Caiden (8:10:49 PM): He crawled down the fire escape and started to walk back towards Phoenix's again.
Phoenix (8:13:48 PM): Phoenix leaned against his car. "What's up?"
Caiden (8:14:06 PM): "I decided I didn't want to go home afterall."
Phoenix (8:15:57 PM): "Oh, okay." He nodded and unlocked his car again.
Caiden (8:16:16 PM): "Where are you heading too?" curiously.
Phoenix (8:17:48 PM): "Hell if I know. I guess I was gonna go to the beach for a bit."
Caiden (8:20:43 PM): "Want some company?"
Phoenix (8:22:42 PM): "Sure. If it's you I can handle that."
Caiden (8:23:25 PM): He looked at him a bit oddly. "Get in a fight?'
Phoenix (8:25:13 PM): Phoenix arched a brow. "What d'ya mean?"
Caiden (8:27:40 PM): "You said you could handle me."
Phoenix (8:28:05 PM): "I meant I'd be happy with that." He laughed. "Sorry."
Caiden (8:29:41 PM): Caiden opened the door. "Beach it is."
Phoenix (8:31:23 PM): Phoenix smiled at him and got back into the car, turning it on again and heading in the opposite direction.
Caiden (8:33:06 PM): He rested his hands in his lap, a little more conservative than he normally was.
Phoenix (8:33:45 PM): Glancing over at him, Phoenix quirked a brow. "Everything okay?"
Caiden (8:35:44 PM): He nodded a little because he didn't want to say no.
Phoenix (8:40:09 PM): "You're lying."
Caiden (8:43:22 PM): Another small nod./
Phoenix (8:43:42 PM): "Well, mind telling me why?"
Caiden (8:45:24 PM): "When we get to the beach."
Phoenix (8:45:56 PM): Phoenix nodded and took a turn, tapping the steering wheel.
Caiden (8:47:49 PM): He tapped the door a little, putting his arm out the window.
Phoenix (8:53:50 PM): When he got there, he pulled up in a lot and parked, getting out and coming over to Caiden's side.
Caiden (8:54:08 PM): Caiden fiddled with the door a moment before opening it.
Phoenix (8:56:00 PM): Phoenix touched his arm, leading him down to the beach.
Caiden (8:56:14 PM): He touched his hand and followed him
Phoenix (8:58:02 PM): Slinging an arm around his shoulders, Phoenix kissed the side of his head.
Caiden (8:59:03 PM): They got closer to the water and he started to sit down.
Phoenix (9:01:28 PM): Phoenix plopped down beside him. "So what's on your mind, love?"
Caiden (9:02:49 PM): He thought 'diapers' but said, "A lot.'
Phoenix (9:06:09 PM): "Well I guessed as much. Talk to me."
Caiden (9:08:06 PM): "How'
Caiden (9:08:11 PM): s school?" he asked him first.
Phoenix (9:08:36 PM): Phoenix arched a brow. "Caiden."
Caiden (9:09:57 PM): He swallowed and put his hands, clasped together, between his knees.
Phoenix (9:10:32 PM): "Come on. Out with it."
Caiden (9:11:40 PM): "G-Give me a minute."
Phoenix (9:12:31 PM): He nodded and wrapped his arms around his legs
Caiden (9:14:02 PM): Caiden rubbed at his cheek a little.
Phoenix (9:15:43 PM): Phoenix looked at him, then away.
Caiden (9:18:59 PM): "i have something really important to tell you."
Phoenix (9:20:01 PM): "Okay..."
Caiden (9:22:59 PM): He was shaking so bad, gripping his knees a little. "I'm pregnant."
Phoenix (9:24:00 PM): Phoenix blinked rapidly and then just stared at him. "P-Pregnant?"
Caiden (9:25:47 PM): Caiden couldn't look up. "Yeah."
Phoenix (9:26:18 PM): "Wow..."Phoenix swallowed and looked down at the sand
Caiden (9:28:51 PM): "Yeah..." bending his fingers a little at his knees.
Phoenix (9:30:34 PM): He looked up at him. "How long?"
Phoenix signed off at 9:32:05 PM.

Caiden (1:34:18 AM): "Early... just under a month."
Phoenix (1:50:23 AM): Another small nod and he scratched his head. "Damn."
Caiden (1:50:38 AM): Caiden let out a breath and touched the sand.
Phoenix (1:53:37 AM): "You're gonna keep it, right?"
Caiden (1:54:14 AM): "I was hoping you'd help me figure that out."
Phoenix (1:59:58 AM): Phoenix nodded slightly and wrung his hands. "Well, I...I know your parents are gonna flip and all."
Caiden (2:02:03 AM): "Flip... murder me... it's the same thing."
Phoenix (2:03:04 AM): He frowned. "I wouldn't want you to get rid of it, but it is ultimately up to you."
Caiden (2:04:35 AM): "No... it's not..."
Phoenix (2:08:50 AM): He rose a brow. "And why isn't it?""
Caiden (2:09:26 AM): "Because it's yours too."

Phoenix (3:40:50 PM): "I know that...but I won't make you do anything you don't want to."
Caiden (3:44:15 PM): He was getting more stressed by the minute. "I don't know..."

Phoenix (4:04:45 PM): He decided to stay quiet for a moment, to let them both process this.
Caiden (4:36:04 PM): He'd thought it over all week... in class... during gym class... when they messed around... and now he felt like the answers weren't fast enough... like he'd been waiting forever.
Phoenix (4:38:52 PM): Phoenix rubbed his hands together, gazing out at the ocean. A father. He'd be a father. It didn't quite kick in, but the thought scared him enough that his heart skipped.
Caiden (4:39:24 PM): "Phoenix?" quietly.
Phoenix (4:39:54 PM): He startled a little and then glanced at Caiden. "Yeah?"
Caiden (4:41:08 PM): "What do you think... I mean... we should do?"
Phoenix (4:48:42 PM): Phoenix let out a breath he'd been holding and swallowed a little. "I...I don't know, Cai."
Caiden (4:52:59 PM): He closed his eyes and put his elbows on his legs, head in hands. "I need to know. I can't do it... pay for it.. take care of it..." quietly.
Phoenix (5:01:18 PM): He chewed his lip. "If...if you decide to keep it we'll take care of it together."
Caiden (5:01:54 PM): "I won't be able to live at home anymore..."
Phoenix (5:05:15 PM): "Then...you can live with us."
Caiden (5:07:12 PM): "I don't know... Nix..."
Phoenix (5:19:06 PM): "I'm just saying. You can't go live on the streets and....oh fucking hell I don't know."
Caiden (5:20:54 PM): It seemed so scattered and he just felt completly seperated... like his mind was everywhere. "I always wanted to live with you."
Phoenix (5:23:23 PM): Phoenix glanced at him, giving him a soft smile. "We'll figure it out."
Caiden (5:26:48 PM): Caiden was curled up into himself a little, arms around his knees. He was scared beyond belief
Phoenix (5:29:53 PM): Coming over, Phoenix wrapped him up in a hug. "I won't let you do it alone. I promise."
Caiden (5:34:51 PM): He let himself fall against him, burying his head into his chest.
Phoenix (5:41:25 PM): Phoenix held him tight, stroking his back, head against his.
Caiden (5:43:44 PM): He started to cry, closing his eyes and letting Phoenix wrap him up.
Phoenix (5:46:28 PM): Rocking back and forth, Phoenix whispered to him soothingly.
Caiden (5:51:14 PM): It amazed him and scared him all at once but he didn't express either of the thoughts, just letting Phoenix comfort him.
Phoenix (6:11:40 PM): Phoenix kissed his temple, giving him agentle squeeze.
Caiden (6:18:11 PM): "i'm sorry..." quietly.
Phoenix (6:21:27 PM): "Don't say that, Cai.
Caiden (6:23:15 PM): "but I am..." quiely.
Caiden (6:23:20 PM): [yar]
Phoenix (6:26:30 PM): "You shouldn't have to be."
Caiden (6:27:29 PM): He pulled back to look at him finally. "You're at uni and I'm still in secondary..."
Phoenix (6:32:35 PM): Phoenix nodded a bit. "Yes, but that's not going to affect things, Cai."
Caiden (6:34:24 PM): "Why wouldn't it?"
Phoenix (6:35:45 PM): "Because I'm still here. I'm not going anywhere."
Caiden (6:50:25 PM): "What if you aren't? What if it's too much?"
Phoenix (6:53:24 PM): Phoenix sighed a bit, rubbing at the back of his head. "I told you we'd figure it out and we will."
Caiden (6:54:28 PM): He was especially tiny and scrawny for 16, wrapping thin arms around himself and looking at Phoenix. "Alright..." softly.
Phoenix (6:58:43 PM): Phoenix touched his cheek and gave him a smile. "I love you, Cai. We'll get through this together."
Caiden (7:00:44 PM): "How can you be so calm?"
Phoenix (7:01:37 PM): "Because this is only the time for one of us to be freaking out."
Caiden (7:15:46 PM): He played with the sand for a moment, the sun setting.
Phoenix (7:17:17 PM): "Maybe we should get back home..."
Caiden (7:21:14 PM): He looked up a little. "Back to your house or dropping me off?" [say dropping lol cuz hes gonna tell about gwen]
Phoenix (7:21:53 PM): "Well I was gonna drop you off. Is that okay?"
Caiden (7:22:30 PM): Caiden laughed a little. "I don't think tha's a good idea."
Phoenix (7:23:18 PM): Phoenix arched a brow. "Why?"
Caiden (7:23:50 PM): "Oh... um..." he knew it didn't matter now, for him anyways. "I caught Reese with his pants down."
Phoenix (7:24:17 PM): He looked at him oddly. "What?"
Caiden (7:25:36 PM): "You know... pants down... completly not what I needed to see..."
Phoenix (7:28:17 PM): Phoenix's brows furrowed. "Why in the hell would he be naked while Gwen's there? I mean...OH!" Phoenix blinked a bit. "Wait a minute..."
Caiden (7:34:55 PM): Caiden was trying not to laugh a little, because he found it a little but funny.
Phoenix (7:36:38 PM): "You mean? They were....oh damn."
Caiden (7:37:28 PM): "Yeah..." a bit quietly. "I mean, I'm pretty sure... they seemed pretty freaked out when I came in."
Phoenix (7:41:49 PM): Phoenix ran a hand through his hair. "Wow."
Caiden (7:44:30 PM): "i don't know what they're doing. He's... really young."
Phoenix (7:46:48 PM): "Yeah, I realize that, Cai."
Caiden (7:48:11 PM): Caiden figeted a little. "I shouldn't of said anything."
Phoenix (7:48:59 PM): He arched a brow. "What's the big deal? If they had sex, they had sex. Can't take it back and it's not like we're gonna go run and tell your parents."
Caiden (7:49:42 PM): "Its just their business... Gwen didn't tell you about me."
Phoenix (7:57:13 PM): Phoenix looked at him oddly now. "Wait...she knew?"
Caiden (7:57:30 PM): "Yesm" quietly.
Phoenix (7:59:16 PM): He looked a bit mad now, lips pursed. "I see."
Caiden (7:59:49 PM): '"What do you mean ' I see'?"
Phoenix (8:03:25 PM): "Nothing."
Caiden (8:03:54 PM): Caiden frowned. "Well I couldn't exactly walk all the way there..."
Phoenix (8:09:23 PM): A nod and Phoenix dangled his arms over his knees.
Caiden (8:13:03 PM): He looked at him for a long moment. "Are we leaving?" quietly.
Phoenix (8:18:18 PM): "Yeah, in a minute.
Caiden (8:19:53 PM): "Okay..." staying quiet.
Phoenix (8:24:11 PM): Phoenix got a hold of himself and got to his feet. "Let's go."
Caiden (8:24:50 PM): Pushing himself off the ground, he started to walk towards the car.
Phoenix (8:31:16 PM): Getting into the front seat, Phoenix turned on the engine, heading back towards Caiden's place.
Caiden (8:35:23 PM): He frowned when he realized where they were going, but supressed it with biting his lip.
Phoenix (8:37:19 PM): Pulling up outside, he parked in front. "I'll see you later."
Caiden (8:37:43 PM): The frown only deepened and he opened the door.
Phoenix (8:39:40 PM): Phoenix gripped the steering wheel and then let go of it, not saying anything.
Caiden (8:43:45 PM): "Love you," very quiet, sliding out.
Phoenix (8:45:20 PM): He didnt' say it back, angrier than he should have been but not caring right at that second.
Caiden (8:46:53 PM): When Phoenix didn't say anything, he slammed the door hard and made his way to the fire escape.
Phoenix (8:53:13 PM): Phoenix startled for a moment and then drove off with screeching tires towards his parents' house.
Caiden (8:53:44 PM): The sound made him shake and he climbed up the rungs.
Phoenix (8:58:29 PM): He got to the house and went into the guest house they'd made up for him, sitting down on the edge and brooding.
Caiden (8:59:18 PM): -goes home and cries about it-
Phoenix (9:01:06 PM): (AWW stop it. :-P)
Caiden (9:01:22 PM): [well he is?]
Phoenix (9:02:01 PM): (I know, it's just sad)
Caiden (9:02:49 PM): [that was my way of saying "and skip"]
Phoenix (9:06:01 PM): (Skip to what? Him seeing Phoenix again and slapping him for being mean? Lmao)
Caiden (9:08:23 PM): [well it has to go somewhere]
Phoenix (9:09:13 PM): (All righttt. Let's see.)
Phoenix (9:09:40 PM): Phoenix was out shopping with his mum when he saw Gwen out with her grandmother and gave her the evil eye.
Caiden (9:12:22 PM): Caiden was dragging along behind her, looking at shops now and then.
Phoenix (9:16:25 PM): His mum was going on about vegetables and Gwen noticed him, waving a bit. He sneered slightly and she rose a brow.
Caiden (9:17:40 PM): He stopped to stare at an icecream shop they just put in.
Phoenix (9:19:10 PM): When he turned away to ignore her, she got miffed. "What an asshole."
Caiden (9:33:50 PM): "Huh?" looking confused and drooling over ice cream.
Phoenix (9:34:31 PM): She nodded over to the right. "Phoenix, being a prat and ignoring us."
Caiden (9:35:32 PM): Caiden looked up, surprised he wouldn't just come over.
Phoenix (9:39:45 PM): "God, he really does have a stick up his arse."
Caiden (9:40:46 PM): "Let
Caiden (9:41:05 PM): s get ice cream and she can shop," nodding to her grandmother, "and we'll just sit."
Phoenix (9:48:59 PM): "Yeah, okay." Gwen bore holes into the back of Phoenix's head, following Caiden over to the ice cream shop.
Caiden (9:50:55 PM): Caiden ordered a sundae, watching Phoenix across the way as he waited for it.
Phoenix (9:52:13 PM): Gwen sat there licking a vanilla cone and her eyes were narrowed.
Caiden (9:52:49 PM): "Whats he doing?" facing away and eating a big scoop of chocolate.
Phoenix (9:54:37 PM): "Just window-shopping apparently, the coward."
Caiden (9:57:54 PM): "He saw us, though."
Phoenix (9:58:12 PM): "Yes, he gave me an evil glare."
Caiden (10:00:11 PM): He turned around a little and waited for Phoenix to look.
Phoenix (10:04:58 PM): But he didn't and this time Gwen threw away her cone and marched over to him, shoving him a bit. "you can stop being a shitty prat anytime now, Phoenix."
Caiden (10:06:04 PM): Caiden got up, holding his little cup.
Phoenix (10:10:56 PM): "Hey, what in the hell?!" Phoenix turned around, towering over Gwen and she shoved him again.
"You know exactly what, you dickhead!"
Caiden (10:12:50 PM): He cringed, coming over to them.
Phoenix (10:16:02 PM): Phoenix grabbed her wrists and she kicked him.
Caiden (10:18:12 PM): "Gwen, stop," his voice quiet but firm.
Phoenix (10:21:49 PM): Gwen yanked away from him, eyes narrowed into slits. "You're a bastard, you know that? He only took me because he didn't want to worry you if he was wrong. GOD, you're pathetic!"
Caiden (10:22:43 PM): "Gwen, it's okay..." it wasn't, but he wished it wasn't a big deal.
Phoenix (10:23:45 PM): Phoenix rubbed at his knee, glaring at her. "Oh would you shut the bloody hell up?! At least I didn't fuck my best friends thirteen year old brother!"
Phoenix (10:23:59 PM): Gwen inhaled sharply, staring at him with widened eyes and her mouth gaping.
Caiden (10:29:27 PM): Caiden shrunk a little in his spot and glared at Phoenix like no other.
Phoenix (10:31:44 PM): Then she reeled back and punched him as hard as she could, watching him stumble. "That thirteen year old's being more of a man than you are right now, you spiteful prick!" She hissed, tears in her eyes as she stalked away.
Caiden (10:32:16 PM): Caiden touched her arm, gently.
Phoenix signed off at 10:36:59 PM.

