Prologue:

It had been a few years since Ryan and Zack had Riley and Hope. Ever since their friends had babies Brian and Johnny decided to try for a baby of their own. They both agreed to start trying. That meant throwing out their drawer of condoms and both were happy.

The day of the condom removal was one neither would ever forget. Johnny held out the bag and Brian threw them away. But then a new idea came. Why throw them away? They used them to make floating lights in the pool and things of that nature. They even have helium filled condoms with a light inside.

Brian sighed as he sat with Johnny after another round of sex. Brian prayed that they get a baby soon. They are so prepared and are happy as can be. He just needs to have the chance to be pregnant. But each time they try there is a barrier. Something that prevents it. They have gotten many tests done and both of them are sexually healthy. Neither have any visible problems so it bothers them that they have no baby.

Brian kissed him. "Johnny? I love you."

Johnny smiled. "I love you too. And maybe we got lucky. We wait a few days and go from there." Brian nodded and kissed him on the lips. Brian sighed and snuggled close to him content. "And Bri?"

"Yeah Johnny?" Brian asked looking at him.

Johnny got an evil smirk. "I'm gonna get ya!" he started tickling his lover all over. Brian gasped and ran off trying to avoid the hands of his lover.

~Brian POV~

It had been 3 years since Ryan and Zach Baker had their children, Riley and Hope. And 9 years
since Matt and Jimmy Sullivan welcomed their twin daughters Terra and Tanya into the world. And during that time Johnny prayed that someday we would be blessed with a child of our own. We secretly dated for so long. No one found out til Matt was pregnant with his twins. That day was the day the band almost broke apart.

After many failed attempts to get me pregnant we had thrown in the towel and decided to consider surrogacy. At the moment we sit at the coffee table in the living room looking through people's files for a possible surrogate. "What about this guy? He's twenty three, has no criminal records, and is very heartwarming towards children." Johnny asked me holding up a photo of a young blond with blue eyes

"He looks too heartwarming, what if he gets too attached and wants keep our baby, then we'd have a custody battle on our hands" I pointed out frowning as I felt a weird feeling in my belly.

"You ok babe? You look sick again, do you still have that flu bug? I mean you've had it for weeks now" Johnny asked concerned as he looked at me.

"I don't know...I hope not though, if I throw up one more time I'm gonna go insane" I answered. For the past four weeks I've been as sick as a dog, not able to keep down anything Johnny cooked. But it's up to nerves due to the fact that I had just been laid off from my job at Verizon after working there for the past four years. It seems I was scary and customers feared me. Why would people fear me? I'm Brian Haner! I am the guy from Avenged Sevenfold! I am awesome! I groaned again and bolted for the bathroom with my hand over my mouth.

After throwing up I gargled with mouthwash and brushed my teeth. I noticed something under the sink... It was a box of pregnancy tests that I had bought when we were trying to get pregnant. "Could I be? Nah... " I thought to myself as I sat on the toilet. "However... Ry and Matt both had nausea for the first few month of their pregnancies... I'd better take one just to be on the safe side." I said grabbing one and opening it.

I read the instructions on the box. I peed on it then gently placed it on the counter to wait 5 minutes. While I waited my hand flew to my stomach. "Can I really be pregnant? Can I really be that lucky?" Finally I took a deep breath and looked at the test as the 5 minute wait period ended. I looked at it and noticed the two pink lines. I gasped and in my shock dropped it to the floor with a clatter.

"Brian? Honey you ok in there?" Johnny asked knocking on the door.

"Um... Hang on a second" I answered picking up the test and slipping it into my back pocket as a surprise for another day. I unlocked the door and opened it revealing my very nervous husband.

"Jesus Christ Brian I heard something hit the floor! I thought you passed out or something" Johnny said breathing a sigh of relief "Are you ok?" he asked putting his arms around me and holding tight.

