"And you don't think it's perfect timing? You moved in then Brody had his accident. I just think you're both made for each other." Sloan sighed wistfully and Callie laughed at him. "Hendry, you know your lovely fiance had a strange view in life don't you?" "Ah...that I do, and it's why I asked him to marry me. No dull days ahead of us." Hendry smiled smugly and that made Callie laugh. "Thank you, both of you just made today bearable. But maybe I should stay with Brody tonight." "Oh, baby, it's okay, Nurse Hottie is off tonight. We just have to arrive tomorrow before he does. Don't worry, I'm ahead of you. I checked his schedule with his fellow nurse. Oh...and the guy had a crush on Hottie Toby." Sloan looked proud of himself and Callie was pulled into Hendry's arms and she stayed there while they both waited for Sloan to finish putting away their leftover dinner. After Brody insisted, Callie had agreed to go back with Hendry and Sloan and promised him that she would go back to v
The next day Hendry saw Callie was getting all cozy and homey with his fiance, Sloan, while he was finishing up on work. He needed to go to the hospital in the morning and then go straight to the office from there. He was confident that Sloan would take care of Callie for them. There was something about his young man that Hendry noticed. Sloan had always been great in dire situations, he just couldn't handle doing nothing. This was why his fiance fought hard when Hendry told him to take time off from the office after his brother's assault. "Morning, I see that you're busy today. It's okay, you know...I can take Callie to the hospital and you can go to the office. You have morning internal meetings today, right?" Sloan asked when Hendry walked towards them. "You know I do. You set all of my appointments, but I can move them around. And to ease your mind, I have moved my morning meetings and fit them for my five o'clock then we'll just continue until we're done. I am sure my head depar
Sloan was nervous. Yesterday, time passed easily when he was having such a good time with Callie and Brody. He got to accompany Brody back to his place since as scheduled, Brody was able to go home the next day. Callie was fussing over everything making Brody irritated. Sloan couldn't help to notice how cute they were. They were like an old married couple already. To his comment, Sloan received two pairs of dagger-shooting eyes looking at him. "What? I just think they were both too cute." Sloan argued as he discussed the situation with Hendry. "I know, Sloan, but baby, you need to tone down on the cute comment when Brody is still hurting and Callie is a bit overwhelmed in taking care of her fiance." "Ugh, those two are just too cute, you'd say the same if you witnessed them." "I don't have to witness them when I know that they are always too cute together. Just like us." Hendry laid a kiss on his nape before Sloan felt the man press his front to Sloan's back side. His fiance's ho
As Hendry's family dinner was creeping in, he was busy with work and Sloan was going back and forth to Brody's to help Callie while also working from home and managing his schedule remotely. Hendry was going to call HR to tell them about the new development in their relationship, He just needs to talk to his parents first. Hendry needed to get things settled before Sloan got back to work on Monday because there was nothing he could do to stop his fiance from working. His mom already knew, thanks to Brody's mom who called after they visited Brody at the hospital. Hendry had confirmed his engagement to Sloan but provided nothing more. "Dude, you know Mom is going to interrogate and convince the hell out of you tonight, right? Maybe you should let Sloan skip dinner later." His youngest brother, Harvey, warned him after he finished his grilled chicken. Hendry was having lunch with his brother since their meeting had dragged and they had already lined their afternoon with another meeti
It has been more than one week since Brody was back from the hospital and Callie had been fussing over him like crazy. She loved him too damn much to watch him suffer. She had been a ball of nerves since the incident, but Brody was getting better and Sloan had come over more than enough to calm her down. Yep. She knew damn well that Sloan's visit was mainly for her benefit and she let their younger man help her in any way he could. "Where's Sloan?" Brody asked looking at the clock. "I'm here at your beck and call and you're asking for him?" Callie put her hands on her hips, totally teasing him when he knew that she was waiting on him too. It was Sunday and yesterday Sloan said that he'll be coming over with Hendry and also Brody's favorite bagels. "Hmm...never mind, I'm sure they're probably late. I shouldn't have expected more from those two newly engaged guys. I swear it's like the ring is igniting their already high libidos." He groaned when he slowly sat on the sofa. Brody has
Brody was more than excited about work the next day. It felt like the first day of work in such a long time, though he did come to work on Friday for a couple of hours. But on Monday he expected a full day of work free of the confinement of his home. His day went perfectly without a hitch. Brody's assistant gave him the rundown of the meetings that he needed to catch up. His dad did come to oversee the work, but since Brody keeps up with his work emails he wasn't far behind. Hours flew by and it was time for him to end his first day of work. He and Callie had a reservation at their favorite restaurant to celebrate. So he went home happily and got ready for his dinner date with her. But when they arrived, they were surprised to see Sloan and Hendry at their favorite corner. "Hmm...are you guys stalking us?" Callie asked, looking amused at both Sloan and Hendry who were enjoying their drinks. They looked like they were waiting for their dinner and were pleasantly surprised to see them
