Hey! Thanks for the positive feedbacks I really hope
everyone is enjoying this story still. I figured I would
base this chapter on Braiden. I feel like I have showed him
but not WHO he is.  I have had a comment asking if they are
really put together so well. NO Each character has their
faults you will see some of Braiden's.

You know I burn up like a chemical fire when I'm reacting

Is it hell? No, it's not hell when you're around.

~Braiden's POV~

	I stand at the window, watching the lighting in the
clouds; so many nights I have stood here in the cold sweat
soaking my body watching the night sky, it's like there is
a fight in the sky, flashes of lighting and the loud roars
of the thunder.

	I feel a hand on my bare shoulder and it startles me,
"Hey sweetie, are you ok?"

	"Yeah I guess... I thought they would have stopped by
now?  Hey mom when will it get better?" I ask my mom
knowing it was her who always comforted me when I was
upset.

	"What do you mean?" she asks hugging me from behind.

	I shift to look at her, "Dad and I's relationship, it
has't been the same, well since Ian came along. That and
coming out to the both of yall."

	She puts a hand on my cheek, "Sweetie your father
loves you so much, he loves Ian, Ian his pride and joy.
Just your coming out to him is a lot to take in. Just give
him time."

	"Mom that's bullshit, it's been almost a year and he
barely acknowledges me at all. I did everything I could, I
got a job and I take care of Ian. Why can't he accept me
like you did?" I tell her getting frustrated.

	"Honey, I knew you were gay... Your father didn't have
the slightest hint. To him you were the typical boy playing
football, surfing, running, lifting weights. Just its hard
for him to get his head around that he doesn't know you as
well as he thought. It doesn't settle well that you aren't
the boy he thought you were." She tells me putting her hand
on my arm.

	"Well what am I supposed to do? Not be gay? I can't
and I won't. I want to be able to bring Chasen over to meet
you both!" I tell her getting frustrated and sitting on my
bed.

	"Is Chasen the boy who keeps coming over? No Honey, no
one is allowed to prevent you from being yourself. Just
your father doesnt feel much like the father he thought he
was because he had just had no clue, it hurt him more than
he will ever say.  He is ashamed." she asks sitting next to
me.

	"Yes thats Chase, and he's gay. I know he's ashamed of
me. I see it every time he looks at me" I ask her.

	"NO! He isn't ashamed of you! He could never be, he is
ashamed of himself for not taking the time to know you. He
feels like he failed as a father." She tries to explain.

	I just scrunch my forehead, "I don't understand, if he
is ashamed of himself than why can't he talk to me at the
very least!"

	She sighs, "Baby I wish I knew but you and him are so
much alike, your father loves you and is so proud of you
for taking responsibility of Ian. He has noticed how happy
you are lately.  He figured you were seeing Chasen."

	"He noticed?" I asked shocked.

	"Of course he noticed, he is your father, even though
you both don't have the best relationship right now, he
notices and makes sure you are ok, he does do a lot for you
hun." She says patting me on the face.

	I think I am more frustrated now more than ever, I run
my hands through my hair and look back out the window, I
didn't realize how long we have been talking, the sun is up
already and the storm has subsided.

      The silence is broken by a cry from Ian, I move over
to him but my mom stops me. "Go rest hun, go get some
coffee or something. I will take care of my little angel."
She says with the mother look in her eyes.

      I just smile, and head to the kitchen, and I should
have figured she made coffee. I go to get me a cup and my
dad walks into the kitchen in his robe.

      I haven't honestly looked at my father, I can tell he
is tired the dark circles under his eyes show now more than
ever and he has more gray in his dark hair then he used to.

      "Hey B-man will you get me a cup as well, and join
me?" he asks sitting at the table.

      I just nod my head and pour both of our cups of
coffee, the smell intoxicating me and awaking my senses. I
love the smell of coffee I wished it didn't't storm,
because I would have taken a cup and went and sat on the
beach.

      I place the cup in front of my dad and sit across from
him, I take in his image. He looks a lot older than the
last time I seen him, I guess being the top surgeon on this
side of the coast will do that to you. "So did you need
anything dad?" I ask not sure what to say.

