Together Again

On the morning of June third, which was a Saturday, Andy was somewhat impatient as his private jet neared its landing at LAX. Because Legacy was still a bit out of it after being released from the hospital, he’d decided it was best they go ahead and fly out to California. He, Jake, and CC would be flying back out within the next few days to pack up all of his sweetheart’s and daughters’ belongings. Additionally, he’d need a couple other people to drive their cars back for him since it was just easier and they refused to give them up.

The grin that split his face when they hit the home stretch of their flight rivaled the one that he wore upon seeing Ash again for the first time in seventeen years. He was so happy to finally be back home, and so excited to have his family reunited. He knew the older man was missing them as much as they missed him, and their wait was finally over.

After they finally touched down, the bumping jarring Legacy’s already pounding head a bit, they started unbuckling seat belts and grabbing carry-ons. Magick took the girls’ bags, his strapped to her back, while he picked his older daughter up baby-style. She wrapped her arms and legs around him, clinging like a koala bear, as he stood to disembark. He couldn’t help how his grin widened, and he didn’t want to.

“Andy! Legacy! Magick!”

With an even wider grin than before, he disembarked with his daughter in his arms to be greeted by his sweetheart. Ash wore a grin that was equally as wide, already breaking apart from the rest of the guys to run to them. His gait wasn’t quite as even as it’d been the last time they’d seen each other, but then again, he had a little bit of a pot belly affecting that. At nearly twenty-four weeks, he was definitely showing, although not nearly as much as he’d thought he’d be, but that was okay. So long as he and the babies were all healthy, he couldn’t really care less how big or small he was.

“Hey there, Ashie!” he said, moving their daughter to his hip. He opened his now free arm, chuckling when his sweetheart snuggled against his side.

“I missed you guys soooo much,” Ash responded, grinning and purring as he hugged him. “How’re ya feeling, baby girl?”

“Like shit,” Legacy mumbled, her face buried in her daddy’s neck.

“I bet,” the older man said, pouting a bit. “I’m sorry I couldn’t come back out there while ya were in the hospital, but I’m just glad you’re all right.”

“Thanks, Mama,” she answered, somehow managing a smile.

“Let’s get her in the car,” Andy said, unwrapping his arm from his sweetheart’s shoulders to shield her eyes. “She’s had a skull-splitting headache ever since she regained consciousness, and sunlight is practically unbearable right now.”

“Oh, my poor baby,” he pouted.

“You stay with the girls and let me and the guys get our bags,” the younger man told him. “After all, we want these two to stay safe and healthy.” He gently caressed his belly once Legacy hid her face again.

Chuckling, Ash agreed to stay in the car with the girls, even relinquishing the front seat to his younger daughter. They’d always been calmest and able to rest the best when they were able to use his chest as a pillow, particularly when their head rested over his heart. While it might be a bit uncomfortable due to the tenderness, he was willing to put up with it.

With his family settled as comfortably as possible, Andy turned back to the plane with his friends to unload the few bags they’d brought with them. Thankfully, Jinxx’d driven his Tahoe, which made getting them back to his house easier. After all, his Charger was only so big, and with three extra bodies crammed in it now, space was going to be limited. Not only that, but he wanted to make sure his sweetheart had plenty of room to sprawl out since he knew discomfort was easily achieved and likely while pregnant.

By the time they finally got back to the younger man’s house, his sweetheart was beyond uncomfortable. He couldn’t go as long between trips to the bathroom anymore, his chest was really tender, and the babies were apparently active at the moment. The moment he was finally able to get out of his lover’s car, he ran into the house as fast as he could possibly manage, which was a bit amusing.

Sighing with relief a few minutes later, Ash emerged from the half-bath a few feet down the hall from the kitchen. His hand was absently caressing his belly, which seemed to have a life of its own right now. Andy could clearly see little lumps and bumps forming in various places, and even swore he saw a foot on his right side at one point. It was such a sweet sight, and he honestly couldn’t wait to be able to feel the babies moving for himself. Maybe if he was nice enough, his sweetheart would let him rest his hand on his belly to see if that was possible just yet, but he didn’t want to push his buttons too far right now.

“I know you wanna see if you can feel ’em, Batman,” the older man chuckled, now stretched out on the couch.

