Night Drives

Alex's POV

I heard someone knock on the door which made me snort loudly which woke me up and made Jack grumble and roll over and cuddled into my back throwing his arm over me.
My door opened and mum poked her head round.
"Alex, sweetie you awake?" Mum whispered.
"Yeah." I muttered and mum walked over and sat on my bed and she put her hand on my leg.
"Sorry I woken you up sweetie but can you keep an eye on the little ones? I don't want to ask you and put this much pressure on you.." Mum said but I stopped her.
"It's fine, I can watch them." I said sleepily and went to move but Jack just pulled me closer to him.
"Well that's if Jack actually lets me go." I muttered and mum chuckled.
"He's a keeper Lex." Mum said and I smiled.
"I know. Just hope he doesn't run." I said quietly.
"He won't. You two look pretty good together Lex. Be downstairs in half an hour okay. I'll feed the little ones so all you have to worry about is Freddie, Luna and Aurora, and Asher coming home." Mum said and I nodded which mum smiled and got up and walked out my room.

"Let me go Jack. I have the kids to babysit." I said and Jack grumbled and loosened his grip and I quietly got out of bed and looked down and saw I was in my pants and wasn't naked.
"Well at least I didn't fuck that bit up." I muttered to myself and put sweatpants on and pulled on a hoodie when I heard Jack wolf whistle from behind me.
"Christ how can you even think I'm attractive right now?" I asked and Jack chuckled.
"Your always look attractive to me. But you look really cute in the mornings." Jack said and smiled at me which I returned.
"Its way too early for you to be hitting on me." I said and Jack laughed a little.
"I can hit on you any time of day." Jack said and I rolled my eyes.
"Look you can come down whenever you want but I have kids to keep an eye on and a hungover brother to have to wait for his return. So I'm going to go downstairs." I said and Jack caught hold of my arm and pulled me onto the bed.
"Jack seriously, my mum has to go to the hospital in 5 minutes." I said and went to pull away but Jack pulled me back on him.
I frowned at him confused and Jack just pecked my lips and pulled back a little and looked at me wth a small blush on his face.
"So he does blush." I chuckled and Jack smiled and nodded.
I made Jack look at me and I kissed him softly which Jack returned.
"I'll be downstairs." I said quietly against Jacks lips and kissed him again and got off him and went downstairs.

Mum had been gone for a hour when Asher returned home looking really hungover.
"Good night Ash?" I asked and Asher groaned and sat on the counter.
"It was until I woke up next to some girl both of us naked." Asher said.
"Please say you used protection Asher." I said and looked at him.
"I dunno, I was too drunk to even know what I was doing." Asher said and I rolled my eyes.
"If the girl comes knocking on the door saying she's pregnant mum isn't going to be happy with you." I said and Asher sighed.
"You don't think mum and dad told you to wrap it before sex for no reason did you?" I said.
"Christ Alex I'm not talking about sex with you." Asher said.
"Why not? We both like sex, I just happen to like fucking dudes and not have the worry about getting them pregnant." I said and sat next to Asher who looked at me.
"I dunno, it's just different talking about it with you. You take it up the ass and I fuck girls." Asher said.
"Correction there Ash. I Don't take it up the ass. Just because I'm gay doesn't make me any different to you or Alaska. I just like dudes and their assholes." I said and Asher chuckled.
"I've fucked up haven't I?" Asher asked quietly.
"If the girl knocks on the door saying she's pregnant or dumps the baby on our doorstep then you fucked up. If not then I guess you haven't fucked up." I said and Asher smiled.
Asher rested his head on my shoulder.
"What's up?" I asked.
"Danny would of been 10 today." Asher whispered.
"I know, I miss him as well." I said and rested my head on top of his.
"I'm going to go and sleep this hangover off." Asher said and got off the side.
"If you need to talk Ash, I'm here." I said and Asher smiled as I got off the side and he pulled me into hug.
"I know I can talk to you." Asher said quietly and he let me go and he went upstairs and Aaron came running out.
"Come and watch cartoons." Aaron said and got hold of my hand and dragged me to the sitting room.

Dad came down from upstairs after having some sleep and released me from my babysitting duties and I went outside and sat on the rocking chair.
Jack was also sat outside and he smiled as I sat on his lap and rested my head on his shoulder.
"So my brother might have a girl knocked up." I said and Jack chuckled.
"It's not funny. It was bad enough when my parents found out I was gay." I said and looked at Jack.
"How did they find out?" Jack asked.
"Caught me having sex on the sofa." I said and Jack laughed.
"Ain't funny, I wasn't ready to come out the closet at 14." I said and hit Jacks arm.
"Oh well." Jack said and kissed me which I returned.
"What's does this make us?" I whispered against his lips.
"Being together? I dunno." Jack said and I sat so I was facing him.
"I'm up for that." I said and kissed him which made Jack smile.

"Alex, oh dear god I'm so sorry." Dad said and I chuckled.
"It's fine dad, what's up?" I said and turned round so I wasn't facing Jack but I was still sat on his lap.
"I don't like asking you to do this Lex, me and your mother have already asked to much of you." Dad said.
"Dad it's fine. I'll get flowers and put them on Danny's grave. I was meant to visit sooner but stuff happened." I said and looked down.
Dad smiled and left me and Jack alone.
"Who's Danny?" Jack asked.
"Danny was my brother but he was still born. He would of been 10 today." I said quietly.
"I don't know what to say." Jack said.
"It's fine, it just difficult when the day they died comes round." I said and Jack looked at me.
"Alaska isn't the oldest. My brother Chairle would of been 21 but he was killed in a car accident when I was 15. We was close so it made it harder to get over it." I whispered and I felt Jack kiss the back of my neck.
"Let's go." I said and got off Jacks lap and we t inside and got changed and went to the cemetery.
