Our Baby Chapter 12

Chapter 12
Wolf and Falcon sat in a booth at their favorite restaurant. Wolf had just given their order to the waiter when he grabbed Falcon's hand. He looked falcon in the eye as he leaned his head down and kissed Falcon's knuckles. "Falcon, Marie told me about your talk with her. I am sorry, you should not regret being pregnant. In an attempt to make things better I have made them worse. I haven't been thinking about how my actions could make you feel. I haven't been thinking at all, I have been selfish. I hope you can forgive me."

"Wolf, I love you and I will forgive you. But you do need to stop it. I know what is and isn't safe for me to do. I would not do anything to rick the life of Crimson and Blade. I love them with my heart. They are a part of us both and I don't want to lose them. Did you really think I would use any of the cleaning products without reading to see if it could harm a pregnant person? The products I was using this morning were the safest ones out of my who artillery." He laughed when Wolf looked at him like he had three heads. "Relax Wolf, I would never even do anything if I thought it would hurt Crimson and Blade. Like I said they are my babies and I want to one day meet them, I want to hold them in my arms. I want to walk our little girl down the aisle when she gets married. And I want to congratulate Blade when he gets married and learns he will have children of his own."

"Well, I am sorry, the next time I act like that you can punch me. You can do anything, just make sure you set me in my place ok?" he laughed when he saw Falcon envisioning the chance he gets to hit Wolf. "Hey don't think about it too much, I was wondering if it was a bad idea. Now quit it before I change my mind." Falcon laughed and put his hands over his stomach. "Let me guess, they are moving now aren't they?" Falcon nodded. "So does that mean they forgive me too? I sure hope so, you have no idea how hard it is to apologize to someone you can't see."

Wolf was at work sitting at this desk when his phone rang. "Hello?"

"Wolf, this is David. I wanted to tell you that Tomas is going to court this Friday and they want you and Falcon there. I wanted to give you time to prepare Falcon. I know that it was hard for both of you. And also I wanted to warn you that they are using the photos of Falcon that was taken when he was at the hospital." David had been Wolf's friend ever since they were boys.

"Thanks David, I am glad you are watching out for us. I will do my best to prepare Falcon and I will do my best to keep him from killing Tomas too. I know Tomas is number one on Falcon's list of people to harm." He started laughing when he imagined Falcon kicking Tomas's ass. "Thanks David but I have to get back to work now. And if there is anything we need I will tell you. Bye David and thanks again." He smiled as he put the phone back in it's cradle. He could not wait for the day to end so he could go home and tell Falcon what was going on.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Falcon sat at home listening to the radio as he read a book. He looked up when he heard the doorbell. He got up with some effort and walked to the door. He looked through the peephole and got a surprise. He opened the door and embraced the person. "Oh my god, Tammy how are you? How did you find me?" Tammy hugged him and looked surprised when her eyes looked at his stomach. "Come inside, there is so much we need to talk about."

He led Tammy to the living room and they sat on the couch. "Well, in answer to your earlier questions I am fine. I just moved back into town and your mom said you live here now, she didn't tell me you were pregnant." She picked up falcons hand and looked at his wedding ring. "She also didn't say you were married now. What happened to you? When I left for college you still lived with your mom. I have been gone for too long. I thought I was supposed to get married first."

Falcon put his hand over his stomach. "I know Tammy, but things changed. You remember Wolf right?" She nodded.  "He is the man I married. We only got married a month ago. And I am 6 ½ months pregnant with twins. I am having a boy and a girl. We are so happy together Tammy. I will admit there are moments that he pisses me off but I really love him. I don't know what I would do without him. My life is perfect now." He rubbed his stomach lovingly.

"I am so glad to hear that Falcon. I am glad you are happy. Did you choose names for your son and daughter yet?"

"Yeah, Crimson and Blade." His smile seemed to get bigger.

"What is with you and weird names? I mean really, you always were like that even when we were younger. If I remember you had a hamster named Eternity." She laughed when he smiled at the memory. "Can't you ever be normal Falcon?"

"Now we don't want me to act normal, if I acted normal who would make you laugh? If I remember right you were always laughing at me when we were younger because I did things differently then you and everyone else." She laughed at him when he sat like a normal person would. "And if I acted normal I would not be pregnant either. Not many people are very accepting of a pregnant man. If not for Wolf, I would have killed them all by now. I am glad I am having my children, they mean everything to me." He looked at his stomach sadly.

"Hey what is it? One moment you are excited and now you are Mr. mopey. What is going on?" she rubbed her hand on his leg supportively.

