Cosmic Companions
Chapter 6
Written By: Shell , Kat and Jackie
========================
On the way home they picked up Chris and Lance. The couple
was
holding hands, and looking very happy. "You two are just
sickeningly
cute," Joey told them. "I know!" Lance beamed. "And so
are the three
of you, when JC and Joey aren't lost and Joey's not being
a tease."
"See, Joe?" Justin said and turned to him. "Other
people say it too.
You're a tease and you're mean to poor old JC and me."
"I," Joey
stated, "am not a tease..." Big, brown puppy dog eyes
stared at
Justin. "And I'm not old!" JC exclaimed. "Sheesh, curly."
"So," Chris said as the three of them started to give
each other some
rather interesting looks. "I guess your plans for the
night got
canceled too?"
Sighing heavily, Joey answered: "It did. I'm supposed
to stay in bed
for three weeks or so all by myself. Takes all the fun
out of it,
that's for sure." "I'll share a bed with you, Joey,"
Lance
offered. "I'm supposed to stay off my feet for three
weeks too." At
first he couldn't understand what made Joey laugh. Then
JC and Justin
started laughing too. Then Chris turned to Lance. "Lance,
sweetheart,
is there something you want to tell me?" lance
"He really *is* blonde!" Justin said, a little amazed
by Lance's
seemingly cluelessness. "I mean, that was such an obvious
joke... But
I guess Chris is the only one of us who knows the real
truth about
that..." "Justin Randall!" JC yelled. "I swear, you're
getting as bad
as Joey!"
"Hey!!!" Joey protested. JC quickly kissed him on
top of his dark
hair. "I know, and I love you. But still..." "Now I am
going to
pout," he warned JC. Of course, knowing that JC would
do absolutely
everything Joey wanted him to then. Which was the whole
idea.
"Oh, I get it!" Lance suddenly said, startling all
four of
them. "What?" Chris had to ask. "The joke, silly," Lance
admonished
him. "And, no." "What?" Chris tried again. "I don't have
anything I
need to tell you, babe," lance explained patiently. "Sometimes
you
can be so slow, Chris!" As Chris delivered his third
"What?", Lance
nearly keeled over laughing.
"That's it," Chris said, not able to keep the smile
away from his
face. "You're going home to bed. Obviously being pregnant
doesn't
help your sense of humor any...and it makes you damn
talkative
too!" "I thought I was only that when we had sex," Lance
answered,
looking innocent. "I so didn't hear that," Chris said,
blushing
faintly while taking Lance's hand and leading him towards
the
entrance.
"I heard that, Chris!" Joey called after him. "Do
you want me to
repeat it for you?" "No, he doesn't," JC broke in. "And
you're going
home to bed too, Joe." Joey still pouted. "You're no
fun, Josh." "I'm
tons of fun," Josh answered. "Now, let's go. Justin,
are you with
us." The blue-eyed man looked a little zoned out again.
"I'm going to
be a dad!" he exclaimed. "Oh, Jesus, here we go again!"
JC sighed.
Ten minutes later all five of them was back in the car.
Chris drove,
lance next to him in the front seat, while the three
others were
cuddled together in the back seat. "So, what are we going
to do
tonight?" Joey asked JC and Justin. "If I'm stuck in
bed, I don't
want to be bored. You guys have to take care of that."
"You'll have Lance there with you," JC answered,
at the same time
Chris said from the front seat. "you're spoiled rotten,
Joey.
"I'm not!!" Joey said from the back seat, pretending to
be very
insulted. "And lance is no fun. All he is going to do
is whine about
how much he misses you and how you can't be..." He was
stopped by
Justin's hand over his mouth. "I think that's enough
from you, baby."
Joey bit him. "I'm going to put that one down as frustration,
Joe,"
Justin said, looking at his sore finger. "You're aware
of that we
won't be doing anything for a long time either
First looking at Justin, then at JC, Joey leaned back.
"When did the
two of you all of a sudden grow up? You're no fun." Justin
groaned
and JC looked out through the window at the sky as if
he hoped to
find some heavenly guidance out there.
****
They were back at the hotel and a grumpy Joey and a whiny
lance was
tucked into bed, despite protests. "You two are supposed
to rest,"
Justin said. "So we're going to leave you for about an
hour. The
we'll order some food and we'll watch a movie or something,
'kay?" "I
guess," Joey sighed. "An hour?" Lance said. The he crawled
out of bed
again and hurried over to Chris. After kissing him warmly,
he got
back in bed.
"What?" he asked when he noticed the way Joey was
looking at him. "I
don't get to do that in a whole hour. That's a long time."
"It is,"
Joey agreed. "Guys? "You stay where you are," JC told
him. "We're
coming over." After a new round of kisses were done,
Joey and lance
was left to their own company.
"What do you think it will be like, Joey?" Lance then
asked. Lying on
side, hugging another pillow, Joey looked up at Lance.
"What will be
like?" "Being pregnant, of course," Lance replied. "I
mean, it just
happened, and I already feel different." To his surprise
Joey
actually thought about his question, without throwing
a snide remark.