“How’d you know?” he asked curiously.

“Those blue eyes of yours have always been far more expressive than you realized,” his sweetheart laughed.

“Oh, really now?” Andy asked, a bit of a mischievous glint twinkling in them.

“Yeah, really,” he answered, nodding. “Like right now, you’re feeling a bit mischievous. Now whether that’s in a clean or Purdy way, I dunno.”

“Well, considering that I thought about tickling you, I’d say that’s clean,” the younger man chuckled.

“It could easily turn Purdy, though,” Ash said with a smirk.

“And what makes you so sure of that?” he asked.

“Because I’m pregnant and horny. Enough said,” the older man chuckled.

“We sooo didn’t need to know that, Mama,” the girls said.

“Hey, I didn’t know you were there, or I wouldn’t have said it,” he responded a bit defensively.

“Or at least, you wouldn’t have said it loud enough for them to hear,” Andy chuckled.

His sweetheart merely stuck his tongue out at him and rolled his eyes, but that didn’t make his smirk disappear.

“Hey, I don’t care if you’re in a perverted mindset right now,” he said, gently nuzzling his temple. “You deserve to be, and I still love you, regardless.”

“Awww… I love you, too, Batman,” Ash responded, connecting their lips in a gentle kiss, their hands both resting on his belly.

The younger man broke the kiss with a soft gasp, his eyes widening as he glanced down to where his sweetheart’s hand covered his own. Just under the center of his palm, he could feel the fluttering movements of their unborn babies. It was an almost surreal feeling, something he wished he could’ve experienced during his first pregnancy, but that didn’t really matter.

With a grin, the older man looked up at his lover, his eyes twinkling with happiness. They were more of a caramel shade than their typical espresso, a sign that he was in a really good mood. That brightened Andy’s mood, which made his own eyes turn an even brighter shade of blue than they already were.

A sudden gasp and soft moan made him immediately concerned about the older man, especially when he realized he was biting his lip. He frowned as he asked him what was wrong, which included taking note of how he’d suddenly crossed his legs. Ash shook his head, silently telling him he didn’t want to tell him at the moment. He let his eyes drift over to their daughters, then back to the younger man, a clear sign that he didn’t want to say in front of them. He felt his eyes widen as he realized that whatever had happened, it’d caused him to start pitching a tent in his pants, and he didn’t want them to know.

Handling him as gently as he could, Andy picked him up bridal-style so he could take him upstairs. Even if they didn’t do anything sexual, he figured being able to stretch out on their bed in just his underwear, if anything, would be more comfortable. His sweetheart whimpered a bit as the gentle movements made him rub against his clothes, as well as let out another gasp a few seconds later. This was starting to alarm the younger man, but he wasn’t going to ask in front of the girls.

“What’s wrong, Outlaw?” he asked, gently laying him on their bed.

“Oh, sweet Jinxx…” Ash groaned, struggling to get out of his clothes. “That was another part of pregnancy I hated…”

“What was?” the younger man asked, still worried.

“Kicks to my prostate,” his sweetheart answered, finally getting his lower half stripped. “Even if I was dead asleep and the kicks woke me up, a kick to the prostate leads to instant arousal.”

“Ohhhh,” Andy breathed, his eyes widening again. “No wonder you didn’t wanna say anything in front of the girls…”

Groaning again, the older man writhed on the bed as he stripped his shirt off, leaving him in nothing but his birthday suit. “Damn it!”

“You gonna be okay, Outlaw?” he asked, not daring to touch him since he didn’t know if such a thing would be welcomed right now.

“Once I…get off,” he panted, squirming and writhing.

Unsure of whether he should try to help him or not, he bit his lip as he left his hand by his hip.

“Ugghhhh,” his sweetheart groaned, attempting to reach down to his crotch. “Son of a bitch…I hated this part, too.”

“You need some help?” Andy asked, still not daring to touch him.

“Please, Batman,” the older man whimpered, his eyes pleading. “I’m ashamed to say it, but I’ve gotten just big enough that I can’t reach my crotch anymore.”

