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