Phoenix (12:26:44 AM): She pulled away, wrapping her arms around herself. "I cannot BELIEVE him!"
Caiden (12:27:21 AM): "I'm sorry I said anything... I just... he's just saying that to say it."
Phoenix (12:29:24 AM): Gwen glanced over at him, wiping her face. "Do not make excuses for him, Caiden. Not this time."
Caiden (12:30:21 AM): Caiden looked at Phoenix. "What is your problem?!"
Phoenix (12:37:54 AM): Phoenix stared at him blankly. "My problem...? My problem is you."
Caiden (12:38:25 AM): He got a look about him like he'd be struck. "Me?"
Phoenix (12:39:55 AM): "Yes, you! That's what I said, isn't it? You're here acting like things are all fucking normal. And you let her in on something that shouldn't have concerned anyone but us at first."
Caiden (12:41:19 AM): "How else do you want me to act? If I acted the way I felt, I'd be locked up in my room all day. I didn't want to run to you with a positive test if it was wrong!"
Phoenix (12:45:13 AM): Phoenix gritted his teeth. "Fine. That was your choice. And this is mine." He turned on his heel and walked off to find his mum.
Caiden (12:46:07 AM): "What's your choice, exactly? To run away from me? And YOUR child?"
Phoenix (12:57:10 AM): He stopped and turned a bit. "Don't you dare. Don't you fucking dare, Caiden Sieres. I swear to god."
Caiden (12:58:29 AM): "Then what are you doing?!"
Phoenix (1:01:56 AM): "I'm going to help my mother until all three of us calm the fuck down."
Caiden (1:03:18 AM): "Maybe if you hadn't gotten so territorial last night, this would of happened. What's it matter who took me where?"
Phoenix (1:06:09 AM): Phoenix clenched his fists. "You don't understand and I don't have to explain it to you if all you both are gonna do is claw at me. So fuck it."
Caiden (1:06:52 AM): "Well when you get pissed off when you need to focus on something more important, I want to know why."
Phoenix (1:10:57 AM): Gwen stared between them and Phoenix just threw up his hands, frustrated. "Forget it!"
Caiden (1:11:55 AM): "Don't do that."
Phoenix (1:17:34 AM): "Don't do what, Caiden? What am I supposed to do?!"
Caiden (1:18:57 AM): "Be my boyfriend!"
Phoenix (1:19:50 AM): Phoenix pressed his lips together. "I am!" He paused. "I am..."he repeated more quietly.
Caiden (1:20:20 AM): "Yeah, you are," looking at him.
Phoenix (1:22:43 AM): He ran a hand through his hair, grazing his now bruised cheek.
Caiden (1:24:13 AM): "We can talk about it later..." he could see Phoenix's mom coming.
Phoenix (1:25:43 AM): "Yeah..."Phoenix turned when his mum called him and headed over to her.
Caiden (1:26:16 AM): Caiden stepped back to where Gwen was.
Phoenix (1:26:54 AM): Gwen bit at her lip and flashed him the briefest of smiles before heading back into the store.
Caiden (1:34:07 AM): Reluctantly, he followed her back into the store.
Phoenix (1:35:42 AM): She was still on the edge and grabbed things from the shelves, tossing them in a cart.
Caiden (1:36:25 AM): "I don't know what the hell is wrong with him."
Phoenix (1:40:14 AM): "Yeah, neither do I." She wasn't over being angry. She still wanted to hit him. And the comment about Reese had hurt her more than she'd admit.
Caiden (1:40:33 AM): "You alright?"
Phoenix (1:42:15 AM): "No, I'm not alright."she snapped, tossing a bag of cherries and it burst open in the cart.
Caiden (1:42:59 AM): "Don't let him get to you. He's just being a bastard."
Phoenix (1:43:53 AM): She glanced over at him. "Easier said than done."
Caiden (1:46:12 AM): "Yeah... I know."
Phoenix (1:47:51 AM): She pushed the cart back over to where her grandmother was, faking a smile.
Caiden (1:48:16 AM): He didn't bother being happy and peppy.
Phoenix (1:50:05 AM): They got in line and her grandmother paid for things and Gwen carried most of it out to the car.
Caiden (1:50:23 AM): He took some things too, following along.
Phoenix (1:51:22 AM): Once in the car, Gwen sat in the backseat, legs curled up to her chest.
Caiden (1:52:37 AM): Caiden felt like he should stay his distance but half-way back to the house he laid his head on her shoulder.
Phoenix (1:56:04 AM): Looking over at him a moment, she sighed and then rested her head on his .

Caiden (7:31:45 PM): Leaving Gwen's just as it was getting darker out, avoiding her grandmother in the kitchen, he walked across the lawn to Phoenix's.
Phoenix (7:32:43 PM): Phoenix was in the front room, curled up on the floor and painting with the music on.
Caiden (7:35:52 PM): Knocking on the door and waiting, he looked around a little.
Phoenix (7:37:19 PM): Glancing up, Phoenix grumbled and came to the door, stopping with it open halfway.
Caiden (7:42:28 PM): "You can open it all the way, you know?"
Phoenix (7:43:00 PM): He nodded a bit and slowly opened it, stepping aside to let Caiden in.
Caiden (7:43:59 PM): Caiden stepped in and was quiet.
Phoenix (7:44:49 PM): Phoenix went back to the livingroom and sat down where he had been before.
Caiden (7:45:20 PM): He took his shoes off like always and followed him.
Phoenix (7:46:48 PM): Splotching some paint on a sheet of paper, he began to draw what he'd penciled in earlier.
Caiden (7:48:21 PM): "I thought we could talk."
Phoenix (7:50:10 PM): "All right." He nodded again.
Caiden (7:50:37 PM): "About why you're so mad at me."
Phoenix (7:51:59 PM): Phoenix looked up at him, sighing. "I'm not mad at you."
Caiden (7:52:12 PM): "At Gwen?"
Phoenix (7:54:21 PM): He shrugged a bit. "She got to share that with you and I didn't."
Caiden (7:56:42 PM): "And I didn't want to scare you."
Phoenix (7:58:32 PM): "So you were allowed to be scared and going through that without me, but you wanted to spare me?"
Caiden (7:58:57 PM): "i'm used to being scared."
Phoenix (7:59:44 PM): Phoenix shook his head. "Then it was my right to be pissed off because you decided to keep it from me and take her instead."
Caiden (8:02:48 PM): "Are you really going to stay mad at me over this?"
Phoenix (8:04:20 PM): "No, not really."
Caiden (8:06:30 PM): "so then why bring it up?"
Phoenix (8:07:51 PM): "Because it upset me, Caiden. That's why."
Caiden (8:08:12 PM): "I'm sorry it did... but I had my reasons."
Phoenix (8:10:14 PM): "And it's over. So fine, whatever."
Caiden (8:10:44 PM): Caiden sat on the floor with his back to the couch., thinking about saying something but not.
Phoenix (8:15:59 PM): Phoenix dabbled back into his painting, silent.
Caiden (8:16:56 PM): "I didn't want to scare you and have you break up with me... I mean... even if I wasn't..."
Phoenix (8:18:10 PM): Phoenix stopped and stared at him incredulously. "Break up with you? Are you serious?"
Caiden (8:19:27 PM): "I panicked! I mean... it's a really serious thing... even if it was just a scare..."
Phoenix (8:21:59 PM): "I can see that. But you should've trusted me, Caiden. If it were the other way around I'd have trusted you."
Caiden (8:24:10 PM): "It wasn't all about trust... I just wanted to make sure..."
Phoenix (8:24:54 PM): "Right, well now you know."
Caiden (8:27:50 PM): "Right... in case I get pregnant twice. I think I'll get it down after one."
Phoenix (8:30:41 PM): Phoenix gave him a look but said nothing.
Caiden (8:33:01 PM): He put his hands in his lap. ""i'm sorry..." he was still a little freaked.
Phoenix (8:35:11 PM): "Okay." He looked at him.
Caiden (8:41:47 PM): Caiden was looking at his painting and not really at him.
Phoenix (8:42:51 PM): "What?"
Caiden (8:43:15 PM): "nothing."
Phoenix (8:44:42 PM): "So...having dinner at Gwen's?"
Caiden (8:47:48 PM): "Yeah... dinner at Gwen's."
Phoenix (8:49:49 PM): He nodded slightly. "Thought so."
Caiden (8:50:19 PM): "Well, I didn't exactly have an invite from anyone else."
Phoenix (8:56:04 PM): Phoenix sighed. "Yeah...not for lack of my mum bothering me though."
Caiden (8:56:55 PM): "Because you didn't want me around."
Phoenix (9:20:27 PM): "Not then I didn't, no."
Caiden (9:20:57 PM): "and now?"
Phoenix (9:21:35 PM): "Now...yes, I want you here."
Caiden (9:23:47 PM): "Okay..." softly, nodding a little and sitting up more.
Phoenix (9:24:53 PM): Phoenix smiled a bit at him. "How've you been feeling?"
Caiden (9:27:17 PM): "Not feelin' it yet..."
Phoenix (9:30:01 PM): He nodded slightly. "You...uh...want anything?'
Caiden (9:33:04 PM): "If you want me to stay around, I could use some food," smiling a little.
Phoenix (9:35:23 PM): A laugh. "All right, Mum made some stuff before her and Dad left for the night."
Caiden (9:36:00 PM): He touched the couch and got up, stretching a little.
Phoenix (9:38:34 PM): Phoenix took his hand, leading him into the kitchen.
Caiden (9:41:59 PM): Following behind him, he let the carpet squish under his toes.
Phoenix (9:47:28 PM): "All right, have at it." Phoenix opened the fridge.
Caiden (9:47:51 PM): "Oh that's a big lot to choose from..." looking around it
Phoenix (9:52:13 PM): Phoenix sat at the counter. "You know how she is."
Caiden (9:53:20 PM): Caiden picked out simple stuff. Tuna salad and some pasta dish.
Phoenix (9:56:23 PM): Phoenix watched him with a little smile on his face. "So you left Reese over there? Because I know you couldn't have left him at home."
Caiden (9:58:06 PM): "Yeah... I left Reese with Gwen.
Phoenix (9:59:12 PM): He smirked a bit. "Well then."
Caiden (10:00:26 PM): "Well her Nana's there..."
Phoenix (10:04:19 PM): "Yeah, and that means what?"
Caiden (10:05:22 PM): A small laugh. "Yeah, I don't know."
Phoenix (10:05:58 PM): Phoenix chuckled to himself. "We mastered the art of quiet sex."
Caiden (10:06:17 PM): "Yeah we did."
Caiden (10:06:30 PM): "But it's not normal for Reese to be over Gwen's and in her room.
Phoenix (10:07:02 PM): Phoenix shrugged. "Well he's never reallly been over there much to be in her room at her grandma's."
Caiden (10:10:55 PM): "I guess..." scooping stuff.
Phoenix (10:14:24 PM): "They'll be fine." He nodded.
Caiden (10:21:25 PM): "Yeah, I know. Until one or the other decides to stop."
Phoenix (10:21:42 PM): Phoenix rose a brow. "Stop what?
Caiden (10:22:59 PM): "Doing whatever their doing.
Phoenix (10:23:35 PM): He shrugged. "Who knows what in the hell it actually is that they're doing."
Caiden (10:25:48 PM): Caiden found a fork after putting the containers away, grabbing the plate.
Phoenix (10:30:24 PM): "You gonna eat in here or out there?"
Caiden (10:30:38 PM): "wherever..."
Phoenix (10:31:04 PM): Phoenix nodded and made his way back out into the living room. "You can have a tray there and I'm gonna finish my painting."
Caiden (10:32:14 PM): He took the small plate and followed him out.
Phoenix (10:33:21 PM): Laying out on the floor on his stomach, Phoenix returned to his painting.
Caiden (10:42:37 PM): He ate, quietly, and gazed down now and then at the painting.
Phoenix (10:43:03 PM): Phoenix blew on some wet parts and then tried new colors, humming under his breath.
Caiden (10:43:31 PM): "Are you going to paint the whole time I'm here?"
Phoenix (10:44:08 PM): "Nope. Just wanna finish this little bit then I'm done for the night."
Caiden (10:49:16 PM): "Alright..." chewing on the fettucini.
Phoenix signed off at 10:50:55 PM.

