What'd You Think?

Chapter Seventeen

The nerves bounced on the expecting couple. What would Evan's parents think? They were very open minded when he came out to them. Jon's hand keeps squeezing Evan's hand. "Evan, I know I'm sorta past the morning sickness point, but I'm going to vomit as soon as that door opens." Evan lightly chuckles, "Please don't vomit on my parents."

"I'll try not to." Del keeps squeezing his hand, Evan of course keeps squeezing back. "I love your hands."

"I love you."

"I love you more, and I'd love it if your parents would be very chill about-" Evan instantly knocks on the door. Jonathan jumps and once again squishes Evan's hand, but harder. Evan winces.

"I know I may be pregnant, but I'm still a strong ass firefighter."

Evan chuckles painfully as the door opens.

"Mom. Dad." Evan smiles.

"Evan! And?"

"Jonathan." He nods.

"My boyfriend, and we're engaged, and expecting... twins." Evan rushes out. He was hella nervous and wanted to get it off his chest.

Suddenly his mom starts jumping up and down, grabbing Jonathan's hands. His dad is hugging him and congratulating him.

"Guys! That's amazing!" His mom squeals.

"Come in! Come in! You don't want the special package to get cold."

Evan's dad walks with Jonathan, his soon-to-be son-in-law, "Evan's mother makes the best hot cocoa in the world."

The couple sits, the small cup warm on Jonathan's belly. Jonathan takes a sip and moans as the warm hot chocolate runs down his throat.

"So have you guys thought of names?" Evan's dad, who Jonathan has figured out is named Derek, and his mother's is LeAnn.

"Not really." Evan answers looking at Jon, "What do you think Del?" Evan rubs his hand against the belly. Jonathan grabs his hand, "For the girl I already have a name..." Jonathan wearily smiles, "Eleonora Laree Fong." Evan's heart warms, "I love it, so much." The couple shares a longing look.

"This is too damn cute." Derek randomly says, grabbing his wife's hand.

"What about the boy?"

"Jonathan Junior? We'll call him JayJay." Evan nudges Jon softly with his elbow.

"What about his middle name?" Jonathan asks.

"How about Anthony?" The couple laughs at LeAnn's recommendation. She's confused at their laughter, then it hits her, "Oh! That's the name of one of the boys you play online with."

Jonathan's laughing so hard he has to hold his stomach to keep him from peeing himself. He ignores the small cramps starting.

The weekend passes and the couple leaves the Fong household for a little while.

"It was wonderful to meet you Jonathan." LeAnn wraps her arms around him, as well as Derek. Evan might as well join in.

"Come back for Christmas? It's right around the corner now, a little less than a month now." Derek asks.

"Definitely." Jonathan answers before their own son does.

Jonathan and Evan return home as soon as they can. After a good nights rest Jonathan wakes up energized. He nudges his love beside him and of course he groans, "What's wrong?" Evan mumbles. He reaches blindly for his new glasses and slips them on, even though his hair is literally all over the place.

"I want to put up Christmas decorations!" Jonathan ruffles Evan's raven hair. Evan falls back asleep, and as soon as he did Christmas music was blaring from the stereo. It was Darlene Love's Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) and Del was dancing around. He was wearing his usual blue hoodie and the usual smile plastered on his face. The smile that reached from each pierced ear.

"What are you staring at? Are you gonna help the pregnant man hang up decorations?" Jonathan giggles.

"No, I was actually going to go nap until you were done." The owl spats sarcastically.

The clown puts his hands on his hips. Evan hates that posture, it was his signature "stop being an asshole and help" look.

"I'm kidding Del." Evan makes kissy faces as Jonathan grunts, "Imma go grab most of the stuff from the shed. We'll start outside. Get dressed, it's a little chilly hunty." Jonathan sways away like a fucking goddess. Evan stands there speechless, trying not to fall to the ground.

"I'm a firefighter so don't worry if you get stuck!"

"But you're pregnant!" Evan shouts from the top of the two story home. Jonathan laughs, "I've got buddies asshat."

"Hey Del, if I fall from here I'm literally falling for you."

"Imma start shaking this damn ladder."
