Part 22

"It worked, I'M PREGNANT!" Lindsay squealed in delight as Justin and I both hugged her. Justin beamed with pride at the thought that he was going to be a dad. I held his hand as the doctor continued to give Lindsay her prenatal vitamins, and instructions on her scheduled appointments. Because it was the second invitro process for Lindsay, the doctor wanted to have a few extra exams to make sure nothing was wrong.

The months passed quickly as Lindsay's belly grew with Justin's baby, in fact Lindsay was beginning to suspect there was more than one baby due to her weight gain. Julie had been great throughout the pregnancy so far, helping with Gus, making sure Lindsay was comfortable and Lindsay knew that she was falling in love with Julie. The doorbell interrupted her thoughts and she opened the door to find Justin.

"Ready to go?"

"I just don't want to think about having to be weighed again. I am getting so fat, Justin."

"No you aren't Linds, you're just getting more beautiful. Come on," he helped her into her coat and off they went to the ultrasound. Today was the day they were going to find out the sex of the baby. Justin could hardly contain his excitement and chatted the whole way there.

"Justin, please stop."

"I'm sorry Linds, I'm just excited. You've been through this before, but this is my first time."

"I know honey, I'm sorry I'm being so bitchy, it's just I'm so uncomfortable. I don't know how I'll make it till March."

Justin tried his best to be sympathetic but his excitement won out again. Lindsay looked at him out of the corner of her eye, smiling to herself. She had to keep reminding herself that he was still young and this was a big deal for him.

"Justin honey, I thought Brian was coming."

"Nope, he had a deadline and had to get a press release out before the close of business in Tokyo. So it's just us. Besides I want it to be his Christmas present, the sex of the baby that is."

"Are you sure you can wait four days to tell him?"

"Yes I think I can hold it in. I plan to go buy the baby's first outfit today after the ultrasound," Justin said as he found a spot close to the door so Lindsay didn't have to trek through the snow and ice. They made their way in and Justin signed them in as Lindsay went to the bathroom.

Lindsay was settled on the table with Justin holding her hand when Dr. Greene came in. She smiled at Justin, as she squirted the gel onto Lindsay rapidly burgeoning belly. "So Justin, are you ready to find out if you're having a boy or a girl?"

"I am definitely ready Dr. Greene."

"Well then, Lindsay if you're ready we can get started."

"Let's do it Doc."

The doctor slid the scanner across her stomach and stopped on the small outline of a hand. As she studied the picture she gasped, turning to Lindsay and Justin, "Have you two considered the possibility of multiples?"

"Multiples? As in more than one baby?" Justin looked at the screen trying to see what the doctor was seeing without much luck.

"Yes, as in more than one baby. Okay, lets just back up a second here, first let me show you the baby. See here is the hand, and there is the head." As she moved down she pointed out the chest and smiled when she stopped on the genitals, "Say hello to your little girl, you two."

Justin was so excited he bent and kissed Lindsay full on the lips. The doctor interrupted their excitement to point something else out. "Okay, would you like to see the others?"

Lindsay looked first at Justin then back at the doctor, "What do you mean others?"

"I mean the other babies, look here is one, there is the hand and the head. Looks like another girl. Oh and look here, this one's sucking her thumb. Oh and wait a minute, there's one more. Justin, Lindsay, looks like you got yourself four healthy little girls."

"FOUR? Did she say just say FOUR? Justin, I love you but there is no way I'm giving birth to four babies."

"Um Linds honey I think it's a little late for that."

Doctor Greene laughed at Justin's response to Lindsay. "I'm afraid he's right, it is way too late for that."

"What the fuck are we going to tell Brian?" Lindsay looked over at her daughters on the monitor and covered her mouth, "Mommy's sorry babies, I have such a potty mouth, but Dadda is going to have a major coronary after hearing this one."

"Well you just keep your mouth shut, Lindsay I don't want him to know until Christmas. That means you can't tell anyone about this at all. NOT EVEN JULIE."

The next four days were the hardest of Justin' life, he could barely contain his excitement over the babies and had to remind himself over and over that Christmas was almost here.

