A Summer Storm

Chapter 3

"So, what's this I hear sexy Garrison Storm came to your defense against his asshole ex-boyfriend Kyle Taylor?" Haley starts off in her demanding voice that I love when it's not used on me.

Haley crosses her arms as Austin raises an eyebrow at me; guess he didn't know. "Explain now, Oak," Haley demands as she crosses her arms across her chest.

"Um, Kyle was saying shit about how I'm a freak because I'm a male who can become pregnant and that it was a good thing for Owen that he was murdered due to my freakish nature," I mumble out to them looking down embaressed. Haley and I sit on the floor in front of the couch in front of the twins as Austin sits to Aspen's right.

"What the fu-fudge!" Austin growls out correcting his speach in front of the babies; knowing I don't tolerate swearing in front of them. Haley utters the same sentiment as Austin.

Shrugging my shoulders at them in response. "Kyle was only stating the truth. I am a freak who can have babies and perhaps Owen is better of where he is and not having to deal with me due to our babies."

"Oakley, that's not true on either one and you know this," Haley says gently as her face softens from anger at Kyle to comfort me mode.

"It is though, Hal. Let's face it I am weird and Owen might have loved me but I'm sure he only stayed with me because of the babies."

"That's bull and you know it, Oakley," Austin insters forcefully. Lying on his belly he starts playing with Aspen as he looks at Haley and I. "Now change of topic because it's false and we need to discuss happy topics."

So, the topic was changed to the upcoming holiday from school in two weeks due to Thanksgiving. Haley and Austin have a five day weekend; Wednesday through Sunday off from school. I still have my schooling on Wednesday but they'll be over early in order to spend time with us since they won't on Thursday and I don't work again until Sunday.

A couple of hours later, mom enters the house using her key since I don't like being in the house with the doors unlocked, even if there are people with me. Call it paronoia if you want but I truly do not care, this makes me feel safer.

"Hey baby boy, Hal, Austin," mom greets entering the living room where the three of us are cooking dinner - homemade pizzas while the twins are in the portable crib sleeping.

"Hi mom," all three of us greet back as we continue to create pizza masterpieces.

"How were the babies today?" mom asks as she takes off her coat and shoes and places them where there they belong.

"Good, Aspen's a little cranky but I think he might have a tooth coming in," I tell her as I place two of the pizzas in the oven.

Let's face it Austin and I can get two whole pizzas ourselves, so we make four and if there is any left lovers, we eat them throughout the night.

"Did you check to see if you could feel anything?" she asks hugging me before hugging my friends.

Nodding I place the last of the ingredients on the last two pizzas that are ready and waiting to be cooked. "Yeah, feels like a top front tooth. I gave him a teething ring and he was happier."

Mom turns to Austin and Haley with a questioning eyebrow. "Are the two of you coming over the day before Thanksgiving, so we can have our traditional dinner together?" mom asks causing both of my friends to give her a 'duh' stare causing her to laugh. "Yeah, I know stupid question."

"Oh, that reminds me, Oakley, aunt Ivy, uncle Troye, T.J. and Iris are coming over on Thanksgiving to have dinner with us." Mom looks at me as she goes into the living room to check on Aspen and January.
