Baby Blue (Sal x Larry)

-20-

Larry's POV

   As weeks pass, Sal gets better. Hes able to walk on his own. Hes back to his normal self. They release him from the hospital. My mom is on her way to come get us.
   We wait in front of the hospital. Sal finally tells me everything that happened. Travis is gonna pay for what he did to my Baby Blue. I look down at Sal.
   Hes not showing yet. Im so scared of how our parents will react. Im scared to know if they are mine or his attackers. Sal holds my hand.

   "When is Homecoming?", Sal asks. "In like 2 weeks.", i say. "Shit... Its getting close.", he says. "It is. The best part is its Halloween themed.", i say.
   He smiles. My mom pulls up. She gets out of the car. She hugs Sal tightly. "Im so sorry, Sally.", she cries. "Lisa, im okay. Ill be okay.", he says. My mom still has all her work stuff in the backseat.
   Sal is gonna have to sit on my lap again. I get in first and then Sal. Im glad we can finally go home. No more Hospitals.

   Sal sits on my lap. I buckle us in. My mom starts driving. Sal lays his back against my chest. I wrap my arms around his waist. My hands on his stomach. He rests his hands on mine.
   I need to get Henry and my mom together and tell them whats going on with Sal. We get back to the Apartments. Henry is already down at my apartment.
   "We need to tell them.", i say. Sal nods. "Lets do it now.", Sal says. We all sit down in the living room. "So, me and Sal wanted to tell you guys something...

   We just found out when Sal woke up from his coma.", i start. "We dont know who they belong to yet but we will soon.", Sal adds. They look at us with confusion.
   "Whats wrong?", Lisa says with worry in her voice. Henry has a worried look on his face. "Im trying to find words to say this but in a blunt term, im Pregnant.", Sal says.
   Lisa and Henry look at one another. "We are gonna be grandparents?!", they say with excitement. 'Thats not the reaction i was expecting...', I thought. They smile at us.

   "I thought Sal was a boy?", Lisa says. "I am. I just have the female sex and reproductive system.", Sal says. "Oooooooooh.", she says. She smiles. "So, is Larry... Um... The father?", Henry asks.
   "Honestly. I dont know. Its between my attackers and Larry and honestly...", Sal pauses and looks at me. "... I hope its Larry's.", Sal says. Henry and Lisa look at one another.
   Strangly, they are taking it well. Henry leaves back to his apartment and Lisa is called for work. Its now just me and Sal. Sal pulls out his Gear Boy. "Any signs of ghost?", i ask. He shakes his head.

   "Not that i can detect.", he says. Thats odd. Maybe they are finally free. Sal puts his Gear Boy away. We go out into the treehouse.
   I havent been here for a while. Not since that whole thing with Nina and Sal. We both get into the treehouse. Me and Sal sit in the treehouse for hours just talking.
   We talk about anything, everything. Sal wants to hide his stomach as he grows. He doesnt want anyone, especially Travis see that hes growing a baby. Its friday anyways so he doesnt have to worry for a few days.

    He falls alseep in the treehouse. He lays on my chest and holds me tight. I comb my fingers through his hair. "I promise one day, Blue. Ill put an engagement ring on your finger.
   Then a wedding ring. I want you to be mine forever.", i say to him. He stirs a little. Its starting to get dark. "Blue, time to get up.", i say softly.
   His eyes open slowly. "Larry...", he says. "Yes, Blue?", i ask. "Marry me already...", he says. My jaw drops. "Come on, blue. We gotta go inside.", i say.

   I get up. He slowly gets up. We both get down from the treehouse. I hold onto Sal and we go into my room. He gets undressed until hes just in boxers and a shirt.
   I remove my shirt. We crawl into my bed. His back against my chest. The words he said plays in my head like a broken record. 'Marry me already...' Repeating over and over.
   Hes only 17. Im 19. I want to wait. I want to take things slow. We have known each other for over 2 years, almost 3. I know i will marry him. Just needs time.
