Boys don’t cry.

Jack’s POV

Peter was taking us out to get stuff for Jayden as the dragon literally brought limited of stuff with her so it meant that Alex and Peter had to buy loads of new stuff for Jayden.
“Hey Lex, have you seen my black skinny jeans?” I asked as I walked into the room and found Alex was still flat out asleep with Jayden wiggling around and cooing beside him.
“Babe you need to wake up.” I said as I sat on the bed and tickled Jayden stomach which made him smile and giggle slightly which made me smile.
“That daddy of yours is very lazy.” I said and Jayden blew raspberries.
“Yeah he is.” I said and Alex sighed loudly.
“You bad mouthing me to the baby?” Alex asked sleepily.
“Nope, been saying all good things.” I said and Alex chuckled and opened his eyes and smiled when he saw Jayden kicking his legs out dribbling all over the place.
“You have the serious case of the dribbles.” Alex said as he tickled Jayden’s stomach.
“So your dad wants to go in about an hour.” I said and Alex sighed.
“Does he not realize I have myself and Jayden to get ready. I alone take an hour to get ready let alone how long Jay takes.” Alex said and I looked at him and smiled when he used the nickname for Jayden.
“I just need my jeans and then I’m ready so I can get Jayden ready while you sort yourself out.” I said and Alex smiled and he moved.
“Come on Baby boy lets get you sorted.” I said as I picked Jayden up.
“Babe you are a lifesaver.” Alex said as he kissed my cheek and he grabbed his towel and headed towards the bathroom.
I realize that I still needed my jeans so I took myself and Jayden to the bathroom.

“Babe.” I said as I opened the door to find Alex sat on the toilet.
“Can I not take a shit in peace anymore?” Alex said sarcastically.
“Damn your so grumpy when you haven’t had a shit in the mornings. Anyway I’m not here to talk about your bowl movements. Do you know where my black skinny jeans are?” I said and Alex sighed.
“Somewhere on the floor maybe, I don’t know now fuck off and let me shit in peace.” Alex said and I just rolled my eyes and walked out and went to shut the door before I opened it again.
“If it smells put some spray round.” I said.
“Yeah, yeah now fuck off.” Alex said as he looked at his phone and I just rolled my eyes again and walked back to the bedroom.
“Let’s get you sorted young man.” I said and found some baby clothes we had and got him dressed and nappy changed.
“So handsome.” I said as I left Jayden on the bed and went looking for my jeans but keeping a close eye on Jayden.
Alex walked back in the room 20 minutes later.
“Better now you have had your morning shit?” I asked as I turned round to see Alex naked looking for some pants.
“Really Alex? Poor kid is going to be scared for life.” I said and Alex looked at me.
“What, We’re all guys here and anyway he came out of my dick and he’s too young to remember it.” Alex said as he pulled his pants up.
“Such a grump this morning.” I said as I pulled my jeans up but Alex chose not to respond so he was in a bad mood for some reason.
“Baby what’s wrong?” I asked as I walked over and hugged him from behind.
“It’s nothing. I just need coffee and to wake up.” Alex said so I just let it slide and I kissed his cheek.
“I’ll go and make you a coffee and feed little man for you.” I said and Alex smiled.
“I knew this is why I love you.” Alex said quietly and I smiled and let him go and picked Jayden up and walked back over to Alex.
“Handsome just like his daddy.” I said and Alex smiled shyly.
“Morning goppy.” Alex said and I looked at him.
“What he woke me up really early this morning.” Alex said and I just rolled my eyes at him which made Alex chuckle.
“But you do look handsome little man.” Alex said and tickled Jayden foot which made Jayden smile and kick Alex’s hand away.
“Cheeky.” Alex chuckled.
“I’ll see you in a minute.” I said and kissed Alex which he returned and I left him alone and went to sort Jayden out.

