Wyatt and Noelle have known they were going to be parents for about 3 months but Noelle still hasn't told her moms yet. That is of course until one evening when the 3 pairs went to dinner. The fact that Noelle did not have a good day pregnancy wise as she was pale, weak, and really nauseated sort of helped break down the news to her moms. At some point during the dinner, Noelle stood up to go to the bathroom but her legs gave up on her and she had to sit back down. Her moms seeing this asked her:                                                                                                                                    - Baby. what's happening to you? You have been like this for a few weeks                                                -  I...umm...                                                                                                                                                                                - Babe, I think we should tell them. Said Wyatt with a reassuring look in his eyes                                   Noelle looked at Wyatt with fear in her eyes and then at her moms. When she made eye contact with her moms she finally broke down crying and said:                                                                                       - IM PREGNANT! OKAY? I was afraid to tell you because I knew you'd be disappointed in me.            - Disappointed?  When we adopted you we swore we'd love you no matter what. But what you gonna do about the baby?                                                                                                                                                - What do you mean?                                                                                                                                                            - We mean what are you gonna do after giving birth? Cause an abortion is out of the question         - Wyatt promised to stay next to me and we'll raise the baby together.                                                         -  You bet he will. Said Josh looking at his son.                                                                                                         From then on the night continued it's normal course till they had to leave. That is because when Wyatt got up from his seat he said he felt a weird sharp pain in his chest. Matt and Josh brushed it off and just gave him a painkiller that they happened to have on hand. The pain seemed to have worn its self on but that was only the illusion from the pills. 3 hours later the pills started to lose effect but the pain was worryingly increasing from when he took the pill to now. He told Matt again about his pain only this time Matt checked his heartbeat and it was a lot higher than a 13-year-old's normal heartbeat. When Wyatt saw the big number on the device he completely freaked out. Matt immediately called 911 knowing that heart diseases were a cause of young death in his family. Everything seemed to be getting better and Wyatt's condition seemed to be getting better and they even thought of canceling everything but the second the ambulance crew walked in he passed out. They took him and put him in the ambulance. For some reason, Josh and Matt weren't allowed in the ambulance so they had to drive their own car which would take longer because an ambulance doesn't have to stay in traffic but a normal car does. The ambulance arrived at the hospital in 10 minutes while Matt's and Josh's car got there in 30 minutes. By the time the 2 dads got there, the doctor was just coming out of Wyatt's room. Matt and Josh gave each other a worried glance than went up to the doctor and Matt asked:                     - Doctor, any news about Wyatt?                                                                                                                                     - Sit down, please                                                                                                                                                                  Trembling the 2 men sat down in the hallway floated with people crying either from sadness or from happiness. The doctor sat down next to them and said:                                                                            - So, you guys remember when you decided to delay on Wyatt's treatment and then go into surgery.                                                                                                                                                                                      - Yes, but you said there was no problem with the delay of the treatment and that the surgery went perfect and plus, that was about 14 years ago.                                                                                              - Yes, I know I said it went well and back then it really seemed to have gone well but now I took another MRI scan and saw there was a number of bacteria that somehow during the time we haven't met after the surgery managed to make its way in his heart and now it's stuck there but it is too big to be removed.                                                                                                                                        -So, what's that mean?                                                                                                                                                        - He needs a heart transplant. Luckily we have a donor but I need you guys to sign some papers according to which you will not sue the hospital in case of accidental death.                                            - So your basically asking us to sign up for the fact if our only child dies we'll be okay with it? Asked Josh with a sarcastic tone of voice and a really angry expression on his face.                              - It's not really like that I-                                                                                                                                                    - I DONT GIVE A FUCK ABOUT WHAT YOU WERE TRYING TO DO! IM NOT SIGNING THOSE PAPERS. Said Josh almost aiming to beat the doctor up                                                                                                        - If you don't sign the papers we cant go on with the procedure.                                                                     - Babe, calm down, I think we should sign them..and just not think about the worst-case scenario. Said Matt trying to calm his husband down                                                                                            After a few seconds of silence, Josh took the papers out of the doctor's hands, signed them, and then threw them back at him. With no more exchange of words, the doctor went into Wyatt's room to prepare him for surgery while Josh was on the verge of a mental break down. He finally broke down and let it all out when he saw his son unconscious and with a tube coming out his arm and mouth. He simply went up to the doctor and without even thinking for a second he grabbed him by the shirt with Matt behind trying to hold him so he wouldn't do something worse and he said:                                                                                                                                                                 - IF MY BOY DOESN'T SURVIVE YOU WON'T EITHER.                                                                                                