I smiled and just hugged him. I know he will be so excited. "I am ok babe. I just accidentally knocked over the hair gel. No worries. How about we go rest ok? Maybe popcorn and a movie." He nodded and off we walked. We sat watching The Woman In Black on Demand and eating a huge bowl of cheese flavored popcorn. I snuggled to him and fell asleep content.

~~~~

A week had passed and it was Johnny's birthday. He was out with the others as I put together a huge party for him. A cake sat in the oven baking and balloons crowded the ceiling. I had decorations up the wazoo. I smiled as I wrapped the pregnancy test up after putting it in it's special box. I put a bow on it and laid it with the other presents on the table.

I heard Zack's motorcycle pull into the driveway. He was supposed to come earlier to help me decorate but he seems to be late. I walked to the front yard and watched as he got off his bike, removed his helmet, and set it on the handle bars. I crossed my one foot over the other. "You are late Vengeance."

Zack sighed. "I know I'm sorry. Riley was sick this morning so we had to get him better and clean up his accidents." I pouted seeing his frown. "I really am sorry."

I nodded. "It's alright Zack. I understand. But you can help me with the cake once it is done. How is Hope? She didn't get her brother's sickness did she?" Zack shook his head. "Does this mean that you and Ry and the kids will miss the party?"

"Maybe. We're not sure yet. depends on how he feels in a few hours. If he feels better we'll risk it. If not we'll have to stay home." I nodded and we waited for the cake to finish baking. We messed around and then I pulled him aside. "Bri what is wrong?"

"Well I want to tell you something for in case you and Ryan can't make it. I have know for a week now. I'm pregnant Zacky. We finally stop trying and I get pregnant..." Zack gasped and hugged me. "I wrapped the pregnancy test as one of his presents."

Zack smiled. "Well congratulations. If we can't make it I will definitely tell Ryan. If we can make it I will keep my mouth shut. I promise."

Dear God 02

Zack went home to check on his family after we decorated the cake. The cake was a beautiful bat shaped cake with Happy Birthday written on the wings. I know he will love it. I smiled and hid the cake away in the fridge. I heard a car outside. I looked out the window and saw a Black Mustang. A man walked out with a puppy under his arm.

I walked out happily. Johnny's puppy is here! I smiled as the man looked at me. "Brian Haner?" I nodded. "My name is Andrew. My husband said to deliver this little guy to you."

I smiled and took the puppy. "He's so cute! Thank you for him! Tell your husband thank you. I got him as a present for my husband."

"Well I am glad he is going to a good home." I nodded. We had a few more sentences between us and the guy left. I walked inside with puppy in hand. I went into the bathroom and set it on the floor.

"Stay. Good Rottweiler puppy. Your daddy is gonna love you so much. I know he is." I kissed the pups nose and walked off closing the bathroom door behind me. I went to wait for the guests to arrive then for the guys to bring Johnny into the front door for his surprise party. I kinda lied to him saying I felt sick and didn't want to get him sick as well. He reluctantly went with the guys to look over things for the band.

We still do tours and albums but we have all gotten jobs as well. I used to work at a Verizon store as I said but I got fired. Matt never stayed at one place. He kept moving from job to job since he was not finding a job that he liked or that suited him. Zack works at a library in town. Jimmy is a cashier at the local store in town. Ryan works at Barnes & Noble. Johnny is a Chef at a famous restaurant in town. He works the morning and afternoon shift so that night is ours. Right now I am the only one jobless.

I sighed putting out the last of the snacks at the guests started to filter into the house. Then the fun came. Waiting for Johnny to arrive. We heard the vehicles and everyone hid behind couches and in hallways or closets. I just sat on the couch like it was a daily occurrence. The door opened and Johnny walked in. Me and the guests hopped up and yelled Surprise! Johnny gasped and jumped back against Zack who held him up.

I went to Johnny and kissed him on the lips. I put my arms round his neck and his arms snaked round my waist joining at my lower back. I smiled at him. "Happy Birthday my love." He smiled at me. "This is gonna be a birthday you will never forget. I swear to god you won't forget it."

Johnny blushed. "Oh? And why is that? Did you get me a pet dragon?"

I laughed and shook my head. "No and I can't tell. It will ruin the surprise. But it's a big day. We have cake and presents and games and everything." Johnny nodded. "So we shall begin! First some games ok?" He nodded and I smiled.