Phoenix (5:59:58 PM): He worked for a bit, chewing at his lower lip in concentration.
Caiden (6:00:24 PM): Getting bored, and finished with his food, he got up to clean it off.
Phoenix (6:02:20 PM): Phoenix finally put the painting up to dry and went to wash his hands.
Caiden (6:13:37 PM): He stayed in the kitchen, looking out the window.
Phoenix (6:16:20 PM): Coming out from the bathroom, he made his way over to Caiden in the kitchen and wrapped his arms around him from behind, kissing the side of his head.
Caiden (6:31:00 PM): Smiling a little at the gesture, he touched his arms.
Phoenix (6:34:17 PM): Phoenix rested his head against Caiden's and closed his eyes. "I'm sorry about how I've acted towards you lately.
Caiden (6:35:25 PM): "It's alright," softly.
Phoenix (6:44:11 PM): He sighed and kissed Caiden's cheek, rubbing his hands over his stomach.
Caiden (6:44:50 PM): He smiled a little bit wider, sinking back against him a little.
Phoenix (6:55:51 PM): "You've got such a cute little bump,"he murmured.
Caiden (6:59:37 PM): "Are you sure that's not just my normal pudge?"
Phoenix (7:00:08 PM): Phoenix smirked. "Nope, I can tell."
Caiden (7:03:50 PM): "how can you tell?"
Phoenix (7:11:13 PM): "Because it rounds out more. Makes your bellybutton more pokey." He chuckled.
Caiden (7:14:37 PM): My belly buttons pokey?"
Phoenix (7:17:45 PM): Phoenix giggled into Caiden's hair. "A bit."
Caiden (7:18:08 PM): "I thought it was still pretty inny like," smiling to himself.
Phoenix (7:20:23 PM): He snorted. "Well for the most part, yes."
Caiden (7:21:28 PM): He touched Phoenix wrist a little, looking out the window still.
Phoenix (7:26:11 PM): "Wanna go out back? Or you like standing here?"
Caiden (7:28:42 PM): "We can go out back."
Phoenix (7:33:25 PM): A smile and Phoenix took his hand, leading him out onto the back porch.
Caiden (7:36:40 PM): He shut the door behind him, following.
Phoenix (7:39:21 PM): Phoenix laid out on the hammock and gestured Caiden over.
Caiden (7:39:54 PM): He edged his way on from the side, falling against him a little.
Phoenix (7:45:49 PM): Laughing, Phoenix held him tight and pecked kisses across his face.
Caiden (7:46:38 PM): Caiden laughed a little and tried to duck his head away.
Phoenix (7:47:36 PM): "Oh no you don't." Phoenix rained kisses across his cheeks, eyelids and nose
Caiden (7:48:18 PM): "Those tickle..." grinning.
Phoenix (7:51:26 PM): "Really now?" Phoenix leaned down, bringing up Caiden's shirt and kissing across his stomach. "What about these?"
Caiden (7:52:41 PM): "Yess!" wiggling a bit down/
Phoenix (7:53:22 PM): "Damn." He blew a raspberry on his stomach lightly.
Caiden (7:54:40 PM): "Phoenix!"sucking in his stomach a little.
Phoenix (7:55:40 PM): "What?" Phoenix looked up innocently.
Caiden (8:00:01 PM): "That tickles," pouting.
Phoenix (8:07:58 PM): "Aww, poor baby. I'm sorry." He kissed Caiden's stomach softly and then replaced his shirt.
Caiden (8:13:33 PM): "Mm... I forgive you."
Phoenix (8:13:53 PM): He chuckled and rested his chin there instead.
Caiden (8:24:41 PM): Caiden hiked his shirt up a little, redoing that Phoenix had done.
Phoenix (8:27:40 PM): He smiled at that, nudging his cheek against warm skin.
Caiden (8:31:10 PM): touching his hair a little, he bent his fingrs.
Phoenix (8:32:56 PM): "This baby's gonna be so spoiled."
Caiden (8:34:42 PM): "You think so?"softly.
Phoenix (8:35:28 PM): He nodded. "I know so. It's gonna have everything it wants and needs."
Caiden (8:40:54 PM): He felt a little more comforted at that. "When are we going to tell people?"
Phoenix (8:43:35 PM): "Whenever you want, love."

Caiden (12:12:36 AM): "I don't want to choose."
Phoenix (12:13:10 AM): "All right. Tonight then."
Caiden (12:24:50 AM): "Yours?"
Phoenix (12:27:18 AM): Phoenix chuckled. "Yes, that seems easiest."
Caiden (12:28:50 AM): "alright..." softly.
Phoenix (12:32:10 AM): "They'll be back later sometime."
Caiden (12:43:02 AM): "Okay..." nodding a little and touching Phoenix's shoulder.
Phoenix (12:44:31 AM): He smiled up at him. "It will be all right, at least with them."
Caiden (12:48:48 AM): "I'm not sure it's going to be THAT easy."
Phoenix (12:49:18 AM): "WEll...probably not, but they won't crucify you."
Caiden (1:01:21 AM): "I know that... but they'll look at me... and then they'll realize that hey, we've been screwing... which I actually don't think your mum has thought about."
Phoenix (1:03:20 AM): Phoenix nodded a bit. "You're right about that one. But it was bound to happen sooner or later and she had to know that."
Caiden (1:13:37 AM): "Later rather than sooner..." stroking fingers through Phoenix's hair.
Phoenix (1:15:02 AM): He shrugged a bit. "IT happened and we have to deal with it. They'll just...have to learn to live with it."
Caiden (1:15:21 AM): "Come up here..." softly.
Phoenix (1:16:20 AM): Phoenix moved up to lay beside him and cupped his cheek for a moment.
Caiden (1:20:48 AM): Caiden snuggled down so he could lay his head against Phoenix's arm.
Phoenix (1:21:44 AM): Looking down at his boyfriend, he couldn't help grinning as he rubbed his back.
Caiden (1:26:43 AM): "Oo..." arching his back a little at the much needed touch.
Phoenix (1:27:11 AM): Phoenix chuckled at that and kneaded Caiden's tense muscles gently.
Caiden (1:28:07 AM): Laying his head on Phoenix's upper arm, he buried his face and pressed to him.
Phoenix (1:28:43 AM): "You like that, huh?" He smiled and rubbed up either side of Caiden's spine.
Caiden (1:29:31 AM): "Who wouldn't?" letting out a satisfied sigh.
Phoenix (1:30:06 AM): "Someone who doesn't like being touched?" He shrugged and rubbed at Caiden's lower back.
Caiden (1:30:49 AM): "They'd learn to like it if they had the right person," Caiden didn't like being touched much, but this was Phoenix.
Phoenix (1:31:35 AM): He smiled and nodded. "Very true." His fingers kneaded at the tight muscle there.
Caiden (1:32:00 AM): "Mmm... I did..." quirylu.
Caiden (1:32:04 AM): quietly-
Phoenix (1:33:01 AM): Phoenix pecked Caiden's forehead. "Yeah you found someone to spoil you."
Caiden (1:33:17 AM): "Spoil... love... whichever..."
Phoenix (1:34:28 AM): "Both." Phoenix nodded seriously.
Caiden (1:40:36 AM): "Then where's my brand new car?" joking.
Phoenix (1:40:54 AM): Phoenix smirked. "It's being delivered."
Caiden (1:45:18 AM): "hilarious."
Phoenix (1:46:40 AM): He winked. "I could be totally serious, ya know?"
Caiden (1:47:39 AM): "Yeah, yeah... only my birthday was about a month ago... about the time you got me knocked up."
Phoenix (1:48:46 AM): Phoenix snorted. "Thanks for reminding me. It was a late birthday present."
Caiden (1:49:19 AM): "Mm... whatever you say," turning his head a little. "I can't even drive yet. I'm going to be walking to the store of diapers."
Caiden (1:49:52 AM): for-
Phoenix (1:51:03 AM): Phoenix frowned. "Er...have you forgotten about me here?"
Caiden (1:51:35 AM): "No... but you won't always be there."
Phoenix (1:52:30 AM): "Well yes, I realize that. But you're not going to run out while I'm away."
Caiden (1:53:13 AM): "Hey, you never know."

Phoenix (3:53:28 PM): "All right. So just in case then."
Caiden (3:57:30 PM): "We'll just buy a lot of diapers," joking a little.
Phoenix (3:59:34 PM): Phoenix chuckled. "There's always that. Buy in bulk."
Caiden (4:00:01 PM): "We'll use them as end tables.
Phoenix (4:02:26 PM): At that, he snorted. "Oh yes, baby chic."
Caiden (4:02:47 PM): "I'
Caiden (4:02:53 PM): ll bet no one else has done it."
Phoenix (4:06:39 PM): "Probably not. We'll be the first."
Caiden (4:22:32 PM): Caiden didn't talk for a long moment. "Can't wait for school to start and everyone to poke at me."
Phoenix (4:24:12 PM): Phoenix gave him a little smile. "Don't worry. You've got Gwen and Reese to fight them off."
Caiden (4:42:28 PM): "That doesn
Caiden (4:42:32 PM): 't make me feel too safe."
Phoenix (4:45:06 PM): He laughed lightly. "Oh you don't give those two enough credit."

Caiden (6:31:32 PM): "I do, but they're not going to be around me all the time."
Phoenix (6:34:47 PM): "True." He nodded a bit. "You'll be okay, Caid."

Caiden (1:38:16 AM): "People already hate me there, remember?"
Phoenix (1:40:49 AM): Phoenix rolled his eyes. "Yeah, I remember."
Caiden (1:49:14 AM): Caiden touched Phoenix's side a little, looking at him.
Phoenix (1:52:24 AM): Phoenix gave him a smile. "I wish I was still in that school, just to make sure you were okay."
Caiden (1:55:26 AM): "But you
Caiden (1:55:35 AM): 're not... you're all grown up and going to Uni."
Phoenix (2:00:05 AM): He sighed. "Yeah...shit luck for being born a few years before you."
Caiden (2:08:28 AM): "But hey... this way you can take care of me and the kids..." joking.
Phoenix (2:09:25 AM): Smirking, Phoenix tossled his hair. "Oh you are hilarious."
Caiden (2:17:38 AM): "I know."
Phoenix (2:19:07 AM): He grinned and grabbed him up, pulling him against him and kissing all over his face once more.
Caiden (2:34:01 AM): "Phoenixxxx..." giggling and scooting down in the hammock.
Phoenix (2:34:34 AM): "Yes, that is my name. Say it louder and I do believe next door Nana might just hear you."
Caiden (2:35:38 AM): "I'm sensitive!"
Phoenix (2:36:37 AM): He smirked. "Really? How much?"
Caiden (2:37:17 AM): "Really, REALLY, sensitive."
Phoenix (2:37:47 AM): Phoenix's smirk widened into a grin as he kissed down Caiden's jaw.
Caiden (2:44:35 AM): "Mmm.... not there."
Phoenix (2:45:18 AM): Smiling, he worked his way downwards again, lifting Caiden's shirt and kissing down his side.
Caiden (2:46:00 AM): He giggled just a little.
Phoenix (2:48:34 AM): "Mm I'm getting there." And then he kissed across his stomach.
Caiden (2:53:54 AM): Sucking his stomach in a little, he smiled.
Phoenix (2:56:25 AM): He pressed his lips right over the small bump and nudged them there.