      He looks at me and manages the best smile he can, "No
son I don't need anything. I guess I just want to see how
you are doing." He says his voice still full of sleepiness.

      I look at him strangely, I don't know what this is
really about because the last time me and him actually had
a real conversation was when I told them Ian was coming
into the world.  "I'm good, Ian is good but you know that."

      He shakes his head, "I didn't ask about my grandson,
hell I live in the same house as him I see him every day. I
want to know about you. B-man look I know we don't...well we
haven't been close in a long time. It's not your fault ok."
He says looking at me.

      I just look at him, I am at a loss for words I don't
know what to honestly say to him, it's like I try to
swallow but there is something lodged in my throat.

      "Just listen ok, No I don't mind that your, well gay.
I am ok with that and I accept that and fully support you!
You have given me a beautiful grandson, who is an angel and
I love him with all my heart. Braiden what I want to say is
that I am sorry for all the awkwardness. It has never been
your fault.  You will learn as a father, you expect that
you know your kids... and well when something like this
happens you feel like you are a failure, that is how I been
feeling, that I failed you as being a parent. I let my
expectations control me" He explains, and it looks like a
huge weight has been lifted off him.

      I just look at him and look down, and well I actually
twiddle my thumbs... I don't know what to say to that. How do
you answer someone who has admitted it was his entire
fault? "Dad you didn't't fail me. You were always there
when I needed you, and I learned how to be a father from
you." I tell him.


	He reaches over and places his hand over mine, "A
father?  Son you are a damn good father. You don't know how
proud I am of you. Hell I couldn't be doing what you are at
your age. I just want you to know I will help you however
you need it. So tell me about this boy in your life?"

	I just look at him bewildered at the near mention of
Chasen, well because this is the last conversation I ever
imagined having with my father, I mean I can feel the
swirling feeling in my stomach. Butterflies.

	"Well his name is Chasen... I met him on the beach he is
new here to cali." I offer that information not really
wanting to divulge anything he doesn't want to hear.

	"Ok, where is he from? Are you both going steady?
Braiden I would like to know something about your life." He
says smiling warmly at me.

	"He is from Florida, He is a Tarrant... and well I don't
know what we are honestly. He is gay and well I kissed him,
the other night I just don't know what we are. I like him a
lot though." I tell him growing red in the face.

	"Well I think you need to invite him over. I would
like to meet the boy that is responsible for making my son
smile." My dad says smiling at me.

	I just smile, and my mother comes in carrying Ian who
is well being Ian and babbling. My father lights up like
the fourth of July, I can honestly say he loves him a lot.

	I watch them as he tickles Ian and holds him close.
Mom sits down at the table her hair now thrown up in a
sloppy ponytail all her curls; I guess I got my father's
straight hair but her color.

	"Why don't you go out for a bit?" my dad asks.

	"I don't really have nowhere to go. Plus I need to be
here for Ian." I say.

	"Don't worry about it, I took off today, you know
cause I can do that. Besides I want a day with my grandson,
now get!  Go on I don't need you watching me like a hawk!"
he says in a playful manner.

	I walk into my room grabbing my wallet, cell and
sandals.  I really don't feel like getting dressed I will
probably end up at the beach anyways.  Even though it will
be wet out hopefully since the sun is shining it won't be
so wet.

	I make my way out to the car, and I can already tell
its going to be a warm day, the air is dry, and the sun is
shining, all the water puddles are starting to evaporate
from the sun.  I make my way to the car, and think well
since it's not raining and the beach isn't to far I will
skate down to the beach but I do grab my sunglasses since
its really bright I don't want to deal with a headache at
all today.

	 I open up the garage and take out my skateboard, and
dust it off I haven't rode it in a while, I put it on the
ground, back up a few steps and run towards it and
blissfully slide on to it taking off.

	It feels good to have the air wash over me and through
my hair; hell I always love being outside its kind of makes
me horny to be honest!

