Hello guys, just anither, story of mine, only this one was done simply by me. No winners or anything, just two charcters I came up with & s atsory all on my own. This one is rather personal to me, & I just loved every minute of working on it. I haven't put this much heart, thought, & love into any of my other stories like this one (not to say I didn't try to work hard on the others, but, you get what I'm saying). Hope you guys like it.
Here are a few images of what the main cahracter (Howard ¨Gus¨ Vanderbelt) looks like.
Now enjoy the story. Those drawings are done by me :3
P.S. Sorry if they're too big. Feel free to ask me to make them smaller if they are.
Gus was on his sofa, reading the daily news on the newspaper as he looked at the clock. He had 10 minutes before he took his walk with Orton, his old pet boxer friend. Flipping to the next page, Jasper, his 1-year-old pet ragdoll cat hopped onto the side of the couch to cuddle onto Gus. Gus looked down & gave Jasper a quick pet on his head. The cat purred as he rested on his owner’s lap.
Gus looked at the clock again, & rose from the couch. He went to the closet down the hall & grabbed the big red leash. ¨Orton,¨ he called to the boxer resting by the sliding door of the backyard. The dog heard his name & rose from the floor to quickly run up to his master. Wagging the tail he didn’t have, Orton let his master put the leash on his color, & began to hop around excited, despite his age. ¨Alright buddy, let’s go,¨ Gus said to his dog & walked out the door.
Howard Gus Vanderbelt is a 52 year old war admiral who spent 36 years in the army. He grew up with an alcoholic father, & his mother was a drug-addict who died when he was 4. Howard's father was abusive to him during his childhood, & at the age of 16, he could no longer tolerate his father's beatings & yells, & joined the military. During his years in there, Howard focused more on his missions, assignments, workouts, & everything relevant to the military than anything else. He never had much of a social life due to how occupied he kept himself, & thus he never had many friends or any relationships. The closest thing to a relationship he had was when he dated a girl at the camps when he was 25, but it didn't last long. No one ever knew why. And despite not having any relationships, he never went a year in his life in the army without any sex.
Never fathering any children during any of his years in the site nor having any full-term relationships, he remained single for those 36 years. Once he left the army, he retired, & has since then remained in his own home. He is a very quiet & serious person, not really into joking around or doing childish things, easily irritated, hates annoying, over talkative people, & really hates people who don't speak or type properly, resulting in him not taking them seriously. Despite that, he is rather nice, & has a very humble heart. Smiles from him have never been seen.
He stands 6’9’’, is of Irish descent, is all muscle & is often confused at a gut stud because his abs are distended due to his age. His hair is naturally grey colored, his skin is a normal tan, & he has black eyes. He keeps the rugged look on his face, with thick eyebrows, & leaves the hairs on his chest intact, but aligned, & even has a treasure trail running down his belly area. The only tattoo he owns is an anchor on his right shoulder. Gus also happens to know 12 different languages, including Chinese, Egyptian, Korean, & French. He recently turned 52 years old last week.
Howard was due to go to a meeting with the military today for a funeral that was being held for the ones who recently died. As mentioned, Gus wasn’t close friends with many of these people who asked for his appearance, but he would show up anyways because it was something he just did. He didn’t like nor hate going to these. He looked at the clock once more & headed to his room to change into his old uniform.
As he adjusted some of the badges on his suit, he heard Jasper walk in & meow. If Jasper would meow at him, he was either hungry or asking to be let outside. But it was obvious to tell that the cat was hungry, besides the meowing, the cat would pose itself in a sitting position & put its paws together in a ‘begging’ look. ¨Alright little fella, I’ll feed you. Just lemme put my pants on,¨ he responded to the ragdoll cat as he knelt down to reach for his pants. Adjusting his belt, Gus finished putting on his pants, & quickly went to the kitchen to feed the cat.
¨There you go,¨ Gus told the cat pouring some wet food in the bowl. Today was Tuesday, so it was wet food for Jasper. Gus had to feed the cat a certain type of food differently every day. On Mondays it would be dry food, on Tuesdays it was wet food, on Wednesdays it was dry food, Thursdays was wet food, Friday was dry food again, & Saturday was wet food again. Sundays he feed the cat, as well as the dog, human food. ¨Ol’ man, you hungry?¨ Howard asked his dog who was resting on the kitchen floor. The dog didn’t respond, which meant he wasn’t. Orton the boxer ate whenever his master did, so it was rare whenever the dog asked for any food early or again.
Turning to the clock once more, Gus made his way back to the room to quickly to put on the shoes to complete the outfit. Finishing up, he put on some cologne, grabbed his car keys, & left. He started up the hover Hummer as the automobile automatically made its way back in reverse. Once the Hummer hit the road correctly, Howard shifted the gear, & hovered off to the cemetery.
The cemetery gate keeper scanned Howard’s entire car as standard procedure to check for any dangerous weapons or explosives (not that Howard ever brought his own guns with him, & it’ not like he really needed them anyways). The scanning had finished, & Gus moved through the gates & into the cemetery parking lot. He locked & secured the car, & then put the force field on his car & walked away. As he walks towards the area where he was called to, he passed by many other families, crying as their loved one were being buried or cremated.
The sight of that brought back a memory; when Howard turned 35, he had been informed that his father had been shot to death. The news didn't affect him much for he had already forgotten & wiped away his childhood, he paid only one visit to his father's & mother's grave (both were buried together), & never returned. Coming back to reality, Howard looked over his shoulder to the area where his parents were buried.
