Halloween Horror

Alex couldn't take it anymore. He put the kids down for a nap. He took a deep breath and knocked on the door lightly.
"Mike come out here. I want to talk to you." He whispered.

Mike got up quickly and turned the water off and un plugged the CD player. Mike took a deep breath and wiped his blood shot eyes. Mike opened the door slowly and stepped out, standing face to face with his lover even though Alex was a little talker than him....or alot.

"What's wrong baby? I don't want you to hide things from me. I tell you everything and it worries me that you're keeping something from me." Alex said with a frown, looking deep into Mike's ocean blue eyes.

"Well......." Mike sighed and closed his eyes, he couldn't deal with this. He had become an emotional wreck since having the twins.

"Mikey what is it? I want to make it better." Alex said.

"Me and you.....its not normal...." Mike whimpered. His babies would not be normal with two daddy's. What will other people say, will they out cast his babies, Mike didnt know what to do. But Mike knew he could not and would not give Alex Riley up, he needed Alex or he couldn't live it seemed, couldn't or wouldn't he wasn't sure.

"O-oh." Alex stammered. "Y-you don't want me any m-more?" Alex let out a whimper, mentally cursing himself as tears brimmed his eyes. Was Mike too afraid of what people would think? Had he been trying to go straight?

Mike gasped, his eyes growing wide and watery. "No, no, Alex baby no." Mike hugged his fiance. "Nothing like that, I would not live without you, I would never not want you, do you understand me." Mike took Alex's face in his hands; making Alex look at him. "Do you?"

Alex nodded slowly, lip trembling.
"I thought you w-wanted a family?" He asked, teary eyed.

"Alex....I want a family but." Mike paused and then continued. "How will this affect our kids? What will people think? They will be out casts, they will feel like freaks because they dont have a mommy." Mike sighed. "They don't need me, they need a mother." Mike rubbed Alex's cheek with his thumb. "You are a wonderful father, best I have ever seen, but you need a wife, a mother for the babies." This was killing Mike but he knew it was true. "They don't need me, I will make it weird, they need a momma, a real one."

"But I don't want a mommy. I want you. Just you." Alex folded his arms across his chest and his bottom lip jutted out.

"They do." Mike pointed at the sleeping twins and shook his head. "And that's all there is to it." Mike crossed his arms and stared at Alex with loving eyes.

"I will get a fucking sex change if you want them to have a mother!" Alex exclaimed in a hushed voice, so he didn't wake the kids. "And they don't even know what they want yet. How do you? What if they're completely fine with having two daddys? What if they grow up to be gay rights activists?" He said with a chuckle.

Mike glared. "This is not funny Alex." Mike growled, turning around to go back into the bathroom.

"Not kidding. If it will make you happy, I'm willing to get a sex change. Would you rather me start bawling? It's either that or making jokes." Alex said truthfully, gently grabbing Mike's shoulder to stop him.

"I want you to let go, and let me go bawl. Excuse me if I am having problems laughing about this Riley." Mike shrugged Alex's hand off and then walked into the bathroom. The door closed with a soft 'click'.

Alex sunk to the ground, hitting his head off of the door.
"Mike, we have children. We can't fight like kids anymore. We have to talk about our problems. You can't go and hide anymore."

"The door is unlocked, im not hiding, and I can do what I want and the kids are asleep." Mike was temped to pick up the razor and go back to cutting, he might just do that.....

Alex stood and sure enough the door was unlocked.
"Then I'm sitting in here with you." He said, walking in and plopping down on the edge of the bathtub.

Mike cursed he hand the razor in his hand so quickly he hid it behind his back and slid it to the other side of the room, putting his hands in his lap and looking innocent. "Great, company." Mike muttered sarcastically.

"I know you too well Mike. I'm not about to leave you alone in here." Alex said.

"I hate you so much." Mike grumbled, that had hurt to hear but it was true, he couldn't be trusted.

"And I also know you don't mean that."

"Yeah? Well than you know nothing." Mike crossed his arms and turned his head away, trying to to eyes the razor.

Alex sighed.
"Stop this Mike. We used to fight all the time like this. But we've been doing good since we had the kids. Don't be like this please." Alex begged.