	I arrived at the beach faster than I thought, I guess
everything just flies when you don't really pay attention.
My body just goes into a natural overdrive and well here I
am at the beach, and like I thought, it's beautiful the sea
breeze feels amazing, and the ocean waves crashing against
the ocean just puts me at ease. The only thing is I just
don't know what to do! A whole day to myself it's not very
often it happens.

	I take my board down a little ways into the sand I put
it down and sit on it, I know it's not the best idea but
well it's not like it's my only transportation anymore.

	I am sitting there just enjoying the view of the
ocean, and the sounds of the birds cawing overhead, I am
completely at ease, well I was until I saw who just walked
onto the beach.

	"Hey, it's the other gay boy in this town." Nick said
coming over to where I was.

	"What do you want Nick?" I asked not particularly
wanting to talk to him.

	He smiles and puts his cooler down and sits on top of
it smirking at me, "so got anyone special in mind lately?
Or are we still playing daddy?"

	I shake my head, "Unlike you I do have bigger worries,
and responsibilities, where as you only worry about if
you're getting laid tonight.

	He laughs, and repositions his sunglasses, "Hey the
offer still stands. You know you would love to step into
bed with me, but it might expire pretty soon, I have my eye
on someone who is sure to be a great fuck, most likely a
virgin too."

	"Sadly I'm not that desperate and you're not that
lucky.  Who is the unlucky boy you have a hard on for?" I
ask not really caring to hear what he has to say. Honestly
I wished he would fuck off.

	He shifts on his cooler, I  really wish he would fall
off, "Well I was at work when our very important regular
customer came in. Well turns out he has a son who just
moved here and boy does he look delicious......"

	My mind was already reeling I knew exactly who he was
talking about, my blood was starting to boil, this douche
bag was not going to talk about my Chasen like that and get
away with it.

	"Man he is so fine, and he has got a nice tight ass
from the looks of how his jeans hugged him. I really have
to nail that ass." He finishes what he was saying.

	"Who was the boy again?" I ask, trying to control my
rage.

	He laughs, "Oh your interested now?  He's Tarrant's
son, I think it was like Chance or something."

	I can't help it, it was like a volcano erupting in my
chest, he was talking about Chasen like that and I couldn't
have that.  I know we weren't an "item" yet but still it
pisses me off so bad how he talks about him like he is this
thing thats just there to be used, he totally misses the
sweet and loving person that Chasen is.

	"You won't ever go near Chasen..." I tell him getting
up.

	Nick gives me this smirk and I hate it, he always does
it when someone gets in his face, "Really?  So let me guess
you're going to stop me? Are'nt you too busy changing
diapers? While you're on diaper duty I will be banging him
over and over again and there's nothing you can do about it
so have fun with diaper duty."

	I shouldn't have done what I did next but I couldn't
help it I just lost it, I stepped up closer and shoved him
causing him to fall over the cooler and onto his back. Nick
pops back up pissed and in my face.

	"Just give me one good reason to kick your ass!" he
spits into my face.

	I smile back, "Well the fact that Chasen, won't be
near you gives me satisfaction."

	"Yeah like he would be with someone who has a fucking
kid get real Braiden, no one wants that!" he says and walks
away with his cooler.

	I tried not to let the crap he said get to me, but I
guess I don't really ever show it but shit like that eats
at me. I needed to see Chasen and explain what happened to
him, I just I don't know, I feel weird and very, very
protective of him.  I guess I didn't really know how much I
liked him till that exact moment.

	I'm glad he lives like a block away from the beach. I
walk up leaving the beautiful ocean and the hot sand and
jump back onto my skateboard and start my way over to his
house.

	As I am boarding towards his house I realize I don't
know what to even say to him. Like why do I tell him I came
by? Do I have to have a reason? Ahh! Stop just freaking out
about shit; Gotta just be myself...Yeah. I don't know!

	Well I guess times up cause before I know it, I am in
front of his house. I look around the neighborhood there is
a kid I know mowing his lawn, I guess his parents made him
do it. I can smell the fresh cut grass and I like it. I
have always like that smell.