Callie had mostly been quiet since they got back from the restaurant. Her mind was busy thinking about Brody's mom's words. Yes, she did shame her, but not without reason, she thought. Her words made her recall their dinner date. Callie never kissed Hendry and Sloan in public on the lips. But there were always innocent little kisses here and there, and to public eyes, it may look friendly. Apparently not to Brody's mom's eyes. "Hey, Princess, stop that train of thought. I'm sorry about my mom's words. You know they didn't matter, right? Not to me. Not to us, the men who love you unconditionally." His words made her smile, though it didn't reach her eyes. Callie rested her hand on his chest as she rested her side on Brody's the moment he took her to sit on the living room sofa. "So, whose parents are we dropping the bomb first?" Callie's words had him dumbfounded that Brody needed a second to gather his next words. "Wait, so you agreed?" He asked, needing to reconfirm what he though
The morning started with Callie waking up, running to the bathroom, and puking. Brody was worried sick, trying to help her before Sloan calmly comforted her while Hendry took his best friend with him to the kitchen for much needed coffee. It was still dark outside, and Brody groaned seeing that it was still five o'clock in the morning. But then he remembered about Callie and was about to go back to check on her when she and Sloan walked towards the kitchen. "She'll be needing some tea and I need one of you to go to the twenty-four pharmacy and get a home pregnancy test pack." "A...test pack?" Brody sounded nervous which made Sloan roll his eyes. "You're going to be a great dad, Brody. But yeah, no need to get your hopes up. Just yet. Get the test pack first, okay? I've witnessed several of my sister's pregnancy scares. I was there both when she had positive and negative ones. Still, the quicker we know the less nervous Callie will be." Sloan explained as he took a cup for Callie's
Last night was one of the many nights Sloan knew he'd cherish for the rest of his life. Callie was beautiful, their lovemaking was profound and their husbands gave them orgasm after orgasm until his eyes closed as his body was lulled and he drifted off to sleep. Sloan would never in a million years imagine he'd have the perfect life. Being a house-husband was never his goal, but turns out raising their children with Callie was his purpose in life and it filled him with love and made him feel complete. "Are you sure we have everything?" Callie asked as she once again tried to convince Caden to wear his clothes. Hendry had Paisley ready and Brody carried baby Sean while his other arm was holding Evan ready to get to the car. They were all going to go to Brody's dad for his birthday lunch. Brody's sisters were already waiting at the house with their families. It had been three years since Brody's mom passed away from a stroke. With all the problems she caused, it was a miracle to have
Six years later "Sloan, honey, go... we'll stay with the kids. Just take Callie and Sean to the doctor. You've done this many times already, you know the drill." Livia scolded her son. Yes, Callie was panicking when baby Sean was running a high fever. Marlene, Callie's mom was visiting since she and her husband just got back from one of Callie's dad's business trips abroad. And just like most dotting grandparents, they were bringing gifts for their grandchildren. Their oldest grandson looked exactly like his daddy, Brody. At five years old, Evan was the perfect big brother for his twin siblings who liked following him around the house trying to annoy their big brother. The three-year-old girl Paisley has their mom's beautiful hair and eyes, while her twin brother, Caden, looks just like young Hendry with an attitude to match. The youngest baby was Sean, at one year old the little boy already had the same pout as Papa Sloan and a cry like he was given the best sets of lungs. "Papa
"Damn, you sure know how to pick the destination. So, did you pack skimpy bikinis and speedos for Callie and Sloan too?" Brody asked grinning at Hendry. Their man was solely responsible for choosing their private villa with a gorgeous blue pool, and stunning volcano views looking over the Aegean waters. Brody was impressed, he'd never stayed at Santorini private villas before. The place was beautiful, secluded, and definitely romantic. "Of course I did, though I should've thought about buying the ones with matching colors for Sloan and Callie, they sure can pull one hell of a strip show for us." The man chuckled and Brody joined him taking a seat on one of the sunbeds at the Villa's terrace with the gorgeous view of the water. Sloan and Callie were checking out the villa and also unpacking. By unpacking it meant that they were checking out what Hendry and Brody had packed for their secret destination honeymoon. Though Brody was told what kind of clothes to pack, he didn't know thei