"Well, a few months ago we almost lost the babies. Do you remember Tomas by chance?" She nodded. "Well, when I was about 5 months pregnant he tired to kill me and the babies. He would have succeeded if Wolf had not come home when he did. I don't remember much of what happened, but Wolf said he found Tomas shoving me into the wall face first. He called the police after knocking out Tomas and handcuffing him to the bathroom door. Luckily, the babies didn't get injured, but I did. It was so bad, my entire body was numb. I could not even feel my babies moving unless they gave me medication to take away the pain.  But like I said, they are perfectly fine now. yesterday I met Wolf's…I mean my nieces. They are so sweet, they also gave me an idea of what to expect with my babies." He rubbed his stomach affectionately. "Do you want to feel them move? It is wonderful." She nodded and he grabbed her hand putting it over his stomach.

She looked shocked. "Oh my god, that is wonderful.  If feels so cool. I can't wait until I find the person for me and we have kids. How are you not always touching you stomach? I would be doing that all day."

"Well, they aren't always moving. Most of the day they are sleeping. But whenever I am excited or relaxing they seem to wake up. They usually calm down when Wolf talks to them or if I start to walk around, they also love the hammock in the backyard." He looked up when the front door opened. "Stay here, I will be right back."

Wolf smiled when he saw Falcon walking to him. He set his briefcase on the floor and hugged Falcon. "Hey babe, how are you feeling?" He kissed Falcon before putting his hands over Falcon's stomach. "The kids are moving already? What they couldn't wait for me to get home?"

"That isn't the reason, we have company." Wolf looked confused. "A very good and old friend. We have not seen them since we were 19." He grabbed Wolf's hand and pulled him to the living room. "Wolf, I hope you remember Tammy?"

Wolf let go of Falcon and walked over to Tammy hugging her. "Tammy how have you been?" he looked at Tammy surprised at how much she had grown. "What happened to you? You used to be classified as weird like us, now look at you. You are normal, what happened at that college?" He laughed when Tammy punched his arm. "Well one thing hasn't changed; she still likes to kick my ass."

"Falcon told me congratulations are in order. I wish I could have been here for your wedding. He told me everything that has happened recently. I am sorry about Tomas; he used to be a nice guy. Why did he snap like that?"

The three of them sat on the couch and Falcon leaned against Wolf. "Because I left him. Tomas and I had dated for a while but he started to get controlling and possessive so I left him. A few months later Falcon and I started dating. It seems Tomas got jealous. Now he sits in the county jail. Oh and Falcon, David called today. He said that Tomas has a court hearing this Friday and they want us there. He told me now so I could prepare you. Are you up to it? They will be showing the pictures they took of you after the accident." Falcon just nodded. "If you want I can find a way for you to be there without having to see Tomas."

"No, I want him to see us and me. I want him to see that he didn't win. I want him to [ay for what he did and if that means seeing him again then I say we do it. If we can help put that prick behind bars then do it. I just hope he gets what he deserves."

"I want to be there too. I want to see what has become of Tomas. I used to be his friend and I want him to see that he has to get what he deserves. And Falcon needs as much moral support as he can get." She hugged Falcon and rubbed his back. "I am here for you buddy. We always stick together till the end." Falcon smiled when he remembered that was their motto.

"We would be glad to have you there Tammy. So I hope we will be seeing more of you now that you moved back. Where do you live now anyway?" he smiled when Wolf started to rub his stomach.

"I live in my parents old house. When mom and dad moved away, they sent me a letter in the mail saying the house was in my name. They knew I have always loved the house. I remember when I was a little girl finding and exploring all the hidden passages. It was a real adventure. Maybe one day you can come over for a no alcoholic party. What do you say?"

"That would be great Tammy, maybe we can have a party to celebrate Tomas getting what he deserves. What better reason to celebrate other than when my Crimson and Blade are born. And I doubt I can wait that long for a party." Wolf said with a smile as he looked at Falcon.

"That sounds great. So maybe on Saturday or Sunday we will party till we can't party no more. You can even bring Marie and her kids. I noticed I have really missed a lot. When I left Marie wasn't even seeing anyone, now she is married and has two girls." She looked at her phone when it rang. "Well, I have to go. It has been nice to see you two again. Let me know what time the hearing is on Friday. The phone number at the house is still the same. Just call me and let me know." She stood up and hugged both men before walking out.

Wolf noticed that Falcon had fallen asleep leaning against him. "You must have had a really exciting day if you passed out already." He leaned Falcon forward enough so he could stand. He picked Falcon up and carried him to their bedroom. He laid next to him and fell asleep with Falcon in his arms.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Wolf sat on the bed watching Falcon put on a pair of black pants and black shirt. Falcon pulled a black coat out of the closet and put it on. "Why do you always look at me like that Wolf? Do you think I will disappear or something?" He finished putting his coat on and looked at his reflection in the mirror before turning to look at Wolf. "I am not going anywhere anytime soon. I plan on being here to see Crimson and Blade off to their first day of kindergarten and I plan on seeing Crimson and Blade married. And maybe one day we will have another baby that we can shower with love." he walked over to the bed and sat next to Wolf. "Now will you get dressed? We are supposed to met Tammy at the courthouse in 30 minutes. Now hurry up or we will be late." He nudged Wolf off the bed and put on his sneakers as he waited for Wolf to finish dressing.

