The Lightning Strike
by AHS


Ad Infinitum:
Painted in flames
All peeling thunder
Be the lightning in me
That strikes relentless



Wake up… Brian, wake up.”

Brian’s eyes opened to pure blue… and he felt his heart start again. Too fast, but at least it had a reason to beat.

“Justin.”

He touched soft blond and warm skin and wrapped around tightly, feeling his dick pressing against Justin’s stomach… flat stomach.

Justin was already wondering at wetness around Brian’s eyes and now wondered at the sudden panic and confusion in them.

“Jus- no, where’s the-”

“Shh, it‘s okay.” Justin kissed Brian softly, with safety and reality, brushing away remnants of tears. “It’s okay, promise. Nightmare?” Justin wrapped the duvet around him. “You’re shivering.”

“I…” Brian sat up, looked around. They were in their bedroom at the house. He made Justin lie back so he could look him over, head to toe. Beautiful, worried eyes. Wedding ring. No blood. No baby. “You were… hurt,” he choked out.

“Brian,” Justin whispered, holding him, holding him, holding him as his breathing slowed, eased. “I’m not hurt. I’m here.”

“You… both were.”

No, there was a baby. Brian knew there was. He wasn’t that confused.

Justin looked at him, so sadly, understanding. Then shook his head, happiness slowly replacing. “We’re fine. I’m beyond fine, actually, because he is on his way!”

Brian’s head was starting to clear. “He is?”

“I’m sorry, I let you sleep after the phone call because she said we had a while to wait, and you looked peaceful at the time. If I’d known, I would have woken you, but… Tessa’s in labor!”

Tessa. Their surrogate. Brian finally felt himself fully back in the real world. And grinned. “Fuck yeah.”

“We’re parents, Brian. Holy shit.”

“Eloquently said.”

They just stared at each other a few moments, in joy and amazement. Then Justin jumped into gear. “Her sister’s taking her to the hospital, but I said we’d meet them there right away. Come on, we’ve got to get ready!”

“It’s bizarre, you know. You this awake at… fuck, 5:54 in the morning?”

“Kind of a special occasion! Shower, let’s go!” Justin started to pull Brian into the bathroom, then stopped suddenly. “Wait. Shit, I’m… I got caught up, and I figured you wouldn’t want to talk about your dream, but it seemed… bad.”

“Not all of it.”

Justin laid his palm against Brian’s cheek. “So, are you really okay?”

Brian had been in hell just a few minutes earlier, but once his consciousness had caught up and Justin’s arms were around him, it was a different story. He nodded, taking Justin’s hand. “I’m good now. You kidding? I’m fucking incredible. Not only am I happy, I’m equipped to deal with said happiness. What do you think of that?”

“There is an awful lot happening today. Maybe we could do with a little last minute session? I could call Alex…”

“The only kind of session I need is in the shower with you. What could possibly be our last completely uninterrupted fuck session for the next eighteen years, and I plan to make it count.”

“Brian, we have to get to the hospital!” Justin insisted, resolve wavering as Brian sucked on his neck and sank fingernails into the under curve of his ass. “Well… her contractions were still nine minutes apart…”

Brian laughed, pleased at getting his way, and thinking of how roomy the large shower would once again seem. “Love you, you know.”

“I do know. I know everything.” Justin kissed Brian quickly, pressing “loveyou” onto his lips.

“But I don’t care how much I love you,” Brian added a minute later, turning on the water. “No more of your Nick at Nite marathons. Fucking Bill Cosby.”

Justin did a double take, giggled as he stepped under the spray. “What the hell did Bill Cosby do to offend you? Besides the ugly sweaters.”

“That episode. You know the one. The… pregnant men.”

Justin blinked, then went into hysterics. “Oh- my God,” he gasped.

“Shut up before you drown.”

“Sorry, um… Which one of us… was…?”

“YOU, obviously!”

“Why is that obvious?”

“Hmm, let me show you.”

Their shower was stocked with lube but no condoms, never needed again, and halle-fucking-lujah. As Brian pushed inside Justin, bare, pure, he couldn’t help but thank a higher power he only seemed to believe in when he was inside Justin (the truly fucking holy place) that he had Justin… that they lived in a world where “birth control” was not a necessary phrase, at least for them… where they could fuck like animals, thin and fabulous, through the whole damn nine months of pregnancy, even labor if they so chose (Justin wouldn’t)… and, in the end, they still got to bring their baby home.

I want to see you
As you are now
Every single day
That I am living

Thank you! :)

Im so glad I read this,,but shit what a twist at the end:)

I was kinda hoping it was true & that Brian would be there when Justin delivered the baby.

& I soooooooooo wanted it to be a girl & to read about BK falling in love instantly with someone who wasn't a "male" :)

Great job, you really made my night,,I just thought it was a little rushed in the end,,I guess I like mushy endings in the delivery suite,,later Jx

PS Fantastic writing btw,,I never felt put off reading this at all & I never read impreg,,maybe I just liked yours:)

[identity profile] wouldbedorothy.livejournal.com 2010-05-13 10:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Lol, love your icon.

I haven't read much mpreg myself, but I was making a conscious effort to be different and not copy what I have read (most notably violette7's Little Ray), so that's why I decided not to make it a girl.

It was always going to be a dream, though originally I'd thought it was Justin's. I realized it had to be Brian's dream, especially when fear for Justin's life came into it.

Ending was still mushy, right? ;D Thanks for reading, J!

This was really amazing hon! You did a wonderful job.
This story is full of love, is funny, is really well written.
The end was a surprise, but a good one =)

[identity profile] wouldbedorothy.livejournal.com 2010-05-13 10:19 pm (UTC)(link)
AWW YAY! Thank you much!! :D

[identity profile] qaf-fanatic.livejournal.com 2010-05-13 03:15 pm (UTC)(link)
I was neither squicked nor disgusted by any of the previous chapters. And i hate the 'Dallas' style ending you've given me.

Boo, you whore.

[identity profile] wouldbedorothy.livejournal.com 2010-05-13 05:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Do I know you?

Just trying to figure out why you think it's acceptable to talk to me like that.

To clarify, I've no problem with you hating the ending. But I'd reconsider throwing "whore" around. If a person doesn't know you well, they might mistakenly think you're an ass.

Not to sound mean, but that's kind of what I wanted, lol! People to wish it had been real :) (Especially if they generally don't read or like mpreg!)

Thanks so much!!

i was so enthralled that the twist you added really surprised me. at first i thought the entire things was a dream, but you kept tessa. that made it all the more better. wonderful story.

that cosby episode is on of the funniest. can see how it would cause brian to have a dream like that.

[identity profile] wouldbedorothy.livejournal.com 2010-05-14 03:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you! I tried to keep elements of truth that were in the dream and reality, like Tessa. I think Gus probably really got to name the baby, too :)

[identity profile] wouldbedorothy.livejournal.com 2010-05-14 04:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks! :) I'm tickled people were surprised. I always knew it was a dream, so I was worried it would seem predictable, lol!

[identity profile] kiddoditto.livejournal.com 2010-05-13 09:19 pm (UTC)(link)
i have to admit you really surprised me. i was so worried for justin and the baby... and than it was only a dream....


your writing is great

[identity profile] wouldbedorothy.livejournal.com 2010-05-13 09:22 pm (UTC)(link)
*HUGS*

I was just about to respond to your previous comment and ask if you were okay and if you were upset with me for it being a dream, lol. Happy ending, right? And they have a baby!

Thank you so much for reading :):)

I don't know :) If I come up with an answer on that, I might have to write a tiny codex.