Hendry felt something was wrong when Sloan was gone longer than he should. He said that he was going to the toilet. At first, Hendry was worried that their new husband might be sick, then he worried that Sloan was getting tired so he came looking for their new husband. What he didn't expect was finding out that Holden had Sloan pinned and was seconds away from raping their new husband on their wedding day. He held Sloan in his arms, as soon as the guards Oakley arranged for them to hire had managed to take control of the situation. Hendry was just glad that Oakley had advised them to hire extra guards with the high-profile guests Callie's dad was inviting. Though deep down Hendry knew that Oakley had been in the business long enough to know that anything could happen. The man must've learned about Holden from the many times he spends time talking with Sloan and Callie. Oakley is a smart man and Hendry was glad that they had him to take care of them on the most important day of their
Sloan never thought that his day of being a groom to another man was going to come so soon. Dating hadn't been an easy experience for him. He'd never thought he'd get to the point that he was about to marry not one but three most important people in his life. Though he legally would be married to Hendry, their commitment ceremony will include vows as the four of them become one in front of their closest family and friends. When the day finally came Sloan felt ecstatic. He felt his smile go up to his ears and he felt like he was about to burst into a dance and make himself silly like singing in front of everyone or singing in an empty room, just because he couldn't wait to get in front of people to sing his heart out. "Sloan, darling, you need to stop fidgeting." His mom scolded him like he was still ten and she was rightening his clothes cause little Sloan wanted to look his best for his end-of-year school performance. "I can't believe the day is finally here, Mom." "I know, baby,
"Callie, honey," she turned to Sloan and realized that they had arrived and he was waiting by the back passenger door, holding it open for her. Sloan held out his hand and Callie took it. She heard Sloan tell their driver to go home before he ushered her into the house. Callie felt something was off the second she and Sloan entered their home. Brody had called them earlier and explained to them what happened. Sloan had Googled the accident and saw just how damaging the situation was. There were videos of cars crashing into a truck, the devastation was so harsh that it got her thinking about how Hendry's car could be involved in the accident. It made her realize just how fragile their lives were. She was glad that Brody insisted on them using a driver that day since she knew that Brody would be too nervous to share the news before they got home. Callie was still shaken and Sloan knew that she needed their men. The place was too quiet for her liking. The stillness made her hurry in
Hendry was beyond relieved when Brody gave him a quick call and told him what happened before lunch. He listened while his future husband blurted about how his dad was divorcing his mom and was coming to the wedding tomorrow. The call didn't last long since Brody was going to have a lunch meeting with his family and talk more about their future without his vindictive mother. Hendry let Brody get back to his family so he could get back to his work. Hendry had a few contract proposals to approve and some internal documents to sign until it was time for him to meet up with his dad and Harvey. His mom might not be as strongly opinionated as Brody's mom, but she was keeping it to herself and that was making everything worse for herself. Hendry's dad had been coming less and less to the office because he was taking care of his mom. Harvey checked up on them, though he reported back with nothing good. "You know it's not your fault, right?" Harvey asked as he walked into Hendry's office. H
"Hendry, you don't have to come with me. My sisters will be there, I'm pretty sure the worst has passed." Brody explained as he got dressed. Callie and Sloan already left the house to pick up Livia and Marlene for their spa day with the moms. Brody felt the envy shimmering under his skin, he wanted his parents to be excited about his future too. But no... his mom had to ruin his happiness by trying to end her life as if his action had shamed her to her death. Lately, Brody had to exhaust himself at work just to get a good night's sleep. Though good would be pushing it. The sleep had been decent at best. Brody was still stressed over his mom, though he tried to concentrate on his relationship. He couldn't help feeling that he was making things difficult for his lovers though they kept on supporting him. He knew he'd be as persistent as them if it was the other way around. "I'm going to drop you off then, I have some work stuff to deal with. I might as well get more things done so no
It was one week after Brody's mom's incident. Sloan had felt how it affected them, the tension was there, making things slightly off-balance but he kept his head high and believed that everything would be good in time. Since they still thread carefully around Brody, Sloan decides to do the next best thing he can. He had arranged a nice lunch with Brody's sisters after inviting them for their bridesmaid dresses to fit out. Callie praised Sloan's plan as he threw in a spa day with Molly and Sadie afterward. "Well, I thought if we can make the sisters happy then Brody will have fewer problems to handle. I miss our Brody. I don't like this side of him." Sloan confessed as he nibbled his toast. Hendry had gone to work along with Brody, he had been dropping off and picking up Brody these past few days though their offices were on the opposite side of town. Both Sloan and Callie were glad that Hendry had decided to look after their man, making sure that he was not alone even if it was onl
