Chapter Ten
Brian's POV
When I wake up the next morning, I already know. Before the doctor comes in, I already know what he is going to tell us. That Daphne is dead too. It was way too early for the babies to be born, so I'm not really surprised that neither one of them made it.
Dr. Landry walks into the room, and I gently run my fingers over Justin's face. My blonde wakes up, and I tell him that the doctor is here. Justin slowly sits up in bed, with my help. Then Dr. Landry delivers the news that breaks my heart.
"Justin, Brian, I'm afraid that I have some more bad news for you. Daphne died an hour ago. It was too soon for both of the babies to be born. Their lungs weren't fully developed. Now the good news is, that you can still have more kids, Justin."
Not knowing how to reply, I just turn to Justin. He remains silent for a moment. Then he says, "When can I go home?" Dr. Landry sighs softly, and then says, "I say about a week. A full week." Justin just nods. Then he looks at Dr. Landry, and asks if it's okay for him to go to sleep.
Dr. Landry nods, and then he exits the room. I pull Justin close to me, and I kiss the crown of his blonde head. "Sleep for a while. I'll go and call the family. I'm sure the vultures, I mean family, want to know how you are."
Justin rolls his eyes at me, and then he pulls the covers over his body. "I'm sorry, Brian. I was really looking forward to bringing the twins home with us when they were due." I just nod, and remind Justin that this wasn't his fault.
Then I silently slip out the door, and down the hallway. I go outside, and pull my cell phone from my pocket. I call Jennifer and Debbie, and tell them that both of the babies have died. Both women start crying, and quickly hang up.
Then I call Lindsay, and tell her. I ask her to call everyone else and let them know. She agrees, and I tell her to give Gus a kiss for me. Then I hang up my cell phone and return to Justin's room to check on him.
When I enter Justin's room again, I'm glad to find him sleeping. I know that all of this drama and sadness is getting to be too much for him. I completely understand. Walking over to his bed, I take a seat in the chair beside his bed.
Sighing softly, I miss his long, blonde locks. Sure his hair looks hot like it is, but I feel anger and fear fight within me, as I remember the reason my blonde angel got rid of most of his hair in the first place.
I get up, and leave the room. I have to find that Cody idiot. I need to rip him apart, so that I don't drown in the waves of despair that are threatening to consume me. I have to be strong for Justin.
He needs me, and I plan to be there for him, come hell or high water. We are in a full partnership now. I'm no longer acting like Justin doesn't belong in my life. Justin does belong in my life, and I'm grateful to have him with me, every second.
I walk over to the nurse on duty, and ask her to tell Justin when he awakes, that I'll be back. I just need to take care of something. The woman smiles at me, and nods. She's a young woman, younger than me.
The nurse's nametag reads: 'Sam.' Sam is about 5'3, with black hair and green eyes. She is thin as a rail, and reminds me of a young mother caring for her children. Sam has a protective way about her, and I can tell she loves her patients.
After speaking to Sam, I go to my car. I unlock the doors and slide inside. I drive to Cody's crappy apartment, and try to keep my anger in check until I see the little fucker. I park right in front of the apartment, and then exit my car.
Walking up to Cody's apartment, I start pounding on the door. It's several minutes, until the little shit answers his door. When the door opens, I grab the little asshole by the thoat, and start to choke the shit out of him.
After he snaps out of shock a moment later, Cody starts to struggle in my grasp. After several unsuccessful attempts to get away, he finally gives up. "What... do... you... want?" He gasps the words out, and I glare angrily at him.
"Stay the fuck away from Justin. Keep yourself and your crazy ideas away from my partner, or I'll kill you next time." Then I drop Cody, and he falls to the floor with a loud shout of, "Asshole!" I glare, and then leave his shitty apartment.
I force myself to calm down, and then get in my car and go back to the hospital. It's a little while later, and I'm pulling up at the hospital again. I turn off the car, and then undo my seatbelt. I exit the car and quickly lock it.
I walk back into the hospital, speak to the nurse on duty agin, asking if Justin woke up while I was gone. She tells me no, and I'm glad. I thank her, and then quickly and silently return to Justin's room. Entering the room, I can't help but smile.
My blonde angel is sleeping peacefully, and I'm glad. He definitely needs it. After everything that has happened, Justin also needs a lot more. Though what he needs, I don't know yet. But whatever it is, I'll give it to him.
No hesitations, no questions. Justin is mine, and I'm not letting him go this time. We will face everything head on, and for those who have a problem with us, well fuck them. We're queer, and we're here to stay. Get used to it.
I get comfortable in my chair once more, and wait for Justin to wake up. When he does, I'll let him know I'm going home for an hour to shower and change clothes. I know I have nothing to worry about at Kinnetik.
Cynthia and Theodore can run my business for now. They already know not to fuck things up, or I'll fire their asses. I turn my attention back to Justin, who turns in his sleep, and I know he's going to wake up soon.
