 February 26, 2009

Today is the third anniversary of the day that Kelly, Joe and I decided to
live our lives as a threesome.  Who would have thought that so much would
have happened in so little time?  Things were going great.  We really had
it all worked out.  Joe actually found the house that we ended up moving
into.  Six months after we moved in, Kelly came home with some bad news.
She had breast cancer in both breasts.  She had a double mastectomy, but it
had spread.  She lost the battle on January 3, 2007, and we lost a great
friend and lover.  It was hard to adjust after she left us.  Brianna was a
total wreck for so long, but Joe and I found a great child psychologist,
she is doing much better now.  After Kelly's death, Joe decided to also
come out as being bi.  He had more of a hard time than Lance did, but he
received a lot of support from fans.

Joe and I decided that although Kelly is no longer with us, we would still
celebrate today as our anniversary.  As I write, we are on a plane heading
north to Boston.  Joe, Bri and I are going to go visit our newest family
members; HR and Lance's babies.  I was shocked when I heard how they were
going to have children of their own together.  Maybe someday Joe and I will
try, but for now life is hectic enough with my two kids an eight year old
and a thirty-two year old.  And though we were two of the very few people
who knew when Tribora was going to have the babies, we were sworn to
secrecy and had to promise that we wouldn't arrive before anyone else knew.
Now of course once I knew when it was happening, I booked our flight and
hotel.  Well actually I booked the flight.  HR did the hotel stuff.  His
boss was amazing, and made sure that the entire family had rooms at the
hotel.

The family that had once just been made up of five boys, was now
overwhelming.  Chris and Josh have both gotten married.  Chris now has two
little boys, Austin (18 months) and Jeff (6 months) he and his wife Shayna
got married shortly after they found out she was pregnant.  Josh married a
lovely woman, Charlotte, and they have a little girl Alicia, who's first
birthday was just two weeks ago.  Chris and Josh are convinced that Austin
and Alicia will grow up, fall in love and get married.  They are just too
funny.  Justin is actually engaged to Josh's sister Heather.  No one saw
that coming.  I'm not sure who was more surprised by it Josh or Heather.
And now more than ever each guy's parents think that they are everyone's
parents.  Each kid has at least six sets of grandparents (Brianna has
seven, including my parents).  And with the quints being born, everyone is
going to be arriving in Boston this week.

I stopped writing when Joe took the ear bud from my ipod out of my ear.
"Sugar, we are going to be landing soon, you need to turn off the laptop
and the ipod."

"Thanks babe.  I didn't realize how long I've been writing for.  I'm sorry
that I neglected you the whole flight."

"Drew, don't worry about it.  Bri and I had a fun time without you playing
with our GameBoy DS's."  Didn't I tell you I had two kids?

"Dad, stop it." Bri whined.  "DD was doing work.  Don't make him feel bad."

Oh, I should probably clarify that.  Brianna started calling me Daddy Drew,
and as she got older shortened it to DD.  I still tear a little every time
I hear her call me that.  She accepted me as part of her life without
question.

"Bri, you know that I'm just joking with DD.  Now, you put away our toys,
and DD will put away his toys.  I want to get off the plane as soon as we
land."

I leaned over and kissed Joe on the cheek.  "Babe, you need to put your own
toys away too.  Do not make our daughter do it for you," I said laughing.

"Yeah, I agree with DD, put away your toys," Bri piped in.

"Hey," I said.  "I can say it to Dad, you cannot.  Apologize to your
father."

"I'm sorry Dad for being fresh."

"It's okay Sweet Pea, let's just do as DD says," he said, and then
continued in a whisper "I don't want to get in trouble."

Once we landed, we got our luggage and went to pick up the rental car.  Joe
didn't see a point in renting a car, considering we were in Boston, and
could take the T.  I knew better, I would rather drive than take the T.
Especially to get to Lance's house from the hotel, I mean we're in the
middle of winter in Boston.  Who wants to stand around waiting for a bus or
a train?  I being the practical one, made sure we had something with four
wheel drive.  I had also ordered a new winter jacket and snow pants for
Brianna from LL Bean, which I had sent directly to the hotel.  She had
grown out of her old things, and since we hadn't gone north yet this
winter, we hadn't purchased new ones.  I got them a size big, so that
hopefully she can use them next year too.  It was really cold and snowing
when we arrived, so I made Joe wait inside the terminal with Brianna so I
could get the H3 (okay so I splurged, but its just such a cool looking
thing, and it was the only thing they had with four wheel drive).

