"I'm safe, mama, I'm safe," Nick assured, though he didn't know how to answer the other questions. "Yes, this is my number. It's... It's a really long story, about everything else. I could come to you, if you wanted, try to explain it all."

"you are free to come back home! of course my dearest... oh you wouldn't know how much effort we've put into to look for you! oh and i have to call the police... and EVERYBODY! oh please Nick, let me know at least you're safe... and when you'd come back! i will be cooking so much food for you...." the lady on the other side was in tears, happiness overwhelming him.

**lxcttrll** · 07-10-2019, 02:44 PM

"I'm safe, mama, I promise I'm safe," Nick said, trying to calm his mother down. "Mama, mama, please, it's okay. I'm okay. Everything's okay. There are, um, a few things I should explain first," he stammered, looking at his ring and then to Marcus, sleeping peacefully in his crib. "You... You have a grandson."

bhdire8 · 07-11-2019, 06:13 PM

Brad smiled and came up from behind, hearing the frantic words from Nick in his obvious attempt to calm his mother down. He came to hug him tight, just as a supporting gesture.

"Wh-what....? I'm a grandma!?? b-but... who's the girl!" the middle-aged lady was shocked, probably happily though. "You have to bring the girl and the baby back! Nick! oh I can't believe it... but my grandson's going to be so handsome. oh, you should have told me earlier! i have so much pregnancy tips I've accumulated... and how old's the baby? i could start knitting for him!"

**lxcttrll** · 07-11-2019, 09:01 PM

Nick pressed close to Brad, swallowing thickly at his mother's questions. "Well, mama, um, there's not, um. There's not a girl, it's..." he hesitated, not sure what to say. "I--I had him. Have you read those articles about men who can carry children?" he asked, looking over to Marcus. "I'm engaged, though, to a great guy, his name is Brad, he's the baby's other dad. The baby's name is Marcus, he's only two weeks old but he's on the bigger side," Nick explained, voice slightly panicked.

He looked up at Brad, pressing a kiss to his cheek. "Did you ever decide on a middle name for him?" he asked once he pulled his mouth away from the phone.

bhdire8 · 07-12-2019, 08:45 PM

"A... a guy?" to the lady who was adamantly religious, this had come as a shock. Despite that, the long separation from his son had her open to a lot other things,a nd after swallowing hard, she attempted to keep herself sound open minded. "y-yes... o-ok... i think i might have read about it... but... y-you are the one having him?" she stuttered, not able to imagine how her son became a carrier all of a sudden. "and... only 2 weeks? oh.. so it's stll very soon... a-are you r-recovering... well?" she asked, uneasy herself.

"how about Emilio?" Brad gently supplied, smiling like a cheshire cat at the kiss Nick offered to him.

**lxcttrll** · 07-12-2019, 09:25 PM

Nick smiled and nodded at Brad, liking how that name sounded. Marcus Emilio. He sighed weakly before getting back on the phone, knowing his mother's reaction wouldn't be very good.

"Yeah, I had him. I know it's a shock, I was really stunned when I found out, too. I'm recovering just fine, I'm resting and everything, and Marcus is doing perfectly fine, too."

bhdire8 · 07-13-2019, 06:09 PM

"o-ok.... m-maybe you should let me talk to your father first before... before c-coming back with... with your. hmm." she cleared her voice. "With your partner. And the baby..." she said, the enthusiasm of hearing she was a grandmother now dissipaing learning of the peculiar circumstances behind the arrival of her grandson. "But promise me you'd stay in touch, please?" she begged.

**lxcttrll** · 07-13-2019, 11:05 PM

"Yeah, that's... That's fine. Call me back when you talk to him, okay?" Nick asked, his voice on the verge of begging. He knew the circumstances were odd, but he loved Brad and Marcus and hoped that his family would accept them. "I love you," he said, hoping his mother would return the sentiment.

bhdire8 · 07-15-2019, 09:55 AM

"Oh I love you too Nick... no matter what. And although your father could need some explaining, he loves you a lot as well. You wouldn't recognise him now, he's lost so much weight since you disappeared...." His mother's voice was on the verge of cracking as well, haivng gone through the anxiety of losing her son all of a sudden.

Once he was off the phone, Brad gently hugged Nick from behind, wounding his arms around his lean waist - he'd recovered almost fully with his superpowers. "things will work out just fine, babe... and well, I think i might need to work hard to win the affection of your family, but I'm sure Marcus would help make this a lot easier with his cute smile."

