Harold Jr. asked, answering his phone. "Good afternoon Harry, I just got finished talking with Mrs. Littrell and it seems that she's not willing to settle on the custody suggestions I made to her." Mr. Marshall stated. "Oh really? Does she think a judge is going to let her keep custody with all the shit she has put Brian through?" Harold Jr. stated. "Well regardless of what she thinks about any of that, she stated that she was going to fight Brian and the rest of you on everything we throw at her." Mr. Marshall stated. "Well she better get ready, I am not done throwing yet." Harold Jr. stated. "Did you tell her about the divorce being finalized and she lost?" "Yes I told her, but she stated that she was going to appeal everything." Mr. Marshall spoke. "Silly girl, doesn't she understand that there's nothing she can do. She did all of this to herself." Harold Jr. spoke, laughing. "Maybe I need to go down to the jail and talk some sense into her." "That wouldn't be advisable Harry. Let all of us lawyers handle this. You just make sure that Brian, Baylee, Jackie and Joey know what's going on." Mr. Marshall stated. "Will do. Is there anything else I should let them know about?" Harold Jr. asked. "Just let Brian know that he doesn't have to worry about Leighanne anymore." Mr. Marshall stated. "Good. I will tell him." Harold Jr. stated. "Thanks Howard for all of your help." "You are welcome Harry and don't forget that you and Alex owe me dinner." Mr. Marshall stated. "We will remember." Harold Jr. stated. "Thanks again." "Why are you smiling so much baby?" AJ asked walking over to Harold Jr. "The divorce is final and so far things are going good. The only thing that is hindering things is that Leighanne refused to sign any of the custody agreements that we offered her." Harold Jr. spoke. "Well what are you guys going to do now?" AJ asked. "Well first, I am going to tell Brian the good news about Leighanne, then me and you are going to go to our hotel and change for dinner, so we can take Howard out, then later, you know what we can do." Harold Jr. stated winking at AJ. "Hot damn, I am gonna get some." AJ stated laughing, wrapping his arms around Harold Jr. and kissing him on the lips passionately. "Down boy. You can get some nookie later, right now, I need to talk with Brian, Mom and Joey." Harold Jr. stated as he and AJ walked to Brian's room. // Brian's Hospital Room // "Hey bro, how are you feeling?" Harold Jr. asked as he walked into the room. "I am doing okay. I just want to get out of this place and go home with my boyfriend." Brian stated. "I got some good news for you." Harold Jr. stated. "What is it? Did the cops kill Leighanne?" Brian asked. "No, but it would be nice if they did." Harold Jr. stated. "It would wouldn't it." Joey stated. "Well the good news is that your divorce from that bitch is final. You are no longer tied to that ho anymore." Harold Jr. stated. "Really? Don't be teasing me man." Brian stated. "I am not teasing you bro. As of this morning at 8:55 am, you divorce was finalized. You are free." Harold Jr. stated. "Oh yeah. You and Joey will be getting married." "What! Getting married?" Brian screamed. "Calm down Bri. Yes you and Joey are getting married." Harold Jr. stated. "In order for Joey to adopt Baylee, he has to be your domestic partner or a relative. So he's going to be your domestic partner." Harold Jr. stated. "I thought you wanted to marry Joey?" "I do want to marry Joey." Brian stated. "I was just shocked to hear it right now is all." // Hospital Cafeteria // "Justin honey what's bothering you?" Phyllis asked as she walked over to his table and sat down beside him. "I don't want to talk right now Mrs. Fatone." Justin stated. "Are you looking to get slapped boy?" Phyllis asked. "No ma'am." Justin stated. "Then you better start talking." Phyllis stated. "What's bothering you Justin? I have never seen you act like this towards Joey or Brian, so what' s wrong?" "I don't know. I really don't know?" Justin stated. "Why were you so rude to Nick and Joshua?" Phyllis asked. "I thought you would have been happy for them." "I am happy for them I guess." Justin stated. "I don't know what was going through my mind." "I know what was going through your mind Justin, you are jealous Justin." Phyllis stated. "Justin are