I drove to the hotel and we went to the lobby to check in.  I was glad to
see Jackie at the desk.  Over the past three years, we have spent a lot of
time staying at HR's hotel.  I have seen many staff members come and go,
but there are a few old timers still around.  We waited until all the other
guests were assisted before approaching the desk.

"Mr. Fatone and Mr. W," Jackie started.

"Jackie.  What have we said?" Joe interrupted.

"I'm sorry Joey and Drew."

"Much better.  Now Jackie, how are you doing?"

"I'm great."

"And school?"

"This is my last year.  I'll be graduating in May with honors."

"Wonderful," I said.  "We're gonna miss you being here."

"I'm going to miss being here too.  But I've already gotten a few offers
from some of the big drug companies.  Now, we have you in 804 and 802 this
time.  The Kirkpatrick's took the two bedroom apartment."

"Oh, that's fine.  It's better for them with the babies," Joe said.

"DD, can I go visit Uncle Bill and Mr. Brian?"  Brianna asked.

"Oh, sweetie Bill isn't here today," Jackie replied.

"Is he sick?  He's never not here," I said worried.

"No, he's fine.  He just has a full day meeting off-property.  He'll be
back tomorrow.  He wanted me to make sure that you guys get in touch with
him while you are here."

"No worries there.  Bri, couldn't be here without spending time with her
favorite Uncle Bill.  Speaking of Bri, has a package arrived from LL Bean
for her?"

"Yup, it's already in her room.  And let me call up to Brian and see if
he's available."

We waited a few moments while Jackie made the call.

"He said to just stop by his office once you're settled.  He'll be in there
all afternoon.  Have you heard how Tribora is doing and the babies?  We all
miss her terribly."

"Everyone is great.  She mentioned yesterday on the phone that she would
probably be taking non-family visitors by the end of the week once she's
back home," I explained.  "Hey can you let us know when everyone else
arrives and make sure they know where we are?"

"Of course."

We said our good-byes and went to our rooms.  The connecting door was
opened and everything was set just the way we like it.  Bill even made sure
that my favorite coffee was in the room.  The hotel is just too good to us.

"Dad, DD, can I go to Mr. Brian's office?"

"Sweet Pea, why don't you unpack first?  Then we'll go to Brian and
afterwards we'll go see your new cousins," Joe said.

"I can't open the box by myself, DD will you help?"

"Of course Sweet Pea, I want to make sure they sent the right things
anyways."

Within the half hour we were unpacked and with winter coats and my camera
in hand we went to go visit with Brian.

"Bri!"

"Mr. Brian!"

"It is so good to see you darling.  Are you all excited about your new
cousins?"

"Yes Mr. Brian.  I can't wait to see them.  Did you know the oldest has my
Dad's name, because he and Uncle Lance and bestest friends?"

"I didn't know that.  I haven't had much of a chance to talk to HR or
Tribora.  I didn't want to bother them with everyone else coming by.  But I
do have something that I'd like you to take over to them if you don't
mind."

"Not a problem," I said.

Brian pointed to a huge box behind him.  "This is from the hotel, for the
babies, and one of the smaller boxes is for Tribora, the other is for Lance
and HR."

I was surprised at the size of the boxes, considering that the smaller
boxes were still quite large.  "I'm not sure we can carry that."

"Oh, yeah, I guess it is a little large.  I went a little overboard
shopping, but on the other hand everyone at the hotel chipped in.  And
considering I'm the GM, I decided to have the hotel itself chip in too.
The smaller boxes are from my wife and me.  How about I send one of the
housekeepers along with you.  He can use the hand truck to cart the boxes
over."

"Um, sure."  I didn't want to say anything, considering this is HR's boss,
but don't you think it would make more sense to just send everything over
to the house instead of the hospital?  But I'm not going to argue with the
man.

So after Brianna got to play `Hotel' with Brian for a bit, meaning he let
her play on his computer and lets her make `decisions' about guest issues
and the hotel in general.  We headed over to the hospital, with giant boxes
in tow.

Joe and I were walking holding hands, Brianna skipping ahead of us.

"Not so far, Sweet Pea," I called out.