I smiled as we spent hours playing games in the yard and things of that nature. Then came time for cake. Johnny sat outside in the yard at a picnic table with friends and family. I walked inside to get the cake. I brought it out and smiled. Everyone started singing Happy Birthday, I set the bat shaped cake before him and smiled as he looked at it. The candles on top lined out the bat as well as had special candles for it's eyes. They were red special candles that gave off a red flame. He looked at me and smiled. "You made his didn't you?" I nodded with a blush. "And you tell me all the time that you have no cooking talent. Do you see this cake? This is talent. I know we have no bat shaped pans in that kitchen. You are a master."

I blushed. "Just blow out your candles you wanker." I heard a noise in the front of the house. "Hold your breath." I walked through the house to the front and saw Zack with Ryan and the kids. "Oh you're just in time! We're doing the cake now! Come to the back yard!" I led Zack and his family. Hope and Riley ran to Johnny and hugged him giving birthday kisses. I smiled thinking of our baby doing that as well one day. Finally Johnny blew out the candles. I smiled as the kids helped him remove candles mostly to get the icing off them.

We all sat eating the Chocolate Bat cake when all of a sudden barking was heard from in the house. I turned and watched in shock as the dog ran out. How the hell did the dog get out?! Everyone is in the yard! No one is in the house! The dog ran around like a it was in a race. No one could catch it. Johnny stood and got into it's path. "SIT!" Johnny yelled in his scary voice. The dog skidded to a stop and actually peed itself. The dog sat at his feet tail between it's legs.

I walked over and sighed. "Happy Birthday honey... Seems he broke outta the bathroom..." He looked at me as if shocked. "What Johnny?"

"You got me a dog? Aw babe... He's adorable! Even if he is sitting in his own piss." I smiled and kissed him. "I say we name him Batty. He is a little nuts and cause you know... The death bat!" I laughed and nodded. "Can I have my other presents now?" I nodded and the guys helped me bring out presents. We put the dog in a collar which was in a present I had Johnny open first. His presents ranged from cooking items to leather pants. Then the last present sat in front of him. It was a rectangular box in black wrapping paper with a blood red bow. Johnny opened it revealing a bracelet box. I smiled in anticipation. He opened the box and gasped. "Brian? Are you...? I...?" He held up the test with the two pink lines. I nodded. "Bri!" He walked over and hugged me tight. "Everything will be fine my love" He promised stroking my hair. "I swear I will protect you and our baby every step of the way you have my word." He added kissing my forehead as friends and family cheered in the background.

~Johnny POV~

The next morning I woke up early and headed downstairs to fix an orange juice smoothie for Brian.  I hummed to myself as I put the ingredients in the blender. Brian was due downstairs any moment and I wanted to make him something I know he will be able to eat and keep down. For my poor love that was smoothies. So each meal was accompanied with a smoothie that was full of nutrients and vitamins for him and the baby.

At that moment I heard a door slam and Brian's groaning as he threw up. I felt a tear burn in my eyes as I wished I could do more to ease Brian's distress. But sadly I can't.  "God damn it I hate this fucking nausea!" Brian swore as he walked down the stairs and into the kitchen.

"I wish there was something I could do for you" I said sympathetically

"Unless you can find a cure to morning sickness without harming the baby you really can't do a damn thing Johnny." He pointed out then noticed the smoothie "What's this?" He asked me.

"It's an orange juice smoothie, I made it for you since you can't keep any food down right now." I said going back to cooking his omelet.  Brian's eyes welled with tears and he wrapped his arms around my waist from behind and kissed the back of my neck.

"Thanks honey and I'm sorry I snapped at you like such a dickweed" he sobbed wiping the tears from his cheek.

"It's ok Brian these emotions and hormones are normal, it's all part of pregnancy... Hey" he said lifting Brian's chin so Brian had to look him in the eye.  "I love you"

  I grabbed the phone and called to make him an appointment to see the baby within. "I love you too Johnny" he said kissing me on the lips and then sitting down to enjoy his smoothie. I smiled and handed him his omelette on a plate. "Try to eat it ok?" He nodded and I turned to make my own omelette. once it was done I sat and we ate together.

