Tough Little Boys

"Dustin..." Chris would have nowhere to go. He refused to stay in the same place as Alex. Alex sighed and lifted his shirt. "Say bye to the babies."

Dustin sighed and looked up.
"If he needs to come home....The door is unlocked, this is not just my home, its his too." He smiled and hugged Alex around the waist, his cheek on his friends stomach, his tears dripping from his cheeks to Alex's belly, running down while Dustin cried.

Alex frowned deeply at the man and stroked his hair softly.

Dustin sniffled, kissing Alex's stomach.
He didnt wanna be alone...

"I'll call you when I'm giving birth..." He nodded, kissing his temple as he slowly walked away.

Dustin stayed out there, all alone in the dark, looking at the moon and the stars.
He picked up his guitar and walked out to the old tire swing he had made for Dewayne and sat down, stroking the strings.

Alex went home with Mike and knoccked on the door. rick opened it with a groan.
"Oh, mommas back." He smiled at Mike. "So I guess you two are moving back in here?"

Mike nodded.
"Yeah, Im bringing my family back."
Mike looked inside, frowning when he didnt see Kevin or Junior.

"Wonderful." He sighed. "Chris pack your shit!!" He called. "Well I'm glad your back momma." He hugged him.

Mike hugged him back, kissing his cheek.
"Where is Kevin and Junior?"

"Kevin is at Dewayne and David's I think and Jr is... lost....." He hung his head as his eyes teared up again

Mike raised a brow, not asking again but picking Jayden up and hugging him close.

Chris popped his head in the room, not noticing Alex.
"Why do I gotta pack my shit? Sick of me?"
"No, lard ass is here."
Chris sighed.
"Wonderful. Alright I'll be gone in a half hour."

Mike came in, sitting down and groaning.
He felt bad for Dustin.
He wanted to castraight Dustin.
He hated it either way.

Alex sighed heavily as he sat beside Mike.
"So you going to Dustins place?" Rick asked Chris.
"Yeah." He nodded.
"Don't." Alex piped up.
"Why the fuck not?" Chris snapped.
"He told me to tell you not to."
Chris's face fell.

Mike looked up at them.
"Chris, you can...He....The home is yours too. He just didnt want you to see him like that, here one sec."
Mike picked up and phone and dialed the number, speaking for a moment.
"Go home Chris."
He poked Alex.
"Dont ever listen to him when he says shit like that, he is stupid."

"You can say that again!" Rick chimed in.
"Shut up." Chris elbowed him as he packed his bags.

Mike rolled his eyes, looking over at Rick.
"Your not help me, Chris, or Alex. Dont you got a kid to go find? Leave the grown ups alone." Mike huffed, He was mad at everyone, cept Alex really...Just glad to have Alex with him...
He wanted to kill Dustin, it was his job, Rick could back off.

Rick sighed.
"I just was stating the obvious." He shrugged and helped Chris lug his shit over to Dustin's

Dustin was not in the house, no where to be seen but he was in the dark, watching.

Chris looked around before sighing and going to lay down in the guest room.

Dustin swung on his swing a few times, strumming on the guitar.

Chris lifted up his shirt and rubbed his own flat stomach.
"I'm sorry baby... I'll love you even if no one else wants to.."

Dustin refused to go inside, he slept in the barn with his dogs.

By the morning Chris and his things were gone. He had no clue where he was going but he left.
