A different beginning
Chapter 4

And
Baby talk


It was the first week of June and the summer holidays and the gang were hanging around Justin's back yard. Everyone decided that, seeing as the weather had not changed, if anything it seem as if the temperature had increased. They all willingly took advantage of the use of Justin's family pool. They were entertained by Brian and the use of his pool yesterday. So they all agreed it was now Justin's turn to provide the entertainment and the use of his pool.

Everyone had grown closer in the last three and a half months. The entire gang had gotten together on the twenty first of May, and arrange a birthday party for Justin's fifteenth birthday. They had done the same for Brian fifteenth as well, on the twenty seventh of June which was three weeks and six days after Justin's. Which everyone thought was quite amusing all except Brian and Justin, who claimed it was just as creepy as the rest of the coincidence that their two familles happened to share? Everyone had secretly decided to arrange something for both Melon's and Lindsay's birthdays, which were both in August. Melon's was on the twentieth while Lindsay's was on the thirtieth. Everyone found out not long after Brian turned fifteen, that Michael's birthday was on the third of July. Daphne turned fifteen, on July the eighteenth. While Melon's and Ted who had both turned fifteen back in April, before everyone had become friends. Emmett's was April the eleventh and Ted's was the first of April. Making him the eldest in the group by five months. And making Melanie and Lindsay the youngest.

Brian and Melanie were kicking around a ball Melanie had brought with her. Justin and Lindsay were sitting in sun chairs beside each other while sketching. Ted was sitting with his feet inside the water and read one of the new books he had bought the other weekend at the mall with the rest of the gang. Emmett was lying back in his sun chair taking in the sun hopping to touch up his tan. While Daphne and Michael were in the pool messing around as usual.

Craig and Daniel Kinney were cooking burgers, sausages and corn cobblets on their out door grills. There was extra corn cobblets put on the grill because Joan Kinney who was now in her sixth month of pregnancy had one hell of a craving for them. Craig at bought the, out door grill back in April and was just waiting for the right opportunity in order to get full use of it. Daniel had also decided to bring his grill along as well, considering there was twelve of them to feed all together.

Debbie and Vic had insisted that Michael brought along a few of their best italian dishes when they discovered Jennifer taylor was in her eighth month of pregnancy and had gained a large appetite and craving for that type of food. It was their way of thanking her and Craig for allowing Michael to visit.

Jennifer turned to Joan and grumble "for crying out loud it is hell being pregnant especially in this weather." Joan nodded and squirmed uncomfortably in her chair, and comment "tell me about it, I feel like I'm ready to drop down dead. I can hardly sleep at night because of the temperature." Jennifer yawned and added "I know what you mean I'm not sleeping all that well either because of the same problem." Joan sighed "I wish just this once that I could have got pregnant and carry both of my children in the winter months." Jennifer asked "you mean your Brian was also a summer baby, just like Justin was." Joan nodded "I went into labour with Brian smack right in the middle of squelching hot June." Jennifer grinned "well Justin was born in May and believe me when I say the temperature was anything but cold."

Joan smiled and, Thank god I will be giving birth on the second of September, hopefully this horrendous heat wave will be over by then." Jennifer laughed "It's all right for some isn't it." Joan smiled apologetically and. oh no I forgot your due at the end of next month aren't you." Jennifer nodded and grimaced at the very thought of going into labour while still in the current weather. "Yes, I'm due on the first of July. Joan couldn't help herself and grinned "have I mention yet, that I don't envy you? considering labour isn't exactly a pick nic. I know exactly what it's like going into labour in this sort of weather. Well, to tell you the truth, the temperature was atrocious when I was in labour with Brian but I can honestly say, it was no where near as hot as the conditions you are going to have to endure." Jennifer turned to face Joan and glared and replied sarcastically "why thank you Joan I feel just peachy, just what I needed to hear your such a wonderful best friend." Joan practically howled with laughter, at the extremely pissed of blond, petite woman at her side.

Craig and Daniel looked over at their wives when they heard Joan's laughter. Both men smiled. Daniel grinned and gestured to Jennifer, "mate it looks like you Jennifer is about to murder my Joan, if the looks she is sending her way is anything to go by." Craig also grinned and replied "she wasn't even this agitated when she was carry and Justin and was a month away from giving birth." Daniel asked "was the weather as hot as it is this time a round? Craig shook his head "it was no where near as hot as it is right now, but put it this way it wasn't exactly what you would call cold either." Daniel nodded and added "well I imagine carry a baby is not made easier, especially in this weather we've got at the moment."

Craig watched as his wife came over and picked up a plate and started to pile some of the italian food Debbie had sent especially for her. Craig visibly blanched when he saw exactly what and how much was on her plate. Joan came over and kissed her husband on the cheek, then took four of the cobblets that were already cooked. As soon as both woman were out of ear shot, Craig grumbled "I think I might consider sleeping on the coach to night." Daniel looked at his closest friend with amusement and asked "why are you considering sleeping on the coach? When I'm sure you have a perfectly good bed, and not forgetting to mention an extremely attractive wife." He added "of course no one is as beautiful as my Joan." Craig smiled at that he could clearly hear and see the love and affection Daniel still had for his wife after all the time they had been married to each other.

