Michael

1..2..3..

Later that night, the kids were clearing the dinner table and doing the dishes while Michael finished up the laundry in the laundry room off of the kitchen.

Just then there came a knock on the door. Michael headed toward the front door and was surprised when he opened the door.

"Mika? Fortune?"

"Hello, I think you forgot something in my room.." Mika said as he held out Michael's wallet.

Michael's eyes widened as he grabbed his wallet. "Thank you! I hadn't even noticed that I lost it. Um did you want to come in..?"

They both nodded and stepped into Michael's house.

"Cookie!" Ezra yelled with a huge grin on his face as he stood in the kitchen doorway.

"Seriously?" Fortune asked with a angry look on his face.

"Ezra! Apologize!" Michael glared at Ezra.

"Sorry," Ezra shrugged and returned to the kitchen.

Fortune looked at Michael, "thanks."

Michael nodded and tuned back to Mika, "so how was your interview?"

"It was good. Went well. Typical questions." Mika smiled

"So what do you do again?" Michael quickly asked Mika.

"Fortune mentioned that you didn't know 'what I do.'" Mika stated as he pulled out his phone typing something in. He pulled up a video called 'Celebrate.' And Michael began watching. After watching for 30 seconds Michael looked at Mika, then back at the video, then to Mika. "That's you?" Michael smiled.

"Yes Michael. That's me." Mika giggled and put his phone away. "Do you think that we could talk?"

"Uh..yes. Um..just let me check on the kids."

They made their way into the living room where Fortune sat down on the couch next to Ezra. The boys had made their way back to the couch to finish their game before bed. "Thirty minutes boys. Then bed." The boys nodded and a few "yes sirs" we're said without taking their eyes off if the tv.

Michael shook his head and made his way upstairs to the girls room. Mika followed right behind him.

----meanwhile downstairs---

"Why's he going upstairs with that guy?" Jacob asked with a angry look on his face.

"Why do you think?" Jason smiled and looked at Jacob.

"Jason! You know better than to say shit like that to him!" Josiah shouted.

"Yea Jason, what the hell." Ezra shouted as Jacob got up and started pacing.

"What's wrong with him?" Fortune asked Ezra with a worried look on his face.

"Jacob sit down." (Jason)

"Yea! Just calm down." (Josiah)

"He's a..." Ezra started telling Fortune, but got distracted by Jacob who was making his way towards the stairs.

"Jacob! Stop!" Ezra shouted as he raced towards the stairs. He grabbed Jacob and threw him to the ground. "Calm down Jacob!" Ezra shouted as Jacob tried to fight him.

Jacob now had Ezra pinned to the ground. Fortune came running over and grabbed Jacob and they both fell to the floor. "Let go of me!" Jacob shouted at Fortune.

"Calm down first!" Fortune shouted back.

"Please calm down Jacob. I'm sorry." (Jason)

"Their just talking Jacob," Vinny joined in.

Jacob held his hands over his face as he breathed in and out slowly, counting "1..2..3..4..5..6..7..8..9..10..9..8..7..6..5..4..3..2..1.." He took one last deep breathe before apologizing, "I'm sorry guys." He sat up as Fortune got up. Jacob walked over to the stairs and started crying. "I'm sorry. I just can't..control it." He continued to cry.

"Control what?" Fortune asked looking around at the boys.

"My anger." Jacob looked up for a split second at Fortune.

"Why are you angry?"

"Because he's gay! It's not right! It's just not right..." Jacob started to get angry again, but starting his breathing and counting to calm himself down.

"Why does it matter to you whether your father is gay or not? It doesn't affect you. It's not your decision who he chooses to love." Fortune explained to Jacob.

"It's not right."

"Right by you?" Fortune asked.

Jacob stood up and approached Fortune. "It doesn't matter if it's by me or anyone else. It's not right." Jacob stormed outback.

"I'll go talk to him," Josiah followed Jacob.

"I'm sorry guys. I should know better," Jason apologized.

"You should," Vinny stated as he returned to the living room with Jason and Emmett leaving Fortune and Ezra alone in the hallway.

"He's homophobic. If you didn't catch on." Ezra's eyes darted to the ground feeling ashamed of how Jacob acted.

"Hey," Fortune lifted Ezra's chin up. "He'll hopefully get over it. Some people just are stubborn."

Ezra gave a smirk to Fortune as their eyes locked.