“Lex look how cute these are.” I said as I picked some shoes up and showed Alex which made him smile so I’m taking that he approves of it.
“Babe don’t go overboard as we’ll have to buy new clothes in a couple of months if not sooner.” Alex said and I nodded getting his point.
“Glad you see you don’t care Jay.” Alex said and I chuckled as I walked over and looked in the buggy and saw Jayden fast asleep with his hands above his head.
“Hey since he’s quiet and fast asleep shell we pay for these and go and get a coffee or something.” I said and Alex smiled and nodded.
“Yeah sounds good to me.” Alex said.
“What sounds good.” Peter said as he joined us.
“Little man has fallen asleep so Jack suggested we go for coffee while he’s quiet.” Alex said and Peter smiled.
“Sounds good to me.” Peter said and I chuckled quietly to myself.
“You two done then?” Peter asked and Alex nodded.
“Yeah we’re done. Jack will literally buy the whole shop if he could so I think it is best if we leave.” Alex said and I looked at him.
“Hey I’m not that bad.” I said and Alex frowned at me.
“Yes you are.” Alex said and I pouted at him and Alex just rolled his eyes and turned the pram around.
“You can get the shoes if you want.” Alex said and I smiled and walked over to Alex and Peter and we went to buy the stuff and go for coffee.

We was sat in the coffee shop happily chatting when Jayden woke up and started to cry which made Alex jump but he quickly got over it and he checked on Jayden and took him out the buggy and sat Jayden on his lap where Jayden quieter down a little.
“You quieten down a little Yeah, not everyone enjoys hearing a crying baby.” Alex said to Jayden as carried on crying.
“In his bag is a bottle can you get it for me?” Alex said to me and I nodded and went looking through the bag and found the bottle and handed it to Alex who smiled a thanks to me and he gave Jayden his bottle which he took.
“I don’t mind doing that.” I said and Alex looked at me.
“You’ve had him all morning. My turn to have him.” Alex said and Peter chuckled and another person joined us and I looked up and saw it was Luna.
“Aw, That my little nephew? He’s cute.” Luna said and Alex looked up and smiled at her and Jayden looked at the sound on Luna’s voice.
“This is Jayden.” Alex said and Luna smiled.
“How do you even have a baby?” Luna asked and Alex looked at her.
“It’s called not covering my dick up when I was fucking a girl.” Alex said bluntly.
“And that’s why you become gay.” Luna said.
“I am gay. Wouldn’t be with oddball here if I wasn’t gay.” Alex said and moved his head in my direction.
“Technically your half gay.” I said and Alex looked at me.
“Shush.” Alex said and I chuckled.
Alex looked down and saw that Jayden had finished what he wanted of his bottle.
Alex stood Jayden up on his lap and he burped loudly which made us all chuckle.
“That’s my boy.” Alex said and Jayden stayed standing on Alex’s lap holding onto Alex’s fingers.
“How can you make cute babies? If it’s anything to do with the dragon then holy fuck the kid is lucky he has your genes.” Luna said bluntly which made Alex laugh.
“Hey and that’s if he’s even mine but hey ho I’ve got him now and I’ll try my best to be the best dad I can be to him.” Alex said and I looked at him and smiled and kissed his cheek and Alex looked at me.
“Wait what? What do you mean he might not be yours?” Luna said as she lent forward.
“Not the place or the time to talk about this.” Peter said.
Jayden was babbling loudly voicing his opinion which made Alex chuckle.
“Is that so, go and see aunty Luna I’m sure she would love cuddles with you.” Alex said and Luna smiled and she got up and walked round the table where Alex handed Jayden over to her and Luna face just lite up as she sat down and started talking to Jayden and I looked at Alex who had a smile on his face.
“Hey You two going to be okay to look after Jayden?” I said and Alex looked at me.
“Yeah. Go, I’ve got him under control.” Luna said.
“Yeah I’m not trusting a 15 year old with my son.” Alex said and Peter chuckled.
“Don’t worry I’ll be with them.” Peter said and I smiled.
“Why?” Alex just asked as he frowned at me.
“To sort Jayden stuff out.” I said and hoping Alex would take the hint.
“Yeah I don’t see why not, you sure you two are going to be okay with him?” Alex said taking the hint.
“Think Luna has stolen your child Lex.” Peter said and Alex smiled and he finished his coffee and stood up and I followed his lead.
“Everything he wants should be in his bag.” Alex said and Peter chuckled.
“I’m sure we can cope for a couple of hours. Go and do what you have to do.” Peter said and I smiled and caught hold of Alex’s hand and we went home with Jayden’s stuff.