	I walk up to the door, and reach my hand out to ring
the doorbell and I am shaking and not just in my hands, but
my whole body. I never felt like this before and I don't
know why I am feeling like this now. I wished I could
describe the feeling I get when I even think about this
boy. It's more intense than butterflies in your stomach,
it's just like everything melts away and it's just him in
my sights and all my worries and problems and insecurities
just leave me.

	I guess I don't really let me insecurities show, but
they eat me up inside. I love my little boy, but I also
think that by having him I will never have a love life,
well any sort partner. That I will end up alone in life. It
keeps me up a lot I hate it, but I still wouldn't trade Ian
for anything in the world, I'd be willing to do anything
for Ian, even walk through life alone if I had to, he means
the world and so much more to me.

	I smash the doorbell, hearing it go off I take a few
steps and turn around, I don't know why but I am blushing I
feel like a little kid its ridicules!

	I hear the front door open and I turn around, it's
exactly who I wanted it to be and he looks so stunning. He
stands there in white basketball shorts and has no shirt
on. I can't help but grin at him. He smiles at me, before I
know what I am doing I walk closer to him and kiss him.

	I feel the shock register in him, but he doesn't
resist.  He does the opposite he leans into me! He wraps
his arms around me and I do the same to him, pulling him
closer to me. I am intoxicated by his smell, he smell so
good. His lips are so soft that I accidentally bite the
bottom one and he whimpers a little.

	I pull away, "Oh my god! I am sorry!" I tell him
feeling horrible.

	He touches his bottom lip and smiles, "Its fine. I
usually make out with people at my door step, would you
like to come in?"

	I hesitate a minute from embarrassment, "yeah I would
like to come in."

	He laughs and pulls me in by the hand, I follow him.
He doesn't say a word just pulls me by the hand up the
stairs. I don't know what to do so I just go with whatever
he wants.

	He leads me into his bed room, and over to his bed. "I
have missed you." He tells me.

	I lean in and kiss him, he meets me halfway and when I
mean the breath in my body left me it did. The intoxicating
smell, and his warm body pressed against me just sends me
over the edge I moan a little bit, and we fall onto his
bed.

	He straddles me without breaking our kiss, I am
running my hands over his body.  As he assaults me with his
lips all over mine, I kiss his neck and move back to his
lips.

	I roll him to the side and kiss him one more time
before I stop it, "What's wrong?" he asks with a look of
concern on his face.

	"Nothing babe I just want to talk for a minute." I
tell him smiling.

	He pulls me so I am propped up on my side, looking at
him.  "What is it?"


	"Well Nick and I got into a little tiff today." I tell
him.

	He looks at me furrowing his brows, "Nick as in the
waiter that was hitting on me?"

	I nod, "yeah well we, he and I aren't really friends."

	He starts to get worked up, "Bray do you get along
with anyone?"

	"Babe look, I do get along with people. He was talking
about you really bad and I couldn't take it." I tell him
looking concerned.

	He jerks his head back and gives me a funny look,
"What do you mean he was talking about me?"

	"He was saying shit, about how he wants to fuck you
and just offensive things and I couldn't help it. I just
got upset and shoved him. He doesn't know you and he
doesn't even deserve to be in your presence...I know it's not
my place to do that stuff because we aren't going out, but
I really like you." I tell him not knowing if I feel better
or worse.

	He laughs at me, and leans in closer.  "Well I would
like that to change...Braiden will you be my boyfriend?"

	My heart stops it feels like I just had fireworks go
off in my head, I can't even begin to think straight, he
just asked me out. I think I am the happiest teenager on
this whole entire planet right now. "Well only if you agree
to eat dinner with my parents and I tonight." I tell him
smiling.

	"Well if that means we are boyfriends than hell yes!"
he tells me.

	We lean in and kiss again, before we could really get
into the action and mode of kissing his cell phone went
off.

	He looks at it and a look of interest overcomes his
face, "Babe I need to take it!" he says.

