Hold On To The Inside - Twenty


After the babies had been fed and everyone had left to give JC some rest Justin leans in and kisses JC's forehead. "I live you so much Jayce."

"I love you too Justin."

"Jayce?"

"Yeah?"

Justin reaches in his pocket, "I was gonna do this before the babies were born but couldn't find the right time to do it. But, will you marry me?"

"Marry you? How? Is it even legal for two men to get married?"

"Um...Jayce...You're a woman. I think it's still legal for men and women to get married."

"So...you want to marry Rose?"

"Jayce," Justin sighs. "You and Rose are the same person. I love both of you and I love our...."

"Hey Justin?" Joey starts coming in the room. He sees Justin with the small ring box and smiles, "So what she say?"

JC looks from Justin to Joey, "You knew he was gonna ask?"

"Yes. He told me when he bought the ring."

"What else do you know?"

"Well...I know a lot about your relationship with Justin but I want to know what your answer is."

Justin smiles at JC, "Yeah...I wouldn't mind knowing that one either."

"Of course I'll marry you J. You didn't have any doubts did you?"

"Well..." Justin blushes.

"Good." Joey states, "Cuz I got all the paperwork and the chaplin is right behind me."

"Where are the others?" JC asks.

"They're all in the hallway, waiting for me to come out and get them. You gotta sign a few papers first." Joey answers.

"Ok. So...bring them over here. Anybody got a pen?" JC asks.

Karen peeks her head in the door, "How's it going in here? The chaplin is getting anxious. Seems he's got a service in a half hour."

"I'm signing as fast as I can mom."

"K. I'm gonna bring everyone in then."

Everyone walks in and lines up on either side of the bed. On one side is Lance, Howie, Kevin, Kristin, Brian and Leahanne; on the other is Joey, Dan, Chris, Nick, AJ, and Karen. Jacob, Ashley, Trevor and Erik line up at the foot of the bed behind the chaplin. JC sat up in the bed and Justin climbed in behind him.

"We are gathered here today...." The chaplin started.

By the time the small, private ceremony was over several nurses and the doctor had managed to slip into the room with the babies. The room remained quiet once the chaplin had stopped talking.

Then suddenly AJ speaks, "It's about time the two of you woke up and got your shit together. Don't know why you didn't do this before they were born."

Nick smacks AJ in the back of the head, "Sorry guys. He has a bad habit of running off at the mouth. Doesn't think first."

JC smiles at the room full of people, "I'd like to say thank you all for your support and love. Including those of you in O-Town. I don't know you all very well but if Joey can find love with one of you then you must be an ok group of people." He looks up at Joey and smiles, "Thank you for all your support."

Chris and Lance both get confused looks on their faces and Chris says, "Jayce..."

"I think it's time some explaining is done." JC states.

Kevin looks around the room, "I think that's our cue to leave." He turns and walks towards the door. The rest of BSB and O-Town, save Dan, all follow.

Justin, Karen and Lance each take a baby and the doctor and nurses walk out of the room.

"Ok, Jayce." Joey smiles. "You wanna tell them or you want me to?"
