Pay the price

***one and a half years later***

"daddy!!!!! Daddy wake up!!" Nathan whined as he jumped on mine and gees bed.

"Shh hey buddy daddy's up, daddy's up what's wrong?" I asked him rubbing my eyes and saw Gerard shifting a bit to look at him obviously having been woken up too.

"I-I" he mumbled.

"You what baby?" Gerard asked him.

"I peed my bed...." He whispered upset.
We'd been trying to potty train him and now he gets really mad at himself when he can't hold it and accidentally goes.

"Nate it's okay." I smiled at him reassuringly.

"N-no it's not! Cause now I'm not a b-big boy." He mumbled starting to cry.

I picked up my phone and saw it was only four am. "Nathan you're the best big boy I know, now how about you lay down with me and daddy it's still early and then in a little bit we can go somewhere to eat?" I suggested since neither me nor gee have work.

Nate nodded and snuggled up between us and fell back asleep.
"He's so cute." Gee mumbled

"yea and he's all ours." I smiled.

"I really hope the adoption clearances come through soon." He sighed.

See me and Gerard still aren't married. Living together and raising a kid yes but not married. we've both been working a lot to raise money for the wedding and Nathan so we haven't really had a chance to get married yet.

We do want to have an actual wedding and reception like a normal couple and have already started making a guest list but we still need money for all this to happen, and while we love Nate he still takes a lot of work and money.
especially since my asshole father hasn't been paying child support like we agreed.

Luckily we aren't paying for day care because Mikey offers to watch him every other day for us while we're at work. Me and Mikey are back to being as close as we were in high school and I'm very grateful for that.

"gee you know you're his dad. It doesn't matter what the papers say or when they come you're his dad not anyone else."

"I know."

****************************

"daddy play me in tic tax toe!!" Nathan begged me while we were out waiting for our food.

"it's tic tac toe Nathan and okay." I said filling a box in with an o.


Finally our food came and we began eating which kept Nathan quiet for the time being, but once he finished and me and Gerard were still eating he began to throw a fit.

"Daddy I want to leave!"

"Nate calm down well leave as soon as daddy's done eating." Gee said calmly

"I wanna leave now!" He screamed.

"Nathan stop that you know better." Gerard scolded him.

Nathan got mad that he had been yelled at and then started to cry. Very obnoxiously.

As me and Gerard tried to calm him down a kind man walked over from his booth next to ours. "Why don't you just leave or give the kid to his damn mother." He grumbled

"I'm sorry but are you his parents?" I snapped.

"No but neither are you so I suggest you leave so we all don't have to listen to the thing cry all morning."

"I'm sorry for the interruption but he's a kid. Kids cry and we are his parents and were trying to calm him down so if you could kindly leave now that'd be great." I said coldly

"no wonder he's crying he's got a couple of faggots as parents." the guy said bitterly.

"Y'know what fuck you man. So what if I'm gay I'm still his dad and he's still my kid so fuck off he's my kid and I'll raise him how I want not you so if he wants to keep crying until we leave I'll let him just to piss you off." I said staring the guy down until he left.

Nathan did stop crying after we promised to take him to the store and let him pick out one thing but of course our waiter walked back to our table making things worse.
"I'm sorry but we've been getting complaints from other customers and were going to have to ask you to leave." She said quietly obviously being told she had to be the one that kicked us out.

"fuck this place." I shouted angrily. "Nathan come here." I said and then picked him up while gerard grabbed the baby bag and we stormed out.

"Fucking homophobes." I spat as we pulled out of the parking lot.

"What's a home-e-phobe daddy?" Nathan asked from his car seat.

"It's someone that doesn't like people who are different." I said not going into detail.

"I like different daddy is that bad?" He asked confused.

"No Nathan you're perfect just the way you are buddy." Gee said