"I guess I feel a little different too," he admitted.
"When all the
stuff with Johnny happened, I was scared out of my mind.
All I could
think about was that he was killing my babies, that he
was doing the
same to you... I was sure that they would be hurt..."
"I know," Lance
nodded. "We both were lucky."
A silence fell between them. "So, what are you going
to name your
kid?" Joey asked, shrugging away the uneasy mood in the
room. Lance's
eyes were shining. "Oh, that's an easy one! Christopher,
of course.
Named after his dad." "One of his dads." Joey absentmindedly
corrected him. "And you've got it bad!"
That made Lance frown. "Bad?" "Really bad," Joey
said. "The two of
you getting all Mr. and Mr. sunshine swear it isn't healthy."
"And you're going have JV and Justin admitted to a mental
institution," Lance came back. "You're driving them mad,
the both of
them." "But that's just for fun!" Joey said. "And they
know I only do
it because I care about them."
Getting a bit more serious, Joey added: !I do love them,
I really
do...but I don't want us to stop having fun. They get
all protective
and stuff now and I don't like that. I want my freedom
and I want us
to be the way we use to be." "You know that's not going
to happen,
joey,2 Lance said mildly. "Not after what happened today..."
"I know, " Joey said. The room was getting darker and
he turned to
his back to reach the lamp on the night stand. A twinge
of pain in
his back reminded him all too much of what had taken
place that
day... And he hated the idea of that it could happen
again, if he
didn't watch his back.
**Three months later**
I sure am hungry Joey thought as he got out the
shower. Three and a
half months along and he still only had a medium sized
poochie on his
tummy. He ran his hands on his stomach. He stopped in
front of the
mirror in his bathroom. I'm getting so fat, he thought.
He felt arms circle his waist and rest on his stomach.
Lips kissed
the back of his neck. "Am I fat?" Joey asked twining
his fingers with
Justin's.
Tread lightly, Justin thought. Last week, JC had
mistakenly told
Joey he looked like he'd gained some weight. A good thing
since Phil
had said he wasn't quite up to par for as far along as
he was.
However, Joey had taken it the wrong way and locked
himself in the
bathroom for three hours while he ate a gallon of Haagen-Daas.
Only
Lance was able to talk him out.
"You look beautiful, Joe. You are not fat." he said
just the way
Chris had taught him.
"Really?"
"Yes, honey, you look beautiful." JC said entering the
bathroom. He
had a glass of orange juice in one hand and a pre-natal
vitamin in
the other.
Joey took his vitamin and just as he was going to walk
out of the
bathroom, he felt movement in his stomach. He stood stock-still.
"Joe, is there something wrong?" JC asked
"No..."he stood still. There was the movement again.
"Oh...my...goodness..." he said slowly.
"What?" Justin asked getting a worried look on his face.
Joey grabbed
a hand from each of his mates and put it on his stomach.
"What is it..oh?" JC said feeling the movement under his hand.
"That's the babies?" Justin asked in a hushed voice.
Joey nodded, tears in his eyes. He really was going to be a father.
"Honey," JC said hugging Joey tightly. The Alpha side
of his wanted
to run around whooping and hollering and gloating.
Yeah, he'd gotten
his mate pregnant in one shot, but the rational side
decided this
wouldn't be this right time for that. He could probably
do it later
with Chris and Justin.
"Sweetie." Justin said also hugging Joey. There was a
knock on the
bedroom door and JC went to open it.
"Hey Chris, Lance."
"What's going on here?" Chris asked seeing Joey wipe tears
from his
eyes.
The babies moved..."Joey began only to be interrupted by JC.
"...for the first time." JC finished.
"That's great, Joe. My little one's been kicking me all
day," Lance
said putting his hands in the small of his back," You
got something
here for a pregnant boy to eat. I'm so hungry."
"Me too. Let's find something and leave these three upstairs."
They
waddled out of the room.
As Joey was fixing up breakfast to feed a small army the
doorbell
rang. "Lance could you get that?"
But before Lance could heave himself out of the chair,
Chris had come
downstairs with JC and Justin. "Sit down, babe. Don't
overexert
yourself." Chris said heading for the door.
Lance rolled his eyes. Chris came back a second later
with the next
door neighbors.
"We just wanted to welcome you to the neighborhood." a
very pregnant
Joey Lawrence said from beside his mate Joey McIntyre.
Chris took the
outstretched coffeecake from Joey Mac's hands.
"Join us? My mate just fixed breakfast." Justin said ushering
them
into the breakfast nook. Joey Mac helped his mate into
a nearby chair.
"How far along are you?" Lance asked gesturing to Joe's
burgeoning
stomach.
"Actually, I'm a week late. I'll be glad to not be pregnant
anymore.
This baby of his has been parked on my bladder for the
last two
months. Speaking of which."
Joey Mac came to help his mate out of the chair. "Second
door on the
left." Lance told him.
"Any names?" JC asked.
"We both agreed on David Joseph Lawrence McIntyre." Joey
Mac said in
his heavy Boston accent
"So have the little men reached that really dandy part
of the
pregnancy yet?" Joey Mac asked.
