap
trade school is all I have to say."  He then grabbed Edward's arm, "Are you
gonna spank me?"  The grin on his face was matched by his eyebrows
wiggling.

Edward blushed, "I'll get back to you on that... in two weeks."

"Two weeks... yeah... I'll remind you."

* * *

By lunchtime the kids were exhausted from playing in the park.  They had
just returned to the flat and had a light lunch then they went to take
naps.  While the children slept the adults sat around the living room
enjoying their time together talking.

"Edward, why don't you call and see if Tony and Andrew want to come for
dinner.  I think we still owe them dinner... and a hell of a lot more.  But
let's make it an early night."

Edward reached for his mobile phone, "Good idea, I'll call them."  He
walked from the room to make the call.

Laura laid her head on John's leg as she looked at Teddy.  "What do you
want to do for dinner?  It sucks that you can't drink we could've had a
party."

"La, you all can drink.  I really wouldn't mind."

"I know sweetie, but I can do without drinking.  It's just not as fun when
you aren't drinking."

"Oh yeah, I have some good memories of being toasted at your house now."
He thought back to Edward carrying him up the stairs.

Edward walked back into the room as he hung up the phone.  "They will be
here about four.  I will go to the store this time and you can stay home."

"You don't need to babe.  I had extra stuff delivered from Tesco while we
were gone and I got enough for them also."  Teddy looked over at Devon,
"Why don't you invite Dustin to dinner?"

His face instantly brightened, "You wouldn't mind?"

"Of course I don't mind.  If you don't call him I will."  Teddy reached out
and squeezed Devon's shoulder, "Remember, this is your home too.  You never
need to worry about me not wanting Dustin here."

Devon smiled and then he lowered his voice, "Can I ask you a question?"

"Sure, you want to go in the other room?"  Teddy had picked up on his body
language and lowered voice, thinking that Devon wanted some privacy.  They
walked into the kitchen and Teddy grabbed a new bottle of water from the
fridge.

"I know I have thanked you for the things you had Mr. Wright do for me, but
I wanted to thank you again."

"You're family Devon.  Edward and I aren't kidding when we say that.  You
don't need to thank me."

"I was just curious.  We've never discussed my salary for working here.
Dustin told me to ask you."

Teddy smiled, "He did, did he?"  A quiet laugh came out before he started
talking again.  "He remembers the shock he got when he came to work for me.
Well Devon, what were you making in the army?"

"I just got a raise to twenty-three thousand pounds."

"Oh wow.  Did Dustin tell you how much he makes?"

Devon thought about it for a minute, "No, he never mentioned the amount.
All he said was to hold on to my shorts when I found out."

The comment made Teddy burst out laughing, "I guess I should tell you.  I
hadn't even realized we haven't talked about it.  How does two thousand
pounds sound?"

"A month?  That's great, just a little more than I was making in the army."

Teddy shook his head, "No Devon, that's a week NOT a month."

Devon couldn't speak, he just looked at Teddy.  "That's way too much."

"Well, let's think about this for a second.  You live here and you pretty
much work 24 hours a day seven days a week if you look at it.  So the way I
see it, that's just a little under twelve pounds an hour."

"Dustin is never gonna believe it."

Teddy thought about it and then smiled.  "Tell you what, how about I pay
you an extra pound in the last paycheck of the year?"

"Why is that?"  Devon's confused look on his face matched the sound of his
voice.

"That way you make one pound more than Dustin."  Teddy winked at him.

* * *

As he was sitting in the kitchen, Teddy was joined by Dylan who put his
head against Teddy's arm.  "Uncle Teddy, will you play with me?"

Teddy reached over and picked Dylan up and sat him on his lap.  "Alright
kiddo, what's going on with you?"

Dylan's eyes became moist and his lower lip was puffed out.  "You're going
to forget all about me now that you and Mister Edward are together.  You
have Elizabeth now."  He buried his face in Teddy's chest as he started to
cry.

Edward who had been walking by had heard Dylan and it made him want to cry
to.  He was afraid that there would be some kind of problem with the kids.
He felt silly for thinking that their getting along so well meant this
wouldn't be an issue.

Teddy was rubbing Dylan's back and was starting to cry himself.  He felt
Edward walk up behind him and was surprised when Edward knelt down behind
Dylan and placed his big hand on Dylan's back.

Dylan picked his head up and looked at Edward who picked him up from
Teddy's lap and wrapped him in a hug.  Dylan laid his head on Edward's
shoulder.

"Dylan, can I tell you a secret?"

His couldn't stop his crying to speak, but he did nod his head.

