ECHOES OF LOVE 152
Liam sat up on the bed just staring at the man sleeping beside him, the center of his world, he could spend all day and night staring at him without getting tired, that's how much hold Jordan had on him, this beautiful man that he didn't know what he did to deserve, he watched him turn on the bed and smiled as he struggled to overcome sleep."Good morning my love,"Jordan greeted when he finally opened his eyes, with a smiling face, Liam placed his hand on his cheek, staring at him, he loves him so much he just wanted to show him just how much he meant to him, he wanted to give him the whole world and make him happy forever, Jordan was his lifeline and he wasn't even kidding."Why are you looking at me like that?"Jordan asked shying away, Liam didn't let him, no way was he going to act shy with him now."I love you,"He said."I know, is that why you are looking at me like that?""Yes, I love you and I love you us not enough to say just how much I love you, I wish there was another w

"When are we going to be done with the crying party?"His dad asked obviously tired of the crazy exchange of words but Liam loved the moment and he wanted to keep the memory."You men should not have bothered coming because of what use is your coming here? The least you could do is shush, and let us have our moment with our son since you are not into it."His mom scolded his dad who did the imaginary zip code thing and sat next to Jordan's dad who choose not to say anything in the first place, honestly, his family was love and he would miss them in the few days he was going to be away, he just hopes he wakes up early so that he can be a full-time part of this chaotic irregular family that meant the world to him."Thanks the moms and the dads for coming and don't fight guys, one love, let's keep the love and I will go and come back,"He said hugging his two moms, Jordan joined in the hug, he heard the clicking of a camera and raised his head to see Jordan's dad taking a photo."For onc

Sitting outside while waiting for Liam's surgery to be done was hell for Jordan, he didn't realize just how nerve-wracking it would be until he had sat hours there just waiting for the medical team to get out of the operating room, yes he knew it was major surgery and it would take time but the hours seem to slow down even more since he has been sitting here, it has only been over two hours, it was as if the hand of time was slow on purpose, he didn't want to sound stupid so he chooses not to say w word, their parents left a little while ago, and Liam's parents will come back later, he didn't want to leave so he had stayed behind, maybe he should have left with them, Maybe the time would have moved faster.He got up and walked out of the theater entrance, he took a turn and walked downstairs, the hospital was huge so it would be nice for him to take a walk just to clear his head, that was bringing up annoying scenarios that were very not what he needed right now."Oh my gosh, Jordan B

"It will all come out fine, I have faith, so should you my boy,"She said and they continued eating in silence, after lunch, Jordan went back alone to where he has been seating since the surgery started while Liam's mom decided to take and all he could do was sit there and hope, when evening rolled in, Liam's mom once again came to drag him to eat dinner, which was even worst than lunch, because lunch hit had still been fresh, but dinner, it has been hours and still not a soul has walked out of that operating room, Jordan went back with Liam mom, a few minutes later, the door to the operating room finally opened and the doctors walked out, Jordan dumped up to his feet, they all looked exhausted but that didn't stop him from asking questions."Doctor? How is he? How did it go?"He asked and the head surgeon smiled making his heart feel at peace for the first time today."It was a success,"He said and Jordan heard Liam's mom don, he couldn't hide the tears that dropped down from his ey

A week after Liam's surgery and there was still no sign of him waking up, at this point, Jordan couldn't help but be worried, he just wanted him up again and back to him, he couldn't keep staying in the hospital because he was slowly losing it just sitting there and watching Liam so this morning, he had called Katrina and she agreed to meet up with him, that didn't mean he left the hospital, no, he was currently sitting at the cafe near the hospital waiting for Kat to show up, she was almost there, he picked this cafe because it had private booths where they could talk and not be noticed by other people, it was more like a workspace may be for intern doctors, he looked up again to see if Kat was around and spotted her walking into the cafe, he pulled the blind so that she can see him and waved her, she waved back."Hey best friend, how are you doing? Sorry, my bad,"She said when she saw his mood."Seat down pregnant lady,"He said trying to light up his mood, not like it was going to

