"Let's go to Woody's," Molly said all of a sudden.

"But you said we should go to The Filly and Firkin. That's the place we usually go," Owen said as he slowed the car, awaiting Molly's decision.

"Woody's would be fun."

"But isn't it a gay bar? Do we want to go there on the night before we're married?"

"What difference does it make?"

"None, I guess," Owen sighed. A gay bar wasn't exactly where he wanted to spend his time with his fiancée.

"Owen, I'm sorry," Molly said putting her hand on his arm. "There's Jake's; let's go there. It's … neutral ground."

"Are you sure?"

"I'm sure," Molly smiled. "I just want to be alone with you and talk and unwind. This wedding is getting on my last nerve."

"Mine too."

Owen pulled the car into the lot beside Jake's.

"You would have gone to Woody's if that was where I really wanted to go, wouldn't you?" Molly asked before Owen could open the door of the car.

"Haven't you learned yet that I'd go anywhere you asked me to go? Just as long as you're there with me," Owen added before leaning over and kissing Molly heatedly.

"Stop, or we won't make it back to Mom's before midnight," Molly laughed as Owen finally ended the kiss.

"God, I want you," Owen groaned.

"Patience, my darling. You shall have me tomorrow, all legal and above board."

"I might miss the down and dirty stuff," Owen laughed as he helped Molly out of the car.

"Oh, I promise that there'll always be some down and dirty stuff in our relationship," Molly giggled.

"That's my girl," Owen smiled, as he flung his arm around Molly's shoulders. They walked towards the door of the pub. "I love you, you know."

"I know," Molly said kissing his cheek. "And I love you right back."

Justin and Brian were ensconced in their bed at the loft. They had fucked twice in the shower before the water started to turn cold. Afterwards they had dried each other, along with a little suitable necking before exiting the bathroom. They had crawled into bed, each with a book and a tall drink that Brian had made them.

"Who would have thought that we would be in bed before ten-thirty on a Friday night?" Brian asked with a sneer in his voice. "We really are getting old."

"We are not!" Justin declared. "We just have other responsibilities now."

"Yeah, responsibilities."

"Do you want to go to Babylon?"

"Babylon? Why would I want to go there?" Brian asked.

"You sounded like you were hating your life. I thought maybe you were looking to renew some of your past glories."

"Past glories … the operative word being 'past'. Why would I go to Babylon when the guys there now would be the same age as my son?"

"Gus isn't old enough to get into Babylon," Justin told him.

"Neither was I, the first time. Or you, for that matter."

"True," Justin chuckled. "That was a long time ago. I went there looking for you."

"And I believe you found me."

"Yeah, I did."

"Took me away from some guy."

"Did my best."

"You were a tenacious little twat."

"That's what I'm best at."

"One of the most effective Taylor traits," Brian chuckled.

"Except when my father uses it," Justin said with a sigh. He couldn't help but wish his father would have given in, lost some of that Taylor tenacity, and agreed to walk Molly down the aisle. But it didn't seem to be in the cards for tomorrow.

"Let's not talk about that asshole."

"Okay, I wonder what Moll and Owen are doing right now?" Justin asked.

"Fucking."

"Brian!?"

"What? If they have any sense, that's what they'll be doing."

"My sister is not fucking her husband-to-be. She'll wait until tomorrow … like a dutiful bride."

Brian snorted. "Since when did Molly become a dutiful anything? She's got spunk … and a mind of her own. If she wants to fuck Owen tonight, she will."

"Stop it. I don't want to hear this," Justin said covering his ears with his hands.

Brian stayed quiet and waited until Justin removed them from his ears. "I bet that's what your mother and Seth are doing too."

"Eeieew! You are so gross!"

"And that's why you love me," Brian declared with a chuckle.

"A small part of why I love you, you big Smoosh."

"Capital 'S'?"

"You bet, big guy." Justin flung his arms around Brian's neck and kissed him hard. He could feel the result of the kiss against his groin where he had rolled on top of his husband. "Up for another one."

"I'm not dead yet, Sunshine. But we need to be quiet and not wake the Squirt."

"She did so good at the rehearsal after you talked to her. Do you think she'll be all right tomorrow?"

"She will be. But I don't want to talk about our daughter with you sprawled across my lap."

"What do you want to do?"

"Shut up and I'll show you."

Brian did just that.

10:24:48

"What the fuck is that?" Brian asked Justin as he glared at the wall. He could feel a subtle vibration coming up from the floor. Justin was impaled on Brian's dick, for the moment.

"Um, Bri, this isn't the time to ask me questions," Justin panted then leaned forward to kiss Brian's mouth. Anything to get Brian to concentrate on the job at hand, so to speak. Brian focused back onto Justin's bouncing butt. They came together in a chorus of muffled grunts and groans. Justin collapsed onto Brian's chest.

"Mmm, always explosive with you, Sunshine."

Justin mumbled something unintelligible as he began to fall asleep cuddled against Brian's chest. Brian began to reach down to cover them with the duvet. The vibrating started up again. "What the hell?"

Brian eased himself out of bed, careful not to wake Justin who had fallen into a sated sleep. Brian threw on his jeans and quietly padded down the bedroom steps. He took a peek a Bree who was fast asleep on the futon, surrounded by her stuffed dolls. The rumbling grew louder as Brian approached the loft door.

"Brian! Um, what brings you here?" Ted sputtered as he opened his door only to find a very angry looking, half naked Brian Kinney leaning against his threshold. Allen was banging away on his drums.

Brian remained silent as he glared at Ted then flicked his gaze toward the offending racket.

"Ah, well, you're usually not here when Allen is practicing." Brian narrowed his eyes making Ted tremble in fear. "Allen, how much longer?" Ted yelled above the drum roll. The concert reached its inevitable conclusion and then it was all silence.

"All done, snookums!" Allen called back. "Cum and get it," he sing-songed at his lover. Ted began to blush from his toes on up. He slowly began to roll his door shut.

"Good night, Bri, ah, Brian, um, Boss," Teddy said meekly as he smiled his thin lipped smile.

Brian grunted as he turned to go back to his own loft. Hearing Teddy sigh with relief, Brian grinned. As Brian reached his own door he began to giggle madly.

"Snookums?"
