" I wanted to tell you guys that me and Brian are getting married, we are engaged" Micah stated with excitement.
" wait.. What.. How did this come about?" Dominick said with curiousity. " yeah bro.. What's up??" Donnie chimed in.
" because he's been in training camp for the Navy, and when he gets out, we are getting married! " Micah explained.
" damn, I'm so happy for you bro" Donnie said, grabbing firmly to Micah's hand. " me too, I can't believe this.. My friend is getting married and having kids... Wow I've really missed a lot" Dominick explained, saddened and depressed.
" Dominick cheer up things will get better bruh... Trust me, you and Tevon were meant to be together, remember when me and Brian were trying to get together and we didn't know how to explain our feelings?" Micah said.
" yeah I remember, so??" Dominick said.
" SOO... you and Tevon helped us out by helping Brian surprise me with a big dance mob routine asking me to be his boyfriend" Micah said, smirking and thinking back to the good days.
" yeah, but what does that have to do with us!" Dominick said.
" bro, you and Tevon are like ying-yang, like the sun and moon, and man.. You guys are just meant to be.." Donnie explained with sincerity.
" I understand what you guys are saying.. But, he was too much enthralled in his dream to be in the NBA, and I just felt he wasn't wanting us to work out" Dominick explained , tearing up.
" well, did you think about that maybe he was wanting something better for you guys" Donnie said.
" no, I never thought of that... I know he loved me and all, but, sometimes I just felt like I was in his shadow, I felt I was nonexistent" Dominick spoke with pain, and uncertainty.
" Bruh.. Do you know what you're saying.. Trust me me and Brian went through our ups and downs, at first I didn't want him to go in the military , because I was fearful that he would be hurt and or worse! But, we decided to go to a therapist who specialized in the military and the guy, we spoke to said, that it's common for couples to be nervous and afraid that their significant other may be hurt, but, we learned how to communicate and express ourselves and we aren't perfect but we learned that sometimes communication is key most of the times, Micah explained.
" and to piggy back off of that, me and my wife before we got married we had issues because her parents didn't want to marry someone who was trying to make it in the NFL, but look at me now, I'm being looked by a couple of NFL teams and coaches and I'm married and have a family.. So, don't ever feel like you guys won't make it.. Because you guys will... I never understood gay people even back in high school but, the way you and Tevon were I started understanding that gay people should have every equal rights to everything, including marriage and a family thanks to you Dominick..... I even named my son Christian which is your middle name." Donnie explained.
" wow, I don't know what to say.. But, you guys are right!! And thank you Donnie for naming your son after me! I love you guys so much! you guys are like my family... " Dominick stated. They ordered pumpkin spice and toasted to each other... " to brothers from another mother" they stated in unison smiling and laughing.
