Damien and Alex

Part 4

DAMIEN
It was perfect timing so the two of laughed to each as we walked down to the
table. When we got there we noticed dad had done one of his famous roasts.
Everyone thought it was delicious even nana.

Once it was finished we went into the lounge room where mum put on a cd for
nana to listen to. As soon as the music started I nervously looked over at
Alex and knew that he was thinking the same thing `why did she have to put
on one of our cd's.'

Why, oh why did you have to go/ before I got to show/ you how much I love
you/ how much I need you
I love you/ I need you/ cant you come back/ to me today
I remember the time/ You gave me your last dime/ It mad me feel so special/
I just want you to know/
I love you/ I need you/ Cant you come back/ to me today/ come back, come
back/ come back to me today.

Of all the songs it had to play it had to be the one we did for Alex's mum.
I noticed the tears in his eyes so I pulled him close to let him know how
much I loved him. The other five looked over just as he burst open and let
all the tears roll. "What's the matter?" Nana Joy asked.

"Alex and I wrote that song for his mum just after she died. We haven't
listened to it before tonight as I was afraid that it would do this to him,"
I explained.

Mum turned the stereo off and they all came over and gave us a hug. When we
broke off I took Alex by the hand and went to bed.

When we got into bed I realized that he had stopped crying. He pulled me
close and said "that was beautiful wasn't it?"

"Yea. It was hun but now I think you should get some sleep. Don't worry I
wont leave you here I plan to hold you and go to sleep too," I said noticing
the worried look on his face.

I cuddled up to him and we both drifted off to sleep.
The next thing I knew it was three am and I needed the toilet. I slowly
edged out from Alex and went into the bathroom. While I was pissing I
thought about everything that had happened this year alone. I mean Alex lost
his mum, Alex and I have missed death by an inch twice, dad was shot, Nana
Joy was here, Alex and I became engaged and all of year twelve became so
close. I must have stood there for a while as I had stopped pissing ages
before I realized that I had. When I went back in the clock said it was
almost four o'clock. I crawled back in and fell back to sleep straight away.

I woke up to a kiss at seven o'clock. I smiled and kissed him back. Once we
were showered and dressed we headed downstairs for breakfast. The only
person that wasn't up was mum. The others were all sitting at the table
eating.

"Damien do you want to go and wake up your mother?" Dad asked.

"Sure Dad!" I said as I raced up to their room to notice that mum wasn't in
there. I knocked on the bathroom door and mum yelled, "I am busy at the
moment use one of the other toilets."

"Mum it's me. Dad had sent me up here to wake you up are you feeling ok?" I
told her.

"Yea. I am just feeling a little sick can you ask your father to come up
here please?" she yelled back.

I raced down and told dad, "Mum wants to see you in the main bathroom right
away."

Well, I have never seen him move so fast. He was up the stairs and knocking
on the bathroom door in two seconds flat. Not one of us at the table heard
what was said up there but both of them came downstairs happier than they
have been in a long time. I looked up and I knew they were keeping something
quiet. Then it hit me. At first I thought `she can't be. It would explain a
lot though. I will have to ask' lucky for me mum and dad both went into the
kitchen so I quickly went in to ask, "Mum are you pregnant?" I asked quietly
so no one at the table would hear.

"Yea I am. How did you guess?" she replied.

"I just put two and two together at the table." I answered, "So when are you
going to tell the rest of the household?"

"Well I think that now we better tell them today," Dad replied. The three of
us walked back to the table and saw the curious looks on four faces.

"Well seeing one person figured out what is going on I think the rest of you
should know. I am pregnant," Mum announced as soon as she sat down.

The rest of the table looked at her with shock at first then the
congratulations started. Once everyone had settled down dad and I brought
everyone's breakfast. Soon enough it was time to go to school thankfully it
was Friday. But it also meant that it was only one week until our wedding.
Today we had decided to invite all the year twelve's.

We walked out to my car and jumped in. I noticed James walking outside and
yelled, "Hay James you need a lift?"

"Nah. My car has been fixed but thanks anyway," he yelled back.

So I pulled out of the driveway and drove to school. We got stuck at the
traffic lights and to our surprise we saw Alex's dad cross the road holding
a gun. I picked up the car phone and informed the police of what he was
doing. They asked us to follow him and tell them where he went. We agreed
and noticed he was walking towards the school and told the police that and
they said, "A car is coming up behind you." At that very moment, we were
glad to hear that and I checked the rear vision mirror and noticed the cop
car. We pulled over and let him pass us and pick up Alex's dad. We both
sighed in relief as he was placed in the back of the police car. We then
pulled out and drove to school.