**lxcttrll** · 07-15-2019, 05:09 PM

Nick leaned back against Brad once the call was over, letting out a long sigh. "I just don't want them to think anything bad about us because of what we've gone through... I know it's weird that I had Marcus, but you're wonderful and Marcus is perfect," he spoke, pressing his face into Brad's neck. Nick soon moved to the crib, picking Marcus up and pressing a kiss to his forehead. "You're always gonna be loved by me and your papa, okay? Even if Daddy's family won't come around so easily."

bhdire8 · 07-16-2019, 10:54 AM

Brad joined Nick to stroke over their newborn's hair. "things would turn out to be fine....I promise."

There were several phone calls, but it was apparent that compared to his mother, Nick's father was less accepting of the case. He had a hard time coping with Nick's identity "change", not understanding why he could have "given birth"... and that was even before they realise the superpowers he had now.

**lxcttrll** · 07-16-2019, 03:33 PM

Nick knew that his father wouldn't approve of the sudden change, knowing it would be a nightmare to show up looking so different. He found solace in planning his and Brad's wedding and cuddling with Marcus, adoring his son even if his parents were less than accepting.

bhdire8 · 07-17-2019, 09:45 AM

Brad still felt bad if they were to get married before Nick could reconcile with his famly... he had secretly reached out to Nick's mother and started sharing the adorable clips and photos of their son, quickly building a relationship wihtout Nick knowing. It would be a few weeks before their wedding when Brad finally gathered the courage to visit his future in-laws, hoping that by making an appearance, he could contribute to mellowing out everyon'e sreaction to the stiuation.

**lxcttrll** · 07-17-2019, 01:47 PM

Nick's mother, Louiza, was happy to meet Brad, glad that her son had found someone he loved, even if it was less than conventional. Nick's father, Michail, on the other hand, was hesitant when Brad came to their door.

"It's so nice to finally meet you," Louiza said when Brad made his appearance, happily letting him in to their little apartment. "Thank you for sending me all of those pictures of Marcus. He's such a cute boy."

bhdire8 · 07-19-2019, 06:19 PM

"Thanks for receiving me.... and, thanks so much for bringing Nick up as such a lovely person." the fond smile dancing in Brad's eyes was the best testimony of the deep attachment he felt towards his boyfriend. "And... i've brought a little album for you. We've attempted to record as much moment of his life as possible, i thought maybe you two would be interested as well."

"it's so nice to finally meet you, Sir." he went on to shake the hand of Nick's father, keeping up with his big smile even when he saw the reluctant look on Michail's face. "Nick admired you a lot, i could tell.... and he missed you so much. He'd told me about your fishing trips together... "

**lxcttrll** · 07-19-2019, 08:27 PM

"Well, not without some difficulty. Every child has their differences," Louiza teased, happy that Brad seemed to be so kind, taking the album and immediately beginning to flip through it. "Oh, isn't he precious?" she grinned, adoring the little boy already despite the odd circumstances surrounding his birth.

Michail, on the other hand, was hesitant, shaking Brad's hand with a nervous smile. "Yes, well. It was important for me to bond with him, that's what Lou always said," he muttered, his voice deep and gruff.

bhdire8 · 07-20-2019, 07:40 PM

"i... " Brad took a deep breath. "i know that meant a lot to him, and i think he still craved that bonding so much, especially now that he's a father himself. I... " he took another deep breath, let it out , before he dropped the bomb.

"As you two have known... we've been together. and. well, with Marcus between us. and.. I would want to marry him. I k now this is probably awkward, but .... may I ask your permission to it?"

**lxcttrll** · 07-20-2019, 08:48 PM

Michail glanced at Louiza nervously at Brad's words, taking a breath. "Well, I suppose, eh. If you'd like to," he stammered.

Louiza saw her husband look at her, turning to Brad with a smile. "Of course you have our blessing. Nick loves you, and you obviously love him. And you already have Marcus, I think it would be wonderful."

bhdire8 · 07-22-2019, 05:21 AM

"Thank you so much, Mr and Mrs Spiros... and...." Brad was thrilled to have that blessing so easily. Although Michail might look a bit intimidating at first glance, this was going unbelievably smoothly.

"And... there's one more thing that Nick hadn't been telling you. Hmm, how about, we visit you wiht Marcus, next weekend perhaps? we'd also fill you in with the wedding details." it would be another shock to the couple, but afterall, the ice crawler, no matter how he'd appeared now, is still their son.
