Chapter 27

Mark's POV

We decided to head back to Gary's, because the sky started to turn dark like there's going to be a massive thunderstorm. "Do you want a coffee Gaz?" I ask limping to the kitchen using now only one crutch giving myself a bit of practise.
"Ayyy easy Mark. Are you sure you can cope with just one?" Gary fusses around me. I hate it when people cause a fuss when there's no need.
"Babe i'm fine honest. Put the kids a film on and i'll get us some drinks to warm us up, yeah?" Softly i peck him on the cheek heading to the kitchen to put the kettle on. Today has been great. It's like our own little family. Daddy Mark and Daddy Gary. I smile to myself whilst making the drinks.
"Right kids....which film shall we watch?" Gary asks as i enter the room carrying two hot mugs. He instantly stands up taking them from me. "Sit mister." He orders. To be honest i am feeling rather knackered. It's the most i've done the past few weeks.
"I wanna watch Harry Potter!" Luke bounces up and down on his bum.
Lucy shakes her head. "Noooo! I want to watch erm....Ice Age!"
Gary scrolls through the movie channels on his plasma. "Ooooh! Up's on! Can't beat a Disney!" Holding my stomach a little to stop the burning sensation from my wound i laugh at him. He's like the third child.

Luke lays on the bean bag with Lucy on the floor. Already Lucy looks like she's about to drop off sometime soon. The movie starts showing two young children who become friends they fall in love grow old together then wife of the man's dies. Gary sniffs a little causing me to look up. A few tears leave his eyes. "Daddy! Gary's crying!" Lucy looks at me.
"Aww Gaz are you ok?" Softly i stroke his arm. Quickly he wipes away his tears trying to hide the fact he cries over films especially Disney's.
"Huh what no i'm not.."
"Cryings for girls....." Luke giggles.
Trying not to laugh i look at Gary. "Are you sure you're ok?"
"Yes.... just had something in my eye." Gary grins a little. "I'll get us popcorn."
Gently i kiss him on the lips before he stands up. "Awwwh."
"Ewwww kissing's for girls too!" Again Luke laughs whilst laying on the beanbag.

Soft pattering of rain sounds against the window causing me to open my eyes. I must of fallen asleep. The film's finished and everyone's fallen asleep. The kids fast off on the beanbag and Gary sound asleep resting against his hand. Shit the kids needed to go home Emma will be worried. "Gaz...Gary?" Gently i nudge him.
"Huh? Who? What?" He flinches snapping his eyes open. "M...Mark? What's wrong?" Rubbing his red eyes he looks at me.
"Erm... did Emma say what time the kids needed to go back?"
Gary stretches his arms out. "I asked if they could stay over and she said that was fine." He looks at the pair fast asleep on the floor. "Bless i'll take them to the spare room... erm...is that ok if i carry them up?"
"Gary you don't need to ask that. You're my boyfriend you're technically family." A soft yawn leaves my lips.
"Want me to carry you too?" He raises his eyebrow whilst lifting Luke into his arms heading towards the door.
"Nah i'll make my own way up in a sec." I sigh happily watching Gary carry Luke to bed. This is amazing i couldn't be happier.

Gary's POV

"Sweet dreams mate." Softly i kiss Luke's forehead tucking him into bed. I love spending time with Mark's family. As stupid as it sounds i actually felt part of the family almost like it was our family... i sigh a little feeling my phone vibrate in my back pocket. (1) new message - Rob. My heart beats faster in my chest the feeling come back again. Feelings i can't describe...strong feelings. In my head i feel like a teenager again. My finger moves over to the open button. 'Hey Gaz... i miss you... please i've got to see you again soon... i can still feel your soft lips... R x' Reading the message over and over until i feel i can no longer control my fingers i type a message back. 'I miss you too....' 

Taking a deep sigh i sit on the spare bed which Luke's fast asleep in. What am i doing? After such a great day with Mark and the kids. I can't loose this i can't loose Mark.... but Rob.... i feel something... his name gives me flutters... i don't want to be a cheater.... i'm so confused...