	I just nod and motion for him to answer it, I sit
there tracing my finger up and down his body, and I outline
the scars that haven't completely gone away, one that's
bigger than the others, and I lean in and kiss it.

	"What! When?  What time?" I hear him talking to the
other person on the phone.

	I continue to trace my finger up and down his torso.
He gets goose bumps and smiles at me, I stop when he puts
the phone down.

	"You ok babe?" I ask looking at him intensely.

	"Yeah, that was Aaron. He was just being Aaron, he
just got braces put on. So he isn't too happy about that.
Also he is also coming down soon!" He says getting excited.

	"You really care about Aaron don't you?" I ask not
like that I am jealous just an observation.

	He looks at me "I love the kid to death! You really
have to know Aaron to understand him. I feel bad for him a
lot, his parents are never around, he is usually pawned off
on other adults, plus the fact he is gay, and has never had
a boyfriend and is very well, Aaron."

	I laugh at his explanation, "So dinner at my house
with my parents?"

	"When?" He asks.

	"Tonight, hell why not tell them we are going steady
now!" I say getting excited and lean in and kiss him.

	I felt a little tension from him so I pulled back
fast, "What's wrong?" I ask getting concerned.

	"I am scared to meet your parents." He says looking
down.

	I move closer to him and pick him up by his chin,
"Chasen, stop! You are my boyfriend, and you are so perfect
for me. They will love you and if they don't, I don't give
a damn, stop putting yourself down, show me those beautiful
eyes. This is a new beginning you don't have to hide
anything, or be ashamed." I tell him.

	He leans in and kisses me softly, I swear this boys
lips are going to send me over the edge. They are so soft,
tender, hot, and well tasty. They are like their own kind
of candy, I'm addicted already.

	"So tonight?" I ask again.

	"Tonight." He says and kisses me.

	There is a knock on the door, and before we can even
split from the kiss Caroline comes in, "Oh my I am so sorry
boys! I didn't mean to interrupt but I brought some of your
clothes up from the laundry room.  On the way, your father
said that next week we would be picking up Aaron from
airport."

	I just sit there...I think I am going to die from
blushing, my whole face feels like it's on fire. It isn't
embarrassment, but I didn't plan out someone walking in on
us while we were kissing. I can feel Chasen shake a little
beside me.

	"Oh, yeah that's cool Caroline thanks." Chasen says
blushing nearly as bad as I am.

	She smiles, and sets the basket of clothes down, and
gives us a wink on the way out. I fall over onto the bed
and start to laugh.

	"That was awkward!" I tell him.

	He looks a little pale, so I sit back up and take his
face in between my hands, "Babe are you ok?"

	His eyes look hollow, like he actually isn't in the
present, but rather thinking of something else. A tear
forms in his eyes, and slides slowly down his cheeks.

	"Babe what's wrong?" I ask getting worried.

	"Sorry...just the last time someone caught me kissing
someone it was my mom. Well it didn't end to great, I just
got scared, really scared for a minute." He says wiping the
tears away.

	I moved over and kiss his forehead, "babe I know that
is the last thing that will ever happen here!"

	He smiles at me, "I know, just sometimes I still get
scared over stupid crap I guess......"

	I kiss his forehead again, "Oh by the way nice
boxers!" I say pointing to the ones in the basket, they are
multicolored.

	He smiles, "Well I like different colors what can I
say."

	I smile back at him, "Well I would like to see you in
them!"

	"Not going to happen for a long time horny boy!" he
says.

	I make a mock shocked look on my face, "Me horny? No
not me cause I believe someone else is way more aroused
than I am!" I say and grab his crotch, even through his
shorts I  can feel that he is hard.

	He turns bright red, "Uh......" is all he can manage.

	I double over from laughing so hard, "It's ok babe, as
long as it's hard over me we are good."

	"Hey you can't just tease me and expect it to go away
now!" he tells me with an evil grin.

	"Well I think you are going to have to take care of
that yourself big boy! Because I need to be going to
prepare for dinner tonight!" I tell him leaning in to kiss
him.

	He stops me from moving and kisses me again, and when
I least expect it he grabs my crotch.  "Yeah I see I am not
the only one who is excited!"