It was both shocking and fascinating to feel the movement and for a moment he forgot all his sadness."Yeah, that's a new life in there, just think of it and see that it is taken it time because he is trying to fix himself and perfect himself, think about Liam doing the same thing, he had struggled with this condition for so long, of course, he will want to fix everything before he comes back,"Katrina said and it made sense even though she was just saying to give him a reason to cheer up but it made so much sense, Liam has been sick since he was little and this sickness gas been in him, of course, he would like to take his time to heal and be whole, he needed to keep that in mind."Thank you best friend, I am grateful,""Don't mention, you helped me through my rough times too, we have always been there for each other, if not that I am now, you know, I am supposed to be there for you every minute of the day,""You don't need to be, I am grateful for this, and again, I met Riley and sh

“Doctor? I just want to know, what are his chances of waking up anytime soon? Because I don’t even know what to think anymore, you guys are not giving me answers and I feel that there is more to this that you are not letting on, you are not being honest to me and it’s not fair on both of me and Liam,”Jordan lamented as he sat in the doctor’s office more than three weeks after Liam’s surgery, three weeks of him sleeping and not even blinking or moving his eyes, Jordan couldn’t get the fact that the doctors were not telling him the full details, the feeling was just there and he couldn’t shake it off no matter how much he tried to.“We are doing the best we can but this doesn’t look like anything we can do to change anything right now, so far all his analysis results came out okay, and his MRI is good too, why he is not waking up is beyond what we can say,”The doctor revealed.“There has to be something wrong which is why he is not waking up, by the end of this week it will be a month

Jordan walked back into the room after eating to meet Liam’s mom there, she had been in and out of the hospital recently, they were both allies in this and he just knew how much this was doing to her too, she tries to hide how affected she was by the present situation but he could see it, and now watching her whisper to her son and not knowing he just entered the room made it, even more, sadden, he wished again that Liam would just open his eyes and make this whole shits go away, he was the only one that could fix this sadness that has descended on them.“Mom,”He called and she turned to him with tears in her eyes, his heart went to her when he saw them but she quickly wiped them off and forced a smile.“I didn’t know you were back, how are you Jordan?”She asked getting off to sit on the sofa in the room, Jordan sat next to her.“I am good, I didn’t know you were going to come around today,”He said looking at her, she looked away, sadness in her eyes making him emotional."Mom, don

The moms are going to send the babies to bed,"He said pulling away from him and reaching out for his hand."Sure, I will love to,"Jordan said and they both walked down the part, taking small steps and just feeling each other's presence."The weather is so nice today, it has been nice all week,"Jordan said. Liam looked down at him and smiled happily, it's been over two years since they got married and not for one day in those two years did he ever regret marrying this man, his world would not have existed if he had not fought to win him back and everyday he wakes up, stare at him in bed and thank his stars that he got him back, for him, the weather have always been good since the day he got Jordan back in his life, there hasn't been a single bad wea

"What do you mean the babies are coming? And how are they coming on the same day or are you pranking me? We still have two weeks right?"Jordan asked but he was already on his way out of the office, he didn't bother to wait for the elevator and just took the stairs, they weren't expecting until next week and this was so sudden and unexpected."I am not pulling a prank on you idiot, May is in labor and she just called,""Oh, I thought you said both of them,""No, meet me at the hospital okay?""Sure, I will be there soon,"He said and Liam hung up without another word, okay at least it wasn't the two women at the same time, he quickly got into his car and zoomed off towards the hospital, on his way there he said a little prayer and hoped that everything will go well and by the end of today they will have one of their pretty angel with them."Liam!"He called when he got into the hospital and found him sitting alone."Hey, baby,""How is May?"He asked."I don't know, we just have to wa

"Honey, you better hurry, or we are going to be late,"Liam yelled for Jordan who was still upstairs, they have been married for more than three months now and his life has been the happiest in those times, waking up each morning to Jordan was how he was meant to live his life and that's how he wanted it to be, today, they were meeting up with the surrogates, they decided to do both at once because they wanted to raise their first children together, Liam loved that they would start their own family soon and they were able to get two beautiful women to help carry their children, after this meeting, the process would start officially, all test and everything related have already been done so yes, they were going to be parents of two lovely kids in a little less than a year if everything goes as planned."You are more eager to do this than I thought, how are you so hyped up in the morning?

