It has been a week that the four of them have been living together. The two boys did their best to get along with each other, specially Jaron and Bjorn seemed to notice this.
He started observing the other boy when he asked him to swim. "Hey Jay. Let's go take a swim"
Bjorn noticed Jaron's nervousness and approached him. "Is there something wrong?" He asked, voice full of concern.
Jaron was fumbling with the hem of his shirt and wouldn't meet Bjorn's eyes. "I...I don't know how to swim Phi...Dad has just started giving me lessons last week"
Bjorn smiled. "Cool! Come on I'll teach you. Kyros and Atlas are good swimmers too" he said as he took one of Jaron's hand and pulled him towards the pool.
From the windows of his homebased office, Forth is keeping an eye on the boys even if from time to time he looks over his papers. He is enjoying the boys' laughters while they have fun with each other. Just then his phone rang.
"Hey baby" he greeted his husband who was on the other line.
"How are the boys? Are they giving you a hard time?" Beam asked.
"No babe. They're perfectly fine. They're at the pool teaching Jay how to swim"
"Okay, that's great! I just wish I could get home soon so I can spend time with them"
"You know you can go home anytime you want. You don't need to prove anything to them"
"Thanks love. I might just do that" Beam responded. "Oh, I might bring someone home. He's been nagging me to introduce the both of you"
"Sure babe. Be careful in driving"

Forth was in the kitchen together with Jaron amd Bjorn when Beam arrived home. He was with a younger man and the engineer raised an eyebrow at this.
Beam couldn't help but chuckle. He knows how possessivr his husband is and approached him to give him a kiss.
"This is Baharan Vongviphan...Bren for short, my younger brother" Beam introduced his companion. "This is my husband, Forth Jamornhum otherwise known as Kantaphon Luang" he proudly introduced the engineer as he wraps an arm around Forth's waist.
"Hello Bren" Forth greeted. "Last I heard about you, you were around these boys' age" he added with a smile.
"Hello Phi" Bren greeted back, a bit shyly. "P'Beam and I weren't around each other much back then"
"It's great to know you've gotten along with each other. Now, why don't you rest for a while and we'll just call you once dinner is ready" Forth told the siblings.
Beam dropped another kiss on Forth's lips before kissng both Bjorn and Jaron's head. After that, he and Bren head out of the kitchen.
Meanwhile, Forth went back to preparing their dinner with the help of the boys. He was amused to watch Bjorn hovering around Jaron as the latter learns to cut the vegetables they'll be using for the dish.
"How come you're good in this Phi?" Jaron asked curiously.
Bjorn chuckled. "I grew up with Uncle Kong and Uncle Arthit. They have a restaurant and I get to observe whenever Dad brings me there"
Jaron's eyes lights up as Bjorn starts to tell stories about his childhood in Palermo. Forth just listens to them in the background and sometimes adds a few bits and pieces to the stories. In no time, they were able to prepare the meal and Forth asked Bjorn to get his Papa and Uncle.
It took Bjorn a while to finally locate Beam and Bren in the house. They were engrossed in their conversation while lounging in their Japanese garden.
"This is beautiful Phi" Bren said as he took in the surroundings. "It's like we're really in Japan"
The garden has a giant koi fish pond surrounded by rocks covered with moss which is situated near the wall. The pond is the centrepiece of the garden and it even has that little bridge. There were different bonsai plants adorning the place aside from the stone sculptures. The house walls in the area were also built to give that Japanese vibe.
"Forth said he had it built here because he thinks it would be nice to have a place where everyone could be at peace from time to time. The boys seldom go here. They prefer the pool area" Beam explained.
"You have a big house Phi...and I could see that P'Forth loves you so much, still loves you" Bren was a bit hesitant. "Does Jaron know P'Forth is his other parent? What about the other boy earlier?"
Beam gave him a soft smile. "Nope, I haven't mentioned it to Jaron yet since Forth is being a hardheaded bull and is always avoiding the topic. The other boy earlier is Bjorn, Forth's son who is the same age as Jaron...same birthday to be exact. Although Bjorn is older by a few hours"
Bren was surprised. "They're like twins. They aren't just stepbrothers but half brothers like us since they are both sired by P'Forth"
"Yes, that's correct. I just wish Forth would listen to me. It's not that he treats Jaron differently but still...it would still matter since I know Jaron wants to know who is his other parent" Beam sighed.
Behind the wall, Bjorn heard all of this. He was both surprised and ecstatic. He has a real brother; both he and Jaron are biologically related.
'Come to think of it. The picture Dad was always staring at everytime he thinks I'm not looking is a picture of Papa with a giant teddy bear. Dad hasn't even mentioned who my other parent is. Could it be Papa too? But that's impossible since from the looks of it, Papa gave birth to Jay and they haven't been to Palermo. Their honeymoon was the first time Papa stepped foot there and my birth certificate says I was born in Palermo. Whatever! I'll let them deal with their issues. Right now I'll continue being the best brother for Jay and a good son for Papa so it would compensate for Daddy's stubornness. I'll also need to check what I can do to help Papa' he thought to himself.
The boy decided to make his presence known and told his Papa and Uncle that dinner is ready. Together, the three of them went to the dining area with Beam's arm wrapped around Bjorn's shoulder.