Lance raised an eyebrow. Joey did the same.
"Excuse me?" Chris said.
"The second trimester. Geez, Joe wanted to have
sex all the time. 4
or 5 times a day. He about wore me out."
"You mean in the second trimester they get really
horny" Chris asked
with a grin.
"Oh yes. Their bodies are changing to accommodate for
the babies
growing inside them. And their hormones skyrocket thus
causing them
to be extremely horny. Didn't they tell you that?" Joey
McIntyre said.
"NO" three voices replied looking at their beloved mates.
"What?" Both Joey and Lance echoed.
"Why didn't you tell us?" Chris asked.
"Because we'll never leave the bed" Lance said.
"And we were hoping that we wouldn't have to tell you"
Joey
pouted. "Besides you should have read you're 'The Pregnancy
Guide for
Fathers'."
"It really is quite informational and helpful" Joey
Lawrence
said. "So how far are you two."
"Three months' Both replied.
"Not to far along. They'll really start moving now"
Joey Lawrence
replied.
"We have three Joey's. Is this a good thing?" Chris asked.
"Yes" Joey replied as he hit Chris in the head with a piece of toast.
"What about the tour?" Joey McIntyre asked.
"Well Joey and Lance have taken time off. Management found
out and
well let's just say they weren't exactly fond of the
pregnancies"
Justin sighed. "But we told them we didn't care. We're
going to be
daddies and there's nothing they can do about it."
"I should have warned you about Johnny" Joey McIntyre
sighed. "He was
always an asshole."
Joey and Lance shivered at the thought and unconsciously
rubbed their
bellies. If their mates came a second later they wouldn't
be pregnant
now.
"Sorry didn't mean to bring up such a touchy subject" Joey M said.
It's okay" Joey replied. "It's over with. At least Jive
got rid of
him."
So have you thought names for your kids?" Joey Lawrence
asked trying
to change the subject.
"Christopher" Lance replied.
"Christopher?" Justin asked. "Isn't that a wussy name."
"And Who in their right mind would name a kid Justin" Chris retorted.
"okay enough bickering" JC replied.
"What about you Joe?" Joe asked.
Joey snickered. "Twins."
"Oh man, it's gonna be difficult like at two in the morning
feedings." Joey Mac said softly.
"That's why I have two mates. One to get one baby and
the other to
get the other" Joey grinned.
"HEY!"
"What? I'M the one giving Birth here. Not you" Joey replied.
Lance snickered. "Oh good one Joe."
Joey got up and started to clear the dishes.
"Hey love we'll take care of it. You relax" JC said taking
the dish
out of Joey's hand.
"But I'm restless" Joey pouted.
"Soon he'll be horny" Joey whispered to Chris.
"Can't wait for that" Justin grinned.
"You're bad Justin" Joey said as he sat down. Soon the
phone rang and
he answered. "Hello."
"STEVE! Hey how's my big brother" Joey replied.
"Oh fuck" Justin replied.
"What?" Chris asked.
"our families. We forgot to tell our families" Justin whispered.
"Oh fuck" Lance replied.
Joey got up and went into the living room. "Steve, can
I speak to
dad."
Joey sat on the couch and bit his lip. he had to tell
him that he was
going to be a grandfather. Not an easy chore in the Fatone
Household.
"Joey, how's my boy"
"Hi Dad. I'm fine. Dad, I need to tell you something"
Joey said in a
quiet voice. He hoped his father won't blow a gasket.
"I'm proud of you son. You're going to go far in the music
business.
Taking after your old man. I couldn't have been more
proud" Joe Sr.
smiled.
"Dad my career is on hold" Joey replied softly.
"How come?" Joe Sr. asked.
"Dad, this isn't going to be easy but promise me that
you'll
understand?" Joey said in a small voice.
"Joseph, what's the matter. You're my boy. You can tell
your old man
anything?" Joe assured his son.
"I've mated and I'm three months pregnant" Joey blurted out.
"What"
"I have two mates and twins on the way" Joey whimpered.
"No. You have a career first Joseph. YOU DO NOT HAVE MATES
NOR CAN BE
PREGNANT!" Joe screamed.
"Dad, it's true...I love my mates and my children. Please
understand"
Joey said as tears fell from his eyes.
"NO! I WON"T ALLOW YOU TO FUCK UP YOUR LIFE!" Joe Screamed.
"dad, I'm not fucking up my life" Joey pleaded.
"This is what I
want."
"You're coming home Joseph. Then we'll get an abortion
and you'll
life will be better" Joe said sternly.
"NO! I will NOT DO THAT!" Joey screamed into the phone.
"Joseph, I am your Father! you will do as I SAY! You're Coming home!"
"YOU CAN'T MAKE ME!" Joey screamed again.
"You will and we're going to get rid of those unwanted
bastards. No
son of mine is gonna bare children out of wedlock. Joseph
Anthony
Fatone Jr. I will not have you embarrassing our family
name!" Joe
replied angrily.
Joey dropped the phone and started to cry. He can't
understand why
his father would do this. To see how happy he is with
JC and Justin.