"Ok DD."  She said as skipped back to us.

What I would give to have the energy of an eight year old.  I love staying
at home and being a full time dad, but that girl wears me out.  Although
her dad does a good job of wearing me out too, and I'm a year younger than
he is.  I chuckled.

"What?" Joe asked.

"I love you Joe."

"And that is something to laugh about?"

"No, but thinking the dirty thoughts I am, is."

"Oooh.  Am I getting lucky tonight?"

"Hmm.  I think that would be a yes."

We stopped walking and he kissed me.  Hard and passionately, right in the
middle of the hospital lobby.  When he started slipping his tongue into my
mouth I knew it was time to stop, and I pulled away.

"Joe, babe.  This is not the place."

"Sorry.  I got carried away.  I love you Andrew."

I love it when he calls me Andrew, it means he's really serious about
something, and when it's prefaced with an `I love you,' it means he is
extremely horny.  If he's mad, he will also call me Andrew, but it is
usually followed by my last name.

I leaned over to him and whispered in his ear.  "Maybe we can get the guys
to watch Bri for a bit, and we can find an empty room to play in."

"Really?"

"We'll see what happens, but first I want to see our new nephews and
nieces."

We went up to Tribora's hospital room.  It was filled with flowers and
balloons, and of course people.  Bora's mother Diane and brother Antwun
(pronounced like Antoine) were there, as were Lance's parents, HR's
parents, Craig and Aimee.

"Hey is there room for three more in here?"  Joe asked sticking his head in
the room.

"Joe!  Drew!  It is so good to see you guys.  Thanks for coming up."  Lance
said.  "Where's my goddaughter?"

"Did you think we wouldn't be here?  Let's be serious," I said.  "And she
is right behind me."

"Uncle Lance, I missed you.  You never come to visit anymore."

"Baby, you know that I live up here.  And with waiting for the babies to
come, it's been hard to visit you guys in Orlando."

"I know.  But now that I am in third grade, I can't just drop everything
and visit here either.  Do you know how much I am missing in school because
I am here?  Why couldn't Auntie Bora have the babies last week when I was
on vacation?"

Wow, power trip anyone?  "Brianna, that is not nice of you to say to your
godfather.  You should treat him with respect.  Your teachers know why we
are away this week, and I have all your work that you are missing.  Now
apologize to Lance.  And to HR and Tribora too," I said.  I hate being the
disciplinary one in the household, but Joe would let our daughter get away
with murder.

"I'm sorry Uncle Lance, Uncle Heath and Auntie Bora.  I didn't mean to be
rude.  It's just that third grade is so hard.  We're doing multiplication,
and learning script letters."

"Baby, maybe one afternoon while you are here, we can spend some time
together and we'll do the hardest work that you have."

"Really Uncle Lance?  You want to spend time with me still, even though you
have your own kids now."

"Brianna, of course I want to spend time with you.  It is going to be a
little harder now, but I will always be your godfather and your favorite
uncle.  Now come here and give me a hug."

Lance got down on his knees and Bri ran into his arms, holding on for dear
life.  Now I understand why she has been acting out the way she has.
Leyton was never a threat to her, because the girls had always known each
other, and the older Lindsay children became her friends when they became
part of the family.  But with new babies, she is probably feeling like she
is being replaced.

"So where are the little ones?" Joe asked as he stuck his hand in my back
pocket and pinched my ass.  HR saw what Joe had done.

"They are in the nursery," Fran replied.

"Bri, would you like to go see your cousins?"  I asked.

"Why don't you leave her here for a little bit, so she can spend time with
Jamie?  You guys go down there and take as much time as you want.  Bri will
be fine here," HR said raising his eyebrows, and giving us a smile.

"Ahh, yeah. So that sounds good.  We'll see you guys in a little while.  I
want to get a bunch of pictures, and stuff."

"Yeah, stuff," agreed Joe.

He and I walked out of the room, his arm around my waist.

"Do you want to see the babies, or find an empty room first?" Joe asked.

"Joe I was kidding earlier.  We are not going to have sex in a hospital
room.  That is just wrong.  Never mind the fact that neither one of us have
lube with us.  Let's go see the babies."

"Okay, fine.  We'll play with the babies, and then I am going to get to
play with you." He said pulling me close to him and kissing me hard.

