I Own Nothing

AN: I don't think that the version of Monopoly exists at the time or at all for that matter. I made it up, but then again their could be one since they have over a thousand versions of Monopoly according to one website.

CN: Christmas Morning with Britin and Gus

Title: We Got More Time

Gus ran into his daddies' bedroom shouting he was so happy that it was Christmas morning. He usually knocked on the door, but this morning he'd been too excited to do so. He shouted Merry Christmas jumping on the bed, but being careful not to land on his daddy. He knew he was still recovering from the surgery to fix something. Brian and Justin hadn't told him about the mix up though. They had explained why Ben and Daphne were the two that had gone to get Jenny and Gus.

"Daddies wake up, wake up Santa came to see us." Gus said before he sat down crawling up getting between his daddies. Justin and Brian had moved back so he could get in.

"We're awake, but it's awful early. You sure Santa's been here yet?" Justin asked seeing that Brian was smiling, but his eyes weren't open yet.

"I'm positive he came, I went down this morning to see right off. I also made us breakfast, but I couldn't carry it up the stairs." Gus said which got Brian to open his eyes. "Don't worry daddy it's cereal nothing near the stove." Gus giggled since he wasn't old enough to use them.

"I guess if we must then lets go." Brian said tickling Gus to make him squeal out.

Gus tried hiding behind his dad, but Justin joined in too. The three of them laughed before getting up to go downstairs. Since it was only going to be the three of them until the next day Justin and Gus talked Brian into putting on the Christmas pajamas they got for a matching family. There was snow outside which was why they wouldn't be getting out until the next day. The airports had gotten closed which was why Lindsay and Melanie couldn't get out of Canadia to get there either.

They ate their breakfast quickly before going to the living room where the gifts were under the tree. Before they opened Gus got them to pose for a family picture. Gus promised he'd show no one the picture since Brian was reluctant at first. He didn't want anyone seeing the Christmas outfit that Justin had gotten. It was reindeers all over the thing with antlers that went on the head too. Justin knew that Gus asking was what had gotten Brian to agree to it. Gus could get his daddies to do anything if he just asked.

There were gifts for other family members under the tree too so Gus passed around what was his daddies' first. Then he searched for his putting them in a semi circle around him. Gus opened his first one which had said from dad on it. He wanted to wait for Santa's until he got the ones from his dads. He had only asked Santa for a couple of things, he'd done the most asking to his parents. He'd thought of things after he mailed his letter to Santa which was why Santa hadn't gotten a big list.

The first gift Gus opened was a camera that Justin had picked out for him. It was exactly like the one that Brian had. Gus was always asking to borrow Brian's so Justin had gotten him one of his very own. The second gift Gus opened had been inside the camera one. It was an extra memory card so he wouldn't have to worry about deleting pictures. It was the largest memory card that was on the market now. Gus was so happy seeing it he got up hugging his dad. He thanked him before getting his dad to put the memory card in the camera for him. Justin also put the batteries in the camera so Gus could take pictures.

Gus opened one from his daddy next finding a new version of his favorite board game, Monopoly inside. Gus had seen it back at Thanksgiving and thought it would be cool. It was a fairy tale version that had dragons as part of the pieces you could move. He loved playing the game with his family. The next gift he opened was from Santa which he was surprised to find the Disney version of Monopoly under the wrapping paper. He got up hugging his dady for the first one and then sent a shout out to Santa. He did a dance he was so happy about the board games.

The next three gifts were part of a set he opened from his daddies. He got brand new riding boots, a cowboy hat, and gloves to protect his hands from holding the reins. His daddy got him a cowboy shirt and pants that had a vest to go with it too. The hat was black along with the gloves. The boots were black with a fire red like flames at the toe of the boot. The shirt Brian got him was black with red like flames that matched the boots. The pants were like the ones his daddies had that he'd asked about having.

Brian handed Gus the next package from Santa which was a saddle of his own. It matched his outfit and boots which Gus loved. He was so excited that he almost missed the tag that said put this on your gift from your dads. Gus looked up with bright eyes running to the window that looked down to the stables. He had been riding the horses that his daddies owned. He hadn't thought he'd get one of his very own yet. He wanted so badly to go to the stables to look then, but Brian and Justin promised they would before the morning was over.

Gus opened a basket ball from Justin, which Brian had gotten him the portable basketball goal. They hadn't put it together yet, but Gus opened up the box that had been against the window. He had jumped around with happy shouts thinking of how much fun he'd get to have with his daddies and other family members. There was also a soccer ball and football since Gus loved playing most sports. He hadn't liked baseball though and it was somewhat a relief. Justin still didn't want to look at a baseball bat, which Brian understood why.

The last three gifts that Gus opened was a kids art set from Justin which came with an easel, paints, paint brushes, markers, pencils, and two sketch pads. Brian had gotten him a train set that came with extra track. It could go all the way around the living room. The final gift from Santa was some cartoons he'd put on his list in one box. He got all the Dragon Tales DVD seasons and a few other ones he liked.