Caiden (5:27:19 PM): "I'm scared..." he repeated himself from before. Why WOULDN'T he be?
Phoenix (5:28:37 PM): "I know, love."
Caiden (5:29:06 PM): "You have no idea how good that feels, either."
Phoenix (5:43:29 PM): Phoenix looked up at him. "Oh yes?"
Caiden (5:44:23 PM): "Yeah... this..." touching the back of his neck.
Phoenix (5:49:22 PM): He chuckled a bit, rubbing at him and kissed his chin.
Caiden (5:50:08 PM): "i'm scared but you make it feel like it should happen.'
Phoenix (5:57:03 PM): A smile and Phoenix stroked his hair. "It should happen."
Caiden (5:58:39 PM): "i never would of thought so."
Phoenix (6:03:37 PM): "Well now that it is happening, I'm happy about it."
Caiden (6:07:55 PM): He smiled a little, but then noticed shadows in Gwen's backyard.
Phoenix (6:09:32 PM): Phoenix looked at him. "What is it?"
Caiden (6:11:15 PM): Caiden nodded towards the backyard where you could barely make out the outline of Reese and Gwen scampering over to the pool house.
Phoenix (6:14:49 PM): Cocking his head a bit, Phoenix rose both brows. "What in the hell...?"
Caiden (6:15:49 PM): "I don't know if I want to know."
Phoenix (6:17:58 PM): "Yeah, neither do I."
Caiden (6:19:08 PM): "Maybe we should go back in... wait for your parents and all that.
Phoenix (6:23:34 PM): "Okay...sounds good to me."
Caiden (6:25:58 PM): Caiden let him get up first before following suit.
Phoenix (6:27:40 PM): Phoenix took his hand and led him back into the house.
Caiden (6:33:18 PM): Following behind him, quietly, he moved up the stairs to Phoenix's room and wiated for Phoenix to follow.
Phoenix (6:47:29 PM): And he did once he shut and locked the back door.
Caiden (6:58:33 PM): He sat on Phoenix's bed and waited for him to appear in the doorway.
Phoenix (7:01:33 PM): Phoenix came into the room and stood there for a moment.
Caiden (7:17:53 PM): Caiden tapped his feet on the ground a little and looked at him.
Phoenix (7:20:55 PM): "What is it?"
Caiden (7:24:28 PM): "i was just thinking about how you were just my best friend two months ago."
Phoenix (7:25:37 PM): He cocked his head to the side. "Yeah...funny how things change, isn't it?
Caiden (7:27:29 PM): "I was thinking crazy."
Phoenix (7:30:55 PM): "Mmm alright, that too."
Phoenix is away at 8:12:21 PM.
Phoenix returned at 8:42:20 PM.
Caiden (8:48:05 PM): Caiden put his hands on his knees a moment. "What do you think they'll say?"
Phoenix (8:50:41 PM): "I don't even wanna think of what they'll say because I'll probably be wrong."
Caiden (8:50:54 PM): Biting his lip. "Take a shot."
Phoenix (8:58:36 PM): He shrugged a little. "I'm sure they'll be shocked and all...they might yell. But well, I think they'll be accepting."
Caiden (9:16:26 PM): A soft nod and he reached forward to touching at Phoenix's hips.
Phoenix (9:17:20 PM): Phoenix touched his hands over Caiden's and gave him a little smile.
Caiden (9:18:06 PM): He put his head against his stomach and sighed. "I don't want to think about my parent's."
Phoenix (9:20:29 PM): Making a face, Phoenix stroked over his hair. "Yeah...neither do I."
Caiden (9:27:36 PM): He closed his eyes for the moment.
Phoenix (9:28:18 PM): Leaning down just a bit, he kissed the top of his head. "No matter how they react, I'm here to take care of you."
Caiden (9:29:08 PM): "What if you can't?"
Phoenix (9:30:33 PM): "Don't say that, Cai. It's my kid too. Of course I'm going to be helping you."
Caiden (9:31:46 PM): Caiden looked up at him for a moment before sitting back.
Phoenix (9:33:08 PM): "Cai...c'mon, don't get like this."
Caiden (9:41:05 PM): "What if they take me away from you? I mean... what if they don't things work out?'
Phoenix (9:42:19 PM): Phoenix pressed his lips together. "I won't let that happen. I don't know what I'll do, but it won't happen."
Caiden (9:46:08 PM): That answer only made him feel slightly comforted.
Phoenix (9:47:12 PM): Kneeling down in front of him, Phoenix took his hands. "You and I are gonna make it."
Caiden (9:52:31 PM): A small frown touched his lips. "I don't doubt us. I'm scared of them."
Phoenix (9:54:06 PM): "I am too, Cai. But they'll keep you away from me over my dead body."
Caiden (9:59:52 PM): He closed his eyes a moment and took a breath. "And what about Reese?"
Phoenix (10:01:20 PM): "They won't hurt him, Cai. Don't let them use that against you."
Caiden (10:03:01 PM): "They won't hurt him? They already do that."

Phoenix (4:59:47 PM): He cringed a little. "Alright...I don't know what to say, obviously."
Caiden (5:18:07 PM): Caiden touched his own knees and sighed.
Phoenix (5:22:20 PM): He bowed his head, chewing at his lip as he heard the door open and close downstairs and his parent's voices drifted up to him.
Caiden (5:44:21 PM): A soft sigh and he didn't want to budge.
Phoenix (5:50:52 PM): "Well...we can either do it now or later."
Caiden (6:40:09 PM): Swallowing a little, he looked up at him. "Alright."
Phoenix (6:42:41 PM): "You sure you're ready?"
Caiden (6:46:45 PM): "no," quietly.
Phoenix (6:51:40 PM): "Okay...we can wait a bit."
Caiden (7:08:44 PM): Caiden dangled his legs from the bed, looking at him.
Phoenix (7:12:46 PM): Phoenix sat down in front of him, head against his lap/
Caiden (7:18:51 PM): His hands went to Phoenix's hair, touching the back of his neck with one and the back of his head with the other.
Phoenix (7:22:39 PM): He sighed and wrapped his arms around Caiden's waist.
Caiden (7:39:48 PM): Bending down a little, he put his cheek on Phoenix's head and closed his eyes.
Phoenix (7:45:47 PM): Phoenix held him tightly, not wanting to move. Not wanting to go see his parents.
Caiden (7:48:16 PM): He could feel how worried Phoenix was the way he squeezed him and nudged his lips to his forehead.
Phoenix (7:49:38 PM): "I don't want them to resent us..."
Caiden (7:51:59 PM): "I'm scared I'm going to disappoint them... I mean... I never thought I would do that. It means a lot... what they think and everything."
Phoenix (8:17:38 PM): Phoenix looked up at him. "I know, Cai. I know..."
Caiden (8:26:39 PM): Chewing his lip a moment, he looked back.
Phoenix (8:27:15 PM): Taking a breath, he glanced at the door.
Caiden (8:35:36 PM): "Should we go?" quietly
Phoenix (8:37:51 PM): "Yeah...I think we should."
Caiden (8:40:10 PM): Caiden didn't move, though, other than to sit back a little.
Phoenix (8:46:19 PM): "Or...not."
Caiden (8:49:28 PM): "Give me a second..."
Phoenix (8:53:04 PM): Phoenix rested his hands on his knees and just looked at him.
Caiden (8:57:54 PM): Caiden got up, quietly, and touched Phoenix's hand.
Phoenix (8:58:09 PM): Phoenix stood and hugged him for a moment. "Whatever happens, we'll get through it."
Caiden (8:59:49 PM): He kept ahold of his one hand, leaning against him a moment.
Phoenix (9:01:58 PM): Leading him out of the room, he made his way downstairs. "Mum...Dad? Can you two come in here for a moment?"
Caiden (9:02:47 PM): His fingers wiggled in Phoenix's hand, clinging.
Phoenix (9:07:30 PM): When he came into the livingroom and sat down with Caiden on the couch, he gulped when his parents came into the room.
Caiden (9:09:04 PM): Caiden put their arms close together, gripping.
Phoenix (9:10:15 PM): "Okay...so...well...er..."He looked from his mum to his dad and bit his lip hard.
Caiden (9:11:24 PM): When Phoenix started to mumble, Caiden only got more scared and looked at the floor.
Phoenix (9:15:05 PM): He took a deep breath and then it just flew out. "Caiden's pregnant."
Caiden (9:17:51 PM): He grabbed Phoenix's hand tighter.

Phoenix (1:08:43 AM): His mum blinked a bit and looked at his dad whose mouth had fallen open. "Excuse me...? Did you just say he's pregnant?!"
Caiden (1:09:29 AM): Shifting a little in his spot, he swallowed and his eyes felt wet already.
Phoenix (1:11:26 AM): Phoenix nodded a bit and looked at them, unsure. "I-Ican't...he's pregnant....he's..."she trailed off, looking at her husband and he just stared back.
Caiden (1:12:52 AM): "Yes, I'm pregnant," in an almost annoyed and saddened way.
Phoenix (1:15:31 AM): Mrs. James controlled herself for a moment and then looked at Caiden. "Come here."
Caiden (1:17:51 AM): Caiden had gripped Phoenix's hand so hard his fingers were white and he looked at her a moment, not sure.
Phoenix (1:19:45 AM): Phoenix grimaced a bit. "Cai, love, I'd like circulation in my hand."
Caiden (1:21:27 AM): He looked at him a moment and let go, embarassed he'd said anything, and got up very slowly.
Phoenix (1:23:41 AM): Mrs. James watched him carefully, her arms outstretched.
Caiden (1:24:18 AM): He came over to her, standing there and a bit unsure.
Phoenix (1:24:48 AM): She took his hands for a moment and then gently touched one hand to his stomach, her eyes filling with tears.
Caiden (1:28:34 AM): This made him move from one foot to the other a little. Only Gwen and Phoenix had done that...and he still felt so weird about it.
Phoenix (1:29:32 AM): Looking up at him, the tears fell down her cheeks. "Oh come here, you beautiful boy."
Caiden (1:32:00 AM): Caiden stepped closer to her, very lightly lifting his arms.
Phoenix (1:33:48 AM): She enveloped him in a hug, kissing the side of his head. "I'm gonna take such good care of you,"she whispered.
Caiden (1:34:58 AM): He wanted to crumple right there. He would never hear his own parents say something like that to him... and it only reminded him of what they would say. "Your son promised me that too," quietly.
Phoenix (1:38:27 AM): "Of course he did. He knows better." She gave him a gentle squeeze then flashed a tearful s mile.
Caiden (1:40:20 AM): When she pulled away, Caiden glanced at Phoenix a little and at Avery.
Phoenix (1:41:35 AM): Mr. James cocked his head for a moment. "You realize this means you're going to have to eat more and take care of yourself, right? No sports."
Caiden (1:42:38 AM): Caiden nodded, not really able to speak when his dad did.
Phoenix (1:45:48 AM): He winked at him. "I'll expect you to come in for regular checkups, understood?"
Caiden (1:47:51 AM): He hadn't even thought about it and closed his mouth, a worried look on his face.
Phoenix (1:51:30 AM): His dad touched his hand. "Don't you look like that. It'll be figured out."
Caiden (1:54:49 AM): "But..." he knew how expensive this would all be... the checkups... going through the actual procedure when the baby was ready to come.
Phoenix (1:58:18 AM): Mr. James shook his head. "You're bringing our grandchild into the world. Don't you worry about a damn thing."
Phoenix (1:58:23 AM): *except that*
Caiden (2:04:02 AM): He looked at Phoenix again. "I'll pay you back," knowing it would be next to impossible.
Phoenix (2:04:39 AM): Phoenix rose a brow and just shrugged, trying to contain a smile. "So, this mean you two are gonna get married?" Mrs. James asked, but you could tell she was joking to keep the mood light.
Caiden (2:09:21 AM): Caiden flushed a little, kind of uncomfortable and relieved too.
Phoenix (2:10:38 AM): "Mum!"
"What? I was only joking. One step at a time."
Caiden (2:11:56 AM): Stepping back a little towards phoenix, he sat down.
Phoenix (2:12:30 AM): Phoenix wrapped an arm around him and gave him a little squeeze.
"Well, I think I'm going to make us a little celebratory dessert. You two stay in here."
Caiden (2:13:01 AM): He watched them leave and, when they did, let out a long breath.
Phoenix (2:13:44 AM): Glancing over at him, he gave Caiden a tiny smile. "Well, that went way better than I thought."
Caiden (2:14:29 AM): He put his hands on his cheeks and then over his eyes.
Phoenix (2:14:56 AM): "You all right?"
Caiden (2:16:18 AM): Nodding, he sniffed a moment and brought his hands back.
Phoenix (2:16:53 AM): Phoenix touched his back, rubbing a little.
Caiden (2:20:26 AM): Caiden took in a deep breath that could be felt against Phoenix's hand and shook a big.
Caiden (2:20:29 AM): bit-
Phoenix (2:21:41 AM): "Oh Cai..."He cradled him in his arms, kissing the top of his head.
Caiden (2:22:19 AM): He hooked onto him and closed his eyes, tears on his cheek.
Phoenix (2:22:40 AM): Phoenix rocked him a bit, singing softly in his ear.
Caiden (2:25:48 AM): It comforted him in a way he could never explain to hear what they had said... to not be yelled at for getting pregnant so young... and to be offered something as big as they just had to him.
Phoenix (2:26:55 AM): "I told you things would turn out okay. They love us, Cai. You'll be fine."
Caiden (2:27:35 AM): He buried his head more, nudging a little and nodding
Phoenix (2:28:27 AM): Phoenix rubbed up and down his back, then lifted his chin and gave him a gentle kiss.
Caiden (2:28:59 AM): Caide kissed him for a moment, mouths closed and soft.
Phoenix (2:29:30 AM): He had cupped his cheeks, kissing him with love and tenderness.
Caiden (2:31:54 AM): Pulling back a little, he tilted his head down and pressed forehead to forehead.
Phoenix (2:32:21 AM): Phoenix smiled at him a bit. "I love you, Caiden"
Caiden (2:32:55 AM): "I love you too," lifting his eyes.