you gay?" "I don't know. I just don't know yet." Justin stated. "I have always had feelings for Josh, and when I saw him with Nick today, I kind of lost it." "So that's the problem." JC stated from behind Justin and Phyllis as he approached. "Josh!" Justin gasped as he got up from the table in a hurry and ran away. "You know what? You have strange timing Joshua." Phyllis stated. "I am sorry Phyllis. I just walked in overheard you two talking." JC stated. "I bet. Now how are we going to help him now that he is scared now?" Phyllis asked. "I don't know." JC stated. "Maybe he will talk to me. I didn't know he had feelings for me." "Well he does and now I bet he's upset because he feels things are going to change between the two of you." Phyllis stated. "Nothing's going to change between us. We will still be friends." JC stated. "That's the point, you will still be friends and nothing more." Phyllis stated as things clicked in JC's mind and he put it all together. "Damn. Oops, sorry that slipped out." JC stated. "It's okay baby. We need to concentrate on helping Justin right now." Phyllis stated. "There you are. I just saw Justin running towards the parking lot. Did you slap him baby?" Nick asked as he approached JC and Phyllis. "No I didn't slap him. He's still upset." JC stated. "Upset about what?" Nick asked. "Should I tell him Phyllis?" JC asked. "He's your boyfriend. That's something you shouldn't keep from him, but that's your decision." Phyllis stated. "Nick baby. Justin is upset because he has feelings for me and he doesn't know if he's gay or not." JC stated. "Ohhh. So that probably explains his attitude earlier today." Nick stated. "Yeah I guess so." JC stated. "So what are you going to do about it?" Nick asked. "I don't know." JC stated. "All I can do is talk to him and let him know that everything is okay. That no matter what, I will always be his friend." "That's all you can do for him Joshua. Justin will have to come to terms with this on his own." Phyllis stated. "He said he didn't know if he was gay or not, so he's going to have to figure things our first." "Well I am going to go find him and try to talk to him." JC stated as he kissed Nick on the cheek, got up and walked towards the parking lot. // 3 Hours Later // "Nick are you okay?" AJ asked walking over to Nick sitting alone at a table in the cafeteria. "I don't know." Nick stated. "Come on Nicky, tell me what's bothering you. I know that look anywhere." AJ stated. "I just found the best thing in my life and it's about to leave me." Nick stated. "What is that?" AJ asked. "JC Chasez." Nick stated as tears ran down his eyes. "JC? Where is he going?" AJ asked. "To Justin." Nick stated, as he was full out crying now. "Come on Nicky, I don't think JC is going to leave you for Justin. Justin isn't gay." AJ stated. "Yes he is. He just came out to Phyllis a little while ago." Nick stated through his sobs. "He went to go find Justin and talk to him and he hasn't come back yet. I bet they are off somewhere making out." "No they are not. Do you believe in the love that you have for JC?" AJ asked. "Yes I believe it, but I don't think JC fully believes it." Nick stated. "I have been in love with JC for like forever and now I have him only to see him go to Justin." "I tell you Nicky, JC isn't going to leave you. If you believe in that love that you have for him JC will be with you." AJ stated. "Listen to AJ you freak. I love you. How many times do I have to show you?" JC asked as he walked up behind Nick scaring him. "You came back. You came back to me." Nick stated as he got up and hugged JC. "Why wouldn't I come back?" JC asked. "Did you think that since Justin had feelings for me that I was going to leave you for him?" "Yeah he actually did the goof ball." AJ stated. "This boy has some security issues." "He does, but I am quite sure that I can solve those for him." JC stated as he sat down beside Nick and kissed him passionately on the lips. "Nick you are the one for me, not Justin. I couldn't love Justin like that, I see him as a little brother and that would just be gross." "See Nicky, stop all that crying. Your man is right there and he is kissing you and holding on you. That's all you need to worry about." AJ stated. ====================================== TO BE CONTINUED...