“You know, we’re meant to be sorting Jayden’s stuff out not lead in bed after having sex.” Alex said and I chuckled as I ran a finger up and down Alex’s spine as he cuddled into my side.
“I missed out on sex last night, had to fit it in when the baby isn’t here.” I said and Alex chuckled as he sat up and climbed over me and pulled some pants on.
“What you doing?” I asked and Alex just looked through the bags.
“Got to sort Jays stuff out. Sort the draws out so I can put some of his stuff in there.” Alex said and I groaned and rolled onto my front and watched Alex as he sorted out the travel cot we got for Jayden to sleep in.
“Look at you brooding, it’s quite cute really.” I said and Alex sighed and looked down.
“There could be a chance he’s not mine Jack, I could be raising someone else’s baby.” Alex said sadly as he looked at the shoes I liked.
“Lex don’t say that.” I said as I sat up.
“Why? Because it’s true, the bitch was fucking my best friend as well as me, I bet that Jayden isn’t my son and Zack turned around and told her to fuck off and that he wasn’t going to raise Jayden so she came to me and tells me that Jayden is my son because I’m a fucking mug.” Alex said as he threw the clothes down on the floor.
“That shouldn’t matter Alex, that little boy needs you. You are the only person in his life that actually cares for him. Too me that is being more of parent then having sex and making a baby and pushing the baby out of a vagina. It’s about being there for the baby and at the end of the day. You will be seeing all of Jayden’s firsts and they will be missing out. You stepped up and became Jayden’s dad.” I said and Alex looked at me.
“How would you feel if this happened to you?” Alex asked.
“Yeah I would be heartbroken but I would step up and raise the baby if it was my child because at the end of the day that child could still be my child.” I said and Alex sighed and the front door opened.
“Boys we’re back.” Dad said loud enough for us to hear him.
“I just don’t want to get close to him only for someone to take him away from me.” Alex said and I quickly pulled some pants on and stood in front of Alex and helped him up and pulled him into a hug and kissed him which Alex returned.
“Think they will have to get past your dad first. But nobody will take him away from you.” I said quietly and someone ran up the stairs and knocked on the door which was open.
“Well you two aren’t hiding what you’ve done.” Peter said and I looked at him.
“How’s Jayden?” Alex asked as he sniffed and turned around.
“He’s fine, grumpy because he’s probably hungry. What’s the matter Lex?” Peter said sounding concerned about Alex.
“It’s nothing, I need to go and sort Jay out.” Alex said as he moved away and put a jumper on and went to walk out but Peter stopped him.
“I’ll sort Jay out, you need to talk to your dad.” I said and Alex looked down and nodded and I put some sweats on and I walked over to Alex and kissed the top of his head and went to sort Jayden out.

Me and Alex was lead in bed with Jayden lead between us, happily giggling between us and rolling over to me and then to Alex.
“You are such a clever boy.” Alex said happily and tickled Jayden sidle which made him throw his arms around nearly punching Alex in the face.
“Don’t be giving me the right hook young man.” Alex chuckled and he gently got hold of Jayden hand and kissed it which was making Jayden smile and he started to babble and put his foot in his mouth.
“You feel better after talking to your dad?” I asked and Alex looked at me.
“Yeah. But at the same time I just want Mum around. So she can see this little bundle of dribble.” Alex said and he looked at Jayden.
“Hey you know my mom has said you are like another child to her anyway.” I said and Alex smiled as Jayden began to slowly slow down and was getting tried since the only nap he had today was when we went shopping.
“He’s tired.” Alex said quietly as his gently ran his finger up and down Jayden’s back.
“Join the club kiddo.” I said and Alex looked at me and smiled.
“He’s asleep.” I whispered and Alex went to move but I stopped him.
“Let him sleep with us. He’s happy and flat out asleep. If he is anything like you if we wake him up he’s going to be a seriously grumpy baby on our hands and I can’t be dealing with a grumpy baby.” I said and Alex chuckled and he pulled the covers over Jayden so he doesn’t get cold.
“I have to give my cuddles up though.” Alex pouted and I chuckled.
“Cuddle the baby.” I said and Alex looked at me.
“It’s not the same as cuddling you and also I have the risk of suffocating him so it’s probably best if I don’t cuddle the baby.” Alex said and I chuckled.
Alex looked at Jayden and he smiled softly at him and messed with his hair gently.
“Babe.” I whispered and Alex looked at me.
“I promise I won’t let anyone take Jay away from you.” I said and Alex smiled and got himself comfy looking like he was falling asleep and Alex had his hand on Jayden’s back and I gently links my little finger with Alex’s.