An hour later after the priest had spoken, the soldiers in uniform began their duty of lining up, pointing the guns to the sky, & shooting as their commanding officer ordered. As he waited for this to end, Howard’s eye took a look over some people, & spotted a young man in front of a tombstone. Raising his left brow, he excused himself & walked over to him. The young boy looked young, probably around 15 or 16 years old to Howard’s guess. ¨You ok there youngster?¨ he asked stopping next to him.
The young boy looked up at Howard. To Howard’s surprise, the boy was very handsome. He had dark brown hair, short & spiky, big, grey-colored eyes, a perfectly shaped nose, & eyebrows thicker than Howard’s. He had semi-tanned skin, though was a bit darker than Gus, slender in body, & looked Italian. ¨I’m sorry, what?¨ the boy asked sniffling a bit. ¨Oh, well, I saw you from the distance, & I wanted to know if you were ok. Are you ok?¨ Gus asked him sincerely.
¨Oh, yes, I’m fine, thanks. I was just, paying a visit to my older brother,¨ the boy asked pointing to the grave. Howard looked & saw the tombstone. The older brother of this young man died a couple months back. But why? Thinking it was none of his business, Howard asked another question, ¨So, are you here all by yourself? Where are your parents?¨ Gus asked, hoping he wasn’t lost or anything.
¨Oh, well, my parents are at home,¨ the boy said, looking like he didn’t want to talk about them. Dropping the parents subject, Gus asked a different question, ¨Ok umm…how old are you exactly? I don’t think you should be here without them though.¨ ¨I don’t need them. I’m 17 years old,¨ he answered looking away. Now curious, Howard wanted to know if this boy had any problems with his parents. Though it wasn’t any of his business, Howard just couldn’t let this boy go to parents that were probably abusive.
¨What’s your name? And, is everything alright with you & your parents?¨ Howard asked again as he sat down. ¨May name is Adam, & I don’t wanna talk about them, please,¨ he replied to Howard sounding like he wanted to cry. Howard now worried for this young man. But he couldn’t get too involved if Adam didn’t want him too, but Howard just felt like this boy needed him. ¨Well, if you ever feel like talking about it, give me a call,¨ he said to Adam giving him a small card. Adam took the card as Howard rose from the grass & headed to his car, ¨By the way, my name is Howard, but you can call me Gus,¨ he said to Adam & returned to walking. Adam took a quick glance at the old man’s butt as he left.
Two days later Howard was doing his usual routines as he fixed himself lunch. Orton was standing right next to Gus, wagging his tail for it was lunch time for him as well. The old man pulled out the large Pedigree bag from under his sink, & poured some into the boxer´s large food bowl. He then proceeded to filling Orton’s other bowl with water. Jasper walked by to cuddle & purr on his owner’s leg. Howard looked down at the cat as he put the bag away.
A few minutes after Gus proceeded to making his own lunch. It was always rations for him, & at times scrambled eggs. Howard may have traveled the world during his days in the army, but he never learned to cook. It made him wonder how he never got sick of eating rations. Jasper appeared on the table suddenly, & put himself in the begging position again. Howard grunted, put his spoon down & went to grab the wet food.
Finishing up the last of his ration, Howard heard a knock on his door. Orton left his bowl of food & barked all the way to the door. ¨Orton! Hush down!¨ Gus yelled at the dog, who was standing firmly on his ground & barking. Howard stopped & saw Adam there. He didn’t need to ask who it was; he had a wooden door with a large glass. After a few seconds of staring he went to the door, moved Orton to the side, & opened the door.
¨Adam…hi, umm, come in,¨ he greeted & let the young boy in. Closing the door behind him, he led Adam to one of the sofas. ¨You want some water or a ration?¨ he asked. ¨No, thanks,¨ Adam replied sitting on the couch. ¨Oh, ok. Say, how did you find me?¨ the old man asked sitting across. ¨Your address was on the back of the card,¨ he chuckled. Gus turned a bit red of embarrassment.
¨So, uhh…I assume you want to talk to me?¨ he asked the boy sitting up straight. Adam nodded, & leaned forward. Gus listened & talked with Adam for about 3 hours. He was astounded how much this boy was suffering with his parents. It seems Gus had something in common with this young man. Both of them grew up with a bad childhood. It also seems that Adam’s older brother was the only person who took care of him. Gus hadn’t felt so saddened for someone in years.
¨So, after all of this, you still want to go back home?¨ Gus asked Adam. ¨Yes…no…I don’t know,¨ Adam replied sounding confused. Adam wasn’t even sure what he was going to do. He couldn’t report his parents because if he did, he’d be taken to a foster home, & that is something Adam didn’t want. He had only 3 months until he turned 18, but they would seem like forever if he either stayed with his parents or if he was taken to a foster home.
Howard wasn’t sure what he wanted to do to keep this boy safe as well. Adam had told him about what would happen if his parents were taken, & Gus understood. But leaving him alone with such a family was something he wasn’t ok with. As he took Adam to the door, he continued to think of something.
¨Well, I gotta go now,¨ Adam said to Gus looking at the road. Gus nodded, still thinking of what he’d do. But before Adam could take the first step down, he heard Howard say, ¨Adam, wait!¨ He turned & looked at the old man. ¨Listen, maybe, you can spend the night here tonight, I have an extra room,¨ he suggested to the young boy. Adam smiled, ¨Really? I‘d like that,¨ he responded with joy.
¨But, you sure you won’t be in trouble with your parents?¨ Howard asked now thinking to himself of how he should have thought of that first. Adam nodded, & then explained to him how his father would be too deep in drugs to even notice as well as his mother, who’d be way too high off the bong & doped out on alcohol to even care if he was or wasn’t home. Howard nodded, & showed Adam to the room.