James was standing at the gate waiting for us. "What took you two so long?"
He asked as we pulled up.

"We saw dad on his way here with another gun and we got the police," Alex
explained.

"Have they got him?" James asked.

"Yea we made sure of that," I replied.

"Thank goodness," he sighed.

We then walked up to the school together. I was so relieved to know that
Alex's dad was in jail it meant things would go smoothly for the week
leading up to the wedding. In the common room before school Alex and I
invited everyone to our wedding the following Saturday at our house. They
all accepted and said, "Yea of course we will be there." That's so much of a
relief knowing that they would all be there.

The rest of the day was so light hearted. I mean even the teachers were
relaxed after the week we had been through together. At lunchtime we all
congregated into the common room just to chill out and relax without the
presence of a teacher. Unfortunately we were interrupted when James rushed
in to find Alex and I.

"Boys can you come to my office immediately" he whispered with urgency in
his voice.

We rushed out with him. "What's wrong?" I asked as soon as we got into his
office.

"Someone hit your mother with a car. She and the baby are ok but the
suspicion is that it was our dad though they released him an hour before the
incident," James explained.

When Alex and I heard that we raced to Mrs P's office to get permission from
her to go straight to the hospital. She was waiting for us. "Off you two go.
I have been waiting for you two to come as soon as I heard. I told James to
tell you immediately" she told him.

With that we raced to my car and drove straight to the hospital. We went to
the desk and asked, "What room is Mrs Alexander in?"

"She is in room two thirty eight. Who is asking?" she responded.

"I am her son and this is my fiancé," I replied.

She looked surprised but we didn't care. We raced to her room to see my dad
and our nana's sitting with her. "What are you two doing here?" she asked
when she saw us.

"It's ok mum Mrs P gave us permission to be here with you. James sends his
regards too," I answered.

She pulled the two of us close and whispered, "Thanks you two for being here
but I am ok. I want you two to go back to school and also tell James that I
will see him at home. Yes they have allowed me to go home at three. They
just want to make sure that the baby and I are ok."

Then gave us the look of `if you two don't do what I say you are in trouble'
so we left and went back to school. I was glad that we only had English that
afternoon.

When we arrived in the class James called us over and asked, "How come you
two are back?"

"She made us and she told us to tell you that she will see you at home
tonight as the doctors are letting her go at three," Alex explained.

"Ok go and take your seats. It's going to be a light lesson anyway," he
replied.

We went to our usual seat and sat down. I was surprised that I was keeping
it together so well as inside I just wanted to cry. I think Alex knew this
and was keeping a close eye on me. I was so pissed off at his father though
as he had attacked the people closest to me. I am just grateful that not one
of his attempts have succeeded.

When we got home mum was sitting in the lounge room resting so I went up to
my room and then I couldn't stop the tears from falling. Alex had been
expecting them and just pulled me close. The whole time he kept saying,
"It's going to be ok."

I cried for half an hour. As we finished mum came in and told us, "Stop
worrying about me. You two have a wedding to organize. Have you invited
everyone you wanted too?"

"Yea we did that this morning mum," Alex informed her.

She smiled when Alex called her mum for the first time. I told her, "We will
be down as soon as I have a shower." She nodded and went out.

"So will you be joining me in the shower?" Alex asked.

"Of course I will be," I managed to get out before I kissed him.

This time he carried me into the shower and undressed me. I laughed the
whole way. He managed to undress himself before I came to my senses and went
over to try and help, but all he did was push me back onto toilet seat
saying, "It's my turn to return the favour" and then started the shower.

We both climbed in giving each other a thorough wash before kissing. We
climbed out after being in there for nearly half an hour. We got dressed and
dried our hair and just let it hang how it fell after being dried then went
down stairs to find a pastor who would perform the wedding for us. It took
us two hours before we found someone that would actually perform a gay
wedding. But the guy said, "I will be honored to do it. One thing when is
it?"

I told him, "It's next Saturday" he replied.

"Good as that is the only day I have free for the next month," he replied.

I sighed in relief and announced to everyone, "We have a pastor that is
available for next Saturday to perform the wedding."

Well that was everything organized, in the actual wedding department. All
that we had to get now was suits but I knew an excellent tailors shop down
the road that would be Able to create excellent suits for us. I grabbed Alex
and told the adults, "We are just going to order our suits"

When we returned from the tailors shop the front door was wide open and I
heard my mum yell, "Boys get out and get the police NOW!"

Well we took her serious and got back into my car and called the police.
They were there in three minutes but just before the police arrived there
was a phone call to my car phone. "Hello," I said as I answered the phone.

"Hello Damien if you want your family to live get yours and Alex's arse in
here right now," he replied.

