A different beginning
Chapter 5
Being
Outed
And
Molly Ameilla Taylor.


The entire Taylor house hold, was nervous and exited at the same time. Jennifer taylor was in her final and ninth month of her pregnancy. She was due to give birth in less then two days time. She was being made to stay in bed by both Justin and Craig until she was due to go to hospital to have Molly. Joan kinney was now in her seventh month of her pregnancy. The heat way that was never ending was still going just as strong as ever. No body knew when the heat would start to ease off.

Earlier that same month Craig had accidentally found one of Justin's sketch books on the kitchen floor, that must have fell out of Justin's bag without him realising what had happened. Craig had been curious and want to see how good his sons art work was. Justin had told his mother and father that when he graduated that he wanted to attend the PIFA, in order to further his skin hin his love of art and hopefully get a job as a cartoon graphics designer. Craig hadt wat wanted to see what his money could possibly be paying for in the next couple of ye But But what he actually discovered when he looked through every single page of the sketch book, was the last thing either he or Jennifer ever expected to find. Almost every single page was full of sketches of both male and females completely naked. Craig had called to his wife to come and take a look at what he had discovered and to ask what she thought of the contents of the sketch book.

Jennifer had been shocked at first. When she could think straight she turned to Craig and told him "Craig I think this is more then obvious and anothe prove to tell us that our son is attracted to both boys and girls. Craig nodded and, I can't believe we hadn't realised until now thre sre son is attracted to both boys and girls. He's fifteen years old for christ sake. We should have paid closer attention to him as soon as he reached puberty, that's usually when teenagersrts rts to see you each other sexually." Jennifer asked Craig "do you have a problem with Justin being bi sexual?" Craig shook his head "no Jennifer surprisingly anothe, I don't have a problem with it. It does matter as long as he is happy and healthy. Besides It's none of our business which member of what sex, are sle sleeps with anyway."

Jennifer smiled at her husband, she was so relieved that he felt that way. she asked him "do you think we should have a talk with him to let him know that we know? And that we are fine with his life style and that we don't love him any less because of that." Craig nodded in agreement to what his wife had just said. Suddenly Craig grinned widely, coursing Jennifer to wonder what he was thinking about to make him grin so widely. "Craig what exactly are you grinning at? Craig chuckled and replied "I've just had a thought, do you think Brian might be the same as Justin?" Jennifer asked "why do you think that Brian might be bi sexual as well? Craig shook his head "I don't know no why, I've just got this feeling that's all." Jennifer added "say Brian is bi sexual like Justin, do you think Joan and Daniel might be aware or at least have some sort of an idea. Craig shrugged and replied "I honestly have no idea, but at least it's save to presume Justin is bi sexual."

So the next day Craig cornered Justin and told him that he and Jennifer had invited Brian, Joan and Daniel to come to dinner in the evening. Craig and Jennifer had told both Joan and Daniel what they had accidentally found out about Justin. Joan had revealed that she had found magazines that went by the names play girl and play boy, under Brian's bed whilst looking for dirty socks Brian had a habit of leaving to be pushed under the bed. Daniel had reacted in a similar way to what Craig had when he had first saw the nude sketches of both genders, that Justin had drawn. Daniel had also said he didn't care what member of sex his son eventually decided to sleep with unaware his son was already sexual active. Both he and Joan decided if their son decided sleep with both genders, so be it. Daniel only wanted his son to be happy and if Brian was Happy then both he and Joan were happy as well. The four of them decided to confront both teens over dinner and let them know that they would continue to love and support them no matter what.

That same night both sof pof parents prepared them selves, expecting to be subjected to two extremely pissed fifteen year old boys. Whom would both more then likely complain about having their privacy and personal space invaded. Either one of them was disappointed either. They got the exacted reaction they had been expecting and right on cue. Immediately after Craig and Jennifer placed Justin's sketch pad in the middle of the table, which was followed seconds later by an issue each of play girl and play boy which were supplied as evidence by both Joan and Daniel. Justin and Brian both visibly pale when they saw what their parents had found. They took one look at each other and that was all it took to pull them out of their stupor's and course before all hell immediately broke lose.

Both boys were seething with pure rage. The four of them were quick to assure both boys that it didn't matter that they both liked boys and girls. They promised that it didn't make a difference that they were still loved them and nothing would ever change that. And that they would continue to support them in what ever they both decided to do. Justin and Brian clear calm and started to relax, Brain asked "so your telling us that either of you are disgusted by the fact that me and Justin like to play both ends of the field." All four adults confirmed that they didn't have a problem with their sexuality, and that it's wasn't really any of their business anyway. They just said they all needed to have their suspicions confirm.