The next morning, Adam came out looking refreshed & like he slept very well. ¨Mornin',¨ Gus looked at the clock, it was 11 AM sharp. ¨Wow, you wake up late,¨ he continued looking at the newspaper. Adam let out a yawn, & laughed, ¨Sorry, I haven’t slept so well & on such a comfortable bed in so long,¨ he explained to Gus. Howard looked up at Adam, he felt glad that he slept well, & reminded him of his days when he couldn’t sleep with his own father around. ¨You don’t got school?¨ Howard asked. Adam shook his head, he explained today was a free day for the entire school.
¨Well, I guess you’re hungry? But all I got is rations, & eggs,¨ Howard told Adam. ¨Really? You don’t have anything else I can use?¨ Adam asked Gus petting Jasper. Gus put down his newspaper, & thought for a moment. ¨Well, I still have a bit of pancake mix…& some ham in the fridge,¨ he remembered getting up off the couch. ¨I tried making pancakes once, but I almost burnt the house,¨ Howard told the boy pulling down the pancake mix. Adam laughed a bit & took the box.
Adam started up the electric stove, & placed two pans on it. He quickly mixed the pancake mix, & then cracked 3 eggs on the second pan. Howard watched as the young boy cut the ham into bits, & placed them with the eggs. Adam then poured a bit of pancake batter on the other pan. In less than ten minutes, Adam made 3 pancakes & placed them on a plate.
He then asked Howard if he wanted any for himself. Howard hasn’t eaten any real food since his first couple years in the military, so he gave a quick nod. This would be his first normal food in about 30 years. He never ate out or went to restaurants.
Adam walked over to the table a few more minutes later & placed a couple of pancakes & eggs with ham on a plate for Gus. ¨Gus, food’s ready!¨ Adam called from the kitchen to Howard. Howard put his newspaper down, rose from the couch & went to the kitchen. Adam proceeded to pulling out some milk & maple syrup. He placed the milk & syrup in the center of the table, sat down, & ate some of his breakfast.
Howard looked at his food on the plate for a moment. He hasn’t eaten any ham with eggs or pancakes for such a long time that he doesn’t remember if he even liked them or not, let alone what they tasted like. Shrugging, he grabbed the syrup, & poured some on his pancakes. Adam placed some egg & ham in his mouth as he watched Howard pour a cup of milk.
Breakfast ended in 10 minutes, Howard had cleaned his plate. Adam smiled for he was glad to see how Gus had enjoyed eating pancakes after such a long time. The rest of the day, Gus spent it in the backyard just staring at his grass & at Adam playing with Orton. He was glad to see how Orton was having fun with someone else for once. Orton rarely ever made any friends with anyone other than Gus.
An entire week passed, & Howard was in a conflict with himself. The entire week that Adam had spent here in his home, Gus realized that he had feelings for him. Howard battled with his feelings, for he couldn’t imagine what was happening to him. He was in love with someone 2 times younger than him. Howard hasn’t loved anyone since he was 25 years old. He also couldn’t believe he loved a boy who probably doesn’t have feelings for him.
But on the contrary, Adam was a few blocks away from Gus’s home, just staring at the old man’s home, for he was also in love with Howard. Adam wondered to himself if it was right for him to love someone 2 times older than him. The two of them had the same thoughts running through their heads, wondering if they should just ask the other.

If life didn't give you lemons, then you failed at it D:
Gus saw Orton get off the floor & run to the door, wagging his tail. Adam was here! Howard took a deep breathe, & went to let him in. Later that day, the two of them didn’t do much but just sit on the couch & remain quiet. Gus just suddenly rose from the couch, & headed to his room.
Adam was in his own room a few hours later, still wondering about his feelings for Howard. When he couldn’t deny it anymore, he rose from the bed, & headed towards Gus’s room. There, slowly opened Howard’s door & looked inside. There was Gus, on his bed, half naked. Adam glanced at the old man’s massive pecs, covered in hair, then going down to his abs, which had a lovely treasure trail on them leading down to his groin area. The door suddenly creaked & Howard heard it, ¨Adam? Is that you?¨ Gus asked almost alert.
¨Yes, it’s me ol’ man,¨ Adam responded entering fully through the door, still staring at Gus’s pecs. Howard let out a huge sigh, & sat up, ¨Knock next time ok? You almost made me reach for my gun,¨ he explained to the boy. Adam chuckled a bit as Howard continued, ¨So, what is it? You hungry?¨ he asked. Adam shook his head, & sat on the bed. ¨Gus…¨ Adam spoke. He began to tremble of how terrified he was to ask Howard about his feeling for him.
Gus looked at Adam, & saw him trembling, ¨You ok there? You need a doctor?¨ he asked feeling worried now. But before he knew it, Adam just lunged forward & kissed his lips. Gus almost pushed him away, but he felt such a connection with that kiss, that he just returned one to the boy as well. Adam & Gus finally knew the feelings they had for each other.
The night went by as the clock showed 10:45 PM. Adam was resting on Howard’s hairy chest as Howard pulled him close. The two of them didn’t go any further than making out, mainly because Howard wanted to wait for Adam to turn 18 to go further into this relationship. But even so, Adam didn’t stop himself from reaching & grabbing the old man’s butt, & then his groin. Adam’s eyes had widened when he felt how big that member was, but Gus removed his hands away from it, ¨Hey hey now, leave that guy alone until you turn 18,¨ he said to Adam. ¨Fine, but 3 months is just way too long for me to wait.¨
Adam, despite the impatience, managed to wait 3 months. The two of them however, were dating since that night 3 months ago. While Adam still had one more day for his birthday, he had no plans to do anything too special but spend it with his boyfriend. Adam’s parents have gone missing for 2 months now. No one questioned Adam at school nor did the police, but it didn’t bother Adam, he didn’t like being around them anyways. Them being gone out of nowhere was just a plus for him.