Justin and Brian got to open their gifts next from each other along with Gus. Brian had gotten Gus to help him pick Justin's Christmas gift out back at Thanksgiving when they'd been together. It was all in a large box wrapped up then individually wrapped up inside it. It was all art supplies that he'd been out of or planned to get new. Justin hadn't expected the gift since Brian had kept saying he was lost for ideas still. He'd said he'd gladly just buy some things for Brian to wrap up for him. Brian had told him that wouldn't be fun at all.

Brian's first gift from Justin was the drawing of one of his favorite pictures. They had gone to Disney World for Brian's birthday back in May. It was a family event even getting Lindsay and Melanie to go with. Jenny had spent the week with Michael, Ben and Hunter since she was too little for most of the rides. Brian was sure that the three had enjoyed having the little girl that week to their selves though. Gus and Brian were in the drawing with Peter Pan. Brian smiled looking at Justin remembering the fun they'd had together.

Gus had handed his daddies the gift from him next which they weren't sure what it could be. Justin and Brian had both asked him if he needed help, but he'd said he had it covered. Brian opened his which was a framed picture of Gus and him. Gus' school had a carnival back in the fall which Brian had flown up for the weekend to be with Gus. Justin had been down with a bad sprained ankle so he hadn't been able to go.

Daphne had stayed at the house with Justin while he'd spent some time with Gus. The picture was right after the dunking booth. Brian was soaking wet with Gus on his shoulders smiling brightly not caring he was getting wet too. Melanie had dared Brian to go into the dunking booth, but Gus had given his daddy a pleading look so he had.

Gus had gotten his daddies gift cards to their favorite stores too. Justin had helped pick Brian's out with Gus. Brian had done the same with Gus for this part of Justin's gift from Gus. The next gift Brian gave Justin was a coupon book filled with romantic gestures he could cash in during the year. There was massages all the way to movie nights out. There was a second book that Brian had waiting for when Gus wasn't there to give Justin too which was full of sexual acts coupons.

Justin had given Brian almost the exact same thing with the coupons. It made them laugh though since they thought a like. Justin also gave Brian the finished copy of the book of art he'd put together. It was an early release that had a dedication inside just for Brian's eyes. There was also another one that the entire world would see about Brian. The one that Justin had personally wrote was more intimate. The one the world got to see left out a couple of details.

Brian hadn't even known about the book that Justin had been planning on doing. He'd seen Justin collecting art pieces he'd done in the past. He had thought he was redoing his art portfolio. The picture inside the book had the picture of both of them which surprised Brian. He flipped through the pages that were full of copies of sketches, paintings, and even a few photos that Justin had taken. The last picture had been added at the last minute which was why Justin hadn't been sure it would be ready in time.

"Daddy, why you crying?" Gus asked moving to look at the book that Brian had open on the last page.

"It's happy tears, Sonny Boy." Brian said moving his hand over the picture that was on the left page then the right page.

Justin smiled moving closer so he could put his arm around Brian. He also let Gus sit in his lap looking at the book. The picture on the left was one he'd drawn of Brian in the hospital bed when he thought he was dying. The one on the right was the morning Gus had shown up as a surprise. Brian had gotten out of the hospital the evening before, but thought Gus wasn't coming for another day. Justin had drawn his self into the picture since he hadn't been lying beside them that morning. Gus had been sleepy so he'd crawled into the bed going back to sleep with his daddy. In the picture Justin had his arm touching both of them with the caption below asking a question. 'We still have time for more, want to try now?'

"That mean I get more siblings?" Gus asked looking at his daddies.

Brian smiled looking at Justin and Gus before he nodded his head. It took a moment before he could say yes. The thought of what had happened a few days before wasn't just the reason he said yes. He wanted to have or maybe even adopt kids with Justin. He did really want a child that had Justin's blue eyes too.

"I'd love to have more kids with you. I'll let you pick the names too." Brian said leaning in kissing Justin. He was glad that the resident had been wrong. He couldn't imagine not being able to see Gus growing up or having those children with Justin. He wanted to have a long life with them and the kids they'd have.

"I'm so happy daddies." Gus put in before giving both his dads a hug and kiss.

Afterwards they all went outside bundling up to go see the horse that Gus had gotten for Christmas. Justin and Brian held hands as they let Gus lead the way to the stables. Justin hadn't been far from Brian since he'd gotten him home. In some ways the mix up had made him think that they didn't have forever even if he wanted that to happen. They did have more time for now though which he was going to make sure it all count. It was one of the reasons he had asked if Brian wanted to start now on more children.

~THE END~

Happy holidays everyone hope you have a wonderful new year as well. It's been a great 2019 especially since I found QAF on Youtube then DVD.