Phoenix (3:46:54 PM): He stroked over his cheeks and rubbed down his back.
Caiden (3:55:46 PM): Caiden smiled just a little, in a sad sort of way, and moved to lay his head on Phoenix's shoulder.
Phoenix (3:56:44 PM): Stroking over Caiden's hair, he wanted nothing more than to comfort him.
Caiden (3:59:33 PM): Caiden laid against him just for a moment, feeling better about things.
Phoenix (3:59:54 PM): Phoenix looked down at him, determined in his mind that he would keep him safe.
Caiden (4:01:04 PM): He knew it was asking too much too fast but, "What about when it happens... I mean..." the living arrangements.
Phoenix (4:04:19 PM): Glancing down at him, Phoenix smiled. "We'll get a place nearby. Nothing too fancy. Enough for you and me and the baby."
Caiden (4:06:41 PM): Caiden looked up at him a little, completly not expecting that much.
Phoenix (4:07:11 PM): "It'll be best. Mum and Dad are going to do their share but they don't need to worry about waking up to a screaming baby in the middle of the night.
Caiden (4:07:38 PM): "Of course..." quietly.
Phoenix (4:08:48 PM): He cupped both of his cheeks. "We can do this, Cai."
Caiden (4:12:30 PM): Caiden leaned his head against one of Phoenix's hands and nodded a little.
Phoenix (4:20:26 PM): He winked at him just as his mum yelled from the kitchen. "c'mon in here, you two."
Caiden (4:21:02 PM): He let Phoenix get up first before following behind.
Phoenix (4:21:22 PM): Phoenix grabbed his hand, leading him into the room. "Oh man, Cai. It's strawberry shortcake.
Caiden (4:21:51 PM): He peeked around his arm and smiled a little.
Phoenix (4:22:26 PM): Setting the plates out at the table, his mum gestured for them to sit down.
Caiden (4:22:42 PM): Caiden sat down where he did most times he ate over.
Phoenix (4:23:19 PM): Phoenix sat beside him, grinning at the concoction in front of him.
Caiden (4:24:17 PM): He'd already picked a fork up and was poking at strawberries
Phoenix (4:25:16 PM): Thanking his mum, he dug into the dessert.
Caiden (4:25:39 PM): Caiden thanked her to, but mid chewing.
Phoenix (4:28:18 PM): She laughed a bit, giving him a wink.

Caiden (4:27:35 PM): He smiled and ate his food, leaning against Phoenix a little.
Phoenix (4:28:23 PM): Phoenix stroked his leg under the table while eating his dessert, getting whipped cream on the tip of his nose.
Caiden (4:28:45 PM): Caiden peeked at him when he touched his leg and laughed at the white stuff.
Phoenix (4:30:23 PM): "What?" Phoenix looked at him a little oddly.
Caiden (4:39:32 PM): "You have stuff on your nose."
Phoenix (4:43:49 PM): Phoenix pawed at his nose, missing the whipped cream entirely.
Caiden (4:48:17 PM): Laughing a little, he poked his strawberries.
Phoenix (4:48:30 PM): "Aww, c'mon, you're no help."
Caiden (4:52:38 PM): Caiden put his fork down and touched Phoenix's cheek to pull him to face him. Swiping his thumb there, he wiped it off.
Phoenix (4:53:50 PM): "Thank you."He grinned.
Caiden (4:54:20 PM): He licked his thumb absently and let him go to get back to eating his food.
Phoenix (4:57:01 PM): Phoenix was aware of his parents watching them a bit even though they were trying to hide it.
Caiden (5:21:06 PM): Caiden smiled a little to himself, completly entranced with the comfort food.
Phoenix (5:38:09 PM): "Well, your dad and I are gonna go over to the neighbor's house for a bit. We'll leave you two to your dessert."
Caiden (5:41:19 PM): Caiden blushed a little and didn't say anything to that.
Phoenix (5:43:51 PM): Phoenix watched his parents go and then looked over at Caiden. "Why did she make it sound so dirty?"
Caiden (5:46:10 PM): He laid his head on the table with a small thud sound. "I don't know."
Phoenix (5:49:38 PM): Laughing a bit, Phoenix sat back. "She has that ability, I guess."
Caiden (5:56:31 PM): "Well, its obvious now that we aren't exactly... celabit."
Phoenix (5:57:07 PM): Phoenix snorted. "What d'ya mean? I'm a virgin."
Caiden (5:59:19 PM): Caiden huffed a little and set his fork down. "Don't you mean I'm virgin? I haven't fucked anything."
Caiden (6:00:40 PM): [so confusing when he can get pregnant]
Phoenix (6:02:14 PM): Phoenix laughed into his hand. "That doesn't count. You have sex you lose your virginity. Don't matter whose doing the fucking."
Caiden (6:03:32 PM): "Then you're about as virgin as my mouth."
Phoenix (6:06:21 PM): He almost fell over, laughing as hard as he was. "Yeah...nevermind then."
Caiden (6:08:29 PM): Caiden was done with his plate and got up to put it in the sink.
Phoenix (6:18:17 PM): He sighed, rubbing his stomach. "So you sorta happy now?"
Caiden (6:19:42 PM): "Sort of."
Phoenix (6:23:59 PM): He picked up the last bit of the shortcake, popping it into his mouth and smiled at him a little as he got up to go to the sink.
Caiden (6:34:27 PM): Caiden dropped his plate and silverware into the dishwasher.
Phoenix (6:35:31 PM): Phoenix came up behind him and kissed the side of his neck.
Caiden (6:50:16 PM): He took Phoenix's things, too, and put them in.
Phoenix (7:02:35 PM): Nuzzling his lips there, he rested his hands on Caiden's stomach.
Caiden (7:05:41 PM): "so we're alone for awhile.." softly.
Phoenix (7:09:04 PM): "Mm yep we are."
Caiden (7:10:26 PM): Caiden leaned into him and let him hold him.
Phoenix (7:11:40 PM): Phoenix kissed up his neck and then rested his chin on the top of his head. "You are the perfect height."
Caiden (7:17:46 PM): "Says you."
Phoenix (7:19:35 PM): "You are. You fit right in my arms."
Caiden (7:19:59 PM): "Yeah, but I'm about to gain a whole lot of weight."
Phoenix (7:24:47 PM): Phoenix laughed. "Good thing I'm not carrying you around."
Caiden (7:29:55 PM): "You can now."
Phoenix (7:33:04 PM): He grinned and ducked one arm down under Caiden's legs, scooping him up. "Well look at that, I can."
Caiden (7:36:33 PM): Caiden grinned, happy about it, and looked at him.
Phoenix (7:36:57 PM): "But where should I take you?"
Caiden (7:37:38 PM): "i like your bedroom."
Phoenix (7:39:51 PM): "Ah, really now? Alright then." Phoenix made his way out of the kitchen and up to his bedroom.
Caiden (7:57:57 PM): Caiden smiled and put his head on Phoenix's chest, "Don't drop me," grinning.
Phoenix (7:59:27 PM): "I won't drop you." He laughed, carrying him up the stairs.
Caiden (8:11:45 PM): He tucked his legs in a little as they went up the stairs.
Phoenix (8:13:08 PM): Taking him to his bedroom, he set him down on the edge of the bed.
Caiden (8:13:55 PM): Caiden didn't exactly want to be set down, but he let him anyways.
Phoenix (8:16:20 PM): Phoenix went and turned on the radio and then came back over to him.
Caiden (8:17:50 PM): He had flopped back into the pillows and smiling.
Phoenix (8:18:36 PM): Moving up to lay beside him, he put a hand on his stomach.
Caiden (8:34:45 PM): Caiden lifted his head to look up at him, touching his hand.
Phoenix (8:36:36 PM): He stroked up and down the small bump.
Caiden (9:06:16 PM): He hummed a little and sank down close to him.
Phoenix (9:09:08 PM): "This baby really is gonna be loved."
Caiden (9:09:48 PM): "By us, anyways," softly.
Phoenix (9:13:10 PM): "Well...yeah, us and my family, and Reese and Gwen and her family."
Caiden (9:16:12 PM): Caiden nodded at that, "Yeah."
Phoenix (9:17:00 PM): "So don't worry about it right now. Things are okay for the moment."
Caiden (9:24:30 PM): "I know," is voice soft.
Phoenix (9:26:12 PM): Phoenix laid on his side, leaning over and kissing Caiden's temple.
Phoenix signed off at 10:07:20 PM.

Caiden (12:57:07 AM): A faint smile spread over his lips and up into the faint laugh lines he had.
Phoenix (1:04:15 AM): He nuzzled his lips there with a little smile.
Caiden (2:29:55 AM): Caiden felt a bit droopy as he laid there, his whole body tucked against Phoenix.
Phoenix (2:30:18 AM): Phoenix gently lifted his shirt a little, stroking over his bare stomach.
Caiden (2:31:33 AM): "You like to do that even more now."
Phoenix (2:32:01 AM): "Yeah, well it's cute."
Caiden (2:35:45 AM): "Its my stomach," smirking.
Phoenix (2:36:05 AM): "Yeah...so?"
Caiden (2:36:28 AM): "Thers no bump. I think you're imagining things," grinning at him.
Phoenix (2:36:51 AM): Phoenix pouted. "Is tooo."
Caiden (2:37:31 AM): "Thats my pudge.
Phoenix (2:38:06 AM): "It is not. I know the difference."
Caiden (2:39:20 AM): "You spend a lot of time examing my stomach, huh?"
Phoenix (2:39:41 AM): Phoenix nodded proudly. "It's all rounded. It is a bump."
Caiden (2:40:03 AM): "A one month bump?'
Phoenix (2:40:38 AM): He narrowed his eyes a bit. "Yes, it's there. Tiny but it's there."
Caiden (2:41:00 AM): Caiden grinned at this and touched Phoenix's hand.
Phoenix (2:41:17 AM): He cupped over his stomach. "I told you so."
Caiden (2:43:33 AM): "Mm... if you say so, its a bump."
Phoenix (2:43:59 AM): "I do say so." He grinned wide and nuzzled Caiden's neck again.

Caiden (12:33:47 AM): "Are we going to sleep?" softly.
Phoenix (12:34:05 AM): "I guess so?" Phoenix shrugged a little, looking down at him.
Caiden (12:34:23 AM): "Mm... I'm not that tired."
Phoenix (12:35:18 AM): Phoenix nodded a little, thumbing over Caiden's stomach. "well then, don't sleep."
Caiden (12:44:58 AM): "Can we watch a movie?"
Phoenix (12:45:49 AM): "Sure. What're you up for?"
Caiden (12:48:23 AM): "Anything..." cuddling up to him for a moment.
Phoenix (12:49:25 AM): Phoenix gave him a gentle little squeeze. "Hmm...how about a comedy?
Caiden (12:49:59 AM): "Sure..." nodding a little bit and smiling.
Phoenix (12:52:49 AM): Pecking his forehead, he got up and rifled through his movie collection.
Caiden (12:56:30 AM): Caiden pushed himself to sit up and yawned a little.
Phoenix (12:58:05 AM): He put in Wayne's World? (Yeah, whatever) and sat back on the bed again.
Caiden (12:58:54 AM): Sitting back against Phoenix, he tucked himself so he was slouched down but laying back against him.
Phoenix (1:01:01 AM): Phoenix wrapped his arms around him, stroking his hands.
Caiden (1:03:25 AM): He quietly wished his house was this comfortable... this safe and content. Smiling a little at the thought of living in a place even remotely like it, he put his head back.
Phoenix (1:04:22 AM): Resting his chin on Caiden's forehead, he tapped his fingers and then paid attention to the movie.
Caiden (1:24:43 AM): "I love you..." touching the backs of his hands.
Phoenix (1:25:51 AM): "I love you too, my cute little preggers boytoy."
Caiden (1:31:28 AM): "not a toy."
Phoenix (1:32:20 AM): "I was only joking, love."
Caiden (1:34:44 AM): "Mmm..." his head against Phoenixs left shoulder.
Phoenix (1:38:30 AM): He kissed his temple with a grin on his face.
Caiden (1:44:50 AM): He fell asleep against Phoenix like that, without a word.
Phoenix (1:45:38 AM): After a while of silence, Phoenix looked down and almost laughed. He turned off the tv, maneuvering Caiden a bit and laying down with him.
Caiden (1:46:59 AM): A little noise left him when they moved, deadweight.
Phoenix (1:50:51 AM): He pulled up the blankets and curled up against his back.
Caiden (1:55:03 AM): He stayed asleep like that, breathing softly and his back rising against Phoenix's chest.
Phoenix (1:56:53 AM): Phoenix watched him as he slept until sleep overcame him too and he drifted off.
Caiden (1:58:21 AM): Waking up long before Phoenix, he wandered over and sat in a chair at the corner of the room.
Phoenix (2:01:54 AM): Making a noise of discontent in his sleep, he stretched out more.
Caiden (2:02:22 AM): His legs were pulled up and he was quietly chewing on the tip of his thumb.
Phoenix (2:02:49 AM): Crinkling up his nose when he felt Caiden no longer next to him, he blinked his eyes open.
Caiden (2:04:02 AM): He was so paranoid. What if it was twins? Or what if something happened? And his parents... that was the biggest problem. Looking out the window, he tried not to cry out of worry.
Phoenix (2:06:33 AM): Phoenix sat up after a minute, scratching the top of his head.
Caiden (2:07:37 AM): Caiden heard him and looked over, his lips turning up into a faint grin.
Phoenix (2:11:05 AM): "Hey...you left the bed."
Caiden (2:19:52 AM): "Yeah... sorry... I need to move."
Phoenix (2:22:56 AM): Phoenix nodded, stretching out again and falling back once more onto the bed with a huff.
Caiden (2:24:59 AM): "Sleep good?"
Phoenix (2:25:53 AM): "Yeah, I had this warm body against mine all night."
Caiden (2:26:50 AM): He smiled at that, too, "Oh?"
Phoenix (2:27:12 AM): Phoenix nodded. "He was really nice to cuddle with."
Caiden (2:28:54 AM): Slipping off the small chair, he came over and settled in front of Phoenix. "Like this?"
Phoenix (2:30:02 AM): "Mhm. Wouldn't you know it, it was exactly like this."

