Men Can't Get Pregnant

Parents Finding Out: Rome and Pick

4 MONTHS PREGNANT

Pick woke up to an empty bed and immediately sat up. Pick looked at the clock to see it was two o'clock in the morning, no wonder it was still dark outside. Where the heck is Rome? He got out of bed and left the room. He heard a voice in the nursery, he moved towards the nursery door and there he saw his husband sitting in a rocking chair reading a children's book. The rocking chair was the only piece of furniture they have in there since they were still looking for ones they liked.

Pick realized Rome was reading a book called And Tango Makes Three to their baby. It's a book about two gay penguins trying to have a family and finally getting their dream. Pick sighed and walked into the room making Rome stop reading and look up.

"Can't sleep?"

"Yeah, I thought I'd read to the baby since he or she can hear us now." Rome said as Pick took the book from him then took a seat by Rome's leg. He began reading where Rome left. Rome smiled and rubbed his belly. As Pick read the book Rome felt himself slowly fall asleep.

He woke up in bed next to Pick and smiled. He loved this man and he couldn't wait to have his baby. His thoughts turned to his family. He wasn't really nervous about them cause they adored Pick but Pick's parents....they were not at all supportive of their relationship. They didn't even come to the wedding even though they were invited. Rome had decided then and there that he didn't want them to know about the baby in fear of them trying to hurt the baby.

"What are you thinking about?" Pick said pulling Rome from his thoughts.

"How would you feel if we didn't tell your parents about the baby?" Rome asked.

"They haven't been supportive of us so I don't care if they don't know." Pick said after a few minutes of silence. Rome sighed in relief before leaning over and kissing him. Pick smiled and pulled him closer knowing that Rome wasn't leaving this bed for a little while.

A few hours later, Pick and Rome left the house to get stuff for the nursery. They wanted a star themed nursery thinking it would be cute. They drove to a baby store and looked around not knowing they were being watched. As they left with some decorations they had no clue they were being followed. They stopped at a restaurant for some lunch.

"So I called my parents and told them we would come over for dinner to tell them some good news." Rome said.

"You know they are going to want us to move closer to them, right?" Pick said.

"Not going to happen since we just bought our house." Rome said. Pick smiled before the waiter came. A few minutes later Pick noticed something strange, people were being approached by two guys in all black. The two guys would say something and the people would get up and leave.

"Rome, I want you to slowly get up and leave the restaurant right now." Pick said when he saw the two guys looking at them then the gun each guy had in a holster on their belts. He knew recognize the guys immediately. Rome looked over at the two guys to see they had been joined by two other guys with gun. Rome's eyes widen before he looked at Pick.

"I'm not leaving without you."

"Rome, run now I will be right behind." Pick said as one of the guys started walking towards them.

"I won't leave you"

"Think about the baby, now get up and run for the car." Pick said handing him the keys.

"Pick.."

"It's me they want now go." He said. Rome got and ran for the door. He was almost out when a hand grabbed his arm.

"LET HIM GO!!" Pick yelled standing up. He went to take the man's hand of his husband arm when one of the other guys grabbed his arms from behind and pulled them back. Pick tried to break free but the man just tightened his grip. Another guy moved in front of him blocking his view from Rome.

"Your father has requested that you leave the freak and come home." The guy said.

"I would rather die." Pick said before getting punched in the stomach, Pick groaned and bent over but was pulled back up. They heard a loud noise behind them and the guy in front of them turned. The guy holding Rome's arm was on the floor hold his crotch while Rome stood there, pointing a gun at the guy in front of Pick.

"Let my husband go right now." He said with a calm voice.

"You should be careful with that, you could hurt yourself." The guy said. Rome moved away from the guy groaning on the floor before turning off the safety button.

"I can handle it just fine so take you hands off my husband." Rome said. All of Pick's father's men cursed when they heard police sirens outside. The men ran out the back while Rome took a deep breath before setting the gun on a table and running over to Pick who was   trying to make his way to him. They met in the middle in a big hug thanking the powers that be that they weren't serious hurt.

Two hours later, the police finally let them leave after giving their statement and being check out at a hospital. They were all fine including the baby. As they were leaving they heard a familiar voice calling their names. They turned to see Rome's parents. His mother quickly pulled her son into a hug while Pick was surprisingly pulled into a hug by Rome's dad.

"We are so glad you two are okay." His father said pulling back from Pick to hug Rome before stepping back.

"Is the baby okay?" Rome's mother said pulling back.

"Yeah it's fine, how did you know about the baby and how did you know we were here?" Rome asked.

"Baby, you are all over the news, we saw you picture that showed you two  leaving the restaurant with Pick's hand on your belly. " She said.

"I'm sorry about putting Rome in danger, if I'd known that my father would send men to try to get me to leave Rome I would have never let him leave the house." Pick said.

"What happened wasn't your fault, it is people who don't accept that love is love no matter the gender fault." Rome's father said.

"No let's get you guys home, I will make dinner so don't worry about it." Rome's mother said.

"Thanks mom" Rome said as they walked to his parent's car.