That night in Howard’s bed, Adam couldn’t sleep of how excited he was. The old man easily fell asleep & was a heavy sleeper. Adam constantly tossed & turned for what seemed 2 hours, unable to get any shuteye. He then looked at the clock; it was 12:03 AM. He was officially 18 years old now. Happy to know that he had just turned 18 years old 3 minutes ago, he quickly looked down at Gus’ groin area. His fingers played with each other, tempting him to reach & pull Gus’ massive member out.
But after about 5 minutes of fiddling with his fingers & thinking, he couldn’t take it any longer, & made his way to Gus’ boxers. Adam slowly reached his hand through the small fly opening of the old man’s boxers, & gently pulled out the dong. His eyes widened at how girthy & meaty it was. It was much bigger than he thought. He looked at it for a while longer & questioned if he should just put it in his mouth. He wondered how far his mouth would stretch, for it wasn’t even hard, but it looked like it could just choke him.
Another 5 minutes passed, & Adam just thought it was time to do it. He leaned his head forward, & opened his mouth. Slowly, he placed the top of the head into his mouth, & breathed in as he moved it down further. He felt his pie hole being stretched out a bit by the massive meat stick. While this dick wasn’t as long as he joped, it made up for how big, meaty, & girthy it was. About a minute after, Adam managed to slip it into his mouth perfectly. Adam could only picture how this dick would look like when it was fully hard.
He began to bob his head up & down slowly, tasting it & enjoying every second of it. Adam then heard his man begin to moan, resulting in the cock starting to get hard. Howard was still deeply asleep, but it seemed that Adam pleasuring his cock must have stimulated him to get hard. But that was just a plus for Adam. After a few second, Adam’s mouth had stretched wider than it was supposed to. This was the meatiest & thickest cock ever made.
Adam sucked on that massive member as Howard moaned more in his sleep for 30 minutes straight. With those 30 minutes, Adam saw his mate’s balls begin to fill up with sperm, ready to be discharged at any moment. After another 10 minutes, Gus gave one loud yell as Adam felt that cock burst of sperm within his mouth. Swallowing as much as he could, Gus’ cock stopped ejaculating for a moment. Adam removed it from his mouth, when suddenly it just threw some more at his face. Satisfied, he went up to Howard, & rested on his chest for a moment. Then, he rose from bed, & went to clean himself, & then brought a towel to clean his mate’s junk.
In the morning, Gus awoke feeling refreshed. He wasn’t sure why, but he awoke feeling better than most days. ¨Morning stud,¨ Adam said to him walking out of the room. ¨Happy Birthday,¨ Gus replied feeling a bit different when Adam said that. Shrugging, he removed the sheets, & went to the bathroom to freshen up.
Adam made some chocolate chip pancakes as Gus sat on the table, still half naked, wondering. As Adam brought over the plate with pancakes, Gus asked, ¨Adam, where do you want to go for your birthday?¨ Adam thought for a moment, but couldn’t decide. He wasn’t much of a person who liked going out to places for a birthday. ¨Gee, I don’t know honestly, where would you wanna go?¨ he asked Gus as he took a bite of his pancake. ¨I don’t know, I never go to restaurants,¨ he said eating some of the pancake as well. The two decided to just remain home & order a cake. It was a simple birthday, but Adam was just glad he spent it with Howard.
Month 1
Adam felt extremely nauseated & tired this month. He also began to get strange craving such as pickles & ice cream, & onion with chocolate syrup. Gus just ignored it, he thought Adam was just being weird & trying to get attention. Adam just ignorantly ignored it as well; he just thought his body was somehow changing because of his age.
Month 2
Adam awoke on this Saturday morning & the first thing he noticed was this belly bump popping up from under the sheets. This began to worry him. Was he getting fat or was something happening to his body that he didn’t know? He quickly rose from the bed, making sure not to awake his big bear, & went to wash himself.
Gus awoke an hour later, & washed himself. Exiting the room, rubbing his left eye, he noticed Adam sitting on the couch, with Jasper resting right next to him. ¨Morning hibernator,¨ Adam teased getting of the couch. As he walked up to his mate, Gus noticed the small bump behind the shirt Adam was wearing. Adam gave him his good morning kiss, but Gus just had to ask, ¨Hey, have you been letting yourself go?¨ ¨What?¨ Adam asked feeling a bit offended.
¨Well, I think we should go to the doctor. You know, just in case this something serious,¨ Howard suggested to his boyfriend, who was pigging out on more pickles & ice cream. ¨Fine, fine, we’ll go. I don’t want it to be something serious either,¨ Adam concurred as he finished the pickle in his hand. Gus nodded, & went to the room to put on some boots.
Adam & Howard were at the doctor’s office already, & left mouth agape by what they were seeing. The doctor had asked Adam to step on the table, & brought in the ultrasound to check what the problem may have been, only there wasn’t a problem with Adam, it was something much better. Adam had gotten pregnant!
