half brothers (FTO au)

chapter 17

When Bryan woke up, he instantly noticed three things.

The first thing he noticed, was that he was no longer in as much pain, showing that he had probably been healed while he was asleep.

The second thing he noticed was that there was a small ball of scales curled up on one side and a small ball of fur curled up on the other.

The third thing he noticed was that a certain bluenette was sitting next to him in a chair, asleep with his head on the bed.

Bryan smiled slightly before gently nudging Jakey, causing Oliver and Clarity to stir. Jakey groaned softly as he woke up before his eyes landed on Bryan, causing him to tear up and hug the dragon slayer. Bryan winced slightly before hugging him back, tearing up.

''I missed you Jakey...'' Jakey smiled softly at Bryan while Clarity and Oliver woke up, letting out happy squeaks once they saw that Bryan was awake.

Bryan giggled and pet the two, causing them to purr. Jakey smiled at Bryan before frowning, remembering something.

''Bryan...'' Bryan looked to Jakey and became nervous when he saw Jakey's frown.

''Bri and Michael told me about the potion Eden made you drink... the one that got you pregnant...'' Bryan whimpered slightly while Oliver nuzzled his hand, Clarity nuzzling his cheek.

Jakey frowned before placing a hand on Bryan's cheek, smiling at him reassuringly. Bryan looked at him, teary eyed, which caused Jakey to frown a bit more before sending him a reassuring smile once again.

''I can tell you're worried, but I'm not angry or upset, at you anyways... I just have a question involving it.'' Bryan hesitantly nodded, signaling for Jakey to ask.

''What do you plan on doing after the baby is born?'' Bryan looked down before looking back up at Jakey, a small smile on his face.

''Well, I certainly don't plan on abandoning them, that'a for sure.'' Jakey chuckled slightly at him.

''I'm assuming that means you're going to raise them?'' Bryan smiled and nodded, causing Jakey to smile more.

''Well then, if you're okay with it, I'd love to be their father.'' Bryan smiled before hugging Jakey, whispering to him.

''I'd love it if you were the father...'' Jakey smiled and softly nuzzled him.

Rian and Brandeen stood in the doorway, smiling at the two. They glanced at eachother before Rian walked into the room, Brandeen going to the front door because Lo Pho had something he needed to tell them all.

''Glad to see that you're awake.'' Bryan and Jakey turned to Rian, Bryan smiling at him and Jakey giving him a weak glare.

''Glad to see that you're not locked up.'' Rian chuckled and rolled his eyes before saying something.

''Sorry for ruining the moment, but apparently Lo Pho needs to speak with all of us about something.'' Bryan tilted his head.

''Why didn't he just tell you while I was sleeping?'' Rian shrugged.

''I dunno. Something about you needing to be one of the first people to hear this.'' Bryan nodded while Brandeen walked in, Lo Pho behind him.

Jakey, Bryan, and Rian all turned to Lo Pho while Clarity and Oliver snuck out of the room, going to the kitchen to steal some cookies. Lo Pho cleared his throat before looking to Rian, Brandeen, and Jakey.

''You all are going to want to sit down for this.'' The three nodded, Jakey sitting back down in the chair, Rian sitting on the side of Bryan's bed, and Brandeen sitting on the ground.

Lo Pho inhaled deeply before exhaling.

''So, we all are aware of Bryan's pregnancy, right?'' Everyone nodded, a bit confused.

''Well, after healing Bryan, I used my magic to make sure that the baby was okay, and...'' Brandeen raised an eyebrow, Rian tilted his head, Jakey frowned slightly and Bryan held his breath.

''Bryan will not be having one child...'' Everyone looked confused before Rian suddenly realized what Lo Pho meant.

''Wait! Are you saying Bryan is pregnant with more than one child?!'' Lo Pho nodded.

''Quadruplets, he's pregnant with four babies.'' This caused Brandeen to choke on the air, Jakey to blink as he processed the words, and Bryan to stare down at his stomach in shock before smiling slightly and rubbing his belly, whispering to himself.

''You four are going to make my life difficult but enjoyable, aren't you?'' Jakey smiled slightly at Bryan, hearing what the dragon slayer said.

''Also, the guild leaders have also gave me some info, including a list of rules for Bryan.'' Bryan immediately groaned and began anime crying, causing Brandeen, Rian, and Jakey to giggle.

''First things first, since Bryan was made pregnant through a potion, he'll be pregnant for nine months instead of five, like dragon slayers normally are.'' Bryan groaned quietly while Jakey chuckled and gave him a pat on the head.

''The first rule the guild leaders made is that Bryan, for his own safety, is going to be staying here until Eden gets captured or taken down.'' Bryan groaned again, causing his brothers to chuckle a bit.

''If Bryan is going anywhere, he must have at least two other people with him.'' Bryan pouted slightly.

''If he is going anywhere, he must make sure that the guild leaders know where he was going and what time he will be back. The only time he is allowed to be alone is if he's onto the island. And the last rule was that he is to carry a communication lacrima with him at all times.'' Bryan groaned at the amount of rules, while Rian smiled at him and nuzzled him.

''Don't be like that, it's all for your own safety.'' Bryan sighed before nodding, yawning slightly.

''Tired already?'' Bryan rolled his eyes at Brandeen's question before looking him dead in the eyes, glaring.

''I've spent countless, sleepless nights when I was with Eden, and every other night I cried my self to sleep and barely slept a wink. I'm allowed to be tired.'' Lo Pho and Rian blinked, Brandeen put his hands up in surrender, and Jakey made Bryan lay down.

''Sleep.'' Bryan nodded and pulled Jakey down with him, cuddling into his chest and falling asleep instantly, causing Rian to smiled before whispering to Brandeen and Lo Pho.

''We should leave them be.'' Brandeen and the ki- warrior nodded before they all silently left the room, Rian closing the door once the others left.

Jakey smiled softly at Bryan and gently kissed his forehead before falling asleep.

Remember to always try and have a good day/night. Bye wolf pups!!