Caiden (3:02:35 PM): Arching a little as he stretched himself out, he found Phoenix's feet and touched them with his own.
Phoenix (3:04:39 PM): Phoenix trapped one of Caiden's feet between his and smirked.
Caiden (3:26:14 PM): "Morning, by the way..." lightly.
Phoenix (3:39:19 PM): "Mmm morning to you too." He nuzzled his neck.
Caiden (3:56:45 PM): Caiden grinned and tilted his hea dmore.
Phoenix (4:01:15 PM): "You taste good first thing in the morning, Caiden." He smiled and licked under his ear.
Caiden (4:02:04 PM): "Like sleep?"
Phoenix (4:04:38 PM): "Nah, like Caiden."
Caiden (4:11:00 PM): "Mm... I don't know what that tastes like."
Phoenix (4:11:44 PM): "Well of course you don't. You don't normally lick yourself, do you?"
Caiden (4:13:47 PM): "Never..." touching back at Phoenix's side.
Phoenix (4:14:36 PM): Phoenix chuckled. "I'd be a bit worried."
Caiden (4:16:54 PM): "Mm... well I know how my lips taste," joking.
Phoenix (4:18:12 PM): He laughed harder and buried his face in Caiden's neck. "That doesn't count."
Caiden (4:25:44 PM): "It counts a little."
Phoenix (4:26:24 PM): "Okay...maybe a little."
Caiden (4:30:14 PM): Turning around a little, he looked at him and hugged him clsoe.
Phoenix (4:31:17 PM): "I really do enjoy cuddling you."
Caiden (4:33:48 PM): Caiden kissed his cheek a little. "Me too."
Phoenix (4:34:12 PM): Phoenix wrapped a leg over Caiden's and nudged their cheeks together.
Caiden (4:43:22 PM): "i'm hungry," absentmindedly.
Phoenix (4:44:36 PM): "Oh you are, huh? Alright."
Caiden (4:54:08 PM): "It's because I know you 'ave good food... maybe waffles..." looking at him. "Maybe waffles AND bacon."
Phoenix (4:55:46 PM): Phoenix laughed. "As a matter of fact, I have both."
Caiden (4:56:36 PM): "and a lot of maragine."
Caiden (4:56:42 PM): margarine-
Phoenix (4:57:05 PM): "Oh yes, lots and lots."
Phoenix is idle at 5:07:29 PM.
Phoenix is no longer idle at 5:17:28 PM.
Caiden (5:46:07 PM): "Mm... lets go..." grinning and slipping out of Phoenix's arms.
Phoenix (5:50:26 PM): Phoenix watched him go for a moment and then moved to get off the bed behind him.
Caiden (6:06:57 PM): Pulling on his pants from the night before, he opened Phoenix's door and headed off downstairs
Phoenix (6:10:09 PM): Scratching at his hip, Phoenix made his way down the stairs after Caiden.
Caiden (6:16:53 PM): Jumping off the last step, he made his way into the kitchen.
Phoenix (6:17:54 PM): "You gonna make this food yourself?"
Caiden (6:18:59 PM): "I know how to make food!"
Phoenix (6:20:17 PM): "I didn't say you didn't!"Phoenix laughed.
Caiden (6:21:14 PM): "Mm... but I'm nmot gonna."
Phoenix (6:25:02 PM): "Hey! Why do I gotta make it?"
Caiden (6:27:57 PM): "Pregnant."
Phoenix (6:30:07 PM): Phoenix opened his mouth and then closed it. "Ah, al right."
Caiden (6:31:06 PM): Caiden just giggled though and reached up on his tiptoes for batter.
Phoenix (6:31:31 PM): Coming up behind him, he wrapped his arms around him and kissed the back of his neck.
Caiden (6:35:46 PM): He almost dropped the box at that, grabbing it between his palms.
Phoenix (6:36:24 PM): "Sorry." He chuckled, even though he wasn't, backing away.
Caiden (6:37:58 PM): "I would make you clean it up anyways."
Phoenix (6:40:00 PM): Phoenix chuckled. "Thanks, Cai."
Caiden (6:41:50 PM): "You're welcome," nipping Phoenix's cheek.
Phoenix (6:44:27 PM): "Mmm feisty so early in the morning."
Caiden (6:50:58 PM): He touched his other cheek and went to find a bowl.
Phoenix (6:52:11 PM): Phoenix sat down at the counter, feet pulled up on the stool.
Caiden (6:58:52 PM): He set it all down on the counter by Phoenix.
Phoenix (7:02:29 PM): Shaking his head a little, Phoenix went about mixing up the batter.
Caiden (7:07:14 PM): Caiden brought him the water and things for it.
Phoenix (7:07:48 PM): "Thanks." Phoenix smirked at him and then went to the stove to start cooking them.
Caiden (7:25:47 PM): Pulling himself up on the stool. "I don't think your parents are home."
Phoenix (7:26:21 PM): "No, they're at work."
Caiden (7:27:14 PM): "Oh... yeah..." forgetting it was monday.
Phoenix (7:28:38 PM): "They won't be back till way later, if atall."
Caiden (7:33:39 PM): "Why not?"
Phoenix (7:38:00 PM): "Long shift. They're on call."
Caiden (7:40:03 PM): "Oh... okay..." playing with something on the counter.
Phoenix (7:40:59 PM): "I hate those nights. I get really bored."
Caiden (7:43:00 PM): He was quiet a moment. "I wish I could be here all the time."
Phoenix (7:46:47 PM): Phoenix looked over at him as he cooked. "So do I."
Caiden (8:00:37 PM): "Be more fun that way anyhow."
Phoenix (8:03:30 PM): "Yeah, among a lot of things."
Caiden (8:04:09 PM): Swinging his legs a little as he sat there, Caiden could think of a lot of 'other things'.
Phoenix (8:05:10 PM): Phoenix got some cooked and dished them out on a plate, working on the bacon too.
Caiden (8:05:48 PM): The only noise in the kitchen for now was the sound of the skillet and Caiden eating.
Phoenix (8:06:34 PM): He set some strips of bacon on Caiden's plate and then went back to cooking the rest.
Caiden (8:30:45 PM): He ate those, too, looking at Phoenix as he did.
Phoenix (8:32:10 PM): Phoenix finished making the food and came to the counter to eat.

Caiden (1:57:55 AM): Finishing his own plate, he got up and rinsed it off.
Phoenix (1:58:34 AM): "Damn, you ate all that already?"
Caiden (1:59:16 AM): "Yup," obvious that he was still chewing.
Phoenix (2:02:09 AM): Phoenix laughed. "Did you even chew it?"
Caiden (2:02:20 AM): Swallowing a bit. "Uh huh."
Phoenix (2:04:49 AM): He smirked and chewed a piece of bacon. "Mhm. Right."
Caiden (2:11:00 AM): Reaching over, he stole a piece of his bacon.
Phoenix (2:11:13 AM): "Hey! You just had five pieces."
Caiden (2:11:47 AM): "And know I've 'ad six," muffled.
Phoenix (2:13:17 AM): Phoenix reached over, ruffling his hair. "You smartass."
Caiden (2:14:07 AM): Caiden grinned, cheeks poofy.
Phoenix (2:18:19 AM): He leaned and pecked Caiden's sticky lips.
Caiden (2:33:30 AM): "Fanks," sitting up on the counter.
Phoenix (2:35:40 AM): Phoenix snorted and licked over his own lips before sitting back.
Caiden (2:47:58 AM): Swinging his legs, he waited for Phoenix to finish.
Phoenix (2:49:10 AM): He ate extra slow, knowing Caiden was antsy.
Caiden (2:51:04 AM): "You are so slow sometimes."
Caiden (2:51:59 AM): "And boring."
Phoenix (2:52:44 AM): Phoenix chewed deliberately slow, staring at Caiden with an arched brow.
Caiden (2:53:31 AM): "I'm going to go take a shower," slipping off the counter.
Phoenix (2:55:37 AM): "Hey, wait a minute." He popped one last piece of wafle in his mouth, came around the counter and snagged Caiden around the waist, lifting him up.
Caiden (2:59:31 AM): "You're ruining my shower," smirking.
Phoenix (3:02:03 AM): "No, I'm making it better by going into it with you."
Caiden (3:02:32 AM): "And who says thats better?" snuggling close.
Phoenix (3:03:15 AM): "I do." Phoenix carried him up the stairs to his bedroom and over to the bathroom.
Caiden (3:04:28 AM): "I changed my mind. I want a bath."
Phoenix (3:05:29 AM): "A bath, huh? Alright, anything foryou." He set Caiden down on the toilet and turned on the taps, filling up the tub.
Caiden (3:05:54 AM): Caiden put his feet up at the edge of the tub, waiting.
Phoenix (3:06:37 AM): Pouring in some bubbles, he began to strip.
Caiden (3:14:01 AM): He only had boxers and pants to lose, climbing in.
Phoenix (3:15:03 AM): Phoenix kicked out of his boxers and slipped in behind Caiden.
Caiden (3:22:03 AM): Toeing the water a little, he laid back and was quiet.
Phoenix (3:22:33 AM): He got a loofa and poured liquid soap on it, lathering it up and rubbing it over Caiden's back.

Caiden (1:45:10 PM): Smiling to himself, he leaned forward a bit.
Phoenix (1:46:52 PM): Dragging it over Caiden's wet skin, he washed down over his arms and around his sides.
Caiden (1:57:11 PM): Caiden giggled a little,moving to the side a little.
Phoenix (1:57:47 PM): Phoenix reached around and gently washed over Caiden's stomach.
Caiden (2:07:19 PM): The touched was soft enough to tickle a little and he giggled a little again.
Phoenix (2:12:57 PM): "Are you that sensitive, huh?" Phoenix grinned and ran the loofa down over Caiden's thighs.
Caiden (2:19:59 PM): "I always am."
Phoenix (2:22:41 PM): A laugh and he ran his hands down Caiden's inner thighs.
Caiden (2:25:29 PM): "are you still cleaning or are you groping?"
Phoenix (2:31:14 PM): "Oh a nice little in between mix."
Caiden (2:35:13 PM): "Mm..." snuggling back againsthim.
Phoenix (2:41:37 PM): He rested his hands on Caiden's lower stomach, chin on top of his head.
Caiden (3:23:19 PM): "I'm sleepy again," the food making him yawna bit.
Phoenix (3:23:50 PM): A laugh and he started dripping water over him. "Don't fall asleep in the tub."
Caiden (3:24:35 PM): "Mm... it's okay... you won't let me drown."
Phoenix (3:26:25 PM): Phoenix smiled down at him. "Of course not."
Caiden (3:46:56 PM): Caiden touched Phoenix's arm, stroking over the skin with his fingers.
Phoenix (3:52:58 PM): He cupped some water, letting it drain down over Caiden's head.
Caiden (4:04:55 PM): tilting his head back at that, he kept his eyes closed
Phoenix (4:07:10 PM): Phoenix kissed his forehead and ran his fingers through his hair.
Caiden (4:28:37 PM): "i feel better that your parents know..."
Phoenix (4:30:01 PM): "Yeah, so do I." Phoenix stroked his hair lightly.
Caiden (4:43:28 PM): "I have to tell them soon."
Phoenix (4:44:57 PM): Phoenix frowned a little. "I know.'
Caiden (4:55:49 PM): "Maybe tonight... or otmmorow."
Phoenix (4:57:04 PM): "Do you want me there with you?"
Caiden (4:58:19 PM): "I don't know... that might get them more pissed off."
Phoenix (4:58:49 PM): "Right. Okay..."
Caiden (4:59:50 PM): "What do you think...?" quietly looking back at him.
Phoenix (5:10:24 PM): Phoenix paused. "I think your dad would probably go apeshit on me."
Caiden (5:11:39 PM): "Maybe they'll be happy... they'll have an excuse to kick me out."
Phoenix (5:13:04 PM): He looked at him with a quirked eyebrow. "Yeah right, it's just another thing to hold over your head and you know it."
Caiden (5:23:49 PM): Sighing a little bit, he touched Phoenix's leg and nodded.
Phoenix (5:26:06 PM): Kissing his temple, he reached up and flipped the tap.
Caiden (5:51:48 PM): Wiggling his toes under the hot water, he stuck to Phoenix where their skin touched above water.
Phoenix (5:59:22 PM): "You wanna get out?"
Caiden (6:04:09 PM): "Yeah... sure," lightly sitting up.
Phoenix (6:11:56 PM): Phoenix stood up slowly and grabbed for some towels, patting himself off b efore stepping out and wrapping it around his waist. Then he waited for Caiden, holding a towel out to him.
Caiden (6:13:02 PM): Getting out dripping, he wrapped it around him and headed into Phoenix's room.
Phoenix (6:14:15 PM): Phoenix ruffled his hair and made his way after him.
Caiden (6:17:51 PM): Taking the towel off, he wiped downa bit and ruffled his short haier.
Phoenix (6:21:44 PM): FAlling over onto his bed, he watched him a moment.
Caiden (6:24:57 PM): Dropping the towel down, little beads of water on his shoulder where he didn't get, he crawled up on the bed naked with his hair flat on his forehead.
Phoenix (6:27:22 PM): Phoenix grabbed him and kissed over his shoulder, licking the water from his skin.
Caiden (6:29:11 PM): Curling up, he laughed and touched against him, skin bare.
Phoenix (6:29:47 PM): "Mm freshly cleaned Caiden. Nice. Very nice.'
Caiden (6:30:01 PM): "Still taste the same?"
Phoenix (6:32:09 PM): "Yep. Just more like soap."
Caiden (6:43:13 PM): He curved his ass into Phoenix's lap, smiling.
Phoenix (6:50:17 PM): "Tempting me..."
Caiden (6:57:01 PM): "Mm... you know what a plus side of this is?"
Phoenix (6:57:27 PM): "Hmm?"
Caiden (7:03:28 PM): "This gives me about 8 months of condom free sex...."
Phoenix (7:07:01 PM): Phoenix laughed into Caiden's shoulders. "Always thinking of the plusside."
Caiden (7:12:45 PM): "Well it is a pretty big plus... i missed that."
Phoenix (7:14:08 PM): He grinned. "IT was nice."
Caiden (7:15:14 PM): "I don't think I'd want to wear one."
Phoenix (7:16:00 PM): Phoenix snorted. "Well when you fuck me you will be."
Caiden (7:17:47 PM): "Well, yeah... when..." softly.
Phoenix (7:20:23 PM): He smirked. "Which could be now, if you wanted. But then again, you did say you were tired."
Caiden (7:21:32 PM): "Mm... more like content. You did feed me two waffles and 6 pieces of bacon."
Phoenix (7:22:13 PM): "I didn't feed you t he sixth piece. You took it from me." He laughed.
Caiden (7:27:27 PM): "Same thing," grinning.
Phoenix (7:29:11 PM): "Is not." He laughed harder, nipping Caiden's shoulder.