They got to the courthouse a few minutes before the hearing was gonna start. "Why are you two so late? We were supposed to be inside already, the hearing starts n 5 minutes. Now come on." Tammy led them impatiently into the courthouse and to their seats. Falcon was about to sit but stopped when he saw Tomas. Tomas looked at him with disgust. "You failed asshole, I am still here and my children are fine." He hissed between his teeth, but he knew Tomas heard him because of the way his facial expression changed.

The judge walked into the room and ordered everyone to sit. "Tomas Johnson you are charged with attempted homicide of three people and aggravated assault. How do you plead?"

"Not guilty." Tomas said with a smile. He planned on making Falcon suffer through every memory.

Wolf put his arm around Falcon to keep him sitting and Tammy put her hand on his leg. "That fucker is lying Wolf, you and I know he is lying. He tried to kill me and the babies. He lied and I hope that he gets what he deserves."

"I know that Falcon, now clam down. I don't want to take you to hospital for a panic attack or something of that nature. We will see that he gets what he deserves, don't worry about it." He noticed Falcon was breathing faster than he was a few minutes ago. "Falcon pay attention to me and take deep slow breaths. You are needed to make sure he pays, and they can't know what happened unless you are here. Think of the babies and take deep slow breaths. You will start to hyperventilate or pass out if you don't." Falcon did as Wolf said. "Good, are you ok now?" Falcon nodded. "Alright, now pay attention, it's getting started."

David stood and called Falcon to the stand. Falcon stood and walked forward with his head held high. "Falcon, can you tell the people in this court room what happened the day in question?" He nodded. "Then please do."

"Wolf had gone to the store to get a few things. I was sitting on my bed reading a book. I heard the front door slam against the wall as if it was kicked open. I knew right away it wasn't Wolf; he had no reason to do that. I heard things being thrown around in ever room. The sound of things breaking slowly came closer to me. The door to my bedroom was kicked open and Tomas was in the doorway. He looked at me with hatred. I put my hands over my stomach in fear for my children. He talked to me and grabbed my hair and yanked it making me arch backwards. He put his hand on my stomach and smiled. He said he was lucky cause he could end everything then. I begged and pleaded for him not to hurt the babies and he refused. I didn't care what happened to me, but I wanted my children to live. He pulled my hair making me fall to the floor. I rolled onto my side right before I hit the floor. Tomas let out a sigh of anger. He went to kick my stomach and I rolled onto my other side. He ended up kicking my back. He kicked me again but this time it was my chest. He was getting annoyed that he had not landed a shot to my stomach. He picked me up and threw me into the wall making sure my stomach got injured. I heard Wolf yell at Tomas telling him to let me go and Tomas said no before throwing me into the wall again. That is the last thing I remember, I woke later in a hospital bed with Wolf standing next to me." Falcon said as he hand went protectively to his stomach.

"Thank you Falcon, you can go sit back down now." David said; he helped Falcon down. "You did great Falcon, it will be ok." He whispered into Falcon's ear as he led him to his seat. "Your honor I would like to show the members of the court pictures of Falcon I had taken while he was in the hospital. The pictures were taken an hour after the accident." The judge nodded and David turned on a projector. Falcon hid his face in Wolf's shirt as the pictures were shown. Tammy had her hand over her mouth in surprise at how badly Tomas had hurt Falcon. The entire time Wolf was shushing Falcon telling him it was ok. When the slide show of photos was over, he told Falcon it was ok to look again.

The hearing went on for anther hour before the jury was led away to come to a decision on what to do with Tomas. They came back half and hour later. "Your honor, we have deliberated over this long and hard, we looked at every angel of the trial and have come to a decision. We sentence Tomas Johnson to life without the chance of parole."

Falcon smiled when he hear the news. He looked at Tammy and Wolf with tears in his eyes. "We did it, we won. The babies will be safe, nothing bad will ever happen to them." He hugged Wolf and Tammy at the same time. "Well Tammy, what time is the party?"

"Tomorrow starting at noon and ends whenever we choose. And like I said bring Marie and the kids, we have a lot to celebrate." The three friends left the courthouse arm in arm. Once to the parking lot they went their separate ways to their cars. "Remember my house at noon, I even got the pool filled a few days ago."