Christmas morning dawned bright and snowy, Gus, Lindsay and Julie had spent the night and the rest of the gang was due for Christmas dinner around four.  I watched Justin sleep for awhile before waking him. It was my one guilty pleasure left that I could just enjoy. It didn't last long this silent time I got to spend alone with my partner, Gus came running in to the room and jumped on the bed between us. He bounced on the bed, his excitement getting the best of him.

"Daddy, Justin, Santa came. GET UP. Get up."

"Gus, calm down, let Justin wake up before you terrorize him."

Justin stretched, yawning as he rubbed his eyes, "No it's okay, Gus go back to your room and go potty. Daddy and I will come get you in just a minute alright."

"Okay Justin." The little boy skipped off singing about Santa as he went. Justin turned to his lover, kissing him, before getting up to go to the bathroom. While in there he splashed some water on his face trying to wake up before going downstairs. When he was finished he pulled on a pair of sweats and a tee and headed back out to Brian.

"Let's go see what Santa brought you, " Justin said with a big smile on his face. I could see that he was up to something and I was getting more and more curious. We rounded up Gus, Lindsay, and Julie and made our way down the long staircase, reminding Gus to go slow several times before we reached the bottom. Gus took his place on the floor in front of the tree, with Lindsay and Julie on the couch. Justin and I sat on the love seat watching my son tear open the paper on his presents. When he was done and happily off playing with his talking truck, Chuck, Justin stood to hand out the adult's gifts.

He handed Julie a rather large package, as she opened it, letting her tears fall when she saw the portrait of Thea that Justin had painted for her. She stood to hug him as he explained, "Thea wanted you to have something so you wouldn't forget her. Sorry it took me so long to get it finished."

"It's just beautiful Justin. I'll cherish it forever."

"Now for you Lindsay," Justin said handing her a small rectangular box. She opened it to find a necklace inside with a small ring that had Gus's birthstone. He smiled at her as he whispered in her ear, "we'll add the others later." She kissed him and I held out my gift to Justin.

"Come here baby," I patted my leg for him to sit on it. I handed him a very large box and he pulled the paper off of it, smiling like a little boy. He pulled the top off the box to find an old worn copy of 'Where the Wild Things Are'. Looking at it he smiled at me and I explained to him that it was my favorite book as a child and how I spent many nights wishing that I could sail out of my house and when I returned my mother loved me the way Max's did. He kissed me softly and stood to retrieve the box with my name on it.

He handed me a box and I pulled at the ribbon, unwrapping it. When I opened the lid I found four identical pink dresses and looked at him with a raised eyebrow. "Justin, why did you buy four of the same dresses?"

"Because we're going to need them."

"We're having a girl?"

"Yes."

"So why did you buy four?"

"Because we're having four girls."

"What the fuck are you talking about?"

"I'm trying to tell you that we're having four babies, Brian. Quads. All girls."

"WHAT? How? Why?" I looked from him to Lindsay and back again. My eyes settled on Justin and I shook my head, "I knew you were young and full of cum, but fuck baby, couldn't you have saved a little?" Looking back at Lindsay, "And who the fuck are you Fertile Myrtle?"

"I guess so Brian. Looks like you're going to have your hands full."

"Fuck you Lindsay. I can't believe you two are doing this to me. I almost believed you. This is a sick joke, you know that?"

"Baby, this is no joke. We really are having four little girls."

I looked at him standing there and it hit me, "Fuck you're serious."

"Yep, I sure am daddy."

I spent the rest of the evening in shock. Once the gang arrived and were filled in on the baby situation, they all hugged and kissed me, as I sat there in stunned silence. This was going to take some getting used to.

After everyone left I sat looking at Justin, trying to imagine our lives with four babies. How the fuck were we going to do this? Reading my thoughts he came to sit next to me, reassuring me that everything will be okay.

"Brian, we'll be fine. We'll have plenty of help between my mom and Debbie. Lindsay is going to be staying here for at least the first few months so she can nurse the girls. Calm down okay, it isn't the end of the world."

"I know and I'm happy I swear I am, but damn four babies at once? Do you know how much work that is going to be?"

"I know, I also know it's hard for you to imagine having to raise four girls. But just remember that you will love them and they will adore you. At least we have time to prepare ourselves now for their arrival."

"Good thing. I guess we need to start thinking about baby furniture and baby clothes. Shit Justin, I don't know if I'm ready for this."

I went to bed that night still wondering how I was going to manage four babies, when I could barely handle Gus.