The doctor called for 2 nurses to get him a room and try and put him to sleep he fought as much as he could but in the end, he fell asleep. He slept the whole night. When he woke up Wyatt was next to him in the room sleeping with a bandage around his chest. Without making too much noise Josh went out of the room and into the hallway where Matt was waiting for him. When their eyes met they both teared up and shared a big hug. As the 2 were in each other's arms the doctor passed by and Josh held him back and said:                                                                                              - I'm really sorry about last night.                                                                                                                                   - Oh, it's okay, I understand your reaction, no one would wanna lose their kid.                                        - Really? Thanks                                                                                                                                                                      - No problem, now if you'll excuse me I have to-                                                                                                      - Doc, one more thing, when I woke up I noticed that Wyatt was in the room with me. So that means the operation went well.                                                                                                                                      - The surgery was a success and there haven't been any complications in the last 18 hours, but the heart surgery protocol states that we need to keep him under a complete observation for a total of 30 hours.  And also, for the next 2 years, I need you guys to come back every 6 months so we can make sure everything is alright.                                                                                                                       - So there's still a chance that the surgery failed?                                                                                                    - A very small one but yes.                                                                                                                                                  The conversation was abruptly interrupted by a loud cry coming from Wyatt's room.                          - Looks like someone's up, the doctor said trying to lighten the mood.                                                         His method didn't work as the 2 men frowned looking back at him. This moment was quickly brushed off and walked into Wyatt's room. The boy instantly calmed down when he saw his dad's smiling and he reached for a hug. Josh and Matt were thrilled to see that the surgery didn't do any damages to his motor skills. After 2 days in which Josh and Matt took turns of staying with him, the 3 Gibsons were allowed to go home. Wyatt's bandage was off, his stitches were looking a little bit better. Regardless of the fact that his health state wasn't at its best he still was the best boyfriend and dad to be as he called his girlfriend every day and even heard his baby's heartbeat while he was in the hospital but now that he's out he can go to sonograms himself and hear the baby's heartbeat with his own years and not through a phone recording. Actually today Noelle had a doctor's appointment for an ultrasound. As soon as Wyatt got home he found Noelle already there and even if there had been only 2 days in which they haven't seen each other her belly grown quite a bit. And today's appointment wasn't just another ultrasound, this ultrasound will reveal the sex of the baby. The 2 lovers had lunch together and then rushed to the doctor. They got there just in time because the doctor has just come out of surgery. Both of them went into the ultrasound room and Noelle sat on the table. Everything was going perfect as usual but at some point, the expression on the doctor's face changed, and seeing that the 2 soon to be parents asked:                                                                                                                                                   - Doctor, is everything okay?                                                                                                                                            - Are you ready to find out the baby's gender?                                                                                                          - YES! Said both Wyatt and Noelle extremely nervous                                                                                           - Noelle..Wyatt, I'm happy to announce to you that you'll be the happy parents of a baby boy.         The 2 parents' jaws dropped and even a few tears were involved. As soon as the news was revealed for them they immediately called their parents and announce to them the one thing everyone was arguing about every time the pregnancy came up into the conversation and even had a bet placed on it. 'spoiler alert' Noelle moms won. They were allowed to take the ultrasound photos home and show them to their parents. When they got home a huge balloon full of blue dust was waiting for them.  When they walked in the huge balloon popped and both of 'em were covered in blue dust. They cleaned out as much as they could without showering than the 2 soon to be 3 families had a beautiful dinner where they laughed and had a bunch of fun. After a few fun and full of laughter hours Noelle and her moms left and Wyatt and his dads decided to call it a day and go to sleep. It was around 2 A.M when Wyatt was woken up by some weird sounds. No one else was in the house so the only people he could check on were his dads, and boy was that a huge mistake. When he opened the door his dads were not in a good moment to be seen. Let's just say they were having some fun. Of course, Wyatt was all dressed in his pajama since it was in the middle of December but through his pajama pants, you could see a small bump. He immediately went back to his room and couldn't seem to get out of his head what happened to him at the sight of his dads having fun. The next morning he still didn't forget what happened but now his mind was set on why he had that reaction to what he saw. He went downstairs for breakfast but this time instead of the normal breakfast talk he decided to tell his dads what he experienced last night:                                                                                                                            - Good morning guys. I have to tell you something, Wyatt began with a fearful look in his eyes and a with a smooth trembling tone of voice.                                                                                                           - Yes buddy, what's wrong?                                                                                                                                                - Remember what happened last night?                                                                                                                      - Yeah, by the way, sorry about that                                                                                                                               -  It's fine, it actually sort of helped me realize something about me. When I left and went to my room I noticed something strange.                                                                                                                                - Like?                                                                                                                                                                                          - An erection Josh, don't you get it? Matt abruptly interrupted                                                                         - Yes... you're right, said Wyatt responded almost whispering                                                                           - Okay, so what's wrong with that? Josh asked trying to comfort his son                                                     - I am not sure what that means.                                                                                                                                     - Well, when a person likes the opposite gender means their straight                                                            - I know that.                                                                                                                                                                             - And if a man likes only men that means he's gay such me and dad Matt, and if a woman only feels emotional and physical love towards women that woman is called a lesbian such as Noelle's moms.                                                                                                                                                                       - Okay.                                                                                                                                                                                         - There's much more to explain but one of these things is what you experienced last night. So when a person feels physical and emotional love towards both genders it means they are bisexual.                                                                                                                                                                                   - So..i'm bisexual                                                                                                                                                                    - Either that or it was just a spur of the moment caused by the fact that you weren't expecting to see what you saw                                                                                                                                                                   - This is not actually the first time it happened                                                                                                         - When did it first happen?                                                                                                                                                 - About a month ago, l was in the locker room and a guy in my class came in the shower next to me and l peaked to see which one it was and it happened                                                                                 - Alright, so you're definitely bi                                                                                                                                         - And...you're not upset?                                                                                                                                                     -  Upset? Look at us, we're two male hot messes raising a kid. We're proud you're nothing like us   - No, I meant that I don't only like guys like you                                                                                                       -  We'd love you even if you were attracted to goats.                                                                                              The 3 shared a laugh together and a hug then Wyatt went to school. When he walked into class he was not greeted by Noelle as usual on Mondays. The first class of that day was English which they were deskmates on. He just thought she'd be a bit late but now the bell rang and there was still no sight of Noelle so he decided to ask the teacher if she knew anything about her and that's when she announced she won't be coming to school because she was at the hospital. He stood up took his backpack and his jacket and simply ran out. His teacher tried to hold him back but he was more than decisive to see what's wrong with his girlfriend and baby boy. Luckily the hospital was only 2 blocks away and that makes it easier for him to not let his dads know he skipped school to go find out what's happening. That would've been the case if they weren't already there. When he got there his worrisome was somewhere less than me in a math test when I didn't study and further than when people realized the Coronavirus was deadly, however, he still found time to explain to Josh and Matt why he wasn't at school. He didn' t get in trouble only because he was out of school for good reasons. He was happy he didn't get in trouble but for the second time in a matter of months, his happiness went down the drain again. The doctor came out of Noelle's room with a sour look on his face, he walked up to Noelle's family and boyfriend asking:                                                                                                                                             - Who's the father of the baby?                                                                                                                                         - Me, said Wyatt with a frightened voice because of all the scenarios he made in his head.                  The doctor showed him to a chair at the very end of the waiting room. With trembling knees and sweat spraying out of every part of his body he sat on the chair:                                                                     - Is my baby ok? Asked Wyatt with tears in the corner of his eyes                                                                    - He and Noelle are both fine, however, we had a small moment of a panic when the baby's heart stopped but we turned it back on                                                                                                                                   - Will it cause any damage later in his life?                                                                                                                  - We can't give you an exact opinion just yet but as far as I experience as this is not the first time it happens all it takes is a few more days in the NICU and an extra visit besides the 1 month check-up                                                                                                                                                                                    - And if that check-up doesn't go according to our expectations will he need surgery?                        - Let's not think about it, especially because surgeries on infants is a high risk of infantile death.    Wyatt simply got up and ran into Noelle's room with tears bursting out his eyes as he was running. He basically busted through the door and seeing Noelle calm and smiling was the biggest relief for him. The 2 sat on Noelle's bed and talked and laughed with each other and their baby who for now seemed to be out of any danger. The very next day Noelle was discharged from the hospital as the baby was now in no danger what so ever. They went home and even though Noelle was only 4 months pregnant they started preparing for welcoming their son and also for finishing the last year of middle school as they were turning 14 and next year they'll be starting 9th grade. Will it be a calm and peaceful year? I mean, it involves a baby so it has to be. Oh come on, you know me better than this (or you don't) but you sure know now that a baby is added to the family calm and peaceful is no way to describe how their lives will be            *NOTE*: I KNOW THE TIME LINE IS A BIT TWISTED BUT THATS THE LEAST OF OUR PROBLEMS