Joan asked "what do your friends think about you two being the only Pair in your group of friends that is not heterosexual. Brian told her "mom me and Justin aren't only people in the group that aren't heterosexuals." Craig asked "your not." Brian shook his head no "actually only two members of our group are in fact heterosexuals." Justin added "and those members are Daphne and Michael. Brian continued both Melanie and Lindsay are bi sexual's like me and Justin. Justin continued where Brian had left off. "And last but not least Emmett is a homosexual, and Ted is most likely a homosexual as well." Craig, let me get this straight," he added "no pun intend." Brian and Justin smirked and were both secretly glad that both of their parents seemed to be taking everything in really well. Craig continued "so you mean to tell us that all this time that your entire group of friends are either bi sexual's or homosexual with the exception of two members that are heterosexual. Both boys nodded. Daniel and Craig both chuckled, Daniel comment "christ what an interesting mix, if I do so say do myself. Craig added "my thoughts exactly."

Jennifer asked "do either of their parents know?" Justin and Brian shared a look of disgust. Justin grimaced and replied "both Lindsay's and Melanies parents accidentally found out, when Lindsay's bitch of an older sister Lenett heard them talking about two girls from our year at school. They were comparing who was better looking then the other and who would properly be a better kisser." Brian scowled, and said sarcastically "the bitch went straight to mummy and daddy and told on them and added her own version of what she had heard. So naturally the Peterson's got in touch wthe the Marcus's. And I'm sure you can guess rest."

Joan added sadly "oh please don't tell me that they have turned against their oh children." Brian signed and replied "no mom they haven't turned against them, they were just finding hard to deal with a first. But they are starting come around and except the situation." Justin smirked "I think Linz and Mel and their parents will be just find, I suspected when they learned that their daughters also liked boys as well as girWellWell, you can imagine that tended to soften the blow and seal the deal."

Brian and Justin turned to look at each other and grinned evilly. Craig and the others saw the looked that pasted between both teens, and could clearly see it wasn't an innocent one either. Daniel watch both teens closely and asked "what did the two of you do? Brian replied "I don't know what your talking about." Daniel gave his son a look of total disbelief, telling him without words, that he didn't believe a single word that had just come out of his mouth. Brian simply set an innocent expression up on his face, as did Justin. Daniel shook his head and sighed exasperated. "Come on you two, quit with innocent act you are both playing. We all saw the look that pasted between you, and it was the type of look that could be mistaken for anything but innocent. So spill both of you, what did the two of you do?"

Brian signed "We honestly didn't do anything." That partpartly true. Justin and Brian silently, yet," yet being the key word. Brian and Justin had both secretly come with an ton to bring Lenett, down a peg or two by embarrassing her and making a laughing stock out of her, in front of the entire school a week after they return from the summer holidays.

Back to the present time


It was four a clock in the morning when Jennifer woke Craig up, complaining about sharp and painful cramps in her lower spine and her stomach. Jennifer snly nly gasped and pulled the quilt she was wrapped up in a side, when she felt something cold, soaking her night gown and the sheets beneath her. She looked down and groaned in agony "oh god Craig quickly my waters just broken, help me get out of the bed." Craig didn't waste any time at all. All it took to make him quickly get out of the bed and round to his wife on the other side, was his wife's agony filled plea and the obvious panic written across her face. Craig gently pulled his wife up out of the bed and onto her feet. He then helped her out of her soaked night gown before helping her to put on a dress and clean underwear. Craig had remained dressed in a pair sweat pants and t-shirt in order to save time just in case Jennifer went in to labour. He quickly grabbed the bag they had prepared over a week ago, and put on his sneakers while Jennifer put her slippers on.

They slowly made their way down the stairs stopping on the way when a contraction hit Jennifer and caused her let out a startled yelp of pain. Once they reached the both of the stairs, Craig grabbed his car keys and his mobile phone. Then grabbed himself and his wife a jacket, that had been left draped over the chair near the front door, for the whole purpose of a quick and fuss free exit when Jennifer went into labour.

Once Craig and Jennifer had reached the hospital, and Jennifer was settled into one of the hospital beds. Craig thent tot to find a pay phone, seeing as he wasn't aloud use or have his mobile switch on inside the hospital. He dialled Daniel and Joan's home number to let Justin and the others know that Jennifer had gone into labour and they were at the hospital. Justin had decided to stay at Brian's, so he would not be in the way, plus he didn't fancy the idea of seeing his mother in so much pain when she actually went into labour.

Craig dialled the number for the Kinney's. Daniel answered the phone, on the fourth ring. An extremely groggy sounding Daniel answered "hello Daniel kinney. Dan it's me craig." Suddenly Daniel was wide a wake, "Hey mate, are you are you?" Craig replied "I'm fine Dan, I'm at the hospital, Jennifer has gone into labour." Daniel smiled widely on the other end of the, how long ago?" Craig sighed, "about an hour go." Daniel quickly told Craig "ok me, Joan and the boys will be at the hospital with in the next forty five minutes. Sit tight and get your ass back in their and take your punishment while your wife tries to break your hand and fires very imaginable curse word under the sun at you. Then finally imagines all the ways she could possibly torture you. And of course threaten you with the concept of castration." Craig laughed and told him he would see him soon, then hung up and when back to the room Jennifer was in.

unfortunately for Jennifer the weather had not changed, so naturally the temperature in the room was stifling and extremely uncomfortable. The air conditioning was on full blast in very room and area in the building, but still it was no match for the intolerable temperature that had completely took over the hospital.