¨Well, there’s what’s causing your belly to grow,¨ the doctor announced as he moved the ultrasound a bit more. Adam almost began crying, he was having Howard’s baby! ¨Oh Howard, isn’t this great? I’m having a baby of yours!¨ he said happily looking at Gus. Gus had his eyes wide open & looked a bit shocked, ¨Oh…yeah, that’s great…heh…¨ Adam looked at his mate, & looked a bit bummed, ¨You’re not happy about this? You’re not,¨ Adam responded turning from happy to sad. ¨No, no, no, of course I’m happy baby,¨ Gus tried to correct the situation. ¨No you’re not, I can tell by your expression.¨ ¨Adam, look at me. I am happy you’re having a baby. I just didn’t expect this too happen, at least not this soon.¨ Adam calmed down a bit as he believed what Gus had told him. Gus just always looked so serious that it was hard to tell if he was ever in a good mood.
Back at their home, Adam was on the couch, still overjoyed by the news he was given by the doctor. He took it so well for someone his age & still in school. Meanwhile, Howard was reminiscing in his own room, still a bit down for what Adam told him at the doctor’s office earlier. Howard was actually pretty glad that he was finally going to settle down & have a family, seeing that he never fathered any children in his years before. He rose from bed, & walked to the living room.
Gus sat on the same couch his mate was sitting in, & pulled him close for a hug. ¨I just wanted to let you know, that no matter what I do or say or look like, I’ll always be glad about this baby. Just so you’d know,¨ he told his pregnant mate giving him a kiss on the cheek. Adam smiled, & returned one to his big bear. ¨I’m sorry for what I said earlier,¨ he responded to Gus.
Month 4
Adam’s belly had gotten much bigger. Gus was gone today for a meeting with his old military partners. When Howard wasn’t around, Adam would stay bored to death at home. Even the Nintendo Cosmosis that Gus bought him had gotten a bit boring of playing for too long. Jasper then came by to get some cuddling, & who was Adam to decline such a thing? Orton then passed by as well, & began to smell Adam’s belly.
Adam smiled at the dog & scratched its head. ¨That’s your master's baby in there,¨ he smiled laughing a bit. He gave his belly a rub as he started getting cravings again. He made his way off the sofa & headed to the kitchen to grab some beans & mayonnaise. After the quick snack, he headed into the room where he & his mate sleep in, & decided to do some browsing through Howard's things.
Adam was so surprised that his own man’s wardrobe was so boring. All Gus had in his closet was heavy camo cargo pants, grey muscle shirts with ¨Army¨ printed on them, some military boots, & a handful of shorts, with camo on them as well. Adam always knew & noticed that Howard only wore the same type of clothes, but he never knew that was all he had & owned. His underwear drawer was different though; Howard had 3 different types of undergarments in the drawer, all neatly folded & clean. In there he saw boxers, boxer shorts, & jockstraps. Adam smiled when he pulled out a pair of jockstraps. He’s never seen Gus wearing these before. It made him wonder how hot his mate would look like in them.
A week later, Gus & Adam went grocery shopping. Howard stopped at a red light, & then turned to Adam. He reached his hand for Adam’s belly, & gave it a rub. Adam smiled & moaned a bit to feeling his sensitive belly being rubbed, & then placed his hands on Howard’s. The light turned green, & Howard drove off.
As Howard took a turn, he made a halting stop, putting his hand in front of Adam so he wouldn’t hurt himself or the baby. Howard beeped at that same second to a bunch of young punks crossing the street at a green light. They turned to look at Gus & only laughed while a few flipped them off. Then they turned to keep walking forward. ¨Fucking assholes!! You ok baby?¨ Gus asked his mate as he looked at the group of guys walking off, angry. ¨Yeah, I’m fine Gus, just ignore them,¨ Adam replied & said to him seeing how angry he was. Gus sighed & moved forward.
Howard found a parking spot close to the doors of Wal-Mart, & turned off his vehicle. He went over to Adam’s side & helped him off the seat, ¨Thanks hon,¨ Adam thanked stepping off the seat & onto the sidewalk. ¨Go on ahead, I’ll catch up, I need to put the security & shield on the car,¨ Gus asked his mate as he turned to the car. Adam nodded & began to walk to the doors. As Howard finished putting the shield, he turned to see the same punks from a few minutes ago walking straight at him.
¨Hey! Who the fuck were you honking at huh?!¨ One of them, who seemed to be the leader, said to Howard acting tough. Howard wasn’t happy with this guy, especially since they walked in front of him when they were supposed to be waiting for their turn to walk across. ¨Huh old man?! Who the fuck you be honking at?!¨ he said again lifting his hands in the air as a sign of him being dominant. ¨Listen you little fuck, you & your friends got in the way when you weren’t supposed to be! So don’t you start acting like it was my fault I almost ran you all over! If only I would have!¨ Howard replied angry at the young tiger. ¨What you wanna start something ol' man?!¨ the tiger replied getting closer to Howard as the others began to say similar things, ready to fight him at any moment.
Howard broke into the argument as well, almost ready to actually start throwing punches as the veins on his neck began to pop out of his anger, his fists shaking of him ready to throw the first punch of rage & adrenaline. ¨Howard?¨ Gus heard his name called. The sound of Adam's voice made his fists stop shaking & Adam calmed down. He didn’t want to fight, especially with his mate here, Gus didn’t want his mate to panic & hurt the baby or himself. ¨Gus, baby, is everything ok?¨ Adam came from behind & held his mate’s arm, his hand holding his belly. Howard sighed, then spoke calmly, ¨Yeah, I’m fine baby. Let’s go,¨ he said turning to the punks with a glare. The group of guys still didn’t look very happy, but Howard was still right about what he said to them. ¨C’mon guys, let’s get outta here,¨ the leader told the rest & turned to leave.
