A few weeks later

Slowly, you and Ryland settle into the new house. Michael helps you create a new nursery for Culum, which helps distract you from worrying about your lover. He was a sweet baby, quiet and always up for cuddles with his 'mother.' But at night, when your baby is sleeping, you lie awake and pray that your missing family will come home soon.

A week later, as you and Ryland were watching television together after putting Culum down for a nap, your faces flash across the screen. Your fingerprints were all over the house in Australia and now the world knows that, if they find you, they'll find the DeGray brothers. You also see your father in an interview, begging for your safe return. You start to cry softly, your heart aching at the sight of your father's tear-stained face. But this is your life now and you won't leave your lover willingly.

Two weeks after your faces are plastered on the televisions of the world, your lovers come home. You are in the nursery when you hear Ryland let out an excited yell and three very familar voices. Holding your newborn son, you rush down the stairs and into the entryway. Standing there are the DeGray brothers, bruised, tired, but alive. Ryland is wrapped around Maximus, kissing him desperately while crying. Tadd is laughing at his older brother, teasing him before he walks around him to go to a bedroom. Ezio has his eyes closed, finishing a cigarette. He only opens his eyes and sees you after it burns out.

He smiles at you and you rush forward, giving him a deep kiss. You only pull away when Culum gives a distressed whine, not happy with being trapped between the two of you. Ezio watches you and the babe with wonderfilled eyes, as if he can't believe that your son is actually here.

You grin at him. "His name is Culum." you say, "Closest I can get to Cum."

Ezio laughs and pulls you into another kiss before taking your son. He holds him tightly as you lead him upstairs, fully determined to show your lover how much you missed him.

You get to do that as soon as your son is put to bed, riding your lover hard into the night.
