Love Conquers All

Chapter Eight

George's POV

"I knew your father was evil!" Alex bolts out of his chair,sending it flying across the room.  I smile and roll my eyes.

"Well, what are we going to do?" Thomas rubs his head and  mindlessly picks at the bandages. His husband(?) smacks his hand and gives a scolding glare.

"Good question." I shrug and wrap my arms around Philip carefully, brushing his hair behind his ear. He's adorable.

"Has Aaron known about everything this entire time?"  I ask softly, evryone freezes and looks at eachother.

I could've been dead long ago if he does know.

"We have no way of telling. Hes never dropped any hints or anything like that." Philip shrugs and takes a sudden intrest with my fingers, he runs his thumb over the knuckles and sinks further into my side.

"But he's good at hiding things. He wouldn't let on he knows anything even if he does. "Alex points out and we all freeze at the same time.

"Where the hell is John?" Alex asks through gritted teeth.

"And Lafayette." Thomas frowns, he starts to worry his blanket and looks out the window.

"Hercules, Maria, Lee, Peggy." I bite my lip.

"They've gotta be around here somewhere. " Alex shrugs.

"Herc's a cop." Philip says as he starts going through his wallet." He gave me a speeding ticket the other day."

"What speeding ticket?" Alex raises an eyebrow and Thomas nudges him.

"I think we have more important things to worry about right now." Thomas says softly.  My eyes widen and I stand slowly, I lean slowly outside and look down the hallway.

"I found John." I whisper.

"What?!" Everyone screams, John looks up from his clipboard and I ducl back into the room.

"Yeah... he's a doctor.  He doesn't look very menacing. " I slowly stand and sit next to Philip again.

"He could have seen the errors of his ways by now." Philip says, he looks like he loves the idea of John being a friend as much as we all do.

"Well, I mean if he's on our side..." Alex looks like hes going to throw the flowers in the vase next to him filled wuth daisies out the window and start beating John with the vase.

Maybe we should any and all heavy objects away from him while we try to diffuse the situation.

"Nope. No way, not going to happen. I'm not letting him anywear near you." Thomas sets his jaw and huffs. Maybe we should keep anything thats a possible weapon away from him too.

"Come on guys, he was an inside man. He could be useful, he might know where everyone is." Philip protests. There's a beat of silence.

"What if he doesn't remember us?" I ask softly.

"I'm not kissing him." Alex shakea his head and crosses his arms, his eyes look like they're lit from within as he silently pouts.

"George could punch  him." Thomas grins ear to ear.

"I don't think that's a very holy thing to do..." I bite my lip.

"George. "Philip cocks an eyebrow at you. " Youre gay, you swear worse then a sailor, and you seduced a married man into your bed."

"Technically it was your bed."I point to him. He snorts and rolls his eyes.

"My point is that according to half the population of Christians you make Satan look like a virgin Christian with a little family in Canada." He smiles." I think punching someone to jog their memories is the least of your problems."I sigh and glance around the room.

"Fine I'll do it." I stand up and put on a worried act. I hear everyone cheering and mentally give everyone the middle finger.  I swear I'm an angel." Dr. Laurens?"

John looks up and gives a cheery smile. Damnit why does he make it so hard for anyone to hate him?  He seems lighter, his shoulders aren't so sunken and he looks like he's the doctor that gives out extra candy to children.  Maybe there was something about him that we didn't know.

"Yes George?" He chirps I freeze.

"How do you know my name?" I lick my lips.

"I treated you when you came in with a broken elbow when your friend dared you to  jump from one car to another in a Wal-Mart parking lot." He cocks an eyebrow. " I remember some names when people do things like that."

Oh yeah. I did that.

"Oh... yeah." I laugh softly. " Anyway, can you look at something for me? It'll only be a minute ."

He nods and follows me back to the room. As soon as the doors closed he tucks his hands into his pockets and smiles, one that could make anyones heart jump to cloud nine.

Good thing I gave a mini him. I like Philip alot more.

"What is it George?" He cocks his head. I sigh and bite my lip.

I crank my arm back and slam my fist into the side of his head and he falls down like a sack of flour.