With a nod and a gentle smile, the younger man reached out and used as gentle a touch as he could manage while wrapping his hand around his hardened member. Apparently he was extremely sensitive, which was what the sharp gasp he let out told his lover. He started to pull his hand away, but he was stopped by a gentle hand on his wrist.

Ash told him that, while he couldn’t be quite as rough as normal because it hurt, he didn’t have to stop entirely. In fact, he really wanted his touch, considering that, aside from repeated kicks to the prostate, he hadn’t been able to get off lately. It was just too hard to reach his crotch, and all the times he’d tried fingering himself, he was unsuccessful. Being on his back made it too hard to breathe, and he just couldn’t reach his entrance while lying on his side or making an attempt in the shower.

Nodding once again, Andy loosened his grip on his throbbing member as he began to gently stroke him from base to tip. He smiled when his sweetheart involuntarily bucked his hips against his hand, trying to get a bit more friction, but not so much that it was painful. As he reached his tip, he allowed his thumb to gently tease his slit, garnering a soft, but very desperate moan from him.

It wasn’t long before his strokes had gained speed, although he still didn’t have his hand wrapped around him very tightly. His sweetheart was panting harshly as he strained to get off, and with a sudden gasp, his eyes shot open as wide as they could as he started shooting his load across his chest and belly. Andy could only assume he’d taken another kick to his prostate, which had triggered his orgasm since he was already pretty close. Still, he merely smiled as he helped him ride it out before gently letting go. He was glad to see his sleepy, satisfied look, and he hoped the effects would last for a while to come.

“You okay, Outlaw?” he asked softly, now holding a towel to clean him up with.

“Mmm hmm,” Ash answered, giggling softly. “Much better…”

“I’m glad to see that,” the younger man chuckled, gently wiping his belly off. Thankfully, the babies within had settled down, presumably for a nap.

“It probably won’t take me long to be horny again, though,” his sweetheart warned him.

“Oh, really?” Andy chuckled, folding the towel to a clean section so he could clean his own chest off.

“Mmm hmm,” he hummed, wincing as he ran the towel over his chest. “Pregnancy does that to me. Between all the hormones and kicks to the prostate, it’s like I can never be satisfied sometimes.”

“Sheesh. You used to be quite the little bunny rabbit when we were younger,” he teased him, gently kissing his temple.

“Oh, that was nothing compared to me while I’m pregnant,” the older man chuckled.

“Well, you lay here and take yourself a nap,” he said, managing to pull the covers out from under him enough to gently tuck him in. “Doubtless you could use a nap now.”

“I’d rather be spending time with my family, though,” Ash yawned.

“I know, but we’ll still be here later,” the younger man promised. “You need to take care of yourself and these little ones, too, or I wouldn’t say anything.”

“Mmmm,” his sweetheart hummed, snuggling under the covers.

Andy stayed where he was on the edge of the bed and gently stroked his hair, something he knew would put him to sleep. If he was already tired when he started doing that, he’d fall asleep even quicker and sleep deeper than when he fell asleep on his own. He smiled and continued the gentle caress, even sang to him, as he slowly fell asleep.

Once Ash was sleeping well enough for the moment, he stopped caressing his hair, but stayed where he was, just in case he seemed to be waking up. Thankfully, the older man merely readjusted his head in his sleep, which prompted him to readjust his pillow a bit for him, but didn’t wake. It was fairly likely he didn’t sleep much the night before between being excited to see the rest of his family and the babies kicking him, so he definitely needed whatever sleep he could get.

With his sweetheart tucked into bed, the younger man quietly left the room so he could throw the towel they’d used for the cleanup in the laundry. Once that task was done, Andy decided to head downstairs to check on the girls, smiling slightly as he took in the scene. Jinxx’s son sat on the couch between them, an arm wrapped around each one, quietly watching TV as they used his chest as a pillow and napped.

He smiled at the teen he considered his nephew, waving to him since he didn’t want to wake his daughters. Logan raised his hands from where they rested on the twins’ arms, barely flashing his palms in an almost motionless wave. It was pretty clear that he was just as reluctant as his “uncle” to wake them, which was probably a good thing. They could be a bit evil when they were woken up too soon, and he wanted his household to stay peaceful for as long as possible. Things were going to get crazy till they adjusted to life in Southern California, especially once the new babies arrived.
