Daddy's Love

To crazy people.

I go bad to Christian's bedroom and see him exactly the way I left him, over the bed. He cries have subsided giving way to sniffles.

Seeing Ana has had a calming effect on me too.

I touch Jay's shoulders and he flinches.

I pull his boxers out of his legs and he starts groaning and sobbing again.

"Will you just listen to me once, please?" He sobs.

I pick him up in my arms, and get under the covers with him, snuggling.

"Talk."

"That was not drugs." He is holding my tee like his life depends on it. I know he is not comfortable at all because of his bottom.

"If you're lying to get out of trouble, I can assure you, all its going to do is land you in more." I tell him sternly.

"I couldn't sleep, haven't slept, at all, after you.... So, I called Mr. G and asked for something.... that would help me sleep. You can.... ask him. " He sniffles.

"Why not pills then? Why shots?" I ask him, incredulously. I rub his back.

"Ana.... She's going into a littler headspace. I was scared that she might pop some.... When I am not around or distracted. It's been difficult to keep track of... Everything she does all day long.... When I don't have help. Or money." He adds.

I hug him tighter. Thank you to the mercies of the Universe. Chris was not on drugs! I heave a sigh of relief.

"Why not tell me straightaway? Why give me the lip?" I ask him.

"I tried, you moron!"

smack!

He calms back down.

"Not when I first asked you. You said it was none of my business."

I hug him. He hugs me back, holding onto me like his life depended on it or something. I love him so much. I feel complete, finally.

"You know, even though you weren't on drugs thankfully, I don't regret the episode." I mummer inside his hair.

"Neither do I. Only my butt does." he whispers and laughs feebly.

"Sleep, darling. I got you. Now and forever." I kiss him.

"No gel? No cream?" He asks making a face, once I pull back.

"Nope. Let that be a reminder to never ever even think about doing drugs."

"But I never thought about doing drugs in the first place!"

"Shh, go to sleep. You need rest. You have been looking so exhausted and ill." I kiss him again and five seconds later he falls asleep.

I go back to my place to bring Carol. I put her on the bed beside Ana. Thankfully she stays asleep.

I go the bathroom and pick up the aloe gel for Grey's bottom. I massage the gel on his butt, he is so deep in sleep that he doesn't even flinch or wince or anything. Later, I strip to my boxers and slip in beside Christian. My world is whole again.
