Cowgirls Don't Cry.

"I really wish I could go back and change things. I've changed a lot since then..." He frowned.

"I know...And its okay....I mean....Hey at least I had a momma until I was ten. Even Aaron had him until he was six. We were okay I guess and daddy was always a good daddy."

"I'm real sorry though, still." He sighed, hugging the boy. "I hope you and Aaron can forgive me."

"I forgave you long ago...Aaron...not so much, he gets picked on alot, he got kicked out by Quincy...You refused him so Mike had to...I dont even know where he is..."

Alex sighed.
"I should find him...."

"And what? He isnt welcome at his home, you never welcomed him into yours...I just hope he is safe...." Dewayne nodded. "Im big brother, I take care of my baby brothers, like Kevin, you dont know how many times I beat Levi up or something or other he used to hurt Kev with. Like...He picked on him about not having a father, well, he made Kevin cry. Levi landed himself in the hospital."

"I'd let Aaron stay with us if I could find him..." He sighed.

"Good man..." Dewayne nodded, kissing his cheek. "Papa, dont feel bad on my account, if not for me being with daddy I wouldnt have David...im happy..."

"I still do though." He sighed softly.

"Because your a good man." He nodded. "And now that you dont hate me you kinda owe me a dance..." He winked at Alex.

Alex chuckled.
"I'd love to."

Dewayne glanced down to Kevin who had cried himself to sleep in his fathers arms.
"Lets dump him with Devin while we dance."

"ALright." He walked over to his son,
"Congratulations, you have won a child." Alex chuckled, sitting Kevin in Devin's arms.
Devin smirked.
"Yay, its what i've always wanted..." He said mockingly, holding Kevin nonetheless.

Kevin nuzzled his chest, sniffling softly.
Dustin stood, making his way to center stage.
"Alright, since apparently Alex is stealing away my son on this special day ill play some music for that but after that I got something for my husband of like a fuckin eternity." He winked at Chris. "Damn I thought It would only last for ten years,I thought i told Mr.Bride to shoot me after that, I cant take no more of his naggy baby fat watermelon eating ass. And David, this is what you got to forward to son. Dewayne this song is especially for you." His laughing smile assured everyone he was just picking at his family.

Chris laughed lightly at his husband, pretending to be offended.
"Yeah Dewayne's mine today. Sorry David." Alex winked as he placed his hands on Dewayne's waist to dance with him.

He cleared his throat, starting on the song.
"Look at the two of you dancing that way
Lost in the moment and each other's face
So much in love, you're alone in this place
Like there's nobody else in the world

I was enough for her not long ago
I was her number one, she told me so
And she still means the world to me, just so you know
So be careful when you hold my girl

Time changes everything, life must go on
And I'm not gonna stand in your way

But I loved her first, I held her first
And a place in my heart will always be hers
From the first breath she breathed
When she first smiled at me
I knew the love of a father runs deep

And I prayed that she'd find you someday
But it's still hard to give her away
I loved her first
Dustin did just what he said he did in the song...with ALL of his children.
Except Kelton
But by now that was implied.

Alex danced around with Dewayne, glad that things appeared to be fixed between them.

Dustin continued his song
I loved her first....


How could that beautiful woman with you
Be the same freckle face kid that I knew
The one that I read all those fairytales to
And tucked into bed all those nights

And I knew the first time I saw you with her
It was only a matter of time

I loved her first, I held her first
And a place in my heart will always be hers
From the first breath she breathed
When she first smiled at me
I knew the love of a father runs deep

And I prayed that she'd find you someday
But it's still hard to give her away
I loved her first

From the first breath she breathed
When she first smiled at me
I knew the love of a father runs deep

Someday you might know what I'm going through
When a miracle smiles up at you
I loved her first
And they were fixed, Dewayne was just happy to finally have the man accept him...
Maybe it was having the twins, maybe he just felt bad but either way...

Chris chuckled at Dustin, even smiling softly at Dewayne and Alex. The day had had a rough start but it was turning out pretty good..

'Alright Alex, back away from my child!" Dustin chuckled softly, he was tired but hey was having a good time.
"Once again I got the mic and since im dying you will all listen to my babbling!" Dustin chuckled. "I have written a few songs for my family and Alex, Rick I swear to God you DONT make a red neck joke imma be upset!" He wanted this day, if it was the last one, to be like old times...
"Now. Imma sing a song for each of my kids encase im not here to do it when they get married so you all hush and let me do this, Chris your song is last."

Chris grinned at his lover up there. Rick laughed. There would be plenty of red neck jokes.
Devin and Lance both listened intently.

Dustin cleared his throat, nodding at Lance and beckoning him up to the stage.
"C'mere baby, this ones for you."

Lance nervously stood and walked to his father, smiling as he kissed his father's cheek and listened.

Dustin wrapped an arm around his son, kissing his temple, He sat the mic down and just looked at Lance for a moment.
"You were...My first real baby in a relationship....I didnt know how to handle you...So everything in this song.,..Its true. Your first day of school I cried all night and all day and I followed you around I was like your little stalker...I couldnt let you go baby, not without me there to protect you. And When you were learning to walk...Oh...man that was hard...So yeah, this son is special for you baby."
Dustin took the mic back as the music began.
"Well I never once
Backed down from a punch
Well I'd take it square on the chin
But I found out fast
That bullies just laugh
And we've got to stand up to them

So I didn't cry when I got a black eye
As bad as it hurt, I just grinned
But when tough little boys grow up to be dads
They turn into big babies again.

Scared me to death
When you took your first steps
And I'd fall every time you fell down
Your first day of school, I cried like a fool
And I followed your school bus to town"

Dustin kissed Lance's forehead, pressing his baby boy close.

Lance smiled, his eyes tearing up as he listened to his father sing.