	I blush bright red, and kiss him goodbye, and try to
reposition myself. "I will see you around six?"

	He nods, "you do realize that's in like two hours?"

	"Shit ok I really got to go!" I tell him shooting out
of his room and down the stairs.

	I holler a quick bye to Mrs. Tarrant who was doing
something in the living room, honestly I didn't really pay
attention, my focus was all on tonight and how I wanted it
to be amazing.

	I jumped onto my board without hesitation and took off
down the street, it's not like I live to far from his
house. I was ecstatic about tonight; my boyfriend will be
meeting my parents!  I know they will accept him, cause I
just really like him, I haven't felt like this in so long.

	I am so caught up in thoughts of Chasen I don't even
worry about this dumb ass dog that tries to bite you when I
used to skate all over. I pass him without even thinking to
hurry up before he tries to get me, luckily he didn't
notice me either.

	By the time I reach my house I am out of breath, and
my hair is windblown I put my board back into the garage
and I head into the house.

	"MOM!  DAD!" I shout trying to see where they are.

	I head up to my dad's study that's where he usually is
on days like this, but as I am heading upstairs I look out
the window and what I see stops me in my tracks.

	Both of my parents are in the back year playing with
Ian in the grass! I felt like I was on cloud nine, even
though I really don't know what that expression is supposed
to mean given that you can't really be on a cloud, but
happiness was bursting through me.

	I make my way out to them, watching them and I can't
stop smiling about it, "Hey guys."

	"Hey B-man." My dad says from the grass.

	"What are yall doing?" I ask.

	"Enjoying time with our grandson." My mom says smiling
up from me.

	I sit down with them and watch Ian playing in the
grass babbling at things, "So you know how you both wanted
to meet Chasen, well I invited him to dinner."

	"You did?" my dad asks.

	"Yeah I mean why not? He is my boyfriend." I tell them
trying to gauge how they will take this new information.

	My mom smiles at me, I know she is happy. I just worry
about my dad I look over and I can't read his face, he is
always unreadable, it's like how he is during surgery.

	"Well hot damn! Ok well what should we cook, and what
time will he be here?" My dad asks smiling.

	"Well I told him six." I say.

	"Braiden! That's not enough time, well we just will go
out to eat then, how about Chili's?" My dad asks.

	"Yeah sounds good to me, I will go get ready and do
you just want us to meet you there?" I ask.

	"Yes, your mother and I will see you there." He says
getting up and picking Ian up, "Here go dress him up too."
He tells me handing me my baby boy.

	I walk in and head to my room with Ian in my arms, and
he is in full blown chatter mode, shaking his fists, making
noises and keeps putting his hand on my mouth.

	I get him dressed first and build a little fort like
thing on my bed and put pillows around his so he doesn't
fall off while I get dressed.

	I throw on some brown cargo shorts and a white polo,
well my favorite one. I spray some cool water cologne on,
you know I can never smell too good for my boyfriend!

	I send a text to him telling him the plans have
changed that I will be by in a few to pick him up.

	He sent a short text back saying ok, give him five
minutes so he can get dressed, which was good I still need
to make sure Ian's car seat is prepared for him, so I pick
up my baby boy and head down to my car.

	I get him into the car seat, he loves to go riding
around, it usually puts him right to sleep, but I don't
think it will today he is wired; I cannot wait till he
starts to speak.  I know it will be soon!

	I get into the driver seat and start the car, I make
sure the music isn't loud for Ian. I take off towards
Chasen's house!

	Traffic was light today so it takes no time to get to
his house and of course he is waiting outside, in almost
the same shorts as mine, and a checkered shirt with what
really looks like red paint splatter all over it he looks
so good.

	He gets into the car he just smiles at me, and buckled
in.  we didn't talk I guess we didn't need to, because it
was comfortable he took my hand and smiled and me I
squeezed his and smiled back and started off towards
Chili's.

	It looked pack tonight, but I am glad my parents were
already here which usually means they have managed to get a
table. Like Chasen's dad, my father is also well known
around the area.