Caiden (12:21:58 AM): Caiden spread his legs and wrapped them back around Phoenix's, grinning.
Phoenix (12:23:26 AM): Phoenix shook his head a bit, amused and bucked up against Caiden.
Caiden (12:28:19 AM): He rose up off Phoenix and made a little noise, grinning.
Phoenix (12:32:04 AM): "Hey...no teasing."
Caiden (12:35:47 AM): "who's teasing?"
Phoenix (12:39:32 AM): Phoenix raised both of his b rows. "Hmm...well then..."He reached down and undid his towel.
Caiden (1:00:45 AM): Caiden moved a little so Phoenix could get his towel off, naked already himself.
Phoenix (1:03:13 AM): When their skin rubbed together, he let out a soft sigh.
Caiden (1:06:51 AM): Settling back against him, he laid there and smiled.
Phoenix (1:10:01 AM): Phoenix rubbed down over Caiden's inner thighs, kissing the side of his neck.
Caiden (1:19:07 AM): Arching his back against him, sexily, he smiled and kept his legs open for Phoenix to roame.
Phoenix (1:20:27 AM): A shiver ran through him and he roamed his way upward, cupping Caiden a little gently.
Caiden (1:24:06 AM): A little moan left him already, arching into his palm.
Phoenix (1:26:15 AM): He slid his hand up the shaft and then down to the base, jerking in short spurts.
Caiden (1:37:59 AM): "Did you ever think you'd be jerking me off... and I'd be pregnant like this...?" quietly.
Phoenix (1:40:03 AM): "No...that thought had yet to cross my mind."
Caiden (1:40:17 AM): Caiden laughed a little. "Me neither."
Phoenix (1:43:56 AM): He pressed his face to Caiden's neck, kissing there and jerked up harder.
Caiden (1:51:37 AM): "Mmph..." almost a sound of protest mixed with pleasure.
Phoenix (1:54:56 AM): "You okay there?"
Caiden (1:57:06 AM): "Mmm... yeah.... feels good..." whispered.
Phoenix (2:18:22 AM): He grinned and stroked up to the tip, thumbing down on it
Caiden (2:25:19 AM): Caiden arched against him, his body twisting.
Phoenix (2:27:22 AM): He raked a nail lightly down the side and then jerked him f aster.
Caiden (2:32:45 AM): His skin crawled and he turned his head to kiss Phoenix's skin.
Phoenix (2:33:58 AM): He cupped his other hand under Caiden's sack, massaging it as he jerked him off.
Caiden (2:40:01 AM): Bending his arm back, he touched the side of Phoenix's head.
Phoenix (2:43:20 AM): Phoenix nudged his head against Caiden's hand and yanked up on his sack as he jerked him.
Caiden (2:54:15 AM): Rolling more against Phoenix, knocking him onto his back more, he rubbed his ass against him.
Phoenix (2:55:32 AM): Holding himself up a bit, he let go of Caiden's sack and reached around to grip himself, jerking so that the tip of his cock hit against Caiden's ass.
Caiden (2:58:21 AM): Licking his lips in anticipation, he held the position he was in and waited.
Phoenix (2:59:21 AM): Pressing himself in slowly, he gave a good thrust upward and slid in.
Caiden (3:00:10 AM): His fingers clenched and he whimpered right out, tightening hard over him.
Phoenix (3:00:43 AM): "Fuck,"Phoenix groaned, coming to a stand still for a moment before thrusting up hard.
Caiden (3:01:56 AM): Stomach spasming, he pushed up and down again.
Phoenix (3:03:53 AM): Phoenix rocked up into him, loving that feel of Caiden's tightness around him.
Caiden (3:09:16 AM): To balance on top of him better, Caiden moved to sit up a bit.
Phoenix (3:11:31 AM): He ran his hands up Caiden's sides and thrust up till his cock ached from the pressure.
Caiden (3:12:28 AM): Gripping the sheets, he bounced a bit there.
Phoenix (3:13:31 AM): Phoenix gripped his hips, hitting Caiden's prostate and pushing at it.
Caiden (3:26:17 AM): He made little noises... mostly soft grunts... and pushed down on him.
Phoenix (3:29:18 AM): "I love your noises." He grinned, rubbing at his legs and rotating his hips.
Caiden (3:31:35 AM): "Harder, then..."
Phoenix (3:36:38 AM): Phoenix smirked and slid out before slamming his hips upward, watching Caiden bounce slightly.
Caiden (3:38:18 AM): He slid down onto him when he pulled away, licking his lips.
Phoenix (3:39:46 AM): Groaning into the air, Phoenix closed his eyes and arched up into him.
Caiden (3:43:47 AM): Laying back against Phoenix, he rested there and let Phoenix's hips slap his skin
Phoenix (3:46:46 AM): He gripped Caiden's cock again, jerking at the same fast pace as he thrust.
Caiden (3:57:30 AM): Caiden lost balanced and was more on his side now, rolling his hips back.
Phoenix (3:58:13 AM): Phoenix touched a hand to his side and rocked harder, faster, grunting into the air.
Caiden (4:00:49 AM): "Fuck...." his muscles aching.
Phoenix (4:07:06 AM): He buried his face in the back of Caiden's neck, his stomach spasming as he spilled into him.
Caiden (4:12:01 AM): Phoenix came and he didn't. He'd been holding back and holding back...
Phoenix (4:12:47 AM): He hadn't felt Caiden come so he brought a shaky hand down to his cock, jerking in short spurts as he rode out his orgasm.
Caiden (4:16:50 AM): Shuddering, he rode his palm for almost a whole minute before releasing
Phoenix (4:17:34 AM): Feeling the cum dribble down his fingers, he smiled lazily and kissed Caiden's shoulder.
Caiden (4:17:52 AM): Breathing a little hard, chest rising and falling, he relaxed.
Phoenix (4:18:44 AM): "So how was that for relaxation?"
Caiden (4:26:34 AM): "I'm going to fall asleep on you..." his voice soft and almost intoxcated.
Phoenix (4:27:21 AM): Phoenix laughed a bit. "Well maybe I should slip out of you and we can cuddle under the blankets."

Caiden (4:06:08 PM): "Mm... maybe you should..."
Phoenix (4:08:39 PM): A nod and Phoenix slowly moved out of him, laying down on the bed.
Caiden (4:16:54 PM): Sighing a little, he touched the blanket and settled there.
Phoenix (4:19:46 PM): Phoenix ran a hand over Caiden's stomach, thumbing across the skin lightly.

Caiden (1:19:09 AM): "Mmm... Gwen's rooting for a girl..." softly, looking back at Phoenix a little. "I want a boy."
Phoenix (1:57:32 AM): "I don't care what it is. I just want it here already."
Caiden (1:58:35 AM): He laughed a little. "Impatient."
Phoenix (2:05:58 AM): Phoenix nodded and grinned. "You know it.'
Caiden (2:11:12 AM): A lazy smile and he stroked his hand over Phoenix's, bringing it close to his chest.
Phoenix (2:18:13 AM): He wiggled h is fingers a bit, his heart skipping a beat.
Caiden (2:22:36 AM): The smooth skin made him smile, putting his fingers through Phoenix's.
Phoenix (2:26:10 AM): Gripping Caiden's hand, he brough it up to kiss.
Caiden (2:38:18 AM): "You're so smooth," grinning.
Phoenix (2:39:45 AM): "I know...sometimes."
Caiden (2:40:09 AM): "What do you mean sometimes?" laughing.
Phoenix (2:45:51 AM): Phoenix shrugged. "I'm not all the time."
Caiden (2:48:41 AM): "You're not?" smirking.
Phoenix (2:51:30 AM): He stuck out his tongue. "No, hard as it is to believe."
Caiden (2:58:48 AM): "And when AREN'T you?"
Phoenix (3:02:17 AM): "When I'm sleeping." He smirked.
Caiden (3:04:23 AM): "That doesn't make any sense."
Phoenix (3:08:35 AM): He furrowed his b rows. "Huh? What do you mean?"
Caiden (3:10:26 AM): "I meant this," touching the back of Phoenix's hand.
Phoenix (3:14:47 AM): "Oh!" Phoenix laughed. "Thats totally not what I thought."
Caiden (3:15:19 AM): He giggled a little and stroked down the backs of his fingers.
Phoenix (3:18:32 AM): "Man I'm a blonde."
Caiden (3:19:44 AM): "No you're not," grinning
Phoenix (3:21:31 AM): "Oh really? Like I don't know that." Phoenix swatted his arm.
Caiden (3:26:49 AM): "Mm... your hairs look blonde sometimes when you shed," smirking.
Phoenix (3:31:14 AM): Phoenix raised his brows. "What?"
Caiden (3:32:17 AM): "If I plucked a hair out of your head right now. You have some blond eones."
Phoenix (3:33:51 AM): He looked surprised. "I do?"
Caiden (3:35:47 AM): "Uh huh."
Phoenix (3:40:10 AM): "Huh...well I never noticed."
Caiden (3:41:59 AM): "I did," grinning.
Phoenix (3:44:05 AM): "Of course you did, weirdo."
Caiden (3:46:00 AM): "Well I look at everything about you."
Phoenix (3:47:00 AM): Phoenix cocked his head to the side, smiling at Caiden. "The little things, huh?"
Caiden (3:47:18 AM): "Uh huh..." nodding.
Phoenix (3:50:25 AM): He smiled and pecked Caiden's lower lip.
Caiden (4:15:46 AM): "You have a birthmark between your legs, too."
Phoenix (4:16:59 AM): "I do?!" He laughed heartily.
Caiden (4:17:24 AM): "Right here," reaching down and parting his legs to point at a spot normal people don't see.
Phoenix (4:19:07 AM): Phoenix looked downward and chuckled. "Well then."
Caiden (4:40:22 AM): "You'd need a mirror to see it," grinning.
Phoenix (4:41:41 AM): "Ah, well then thank god I have you around to tell me it's there." He winked.
Caiden (5:10:02 AM): "Mm... yup... I'm here to tell you about all of the freckles."
Phoenix (5:12:16 AM): He laughed lightly kissing Caiden soft on the lips.