In the store, Adam grabbed a few cans of canned oysters as Gus thought to himself about how he almost threw himself to those guys. He could have easily killed them all of how angry he was, if not send them to the hospital of how badly he could have hurt them. ¨Howard? Howard?¨ Adam called to him. Gus snapped out of his thoughts & looked down at Adam, ¨Huh? Oh, what?¨ ¨Do you like the Chaichai or Uschi ones better?¨ he asked Howard holding two bags of fish sticks in front of him. ¨Mmmm…I don’t know. They all look & taste the same to me,¨ he said looking at both bags. Adam sighed & went on with putting both bags in the cart.
At home, Adam was making the fish sticks with some ground chicken meat, while Howard sat on the sofa trying to play Super Smash Bros. Coliseum on Adam’s Nintendo Cosmosis. A few minutes passed, & Adam brought a bowl of ground chicken & put the fish sticks on the small portable table next to Gus. ¨Food’s ready,¨ he told Howard making his way onto the couch seat. He stared at Howard trying to play the game, struggling. Laughing, Adam explained to his mate how to play the game, & how to use the controller.
Month 6
Adam had a belly the size of a melon. During school, he’d have to constantly leave during class to use the bathroom. The baby inside him would just play around with Adam’s bladder. He’d also have to use the elevator because of how big he’d gotten now. The stairs were impossible to climb up or down.
As Howard & Adam had dinner, Howard asked his mate, ¨Do you want to continue school when you hit your 9th month?¨ ¨No, I’d prefer to be at home,¨ he replied to Gus eating some of the lobster. Howard nodded & went back to eating his lobster as well. The baby was a problem enough in school now; Adam couldn’t imagine how difficult it was going to be when month 9 came.
Howard was washing the dishes when he suddenly heard Adam call from the outside, ¨Howard! Howard come quick!¨ Alert, Gus put the plate down & ran outside. ¨What? What is it?!¨ he asked Adam nervously. ¨The baby, it just kicked!¨ He said to Howard happily. Howard looked down at his mates large belly, ¨Really?¨ he asked almost rubbing it. ¨Yes! Here, feel it yourself,¨ Adam responded grabbing Gus’ hand & putting it on his belly. Howard felt the warm belly as he felt something move inside. Then, he felt a kick. ¨Oh wow, you were right,¨ he stated. Adam smiled, but noticed how Howard didn’t. In fact, Adam noticed that Howard, since he first met him, had never smiled. It made him wonder if he had ever smiled in his life. Howard was always looking serious, & wasn’t the type of person you’d want to act stupid with.
That afternoon as the two of them sat on the couch watching some television, Adam looked up at his old stud, & asked, ¨Howard, how come you don't smile?¨ Howard looked at Adam, ¨Hmm?¨ ¨How come I’ve never seen you smile, even once?¨ he asked again. Howard remained quiet, looking like he didn’t know what to say. ¨I wish you weren’t always so serious, & you would smile at least once. I’m sure you have a great smile, show it sometime,¨ Adam smiled & finished. Howard just looked at Adam for a few minutes, & turned back to watch the TV.
That night in bed, as Adam slept soundly, Gus remained awake. He was on his side, his hand on his face looking over at his mate, the question he had asked was going through his head. Howard understood what his mate was asking. But the last time he could remember smiling was when he was around 9 or 10 years old. After those years, he couldn’t recall ever smiling again. He reached his other hand over & gave Adam’s belly a rub. ¨You want me to smile?¨ he said quietly as he watched his mate sleep. ¨I’ll smile for you, don’t you worry,¨ he continued, thinking & hoping that it would actually happen sometime. He didn’t even remember what he looked like when he smiled, so Howard imagined himself with a big smile on his face. But in the time being, that smile would probably come at a good moment. He quickly gave Adam a kiss on his cheek, covered himself in the sheets, & went to sleep. The two slept together in a spooning position.

If life didn't give you lemons, then you failed at it D:
Adam’s belly had gotten huge. The baby would constantly assault him with kicks & punches to the walls of his belly & his ribs. Adam also felt anxious that he needed just one more month to deliver his baby. He wanted to see it now, hoping it would look like his big father. Howard walked in then with the keys to his Hummer, ¨You ready to go?¨ he asked his heavily pregnant mate. They were going to look at some baby stores today. Adam nodded as he attempted to make his way off the couch. Howard walked over & took his hand, & helped Adam off the couch.
Howard sat on the small bench inside one store as he watched Adam pick out a few things. Adam then returned with an adorable blue set of pajamas & showed them to Howard. ¨But do you know if the baby is a boy or a girl?¨ he asked looking up at him. ¨No, I don’t actually.¨ ¨Well, what do you hope it is?¨ he asked giving Adam’s swollen belly a rub. ¨Not sure. I want it to be a surprise. What do you hope it is?¨ Adam asked enjoying his mate’s rough hands rub his sensitive, soft belly. Howard put his hands on the side of his hips, ¨I don’t like surprises. Well, I’m hoping for a boy,¨ he answered returning to rub Adam’s belly.
Back at home, the two went to bed early. Adam rested ever so soundly on his big military man’s hairy chest, while Gus just remained awake. He wondered about him being a father. Howard never handled kids before in his life, & he felt too old to father a child now. He looked down at Adam, & rubbed his back. ¨I hope this baby won’t dislike me,¨ he quietly said to his sleeping mate as he closed his eyes, & went to sleep.
The next day as Adam came from school, he saw Howard on the couch, waiting for him. ¨Hey Howard, what going on?¨ he asked putting his backpack on the wall hanger. ¨Come with me,¨ Gus replied getting off the couch & walking down the hall. He stopped in front of Adam’s old room, now a nursery for the baby, ¨Go inside,¨ he told Adam stepping to the side. Adam raised a brow, & then just walked into the room. As soon as he stepped into the room, he froze in his spot, mouth agape. There he saw the baby crib he was looking at a few weeks back. It was the most expensive crib in the store, but Adam didn’t ask his mate for it because he didn’t want him to pay so much for a crib. But it made Adam wonder how Gus knew about the bed.