"We can't as we aren't there. We are with James at the school. Do you want
to speak to him?" I answered.

"Who the fuck is James and why would I want to speak to him?" He yelled
back.

Well that was it James took the phone and yelled back, "I am your eldest
fucking son that is now a teacher. I also hear sirens in the background.
Hopefully they keep you in jail."

"The reason I get out is because I make bail," he laughed back. With that
James hung the phone up.

The police didn't let us near the house until they had arrested Alex's dad.
But I was so relieved to know that he hadn't done anything to anyone one of
the others, and by the looks on their faces James and Alex were thinking the
same thing.

Just as the three of us got inside the phone rang. I answered it and I heard
Jenny say, "Hi Damien it's Jenny. Can Denise and I come over there is
something we need to chat to you and Alex about?"

I answered quickly, "Sure. You are one of my oldest friends and you know you
can always count on me. Be here in an hour as there are a couple of things
to be sorted out." Before she could ask any questions I added "I will
explain everything once you get here. See ya then"

She said, "See ya."

We both hung up the phone. Everyone asked who it was and I just replied, "It
was Jenny and her and Denise are coming over to discuss something with Alex
and I."

With that I walked up to my room to get changed. As I knew that this chat
with Jenny will take a while. It wasn't long before Alex too came up to get
changed. He realized that this would take a while too.

An hour later Jenny and Denise arrived. Alex and I took them up too our
room. Once seated Jenny started to explain. She said, "Eight months ago I
was raped and now I have fallen pregnant. I found out just before I rang you
this. I was glad that Denise was with me but I don't know what to do."

"Well how about we have a double wedding and then I will legally be the
father of this baby and the four of us move into the unit out the back and
raise the baby together?" I suggested.

Alex and Denise both said, "Good idea."

But I saw the troubled look in Jenny's eyes and I whispered to her, "What's
the matter?"

She whispered back, "I don't know if I am ready to be a mother yet."

I just smiled and whispered back, "The three of us will help you just as you
will help us."

She smiled and announced, "Ok. We will raise this baby as a family and have
a double wedding next week."

We all went down to tell the five adults of our plan. At first they were all
a bit surprised about the plan for the double wedding but went into overload
when we told them about our plan to be a family. My mum replied for all of
them when she asked, "Are you four sure about this?"

I quickly answered, "Mum, Jenny has found out that she is pregnant. I helped
her eight months ago when she was raped and now WE plan to help her raise
the child she is carrying. We plan to all live together in the unit out the
back."

Well the week went by very quickly and all the necessary changes were made
to make the wedding perfect for all of us.
All the year twelves were informed about the change too. But I think the
biggest shock was when Jenny and I went for her first ultrasound and we both
saw a healthy baby. The doctor asked, "Do you want to know the sex of the
baby?" we both shook our heads.

ALEX
Hi everyone it's me Alex again. I let Damien talk for a bit, as he knew what
to say and then everything that went on with Jenny leading up to the
wedding. Well it is Friday night and our wedding is tomorrow. Jenny and
Damien decided to sleep in the unit to get it ready for when we move in
tomorrow.
At nine thirty Denise and I got a phone call from Damien reminding us to be
up at seven thirty so the four of us could get things all set up. We laughed
and said that we had already set the alarm. Once we had hung up I turned to
Denise and she asked, "He is really nervous, isn't he?"

I laughed and nodded. We went straight to bed so that we would be awake to
help the other two in the morning.
At six thirty I woke up to Damien's lips on mine, and his tongue trying to
get into my mouth. I opened my mouth and he slipped his tongue straight in.
I heard a giggle and realized that Denise must have been getting the same
treatment as me. When I finally sat up it was seven o'clock. I turned the
alarm off and Damien led me into the shower. "Sorry I woke you up but I
missed you last night," Damien whispered.

I replied by saying, "I know what you mean that was the worst sleep I have
had in months."

He pulled me close and whispered, "You will never be alone for as long as
you live."

I smiled and then kissed him so passionately that they only way Jenny and
Denise could bring us to reality so that they could have a shower was to
flush the toilet. As soon as we felt the water freeze we turned the water
off and jumped out to two laughing women. We both gave them dirty looks
until Jenny announced, "We had to bring you two down to earth so we could
our shower and then set up for our wedding."