Caiden (4:56:51 PM): -SKIP-
Phoenix (4:56:56 PM): -OKAY-
Caiden (4:58:06 PM): Caiden had gone home for his work clothes, to shower, and to, unforunently, run into his parent's. He didn't say anything to them at all. He didn't tell them what was going on. He just tugged on everything quickly and knew the day would come that his mum or his dad would notice a nice sized pouch on him. Walking out the front door, he breathed a sigh of relief and started his walk to work in the Aussie summer heat.
Phoenix (5:00:46 PM): Phoenix had been designated to go out for groceries and he took the route he knew Caiden did when he walked to work, wondering if he'd catch him. It was in the high temps today and he couldn't let his pregnant boyfriend walk that far without feeling guilty.
Caiden (5:01:27 PM): He half wanted to hike up his pants... they were black and not exactly comfortable... but he trudged along and sighed, turning a corner.
Phoenix (5:08:01 PM): And he saw him, a grin lighting up his face. Pulling up beside him a bit, he rolled down his window. "Hey hot stuff, wanna ride?"
Caiden (5:08:33 PM): Caiden gave him the most miserably excited look a person could give and came over, slipping into the car and sticking his face against the air conditioning.
Phoenix (5:12:44 PM): Phoenix laughed a bit, turning it on high as he pulled back onto the road and rolled up his window.
Caiden (5:12:57 PM): Sighing a little, he sat back after a moment.
Phoenix (5:16:36 PM): "You okay? Want something to drink quick before you head in?"
Caiden (5:18:22 PM): "I'm okay... I'm just tired, it's hot, and I rushed to leave.
Phoenix (5:19:32 PM): Phoenix reached over, brushing hair from Caiden's cheek.
Caiden (5:20:24 PM): He smiled a little, the cool air of the car helping a lot.
Phoenix (5:22:01 PM): Driving down the road, he turned off towards the main strip, putting on some music.
Caiden (5:22:52 PM): Snuggling into the seat he was so familiar with, he was quiet and watching the roads.
Phoenix (5:24:00 PM): "You hungry?"
Caiden (5:24:39 PM): "Yeah, a little bit..." it was early as it was and he hadn't grabbed anything, not that he had much of options in his flat.
Phoenix (5:25:03 PM): "Well, tell me what you want and it's on me."
Caiden (5:25:46 PM): "A chicken pita..." smiling a little.r
Phoenix (5:30:18 PM): "Alright, pita it is." He turned into a local sub shop and parked.
Caiden (5:55:53 PM): Caiden smiled a little, getting out of the car and walking fast to the air conditioned store.
Phoenix (6:00:41 PM): He got out after him and made his way inside, touching Caiden's hips.
Caiden (6:07:02 PM): Caiden stopped in front of where the menu was, smiling a little at Phoenix's hands.
Phoenix (6:08:19 PM): He kissed the top of his head and made his way into the place, going up to the counter.
Caiden (6:16:49 PM): He stood on his heels a moment, looking at the menu.
Phoenix (6:18:43 PM): Phoenix rested his chin on top of Caiden's head, arms around his waist.
Caiden (6:27:59 PM): Waiting their turn, he rocked a little there.
Phoenix (6:29:55 PM): "You are so freakin adorable."he whispered in his ear.
Caiden (6:31:18 PM): "Oh, yes, in my McDonalds work shirt and greasy pants."
Phoenix (6:32:29 PM): Phoenix laughed. "I didn't mean because of that. I meant you in general."
Caiden (6:42:18 PM): Caiden grinned a little, stepping forward.
Phoenix (6:43:07 PM): The lady at the counter asked them what they wanted and Phoenix let him go first.
Caiden (6:50:07 PM): "I uh..." looking up. "A chicken pita... with a side of soup...."
Phoenix (6:51:09 PM): She tapped it in and then glanced at Phoenix. "Give me the vegetarian pita with a caesar salad."
Caiden (6:57:04 PM): Caiden waited, starving.
Phoenix (6:57:29 PM): He paid for the food and tugged Caiden along to the end of the counter.
Caiden (6:58:01 PM): He slid along, practically, and waited with him.
Phoenix (6:59:42 PM): An attendant put the food on the tray and Phoenix plucked it up. "Get whatever you want to drink out of the cooler thing and get me a water."
Caiden (7:00:47 PM): He let Phoenix carry the tray and went over to the cooler, grabbing a little milk that was probably intended for kids and bringing back water fo rPhoenix.
Phoenix (7:02:03 PM): Sitting down at a little booth, Phoenix divvied up their food and set aside the tray
Caiden (7:03:18 PM): He flopped into his seat and handed Phoenix his water, opening his milk.
Phoenix (7:04:59 PM): Phoenix unscrewed the cap and took a sip.
Caiden (7:16:22 PM): He stuck a straw in it and sipped it. Sometimes he ate a lot like a kid... he was pretty small, afterall.
Phoenix (7:20:12 PM): Watching him for a moment, he couldn't help the smile that lit up his face.
Caiden (7:22:15 PM): Picking up one half of his pita he ate it and smiled a little.
Phoenix (7:23:34 PM): Phoenix winked at him and then picked up his own pita, taking a bite.
Caiden (7:23:59 PM): "This is so much better than the shit at work."
Phoenix (7:26:01 PM): "Well yeah."Phoenix made a face. "Better for the baby too."
Caiden (7:26:34 PM): He chewed a little, smiling.
Phoenix (7:27:16 PM): Phoenix dug into his salad next, getting dressing on his cheek.
Caiden (7:27:26 PM): Caiden laughed, smirking.
Phoenix (7:30:34 PM): "What?" He looked up, brows furrowed.
Caiden (7:30:47 PM): "You have something on your face."
Phoenix (7:32:21 PM): "Oh." He reached up and touched his cheek. "Where?"
Caiden (7:32:52 PM): "Here," poking it and pulling his finger back, licking.
Phoenix (7:33:17 PM): "There." He laughed. "Is it good?"
Caiden (7:34:23 PM): "Yes," smiling.
Phoenix (7:37:25 PM): He licked over his lips and sat back more, eating lazily.
Caiden (7:46:10 PM): Caiden ate quietly, but happiyl.
Phoenix (7:51:24 PM): When he'd finished, he sipped at his water, glancing aroundthe place at the people.
Caiden (7:52:27 PM): Finishing up, he sat back for a moment. "I should get going. I'll be late."
Phoenix (7:54:49 PM): "Okay." He tossed his garbage and got up.
Caiden (8:12:52 PM): With a bit of reluctance to work a 6 hour shift in front of a grill, Caiden got up too.
Phoenix (8:16:40 PM): Phoenix took his hand, leading him out of the shop.
Caiden (8:16:57 PM): Caiden was rubbing his stomach, full and feeling kind of lazy.
Phoenix (8:18:46 PM): He kissed the side of his head. "I'll take you out for ice cream when your shift's over."
Caiden (8:19:15 PM): "Promise?"
Phoenix (8:20:06 PM): "I absolutely promise."
Caiden (8:22:06 PM): He got into the car, feeling a little better about the day.
Phoenix (8:22:56 PM): Phoenix drove him over to the McD's and parked near the back. "I'll see you after.
Caiden (8:25:30 PM): "Okay..." smiling a little and leaning over.
Phoenix (8:30:19 PM): Phoenix gave him a soft kiss, cupping his cheek for a moment.
Caiden (8:30:51 PM): Caiden sighed, licking his lip, and moved to get out.
Phoenix (8:32:16 PM): "Bye, love."
Caiden (8:32:30 PM): "Love you..." shutting the dor.
Phoenix (8:36:00 PM): Phoenix watched him go, a smile on his face.
Caiden (8:46:11 PM): He walkd into the place and immeditetly got to work.
Phoenix (8:46:44 PM): Phoenix drove away to the local market and went about grocery shopping

Caiden (12:51:52 AM): Wiping his forehead when shift ended, he felt worn out.
Phoenix (12:55:28 AM): Phoenix had made dinner for his parents and then headed out the door when it was time to pick up Caiden. He was waiting in the parking lot, listening to music.
Caiden (12:55:58 AM): Caiden was sitting outside, no shirt on, and sitting there on a parking block.
Phoenix (12:56:43 AM): "Well hey there, shirtless wonder."
Caiden (12:59:28 AM): "Hey," picking up the shirt and truding to the car.
Phoenix (1:03:56 AM): Phoenix unlocked the doors and let Caiden get in before he pulled out of the lot.
Caiden (1:08:47 AM): Caiden put his head on the glass of the window, quiet.
Phoenix (1:12:13 AM): "Did the night suck?"
Caiden (1:12:52 AM): "Yeah..." his arm over his bare stomach.
Phoenix (1:17:20 AM): Phoenix reached over for his hand and wriggled his fingers in between his.
Caiden (1:20:55 AM): "Can we eat icecream at your house?"
Phoenix (1:27:13 AM): "Okay. We should have some."
Caiden (1:29:15 AM): "Okay..." softly.
Phoenix (1:29:57 AM): Phoenix turned back instead to the direction of his house, quiet for a moment.
Caiden (1:30:39 AM): "I don't feel goo."
Caiden (1:30:41 AM): good-
Phoenix (1:32:47 AM): He glanced at him a little. "Nauseous?"
Caiden (1:33:07 AM): "Mmm... a litlte bit..."
Phoenix (1:40:52 AM): "Well, maybe you should lay down."
Phoenix signed off at 1:44:12 AM.

Caiden (1:53:12 AM): "Yeah... maybe... when we get to your house."
Phoenix (1:55:56 AM): He nodded a bit. "In my big comfy bed."
Caiden (1:57:06 AM): "MMm..." nodding.
Phoenix (1:57:58 AM): A chuckle and Phoenix turned the corner, heading down his street.
Caiden (1:58:48 AM): He rubbed his forehead and felt faint .
Phoenix (2:03:47 AM): Phoenix pulled up in his driveway, looking over at Caiden again. "Hey...you alright?"
Caiden (2:11:44 AM): "I just worked a lot..." quietly.
Phoenix (2:15:12 AM): He nodded a bit. "I'm sorry, babe."
Caiden (2:15:34 AM): "Mmmm... crazy fucking people come in there."
Phoenix (2:18:42 AM): He made a face. "I'm sure."
Caiden (2:19:34 AM): He sat up in his spot and undid the seatbelt, getting out of the car and leaving the nasty McDonald's shirt behind.
Phoenix (2:24:53 AM): Phoenix got out and came up beside him, touching hisside.
Caiden (2:25:52 AM): Shutting the door, he leaned into Phoenix.
Phoenix (2:30:36 AM): He helped him up the stairs to his room and pulled back the covers for him.

Phoenix (1:19:58 AM): Running his hands up his thighs, he knelt a bit between his legs, kissing at the curve of his knee.
Caiden (1:20:37 AM): "That's much better than banging it on a deep fryer at least 5 times a night."
Phoenix (1:22:03 AM): A smile and he nudged his lips there, kissing up a bit on his lef.
Phoenix (1:22:05 AM): *leg*
Caiden (1:24:18 AM): "much much better."

Phoenix (1:34:47 AM): One last peck at the end of his boxers and he moved up to lay down beside him.

Phoenix (1:38:11 AM): He chuckled. "Why's that?"
Caiden (1:38:45 AM): "You."
Phoenix (1:42:52 AM): Phoenix smirked. "I didn't do anything."
Caiden (1:43:44 AM): "You took my pants off."
Phoenix (1:48:44 AM): "Ah yes, but you wanted me to."
Caiden (1:51:58 AM): "Mm... because I'm lazy."
Phoenix (2:06:47 AM): He chuckled. "And because you know I will."
Caiden (2:08:12 AM): "Well either that or I'd lay here all night in my pants.
Phoenix (2:08:38 AM): "Yeah, true." He cozied up to him, rubbing his stomach.
Caiden (2:10:14 AM): "Mm... all night if you don't make me leave, anyways..." grinning a leaning into the touch.
Phoenix (2:14:18 AM): "Why would I make you leave?"
Caiden (2:16:47 AM): "Mmm... don't know..."
Phoenix (2:22:26 AM): "I wouldn't." He pulled him close and kissed his forehead.
Caiden (2:23:29 AM): "It's late... and I take up a lot of room in your bed..." smirking.
Phoenix (2:24:06 AM): Phoenix smirked. "You do not."
Caiden (2:25:03 AM): "Mmm... I do too..." turning on his side.
Phoenix (2:26:43 AM): "Only when you sprawl out."
Caiden (2:30:15 AM): "Mmm..." putting his hand on Phoenix's side. "You helped me a lot today," knowing he'd of keeled over if he'd had to walk to work and back.

Caiden (2:50:52 AM): "Mm... sorry.."
Phoenix (2:51:57 AM): He laughed. "Hey, you're the one that wanted it, not me."

Caiden (4:14:23 PM): "I was too tired to have it last night so I figured I'd sneak one..." smiling a little.
Phoenix (4:15:23 PM): "Not very good at sneaking it when someone's already in the kitchen." She winked.
Caiden (4:18:01 PM): A tossed the wrapper. "I didn't want to bother you," lying.
Phoenix (4:19:06 PM): A light laugh. "Ah, I see." She flipped the toast and poured herself some orange juice.

Caiden (5:23:27 PM): "your mom's making food."
Phoenix (5:26:35 PM): "She's always making food."

Phoenix (5:33:47 PM): "Then why don't we go eat some?"
Caiden (5:34:36 PM): "Because we're snuggling."

Phoenix (5:58:21 PM): He pulled up the sheets a bit and wrapped them around Caiden's shoulders.

Caiden (6:37:28 PM): "Ha. ha."
Phoenix (6:37:55 PM): Phoenix smirked. "Or else you'd have to resort to Gwen."
Caiden (6:38:36 PM): "Yeah, well, you're bigger."
Phoenix (6:49:40 PM): "In more ways than one." He winked.
Caiden (6:50:20 PM): He laughed and touched Phoenix's ass.
Phoenix (6:53:31 PM): "Actually that's pretty flat." He looked back over his shoulder.
Caiden (6:54:00 PM): "But I like it."