¨How’d you know this was the crib I wanted?¨ he asked his mate almost crying. Howard shrugged, ¨I saw you admiring it, & thought maybe I should get it for you since you didn’t say anything to me about it,¨ he explained & finished putting his hands in his pockets. Adam waddled over to hug his mate tightly. After about a minute, Howard offered to take a picture of Adam next to the crib. Adam smiled at the idea & went over to the crib. Howard pulled out his camera, took the picture. ¨but baby, is didn’t want you to waste so much money on the crib,¨ Adam said moving away from the crib. ¨Adam, the government will give me all the money I want until hell freezes over. It wasn’t a big deal.¨
An hour later, Adam was drinking himself a raspberry-flavored yogurt as he walked over to the living room where Gus was in, ¨Howard, baby, are we going to go later?¨ he asked as he rubbed his belly. Howard looked at his mate & how his belly big beautifully stuck out from the shirt he was wearing, ¨Yes, yes, just lemme finish watching this,¨ he asked his mate leaning back on the couch. ¨Alright,¨ he turned to finish drinking his yogurt. Today Adam was craving some Mexican food, this was ironic to him because he hated Mexican food with a passion, & the baby made him crave it like he loved it.
Month 9
Adam was breathing heavily as he rubbed his large belly. He was on his last month & could be due any day now. His nerves were building up by the second. The only person more nervous about this was Howard. He’d constantly ask Adam if he was alright or check up on him if anything new was up. It made Adam laugh of how worried his big mate was, & he wasn’t even the one pregnant.
The doc finished doing the ultrasound & Adam lowered his shirt back down. Howard asked when Adam was due to the doc. The doc went over to his desk; Gus helped his mate off the bed & went over to take a seat. ¨Ok, the baby can arrive any day now, you know that right?¨ the doc asked Adam, who nodded after. ¨Well, the exact day you’re due is this Friday,¨ he said. Both Adam & Gus’ eyes widened hearing the day of the delivery. That was only 3 days from now! ¨Well, in the mean time, I just want you Adam to not be jumping or running at any time. That could just cause the baby to arrive earlier if you’re not careful,¨ he finished explaining as he rose form his chair to show them out. Adam nodded as he took Howard’s hand & walked out the door.
The first day had passed, & Adam was still as nervous as ever. He felt his belly, & then rubbed it to calm to active baby. It had run out of room now, so it wouldn’t kick or punch as much as it used to, but this made Adam feel better, the kicks & punches the baby gave were a nightmare for him. Howard was in the room grabbing supplies & putting them in his old military bag in case Adam went into labor earlier than expected. He hasn’t been this nervous since the mission of recovering a kidnapped general in Russia 25 years ago.
Day two then came, Howard was almost sweating of how nervous he was. It still made Adam laugh of how nervous Gus got. He approached his hairy-chested mate, & put his hand on his shoulder, ¨Baby, calm down, it’ll be fine. I’m the pregnant one around here remember?¨ he tried clarifying things. Howard nodded as he rose from the couch & walked out to the backyard. Orton followed behind & began to jump around, thinking Gus was playing. ¨Orton! Come here boy!¨ Adam called the dog over, for he knew that Gus didn’t like to be bothered when he was nervous. Orton ran up to the heavily pregnant boy & hopped walking his tail. Adam walked to the kitchen, Orton following behind.
Another night as the two rested in bed, Adam stroked Gus’ hairy chest, Gus staring at the wall, still nervous. This night Adam felt a contraction, he was only a few hours away from Friday. Adam then rested his head on his mate’s chest. Howard looked down at Adam, then rubbed his dark brown hair, ¨So, you have any names for it?¨ he asked. ¨I have a few, but no that I like,¨ he responded. Howard raised his brows, t& hen asked again, ¨Really? What are they? I bet they’re better than mine. Even though I’m letting you name it.¨ ¨Ifit’s a girl, I was thinking maybe Arely, Jasmine, or Monique. And a boy…well, not any. Maybe I’d just name it after you if it’s a boy,¨ he said. Howard was surprised, he’s name the baby right after him just like that if it was a boy. He leaned in& gave Adam a kiss on the head, & lowered himself to sleep.
Day three was here. Howard was sweating up a storm on the couch. He looked at Adam, who looked like he was suffering with those contractions. Adam was leaning on the edge of the door, his head & arms on the walls as he breathed heavily. His contractions were about an hour apart, & they needed to be about 20 or 15 apart so they could head to the hospital. He felt the baby get lower & lower to the bottom of his belly, the weight all going to his hips. It wasn’t as pleasant or humble as he expected it.
Howard walked beside his mate the whole time, rubbing his lower back to ease the pain down. But it didn’t ease it down, the contractions were unbearable, Adam struggled to not collapse down. But finally, the contractions were 15 minutes apart, & Adam asked for Gus to start the car up. Howard quickly ran to the room to grab his bag, & then left to start the car. He returned in a second, picked Adam up, & took him to the car. Gus shifted gears, & drove off to the hospital.
At the hospital in the delivery room, Adam continued to sit through the contractions, which now seemed to be on top of one another. Howard watched as his mate battled with the pain on the bed, only hoping it would be over for him soon. Adam only felt more pain & began to sweat a storm; the sheets covering his undressed body were getting moist of how much he was sweating. The nurse had to change his sheets of how damp they had gotten. But Adam only felt the urge to get up off the bed, & walk around the room.
