Baby Blue (Sal x Larry)

-28-

    They sit on the couch. Sal lays his head on Larry's lap. Larry strokes Sal's hair. Lisa comes out of the kitchen with a tray of hot coco. She hands a cup to everyone.
   Henry, Sal, and Larry sit on the couch. Lisa sits in front of the Christmas tree. She sorts through all the presents. She divides them by person. She hands Sal and Larry's theirs first.
   They open them and it's all baby stuff. Baby clothes, blankets, shoes, diapers, and so much more. They are so excited and thankful. Sal has tears running down his face from happiness.

    Lisa hands Henry his. He opens them and has new clothes and stuff for baking and painting. He smiles and thanks them. Lisa opens her last. She has new clothes and a ticket for a trip.
   She smiles and thanks everyone. Everyone loves what they got and are so grateful for them. They spend Christmas day together as a family in Larry's apartment. They watched Christmas themed horror movies.
    Sal loved that idea. Him and Larry put the baby stuff up. On occasions, Sal can feel the baby move around. The day passes by quickly. Its soon nightfall.

   A few days later is New Years. Sal and Larry sat on the top of the apartments with Todd and Ashley to watch the fireworks. Everything was going well. "Sal...", a voice whispers. Sal looks at the other 3.
   They were too focused on the fireworks. "Sal...", a voice whispers again. He turns around. He sees Nina. Her face is a mess. Mascara running. Lipstick smeared. She looks like she's been crying.
   Sal's heart pounds against his chest. Sal locks eyes with Nina. Larry looks at Sal. He looks back to see what hes looking at. He sees Nina. "Nina?", Larry says.

   The other 2 look back as well. They all stare at Nina. "What are you doing here, Nina?", Ash asks. She looks up at Larry and Sal. "I'm sorry... for everything...", she says.
   Sal rolls his eyes. "Nina, thank you for your apology but nothing changes. The shit you did to us, is unforgivable.", Larry says softly. Here eyes go blank. Her eyes turn completely black. They jump back.
   "What the fuck?!", Todd says. "You really think you could get rid of me, Johnson!?", her voice is mixed with a much deeper voice, giving off 2 voices.

   "Todd... explanation please?", Sal asks. "I'm not entirely sure. Maybe the cult?", Todd says. "Do you have your GearBoy?", Ashley asks. "Yeah. right here.", Sal says, pulling out his GearBoy.
    "Remember the last time we used it to get rid of The Red Eye Demon?", Todd asks. Sal nods. "Use it again.", Todd says. Sal presses the same buttons as last time. His GearBoy lights up. He presses the last button.
    The moment he presses the button, it hits Nina. Her eyes goes back to normal. She drops to the ground, knocked out. A black fog surrounds Nina before disappearing.

    "What the fuck?", Larry says. "I dont know but I'm gonna go and see if I can get information.", Todd says. The quad leaves the roof and goes back to Todd's. They start doing research.
   They start their search with what happened after they hit Nina with the GearBoy. The black fog around her. "From what I'm finding, shes been possessed but I'm not sure if it's the Red Eye Demon.", Todd explains.
   they continue to dig for information. They find that she was in fact possessed but not by the Red Eye Demon. They unfortunately couldn't find what she was possessed by.

    They spend the rest of New years together. They watched as the ball counted down to a New year. At 11:59pm, Larry looked over at Sal. Sal looked back up at him. Larry cups Sal's face in his palms.
    Larry presses his lips to Sal's. The countdown from 10 starts. Ashley and Todd chant the countdown. As the clock hit midnight, everyone cheered. Sal and Larry cheered by kissing.
    They ended the year kissing, and they started the year kissing. It's the perfect way to end a year and start a new one. "I love you, Sal.", Larry says.

    "I love you too, Lar.", Sal responds. Months go by and it's a day or so before Valentine's day. Sal can no longer fit his jeans and has to wear loose clothing like sweat pants. He hated it.
   He has to wear loose shirts too to hide his belly more. Hes more comfortable but it sucks he can't wear his favorite clothes. At this point in time, hes 21 weeks along.
   The baby is the size of a carrot. Sal can't walk very long. He'll get really bad leg cramps. His lower back hurts often. At times, he gets dizzy.