When Brian and Justin along with Joan and Daniel reached the reception on the maternity ward and asked which room Jennifer taylor was in, they were told she was in room 101. As soon as the four of them stopped out side Jennifer's room and they were about to sit in the highly uncomfortable chairs. They were hit full blasted with sound of Jennifer's agony filled screams and obvious brutal and verbal abuse that she was directing straight at Craig. "you god dam son of a bitch, your never coming near me again, I'll feed your nuts to the squirrels out side you dickhead." Jennifer's ranting and ravening was cut of by the abrupt and unmanly, pain filled shriek of Craig as Jennifer squeezed his hand with anothe pressure to break it.

Both Justin and Brian snickered uncontrollably when the heard Craig's less then manly shrike. Daniel grimaced with sympathy for his best friend, and complete and utter dread for himself at the thought, that he would have to go through all that with Joan in less then two months time. Joan leaned back as best as she could in the awful chairs in her condition. She grinned like a cheshire cat and thought way to go Jenniyou you give that bastard hell. She also thought about the fact that she would be able to inflicted the same fate on Daniel in less then two months time, for the pain she knew she was going to have to deal with. That made her grin even wider if that were even possible. Daniel saw the expression on his wife's face and visibly blanched, he knew full well what his wife was thinking and what was making her look so gleeful.

Four hours later, just as everyone in the waiting area outside Jennifer's room were about to nod off. Were instantly treated to the sound of a crying baby, Molly amellia taylor.
They all sighed in relief and grinned at each other. Joan had tears of happiness in her eyes as she looked down at her large stomach and caressed it protectively. All three men saw her actions and smiled at her. Ten minutes later an exhausted and ragged looking Craig taylor stepped out into the hall way, with a bright blinding smile on his face. He told them "you can all come in and see Molly and Jennifer but ofor for fifteen minutes, Jennifer is absolutely exhausted and needs her rest.

Everyone entered the room to see an exhausted but smiling Jennifer holding a small bundle in her arms wrapped in a light pink blanket. She looked down at her daughter with a look of pure love and sure pride on her face. She looked up when she saw everyone enter the room, she turned her gaze to her son whom would always be her precious little baby boy no matter what or how old he got. She gave him sam same look she had bestowed upon her daughter only seconds before, with the same and equal amount of pride and pure love.

She beckoned him closer and, Justin meet your new baby sister Molly amillea taylor. She looked at Justin then back to Molly and smiled. She gestured to her son to come closer and asked "Justin would you like to hold your sister?" Justin looked at his mother shocked and asked "really can I?" Jennifer and Craig both grinned, Craig, of course you can you are her big brother after all. Jennifer carefully placed the baby in Craig's arms, Craig slowly and carefully placed the baby in Justin's arms and whisper "be careful now put your hand under here to support her head." Justin nodded and gently cradled her closer to his chest. He brought his index up to gently stroked the side of her soft cheek.

Justin looked down at the small and soft bundle in his arms. He had a look of complete awe and such love written all over his face. He looked at her tiny hands and gently touched her tiny button nose. He suddenly felt a strong urge to protect the fragile and tiny baby girl in his arms. He knew at that moment that he loved his sister more then he ever thought possible and would give his own life to protect her.

He turned and beckoned Brian to come over and have a closer look. Brian slowly and quietly walked over to his best friend. Brian stood at Justin's side and Looked down at the tiny baby girl. He noticed that she had a thin layer of blond hair that was the same shade as both Justin's and Jennifer's hair, He silently wagered that her eyes would more then likely be the same extremely beautiful shade of blue as were her mothers and her big brothers eyes. She was an absolute and spitting image of Justin, because Justin was a spitting imagine of his mother. Molly was a miniature version of her big brother, And would properly end up being the female version of Justin when she reached her teens.

Justin smiled at Brian who returned the smile. Justin whispered loud anothe for only Brian to hear," "shit Brian she is so beautiful and incredibly small. This will be you in just under two months time. Christ Brian It's one of the best feelings ever." Brian replied with a small smile "if it's anything like this when my baby sister is born, then I honestly can't wait." He added Loud anothe for everyone to hear but not loud anothe to frighten Molly. "Well, now molly's born, all of the attention has been taken off you, Justin added "yeah and when your baby sister Cara is born in September the attention will also be off you as well." Brian and Justin grinned widely coming to the same conclusion. Brian voiced both of their thoughts "imagine all the trouble we could cause and all the mischief we could get into." Craig and Jennifer laughed at that as did Joan and Daniel.