Craig replied "I love my Jennifer dearly, she the most beautiful woman I have ever seen, especially when she is pregnant with my children." Daniel nodded "so what's the problem, that's making you think about kipping on the sofa?" Craig grimaced "as you are aware Jennifer has developed a craving for any kind of Italian food, as bad, if not worse then your Joan when it comes to her and corn coblets." Daniel nodded for him to continue trying to suppress his grin that was close to split is face in two. He had a feeling that he knew what was making Craig want to sleep on the coach, instead of in his bed with his heavily pregnant wife, whom had a seriously bad craving for Italian food.

Craig hesitated before he grimaced, "well Italian food seems to give Jennifer an extremely bad case of gas and ingestion," Craig paused when Daniel grinned like a cheshire cat. He gritted out between clenched teeth "ah fuck it, Dan she smells is fucking toxic, she could more then likely kill a fuck deer with that rank." That did it, Daniel doubled over and roared with laughter. Daniel completely lost it when Craig had said it was toxic, and she could more then like kill a deer with that rank. That was Daniel's final undoing.

Craig grumbled "Dan it's not funny. I love my wife dearly but I don't know how much more of this I can stand. She never ate that sort of food when she was pregnant with Justin. And she sure as hell didn't smell that bad when she pasted gas in bed. I can't wait until Molly is born, and believe me after she is I swear no form of Italian food, of any description is ever entering this house again. And I will properly never eat Italian food again." By the time Daniel was able to compose himself he was bright red in the face, he had tears of mirth rolling down his cheeks and he was weasing trying to get his breathing under control. But what was more noticeable was the wide cheshire cat grin that still remained plastered across his face in fall beam and force.

Everyone by now had stripped down to their swim wear. Brian was topless and wearing a normal pair of black shorts. He hated wearing swimming shorts, he knew he was drop dead gorgeous and had a body to die for. It just didn't automatically mean he wanted to flaunt that in front of his friends, especially in front of his parents and Jennifer and Craig taylor. He grinned when he noticed the looks his best friend was receiving from Lindsay, Daphne and Emmett. And what was even more amusing was that Justin was oblivious to the apreative looks he was getting. And he was only wearing a simple pair of sky blue shorts. Brian did'nt even dare imagine the reactions he would get from Lindsay, Daphne and Emmett, if he actually went starkers.

Brian suddenly turned, and the sight that met his eyes made his breath catch in his throat. Because not even fifteen feet away stood an extremely beautiful petite brunette with hair that flowed down her back, and shone when the sun caught the silky strands. she wore a pure white bikini. Brian's cock instantly stood to attention. He look closely at the girl, and got the shock of his life when the girl turned around, and revealed herself to be Melanie Marcus one of his closest friends, and fellow member of the soccer team. Brian's jaw practically hit the floor. He quickly looked down and at his shorts, instantly turning bright red with embarrassment. He covered the front of his shorts. He quickly jumped in the pool hopping the cool water would help to soften his hard on.

Everyone except Melanie,Jennifer and Joan, knew what had happened. They had all watched the scene unfold right before their eyes. They were all trying to stifle their laughter. Even Craig and Daniel were having difficulty to suppress the urge to not laugh.

Brian swam a few length's whilst thinking, "what the fucking hell, that was Mel I was checking out and got all hard over. It's not right she is one of my closest friends. And absolutely without a doubt is not interested in me that way. Damn it Kinney get a grip on your hormones for christ sake. So what if she looked good in that bikini. A little voice in his head drawled, "christ man are you fucking insane what do you mean she looked good, I think you mean, she looked totally hot and completely edible in that bikini. Brian curse under his breath and told the little voice in his head to go and fuck it self.

Mean while by the pool side both Emmett and Ted were trying to avoid looking at each other. Emmett knew if he looked Ted in the eye just once, then he would not be able to control the urge to stop himself from kissing Ted right there and then and in front of everyone. Ted couldn't look at Emmett. He had recently started to have feelings towards Emmett that were far to friendly then he was used to.

Ted was now certain he was gay. Everything seemed to keep pointing in that direction. The first sign came about three months ago. Ted, Emmett and Michael were in the locker room drying off from their shower after gym. Ted for some reason unknown at the time, let his gazed travel towards the showers where he had just come from. He watched one of the jocks soaping his cock. Ted had suddenly found himself thinking about, what it would feel like to have that other boys cock filling his mouth. Or what it would feel like to have that same cock inside of him trusting in and out of him. Ted could never remember ever feeling that way, Not even the one time he took a sneaky peak at a centre fold of a female porn star, in a magazine. It didn't even have that effect that the jock in the shower soaping his cock had, had on him.
