Stephen’s cheeks turned a nice rosy red that Brenden found adorable. He bent down to kiss Stephen quickly before stepping back. “Get in your car and go home before I do something we might get arrested for.”

“I thought you liked living dangerously,” Stephen teased, but he didn’t move any closer to Brenden, instead looked down at his cock standing at attention. “I think your body wants to take that chance.”

“You are a tempting little minx, get in your car.” Brenden backed away and got on his bike, hiding his wince as he tried to get comfortable and hoping that his cock would understand.

Thankfully, Stephen didn’t tempt him anymore, he got into his car and drove away. Brenden looked down at his cock. “Tonight you will have to settle for me and not the sweet body that just drove away.” He spoke to his raging hard-on that didn’t want to go away. But Brenden didn’t know how much longer he could wait to have Stephen moaning and writhing underneath him, again.

Stephen woke up to the sound of coughing, he turned over, and Nicholas was holding on to his favorite blanket to his chest. It was the only time Nicholas would remember he had the blanket and it wouldn’t leave his side until he was feeling better. From the cough, Stephen knew it was going to be a long day.

“What’s wrong, baby?” Stephen asked, getting out of bed.

“I hurt, Daddy,” Nicholas said, pointing to his tummy. Before Stephen could say anything, his little man threw up on the floor.

Yup, a very long day.Stephen looked at the clock, quickly noting that it wasn’t even seven in the morning. Around noon, the doorbell rang, and Stephen wondered who it could be. Julian was gone for the day. His father had promise to babysit while he was on his date with Brenden, that he’d canceled. He’d sent a text to his dad telling him that Nicholas was sick, and he had called and canceled his date with Brenden.

Stephen instructed his dad to stay and have fun with his mystery lover. He was very curious to know who his dad was dating. Julian had never been secretive before but understood that his father needed some space and time before coming to him. Stephen opened the door and was surprised to see Brenden standing in front of him with a large box in his arms.

“W… what are you doing here?” Stephen asked in shock.

Brenden didn’t answer, but simply pushed his way in and walked to the kitchen, leaving a stunned Stephen to follow behind him after closing the door.

“So I called my mom, and had her whip up something for an upset stomach and fever.” Brenden talked while he emptied the large box. “You said he had a tummy ache, right?” Stephen nodded.

“Why did she do all this?” Stephen asked, still in shock.

“You’re lucky this is all she sent. I had to hold her back from not coming to take care of him herself. Where is Nicholas, by the way?”

“Um… I finally got him down for a nap.”

“How’s he feeling, any better?” Brenden asked.

“He stopped vomiting, which is a good thing, and his fever has gone down a little. But I’m not sure if he’ll be able to hold anything down, no matter how good it smells.”

“Then we will put it away for later then.” Brenden walked over to the fridge and put the containers away. “Now,” he said, turning to face Stephen. “Since Nicholas is asleep, how about we start our date early?”

“What do you have in mind?” Stephen asked, trying to see what else was inside Brenden’s handy box.

“No you don’t,” Brenden said blocking his path. “Go in the family room, and I’ll be there in a second.”

Stephen sighed and followed Brenden’s instruction, something he seemed to be doing lately, no questions asked.I guess some things never change between us.He sat on the couch, then lay on his side, folding his legs. He yawned; he was tired from being up since early in the morning taking care of Nicholas—cleaning up vomit, changing sheets and doing the laundry. He simply wanted to close his eyes while he waited for Brenden to join him in a few minutes.

Stephen popped his eyes open to the sound of laughter. He bolted up and wiped the sleep from his eyes and looked around trying to get his bearings. He was in his bedroom, and he wondered how the hell he ended up in his bed. The last thing he remembered was lying on the couch waiting for Brenden to show up.

Shit, I must have fallen asleep.

Then the realization hit him,Nicholas!He got out of bed quickly and ran to Nicholas’ room, which was empty. He heard laughter and ran down the stairs into the living room and stopped when he saw both Nicholas and Brenden sitting on the couch watching Batman. He didn’t want to interrupt them and turned around to leave when Brenden called out to him.

“Hey, you’re up.”

“Daddy, look, Papa is here!”

Stephen turned back around and walked into the room, he reached down and felt Nicholas’ forehead, it was cool to the touch. He looked at Brenden and mouthed the wordsthank you. Brenden shrugged his shoulders as if it was nothing.

“How are you feeling, buddy?” he asked Nicholas.

“Better, Papa gave me some soup my nonna made,” Nicholas answered, then turned to look at Brenden for confirmation.