	The hostess asked for our party and I told them and
she automatically took us to the table, where my mom and
dad were waiting. I set Ian down in the highchair that was
at the table.

	"Dad, mom this is Chasen." I tell them I am really bad
at the whole introducing everyone to everyone and well they
all know that.

	"Hello." My mom says to him and shakes his hand.

	My dad smiles, "How are you young man."

	"Hi, it's good to meet both of you!" Chasen says very
shyly.

	We take a seat and start to look over the menu, and
make small talk, of course my dad does the usual, where you
from? How do you like it here? Just a little small talk to
ease the nervousness of everyone.

	Chasen is so polite its cute, he answers both of the
questions with a yes sir yea ma'am and he addressed them as
Mr. and Mrs. Hanley.

	"Nonsense young man you can call me Karl, and my wife
by her first name, Susan. I am sure we will be seeing a lot
more of you yes? Plus all the Mr. and Mrs. Stuff makes us
feel old!" my dad says laughing.

	That gets everyone laughing. We place our orders I
want the avocado burger, and Chasen orders the same. "I
never had one, and I've never been here so I am just going
to order the same." He whispers to me.

	I smile and squeeze his hand, that when my dad's phone
goes off, and he answer it. He isn't on long and I know
what it is already he is on call most likely and it kind of
upsets me.

	"I am so sorry, I must head out early. They need me at
the hospital." He says with a look that is strained.

	I just look over at him not really happy he knows how
much this means, but I can't do anything about it, I just
nod my head.

	He kisses my mom goodbye, and shakes Chasen's hand and
he is out of the restaurant faster than anything.

	"My dad is a surgeon." I explain.

	"Oh that's cool, like what kind?" he asks.

	"He does mostly major surgeries, he also picks up ER
shifts sometimes." My mom pipes in smiling.

	I know she is trying to ease everything but it does
upset me. I wanted them to get to know Chasen.

	Chasen leans towards me, "Babe it is ok, he has a job
to do. It is fine ok? I like your dad he is super nice."

	I smile at him. Over all the dinner wasn't bad, my mom
had us laughing, she is amazing I love her. After we ate we
headed to my car, my mom sat in back with Ian, who was well
fed, and now was nodding off in the back.

	"So Chasen, will we see you more?" My mom asks from
the back seat.

	"I hope so ma'am. I really like Braiden a lot, and I
love little Ian." He says smiling at me.

	My mom smiles back, "Good you are such a handsome boy,
and so nice."

	The rest of the ride was enjoyable, I love it, I was
happy at least my mom spent time with my Chasen, as we were
dropping Chasen off my mom asked him to come over later
this week to watch movies!

	He agreed quickly and told us all good night, I got
out and walked him to the door.

	"I am sorry about tonight babe." I tell him.

	"Bray, its fine your dad is important! He's going to
save lives. It's ok I have enjoyed myself so much!" he says
and leans in and kisses me.

	I kiss him back, and this kiss is just like all the
others, simply amazing.

	I watch him go into the house and I make my way to my
car, my mom has moved up to the front seat.

	"I like him a lot Braiden, he is a sweet boy. Keep him
around." She tells me and smiles at me.

	"I know mom I really like him a lot." I tell her.

	"Let's call it a night kiddo, this little one is tired
back here." She tells me smiling.

thanks KD


A new year, a new chapter :) hope that the holidays were
merry. It was kinda nice to see from Brays pov. I can see
Nick being a problem later on, itll be interesting to see
what kind of problem he creates for them. Im kinda happy
that Bray and Chase are a couple. It feels weird becuz i
was hoping for chase and tanner getting back together(even
tried convincing KD to make it happen)I'm keeping an open
mind tho, Bray does seem to be good for Chasen but it's
hard to say this early on.

We will try to make the move as easy as possible, so keep
an eye on the yahoo group for any news or email your
questions. Kd and I are always around. Im going to be glued
to my computer for the next little while preparing for the
move. KD works me like a dog ;P till chapter seven, take
care  tY
