Jon awoke the next morning to the sound of Colby puking again. He sighed. He knew he needed something to help Colby with the morning sickness. He got up and went into the kitchen to grab some crackers and set it on the nightstand beside Colby's side of the bed then crawled back into bed and waited until Colby emerged from the bathroom. Colby crawled back into bed pulling the covers over him. Jon snuggled up behind him and whispered "Got you some crackers, thought they might help settle your stomach a bit".

Colby half smiled and weakly whispered back "Thanks". Colby reached for the box and took a few out. He put one in his mouth and pulled the covers back over him.

"You ok baby boy?" Jon spoke softly. Colby shrugged.

"I'm scared" he said closing his eyes for a brief moment while he chewed on the crackers.

Jon sighed, "I know, so am I but we can do this", He said trying to encourage Colby.

"Easy for you to say you had the easy part" Colby half grinned looking back at Jon.

Jon grinned nodding "True but it won't be easy watching you go through all this shit and not being able to do much to help, that's gonna be hard for me".

Colby rolled over on his back finishing his handful of crackers. "It's the damn nausea I can do without right now" Colby rolled his eyes.

"I know baby boy, hopefully it won't last the whole pregnancy" Jon replied gently kissing his forehead.

"What are we gonna name her?" Colby asked looking up at Jon.

"Her?" Jon smirked "What if it's a boy?"

Colby chuckled. "Ok what are we gonna name him or her?"

"Well not after any of my family that's for damn sure" Jon said looking down.

"Well not after any of my family either. I'm the only one aside from my brother and sister with a pronounceable name" Colby laughed. "Ok we gotta have the boy's second name as Joseph"

Jon smirked. "On that we agree" Colby smiled.

"And we're not naming him Jonathon" Jon frowned.

Colby chuckled "yeah no Jonathon, we've had enough of that name."

"What about Paul?" Colby grinned. Jon growled playfully knowing Colby was only teasing. "Smartass" he mumbled. Colby chuckled. "We could always name him James" Colby suggested teasingly, knowing full well that Jon hated his friend Jimmy with a passion.

Jon growled glaring playfully at Colby. "Ok bad idea" Colby chuckled. "Ok for a girl how about Elizabeth Christine?" Colby suggested.

Jon frowned thinking "Ok who's she being named after?"

Colby shrugged. "Nobody I just like the name".

Jon got a thoughtful look on his face and shrugged. "Yeah that's a nice name I like that". They both smiled.

Jon looked around his small apartment "And we are NOT living here that's for damn sure"

Colby shrugged. "We'll just buy a house"

Jon looked at Colby "No I mean we're not living in Vegas. This is a great place for a single man but there's no way in hell I'm raisin a kid in this sin city".

Colby understood Jon's way of thinking and nodded. "Well I'm not sure I want them growing up in a big city period to be honest so Davenport is out." They both laid silent thinking. Colby propped himself on his elbow next to Jon and smirked. "What?" Jon asked.

"We could always take over my parents old farm in Buffalo, Iowa. It's only 20 minutes North of Davenport so my family could come and see us anytime and vice versa and it would be in the country."

Jon thought about it for a moment and nodded. "Sounds good to me just means we need to make a trip to Buffalo. I mean how long has it been since your folks left the old place?"

"About 8 years" Colby replied. His parents didn't really want to sell the farm but they wanted a place that was easier to care for in their old age so Colby bought them a house in Davenport and they signed the farm over to him when he earned enough money from Ring of Honor wrestling. So the farm would still remain in their family like it had for 7 generations. Now it was finally going to be lived in again.

A few moments of silence went by before Jon sighed. "What are we going to do about money though? We can't just live on your money..." He frowned.

"There is a mechanic shop down the road from the farm, maybe you could get a job there." Colby said. He then groaned. "Hate this nausea.."

Jon rubbed his lover's back and chuckled. "You better not puke on me."

Colby smiled weakly and rested his head against Jon's chest, whimpering softly. Jon looked at the clock. It was only 6:30am. Jon ran his fingers through Colby's hair and said, "Go back to bed, it's still pretty early. We can begin planning this road trip on Friday." He continued to run his fingers through Colby's two-toned hair until he heard soft snores coming from the younger man.

Once he heard the snores, Jon closed his own eyes and soon fell asleep as well.
