Love Has No Boundaries (Straight Furry Fanfiction)

Chapter 14: Uncle Tom

Tom's P.o.V

It was 3 o'clock on Saturday morning, half term had started and Emily was round mine. She had had another nightmare and was awake, afraid to go back to sleep. I sat with her in my bed and she was curled up in a ball next to me. Lightning clashed and Emily flinched with fear and snuggled closely against me. "Are you okay?" I asked and she nodded. I could see her trembling and the terrified look on her face. "T-Tom" she said getting my attention. "What if my d-dad does attack me?" She said and I hugged her. "He won't, I won't let him" I said and she hugged back. I could feel her heart was racing and kissed her, trying to help her feel calm. "Thanks Tom. You're the best boyfriend a girl could ask for" Emily said and I smiled. "And you're the best girlfriend a guy could ask for" I said nuzzling her hair. She rolled on top of me and lay her head on my chest. "How do you get your chest fur to be so soft?" She asked and I shrugged my shoulders. "Didn't know it was soft" I replied.

She lay there for a while not saying anything until she sat up and got off my bed. "What's wrong?" I asked. "Nothing, I just need a glass of warm milk" she said opening the door and walking out. I lay there and thought about how beautiful she was. I heard loud noises and thought it was good my parents and Jake weren't here. After a few minutes Emily walked back in with a glass of milk. "What are you thinking about Tom?" she asked drinking her milk. "Just how jealous I would be if you weren't my girlfriend" I said. She giggled and finished her milk and put the cup on my desk. She stood up and took of her sleeping shirt. "What are you doing?" I asked and she looked at me. "I'm hot, I want to cool out a bit" she said. She walked over and got in my bed. "This isn't awkward for you, is it?" She said and I shook my head. "It's fine, don't worry" I said and we settled down to sleep.

Timeskip To Morning

I woke up and Emily was asleep on me. I moved and she opened her eyes. "Sorry, I didn't mean to wake you" I said as she sat up. "Its fine Tom, I'm going to go for a shower" she said getting up and walking out. I took off my sleep shorts and got some boxers out. I put them on and picked up my sandy beige shorts from the floor. I put them on and picked up my sketch pad off the floor and found a pencil and colouring pencils. I got a sharpener and went downstairs to make some breakfast. I got out some bacon, eggs and sausages. I put the bacon in the oven with the sausages, sharpened my pencils and sat down at the table. I opened my sketch pad and went to my latest piece of work, I was drawing a picture of Derek with Rebecca. After a few minutes I got up and cracked the eggs into a frying pan and put some bread in the toaster. When they were done I put them on two plates and got out the sausages and the bacon. I put them on the plates and buttered the toast. I poured myself a glass of apple juice and Emily a glass of orange juice and put them on the table with knives and forks.

I moved my sketch pad and pencils off the table and sat down as Emily walked down the stairs. "What's this?" She asked sitting down. "Breakfast" I said and she smiled. "Aww Tom, you're so sweet" Emily said. "Thanks" I said and we started eating. "This is really good Tom" Emily said and I blew her a kiss across the table. "Thanks Emily, I thought you'd like it" I said eating my bacon. The front door opened and Derek walked in. "Morning Tommy, hi Emily" he said and I waved. "What are you eating?" He asked putting his stuff down and coming over. I swallowed and said, "Bacon, eggs and sausages". He sat down next to me and I gave him a piece of bacon. "I can tell you cooked this. It's crispy, and mum likes her bacon soft" Derek said and I playfully hit him. "How are you doing Emily? Is Tom treating you well?" Derek said turning to Emily. "Yeah, he's a great boyfriend. I wouldn't want anyone else" Emily said and I smiled. "Thanks, I love you" I said. "Hey Tommy, I got some great news" Derek said. I looked over and he had a massive smile on his face. "What is it?" I asked. "Me and Rebecca have found a place and are getting married on Tuesday" Derek said and I felt happy for him. "Congratulations Derek" I said. "But that's not all. I would like you to be my best man" he said and I heard Emily gasp and I didn't know what to say. "Yes, of course. But it's a massive role, don't you think Ollie or Liam should have it?" I asked and he shook his head. "You're my best friend Tommy, always will be. I want you to have this honour" he said and I got up and hugged him. "Thank you Derek" I said letting go and sitting down. "Am I allowed to come?" Emily said and Derek nodded. "We don't want little Tommy being all alone now, do we?" He said and I hit him again.

Derek kept talking about what his plans were with Rebecca. Me and Emily finished and sat listening to him. "But the best thing is the house we're going to move to after we get married. It's amazing" Derek said shocking me. "Wait, you're going to move in together?" I asked and he nodded. "We think it will be better for us than all the distance" he said. "You can't move away, I'll miss you. Remember when you went to university?" I said and he chuckled. "You wouldn't let go and kept saying, 'Please don't go Derek. I don't want you to go'" he said and Emily laughed. "I never want to see you go, you're my big brother and I need you" I said getting up and hugging him. "We will come and visit but after a few months of getting used to having a child" he said. "What, Rebecca's pregnant?!" I said gobsmacked. "Yeah for about 3/4 of a month now" he said and I was still so stunned. "Okay, that's new" I said and Emily giggled as I slumped in my chair trying to comprehend what I was just told. "Have you thought of any names?" Emily said. "Yeah, we thought Lucy or Julie for a girl and Exze for a boy. I wanted to have Tom as an option but Rebecca said no to that, which I can understand" Derek said and I sat up. "You would have named your child after me?" I said, tears of joy forming. "Yeah, but Rebecca said I was going too far" Derek said getting up. "I've got to go, planning a wedding is no picnic" he said walking towards the door but I stopped him. "I've been working on something for you" I said grabbing my sketch pad. I opened it and flicked through the pages till I found the one I had drawn of him and Rebecca and showed him. "That's amazing Tommy, thanks. Can I show Rebecca?" He asked and I nodded handing him my pad. "Thanks Tommy, she'll love it" he said walking out the door. "That's so nice of you Tom" Emily said hugging me from behind. I felt her move her paws up and down my chest and chuckled. "You just can't keep your paws off, can you?" I said turning around. "No, it's too fluffy" she said and I grabbed her and hugged her. "Do you want to go to the movies?" I asked and she nodded. "Let's get dressed then go" she said and I nodded and went upstairs.