¨Ohhh…¨ Adam moaned as he was leaning forward, his head on his arms, & his back hurting badly of how arched it had gotten. Gus could only just be there for his mate, rubbing his back to ease a bit of the pain. But after 30 minutes, Adam felt his water break, ¨Gogh!¨ he gasped as he felt it pour out & soak the floor. Howard quickly helped his mate back on the bed, & went to call the doctor.
Adam had his legs spread out & upon the stirrups, already getting the urge to push the baby out. Gus was turning on one of the hovering cameras he bought to record the whole moment. He then made his way to Adam’s side, & handed him his hand. ¨Ohh…I can’t take any more of this, I need to push,¨ Adam said as he felt ready to burst. ¨It’s almost over baby, just do the best you can,¨ Gus supported as he waited for the doctor to finish washing his hands.
The doctor then slipped on some latex gloves, & headed over to start the birthing. ¨Alrught Adam, when you feel the next contraction, I need you to give a strong push, as hard as you can, then stop after ten seconds to take a few breaths & do it again,¨ he explained to Adam who nodded just wanting this to be over. As Adam felt the next contraction, he put his chin on his chest & pushed as hard as he could. ¨Alright, great, you’re doing swell,¨ the doc said as he saw something. Adam took a few breathes & pushed again, counting to ten. ¨Come on baby, you can do it,¨ Howard said supporting as he felt his hand get crushed by Adam’s squeezes.
45 minutes passed, & the doctor began to see the baby crowning, Adam let out a yell feeling the head beginning to emerge. ¨Ok, I see a full head of hair coming, keep at it, try & push the entire head out on the next one,¨ the doctor asked returning to his position. Adam took a deep breathe, & pushed again on the next contraction. ¨Aahhh!!¨ He screamed as he felt the whole head emerge full. ¨Ok, the head it out,¨ the doctor announced. Howard turned to look at his mate, who looked beyond tired, ¨It’s almost out baby, just a little more,¨ he said to Adam.
After another hour, Adam pushed the rest of the baby out. ¨It’s out!¨ the doctor said pulling the baby out. Howard looked from his angle how his baby emerged from Adam, & he began to cry. Adam panted, sweating of how tired he was. ¨It’s a boy!¨ the doctor declared. The baby boy cried a loud cry, a sign of how healthy he was. Adam smiled weakly as he asked for his son to be handed over to him. Without hesitation, the doctor handed over their new baby boy over to his birth father. Adam held his son close to him, crying as he heard his baby cry as well. Howard leaned in to both of his boys, still crying, but then, the unexpected happened, Howard had a smile on his face. ¨Hello there little guy, I’m your daddy,¨ he said to his newborn son gently touching it’s head, & tears falling down his face.
The baby continued to cry as Adam looked at his mate, & noticed the smile on his face, ¨Howard, you…you smiled?¨ he asked feeling ready to cry some more. Howard nodded, smiling again, ¨Yes, I did, & it feels great,¨ he told his boyfriend leaning in to kiss him. The doctor then gently took their boy & went on to cutting the chord, drying & weighing him. After that, he wrapped him up, & handed him over to the nurse. She left with it, & the doctor asked Howard to step out the room. Adam then fell into a deep sleep.
Adam awoke the next day in a new room. ¨Morning,¨ he heard Hoard’s voice. He turned his head & saw Howard there sitting on the chair, smiling. ¨How do you feel?¨ he asked moving closer to the bed. ¨Much better, I feel like I lost 40 lbs,¨ he laughed holding onto Gus’ hand. ¨That’s because you did,¨ Howard pointed out, kissing his mate’s hand. ¨You looks so great with that smile,¨ Adam complimented looking at the smile Howard had. ¨I never even knew I was smiling when my son was born until you said it,¨ he said to Adam. ¨Well, now you’re smiling, I hope you do it some more. You just have the most adorable dimples,¨ he complimented Howard again smiling himself.
The nurse then walked in with their newborn son, & handed him over to Adam. She left, & closed the door behind her. Howard leaned in to look at the baby again, ¨He’s so handsome,¨ he pointed out stroking his son’s cheek gently with his finger. ¨He is, just like his big father,¨ Adam said referring to Gus. ¨He looks just like you too,¨ he stated. And he was right, their son had the grey hair, a semi-big nose, the same eyebrows, & even the same lips as Gus. The baby slowly opened his eyes, & revealing them to be like Gus’ as well. The only resemblance he had to Adam was the shape of his eyes. Howard had almond-shaped eyes, while Adam had them much bigger.
¨Here, you hold him,¨ Adam asked Howard handing his son over to Howard. ¨Ok…¨ Howard replied gently taking the baby in his hands. ¨Mind his head,¨ Adam said as Howard took the baby & looked at him. Then he asked Adam, ¨What will we name him? Or, you name him?¨ Adam thought for a moment, & that moment turned into 5 minutes. And then he had a name, ¨Bryson Howard Vanderbelt.¨ Howard looked up at Adam, ¨Is Bryson someone else’s name or did you just think of that one?¨ he asked curious. ¨Bryson was my older brother’s name,¨ he clarified to Howard. Howard liked it, his son was named after his birth father’s older brother, & him.
¨We made a handsome boy,¨ Howard said again gently kissing his son’s forehead. Adam smiled & agreed. Gus then rose from the chair & sat next to Adam & handed Bryson back to him. ¨I love you so much,¨ Howard said kissing Adam’s head, ¨You made me do something I haven’t in over 40 years, & for that, you two are the world to me,¨ Howard finished as he hugged Adam close to him, both looking at their new baby boy.