"Your Uncle Teddy and I love you very much.  There isn't a day that goes by
that we don't miss you and wish we could see you.  There isn't anything or
anyone that is going to change that."  Edward noticed that Dylan had
stopped crying and was looking at him.  "You are very special to your Uncle
Teddy and that makes you even more special to me. Do you understand?"

Sounding a little more confident Dylan nodded his head again, "Yes, sir."

Edward placed a hand on Teddy's shoulder.  He had hidden his lover from
Dylan's view because he knew Teddy would still be crying.  He felt Teddy's
hand cover his own and squeezed lightly.  Edward looked into Dylan's eyes,
which were now starting to dry.  "I'll tell you what.  Why don't the three
of us go and do something?  I want you to meet someone."

Teddy looked up at Edward and wasn't sure what he had on his mind.  Before
he could say anything, Dylan answered, "That would be great, but I wouldn't
want to leave Matthew and Elizabeth."

"That is very mature of you Dylan.  How about it's just us guys then, I
know Bess won't mind."

"Yes, sir.  That would be great."

* * *

A short time later, Edward was driving the group in the Range Rover.
Edward hadn't told Teddy what he was planning, but when they made they
crossed Kensington Road and made the right onto South Carriage Drive Teddy
realized where they were going.

Pulling up to the gate at Knightsbridge caused the boys' eyes to grow huge.
The sentry came to attention and saluted when he saw who was driving.  The
gate was opened and Edward pulled into the courtyard.  He parked and then
opened the back door for the boys to climb out.

"I thought I would show you where I work.  There is also someone here I
want you to meet."

Neither of the twins said anything, they just looked around at everything.
Each one had a death grip on one of Edward's hands.  Teddy was walking
behind them as they headed for the stables and he was enjoying seeing the
boys spend time with Edward.  Even though he had already been here, he
could relate to the reaction he was seeing in the twins.

As they walked up the ramp towards the stables, Dylan looked up at Edward.
"Was that a horse I heard?"

Edward smiled, "It sure was, just wait."

The group kept walking past they Cavalry Blacks until they came to a horse
that Teddy recognized.  The moment Thunder saw them his ears perked up and
he moved towards Edward.  Both the twins froze and tried to hide behind
their big friend, as Edward rubbed Thunder's head and neck.

"Ok lads, this is Thunder."  Edward looked down at them.  He picked Dylan
up and presented him to Thunder, who nudged the young boy with his nose.
Dylan giggled and reached out to rub the horse.  Where Dylan seemed
interested, Matthew was completed enthralled.  When Edward picked him up to
meet Thunder, he instantly reached out and started to rub the charger.

Edward noticed Matthew's interest, "Do you want to sit on him?"

Matthew's smile exploded, "Can I?"

Edward didn't answer he just moved around and sat Matthew on Thunder's
back.  "Ok, you need to sit still, and don't kick your feet."

Matthew got a serious look on his face, "Yes, sir."

Teddy was holding Dylan's hand who was smiling up at his brother.  Neither
noticed the man walking up behind them.

"Are we doing some early recruiting Captain?"

Everyone turned and looked where the voice came from.  Teddy instantly
recognized the young man, dressed in a t-shirt and soccer shorts, standing
next to him.  Teddy could feel himself become suddenly self conscious.

Edward smiled, "I was hoping we'd see you today."  He turned to look at
Matthew, "You'll be ok for a minute?"

Matthew nodded and Edward walked towards the rest of the group.
"Lieutenant Wales, this is my partner Ted Jackson.  Ted this is Lieutenant
Harry Wales."

Ted extended his hand toward Harry and smiled.  When Harry grasped his
hand, Teddy lowered and then raised his head, "Your Highness, it is a great
honor to meet you."

"Please, just Harry."  He smiled at Teddy, "I'm glad to meet you and I'm
sorry to hear about you being hurt.  I hope you're doing better."

Teddy couldn't help but smile, "I'm doing much better thank you."

"I'm glad to hear it."  Harry turned his attention to Dylan, "And who are
you?"

"Dylan Hillsgrove."  Dylan extended his little hand and shook Harry's
larger hand.  "What is a high... highness?"

Harry smiled and kneeled down to get on the same level with Dylan.  "Not
from around here are you?"

"No, sir.  I'm from Savannah.  We came here on Uncle Teddy's jet because he
got hurt."

"Well, do you know what a Prince is?"

"Yes, sir."

"I'm a Prince, my grandmother is the Queen."

"Wow..."  Dylan was pretty speechless, a first that Teddy could remember.

Edward had walked over and taken Matthew from Thunder's back.  When he was
on the ground, Matthew walked over to where Harry and Dylan were standing.
He extended his hand towards Harry, "I'm Matthew."