"I can't believe my best friend is going to get married, wow, I am so happy, this is the best thing that had ever happened to me,"Katrina said when she walked into his room, he rolled his eyes at her."Yeah, right, so you mean you pick this moment over your own wedding and when your two devil-angels Steria and Moon were born? I will like to see you say that when Lucas is here,"He teased."Why can't you just let me have a man? Why do you always have to be such a show spoiler? I was having fun and you just had to mention the reasons for my sleepless nights,"She said with a sad pout."Oh, I am going to add that to the list of things I am going to gossip to your husband,"He said and she glared at him."Are you my best friend or are you Lucas's spy?"She asked laying on his bed."That's the bed I spend almost every night ticking Liam on,"He announced and she was up in seconds, brushing the invisible stain off her body with a disgusted look."What the fuck? You could have warned me or
ECHOES OF LOVE 209
Liam rolled over on the bed and smiled when his body came in contact with another, he popped his eyes open to see Jordan sleeping peacefully beside him, memories of the night before flashing through his mind, he couldn't believe it, they were good again, he got him back, Jordan was his again, and his life just got better."Why are you looking at me like that?"Jordan asked as he opened his eyes, Liam felt his heart skip a beat, they never really resolved anything, all Jordan had said was for him to kiss him, what if this wasn't what he thought it was, what if Jordan just wanted them to have sex? He really didn't like the direction his mind was going and shook off the thoughts."Now why are you frowning so early in the morning? Did you have a bad dream??""No, I just, I am just,""What? You are lost for words? Good, that means I did well,"Jordan said touching his face, he still couldn't believe that this was all real, he knew he needed to apologize for real now, so he sat up."Jordan,

Jordan looked up from what he had been doing when his phone rang, he checked who it was and dropped the phone back, it was Liam's mom calling him, he didn't know what to tell her, what could he say when he told his son to fuck off, maybe she wanted to tell him to stay away from her son, he knew that wasn't possible, the phone stopped ringing and he went back to working silently but a few minutes later, it rang again, this time, he decided to pick up."Good day, mom,"He greeted as he walked out of the office towards the resting area, thankfully, no one was in, he entered and sat down."Hi, son, I am sorry to disturb you,"She responded."It's not a problem mom, it must be urgent since you are calling me, what is it?"He asked even though he already had an idea of what she might be calling for."His are you doing Jordan?"She shows shocking him, he shouldn't be shocked by her caring, she has never stopped, ever since Christmas, when she had gotten his contact again, she had made sure t
ECHOES OF LOVE 207
Like he expected it wasn't going to be easy getting Jordan back but that didn't mean he wa going to give up, no he wasn't, Jordan endured a lot and him giving up right after the first rejection would be him not trying at all, he wasn't going to back out until Jordan takes him back, he didn't want live life without him by his side, there won't be a reason for his living then.Once again he was at Jordan’s apartment waiting for him even after he has been rejected every day for the past two weeks, he just couldn’t give up, he saw Jordan’s car and got out of his, running to him before he could enter his apartment.“You are here again? What the fuck?”Jordan asked glaring at him.“Yes, I am,”He answered.“Why can't you just take a hint and leave me alone? Stop coming here, stop trying please just stop, there is no point doing all of these, I won't go back to you, I have made up my mind and nothing you can do will change that,"Jordan yelled at him."Please don't push me away Jordan, I beg

"What? What do you fucking have to say to me now Liam? What?"Jordan yelled at him, he couldn't even bring himself to believe that this was even real, that Liam was here, and that he was finally whole, that he finally remembered."How could you leave just because I asked you to? You said you love me Jordan, that you will never leave me but you did, you fucking left me and took all traces of us that would have let me remember anything from me, there was no sign of you in the house we shared, nothing, and you went away,"Liam let out, Jordan couldn't believe he was saying all these to him after everything he put him through, right now he had a lot on his mind, Kat went into labor when they were on the phone together and he was worried about her.“What are you even talking about?”“Why didn’t you stay? You said you would no matter what,”Liam said."You didn't give me the chance to stay Liam, don't talk like I just left you, you told me to get off your face, you told me I wasn't welcomed