Well that brought us all to giggles. As they both jumped in the shower
Damien and I got into some tracks and tee shirt and then headed down to
breakfast. The nine adults (Jenny and Denise's parents were there too) were
sitting at the table talking. When they saw us they all smiled and dad
brought our breakfast. Just as we started eating Jenny and Denise walked
down. Dad had there breakfast at the table waiting for them when they sat
down. I noticed that out of everyone only Jenny and Damien seemed nervous.
They both hardly ate anything and were the first ones outside to help make
sure everything was set up perfectly. Denise and I decided that we had to
pull them away from it so they didn't have a nervous fit before it the
morning was over. But it only made them worse so we just sent them back
outside to finish things off. But they weren't going to allow us to get out
of it either they made sure that Denise and I were outside helping too.

After a while Denise and I broke into fits of laughter at the way Jenny and
Damien were acting. Well that made them both furious yelling at us saying
"Come on you two we haven't got time for this! The wedding is in an hour and
none of us are dressed yet." Lucky for us that the adults came out and told
the four of us, "Go and get ready we will finish things here."

Denise and Jenny went into the main house where all the adult females helped
them get ready by doing their hair and make up for them, while Damien and I
went into the unit and got ready in the separate bathrooms. After about half
an hour Damien and I were both ready and we went into the house to see how
Jenny and Denise were going. As we entered they both were coming down the
stairs all done up. Once the four of us were standing together the cameras
started being used until they were all out of film. The next half hour was
the longest that any of us had ever been through. We all went into James's
room while everyone got there and seated. Not one of us spoke the entire
time we were sitting there.

Finally the time came and we headed into the kitchen for a quick drink to
help settle whatever nerves anyone had. I was surprised when Damien said,
"No I don't want a drink."

Even though I thought he should I said nothing knowing it would stir up
something. Both Jenny and Denise joined me in the kitchen for a glass of
water while Damien started pacing in the kitchen. I went to him with a glass
and whispered "Drink this it will help you with your nerves."

Well he drank the water in one gulp then raced into the bathroom to empty
his bladder. I followed him in there and once he had finished I went and
cuddled him. He relaxed a bit then but not enough to stop him pacing.

Finally Jenny and Denise's dads came in and told us that it was about to
start. Well we all stood at the door and started walking down. The line went
Damien followed by Jenny, I followed Jenny and Denise followed me. We
noticed that the entire backyard was full.

As we were walking down I noticed Damien stumble. I whispered to Jenny to
help him as she was in front of me. She quickened her pace a bit and helped
Damien until he was able to walk again. I sighed in relief when we were all
standing up at the altar and the priest started talking.

When the priest finished and pronounced us all married he said to us, "You
may kiss your respective partner."

When we did, the entire backyard broke into applause. As I was kissing
Damien I knew that his nerves had calmed down considerably since we had been
inside. As we walked down the aisle towards the house something that we
hadn't expected happened, Jenny went into labor. Damien picked her up told
me, "Grab a set of our car keys and I will met you at the car. Denise follow
Alex."

All the guests were wondering what was going on. So Damien yelled, "Jenny
has just gone into labor and is going to have a child."

Well, that sent them all into shock but Damien didn't care as he had picked
Jenny up and ran out to Denise and I waiting in my car. We raced to the
hospital but we weren't there fast enough and Jenny had her baby in the
backseat of the car with Damien assisting. We were all glad that he had
taken that course over the Christmas holidays at that moment.

Jenny had a beautiful baby boy. We named him, Jay Andrew White-Alexander. He
weighed in at 6 pound 4. We were all happy that he was healthy. When the
doctor saw the four of us come in he asked us "What is going on here?"

I said to him, as Denise was carrying Jenny and Damien was holding Jay,
"Jenny here just had her baby in the car. Damien here who is holding the
baby delivered him."

The doctor congratulated Damien on a successful delivery and took him to
fill out the necessary paperwork while Denise and I helped Jenny and Jay get
settled in. When all the necessary forms were completed, Damien came and
joined us in the room. There were three empty beds.

Damien announced, "The doctors have given us permission to stay here tonight
with Jenny and Jay. But we will be getting a lot of visitors over the next
couple hours. I got a phone call from home asking how things were?"

We were all smiling at how calmly Damien was dealing with everything now
when he had been a total mess just before the wedding.

What a reception this turned out to be. We cut the cake with everyone around
in the hospital gardens. While Denise and Jenny were cutting the cake,
Damien held Jay and while Damien and I were cutting the cake Jenny was
holding him.

Everyone cheered and this woke Jay up. Instead of crying he just looked
around to see what was going on. It was strange but when he saw Damien he
tried to stretch out his little hands so Damien went over to Jenny and
picked him up.
Everyone smiled and even giggled when they heard the sound of Jay's
laughter. Denise and I came over and we stood all together and everyone
started taking photos of the new family. When Jay finally went back to sleep
Damien placed him in the stroller the hospital had lent us and everyone
started dancing to the music that James had set up.

To be continued