"Hello, Matthew.  Did you like Thunder?"

"Yes, sir.  I want to be just like Uncle Edward when I grow up."

Edward's face instantly turned into a smile and Teddy's did also.  For both
it was caused by the change to Edward being called "Uncle."  Even though he
knew the boys loved him, this was the first time either of them had called
him their uncle.

"Well, I have to go meet some of the lads for footie.  You back in the
morning?"

"Oh yeah, I'm the Orderly Officer tomorrow."

"Guess, I will see you in the morning for watering order."  He turned to
address the boys and Teddy, "It was a pleasure to meet all of you."  He
then extended his hand towards Teddy again, "I look forward to seeing you
again soon."

"Thank you.  I was truly an honor."

As Harry walked off, Edward leaned over toward Teddy.  "Surprise."

"You mean, you..."

"Yeah, babe.  I called him before we left the flat.  He has wanted to meet
you since he saw us in the park that morning.  He was going to come by the
hospital, but he had to make an appearance out of town."

"Thank you, Edward.  Check that one off of the list of things I've always
wanted to do."

"Well, you better get used to being around him.  He's become a good friend,
he's a really good guy."

* * *

Walking back into the flat they were greeted at the door by Bess.  She was
smiling at them and Edward picked her up and kissed her.  He leaned over
and kissed Teddy before she was placed back down.  She turned her attention
to the twins, "Did you get to meet Thunder?"

The twins started talking at once and all three were soon off to
Elizabeth's room.  Teddy and Edward laughed t them and walked towards the
living room.  As they walked past the kitchen, they saw Devon and Dustin
standing at the stove cooking together.

"Are those Dustin's cookies I smell?"

Dustin turned and smiled, "They sure are.  I made enough for everyone and
then some extras just for you."

"You're a keeper Dustin.  I hope someone realizes that."  He reached over
grabbing two cookies off of the cooling rack on the counter.

"I'm sure someone might realize that."  Devon was the one who said it,
causing both Teddy and Edward to smile.

"Tony and Andrew should be here shortly.  I better get started cooking."

Devon quickly answered, "Dustin and I are going to cook dinner.  I hope you
don't mind."

"Oh..."  Teddy was surprised, "I don't mind.  Didn't want you guys to have
to do it though."

"We're good with it.  Trust us."  Dustin smiled and began to shoo them from
the kitchen.

* * *

Sitting around the table watching everyone eat steak was not Ted's idea of
fun.  He was still on a restricted diet because of the repaired damage to
his intestine.  He was having some broth, which was not making a dent in
his hunger.  Listening to the conversation around the table made him happy.
All of the people gathered were interacting with each other freely and it
was allowing him to just sit back and listen.

"Teddy, how was your afternoon with the boys?"  Laura asked as she put more
steak in her mouth.

Teddy just smiled at her, "It was incredible.  Did the boys tell you who
they met?"

"No, they said they met some people Edward worked with and Thunder."  She
laughed, "I swear the horse's was the only name that Matthew could
remember."

"Oh, really?"  Teddy looked over at Dylan, "Dylan, did you meet anyone
special today?"

"I met Harry...  He's a Prince."

Laura who had been taking a drink found her water coming out of her nose.
She coughed and coughed, as Teddy and everyone else laughed.  "You met
Prince Harry?"

"Yes, ma'am."  Dylan didn't understand his mother's reaction.

"So Edward, can I go to work with you tomorrow?"  She smiled and Edward as
she had said it.

John leaned over, "Don't you think he's a little young for you dear?"

"Of course not... "

Everyone just laughed.  Andrew looked over at Tony, "We better up his
security until she leaves the country."  Another round of laughter broke
out.

The conversation continued for the rest of the meal, with everyone becoming
closer.  John and Laura both thought that these were great people that
Teddy and Edward had surrounded themselves with and they wish they were
closer to them.

It wasn't much later that everyone had decided to call it a night and
started to head out or to bed.  Teddy noticed that Dustin and Devon were
talking in the living room quietly.  He thought they made a good couple and
hoped that they could each find happiness with the other.  Just after the
children were put to bed, Edward appeared in the living room looking for
Teddy.

"Hey babe, you ready for bed?"

"Yup."  He stood and looked over at Devon and Dustin, "You guys have a good
night."

They looked at each other and smiled before they looked back at Ted.  They
each said their good nights and went back to talking as Edward and Teddy
left the room.

After a quick shower with not too much sexual temptations, Edward and Teddy
climbed into bed.  Edward set the alarm, even though he was sure he
wouldn't need it.  He climbed behind Teddy and kissed him on the neck, "I
love you."

Teddy smiled and snuggled back into Edward's chest, "I love you too."