We walked towards the nursery.  I saw them right away.  Five beautiful
babies, with gorgeous light brown skin, and most of them had a full head of
hair.  The girls look almost identical, and just like HeathRiley.  Two of
the boys were a good mix of their three parents, but the third one, Joe's
namesake, was a little Lance.  Even his hair was spiky the way Lance used
to wear his.

"Joe, look at them," I said snapping away with my camera, trying not to
cry.

"I know Sugar.  I know.  Lance and HR are so lucky that they have someone
that would do this for them.  If only. . ." he started crying, and so did
I.

We sat down on a bench in the hallway, holding on to one another.  Both
missing Kelly so much, but unable to say the words.  If only she were still
alive the three of us could have gone through this process as well.  We
could have had a child that was all of ours.  Not that Bri isn't mine in
every sense of the word, except biologically of course.  After Kelly
passed, I had adopted Brianna.  It was a little while later when Lance came
down the hall wondering what had happened to Joe and me.  We had stopped
crying, but were still clinging to each other.

"Joe, Drew?  What's wrong?"  Lance asked.

Joe picked up his head, and looked at Lance.  Lance knew.  The two of them
were that close.  Lance ran the rest of the way over and enveloped both of
us into a hug.

"Joe, I am so sorry.  I didn't even think how much this would hurt."

"Scoop, don't worry about it.  We're okay.  It just hit hard, ya know?"

"Oh, I know.  I wish that I could make this easier on you."

"Please, don't worry about us.  Let's just be happy about your quints, and
how much these little guys are going to be spoiled," I said.  "Lance, I
promise you, we'll be okay."

"Okay, if you say so.  But don't forget I am here for you if either of you
need to talk, or even just some more alone time.  Ry and I would be happy
to take Bri home with us tonight."

"No you guys need your rest before the babies come home.  And Bri has her
own room anyways."  Joe said.

"Oh I forgot to tell you.  Justin and Heather are here, and so are Chris,
Shayna and the boys."

"Great.  Do you know when Josh is coming in?"  Joe asked.

"Tomorrow, on the red-eye.  He couldn't get a direct flight for today, and
didn't want to transfer with Alicia.  He's hoping she'll sleep the whole
flight.  Personally, I hope so, because otherwise there will be a whole
plane pissed off at him."

"Ali is a good flyer.  They do cross-country all the time with her," I
said.

We headed back to Tribora's room, which was more packed than ever.
Sometime while Joe and I were crying, they had moved the babies to the room
for feeding time.  And with the six new people, the room was stuffed.  Joe
and I greeted our friends with hugs and kisses, and decided to head back to
the hotel for dinner.  The nine of us, Chris, Shayna, Austin, Jeff, Justin,
Heather, Brianna, Joe and I ate at the hotel's restaurant.  It was a great
meal, even with Jeff spitting up his formula all over my pants.  Afterwards
Joe, Bri and I went to our rooms and watched a Disney movie.  When Bri went
to sleep, Joe and I went to have our own fun.

"Wow, it has been one hell of a long day.  I'm gonna go to sleep," I said
teasing Joe.

"Yes it has, and we are going to bed, but who said anything about sleep,"
Joe said coming up behind me and sucking on my neck.

"But we've been up since four."

"And you, mister, have made sure to keep me horny all day long.  We are
going to make love tonight."

I turned around in my love's arms and said, "Yes we are."

We undressed each other and climbed on the bed.  On our knees with Joe in
front of me we started touching each other.  We were both so hot, that it
didn't take very much foreplay before I cried out, "just take me, please."

Joe moved so that he was behind me.  He slicked himself with lube, and
entered me slowly.  I threw my head back, and he started kissing along my
neck, and playing with my nipples.  I moved my hands to his hips, and
started caressing them, eventually pushing him to move deeper inside me.
Our bodies were glistening in the moonlight.  Each time Joe hit my spot I
cried out.  It wasn't long before I couldn't hold back any longer and I
came, long thick ropes of cum shooting across the bed.  Joe came deep
inside me moments later.

I fell down on the bed, trying to miss the wet spot, but failing.

"Babe, I think we need to clean up."

"Sugar, I think I need to kiss you, and then we can go clean up."  Which he
proceeded to do.  We showered together, and then Joe checked the closet,
where sure enough there were extra sheets.  Bill knows us way too well.