~~~~

A few days later we headed to the clinic and sat down to wait for Ryan's Uncle, Dr. Roy Fletcher to examine Brian and the baby. "Any wagers or bets you wanna set?" I asked as Brian glanced at a Parenting magazine.

"Like what?" Brian wandered lowering the magazine for a moment.

"Like a bet on what the baby's sex is gonna be or when the due date will be?" I replied with a smirk.

"Nah...I wanna wait and see." Brian decided putting the magazine back up and glancing at it again. A part of me could tell he got sad. Was my joke taken the wrong way? Did I hurt him while trying to make him laugh?

"Brian Haner?" A male nurse called out making me jump a bit. Brian looked at me with a smirk.

"Coming" he answered as we got up and followed him down the hall to the exam rooms.  He led us down a hall to a door numbered Exam Room #6. He opened the door so and motioned us to go in first then shut the door saying the doctor would be along in a minute.

there was a knock and the door opened. "Ok Brian it says here that you want a prenatal exam correct?" Roy said as he sat in a chair while Brian sat on the bed fidgeting nervously.

"Yeah I took a pregnancy test a few weeks ago and it came up positive. We just wanted a doctor's opinion even though I barf my brains out every morning." Brian answered starting to feel nauseous again.

"Ok well I can give you a blood and urine test if you want total accuracy but it could take at least an hour and a half if you don't mind waiting" Roy explained.

"No not at all" I answered as Brian grabbed the trashcan and threw up yet again.

"Very well then... I just need to take two vials of blood and I'll need you to fill this cup for me" He said handing Brian a small sample cup. He lifted Brian's sleeve to collect the blood as Brian lifted his head up wiping his mouth and setting the trash can aside.

"I'm so sorry" he groaned angrily.

"It's ok morning sickness is normal and will go away by three months tops" he explained as he tied off the pressure to Brian's arm and then drew the blood.

"Terrific" Brian moaned as I rubbed his shoulders sympathetically.

"Ok... Blood has been drawn, now you can head to the bathroom and get my urine sample" he said bandaging Brian's arm and undoing the tie.

"Be right back" Brian said and headed to the bathroom.  Twenty minutes later Brian came back out with the cup half full and handed it to Roy.

"Alright thank you and I'll be right back with the results of your tests" he said and then headed out of the room Brian yawned and climbed onto the bed and was asleep in minutes.  I covered him up and laid my hand on his belly then knelt beside him

"Dear God... It's me Johnny Seward, hi how are you? Listen I know I haven't prayed much in a long time but I'm praying now... If Brian is pregnant, please, please help us keep it safe, nurtured, and loved through these upcoming nine months. You know my friend Ryan Fletcher and the agony that he went through just to have Riley, but I don't want us to endure that, losing this baby would definitely throw him over the ledge and the stress alone would ruin us... So please find it in your heart to help us through this... And on my behalf I will try to pray each night before I go to bed and even try to get us to attend church... In your holy name I pray... Amen" I finished bowing his head.  I brought my head back up minutes later as Brian's hand gripped mine and I saw tears soaking the pillow.

"That... Was beautiful" he sobbed as I kissed his hand and then stood up.

"I really want our little miracle to make it honey" I sobbed as tears glistened in my eyes as well then laid beside him and we fell asleep in each others arms.  Finally after god knows how long Roy came back into the room and woke us up to give us the results.

"Ok Brian your results are in and you're officially a month pregnant!" he announced as Brian and my eyes got wide and our jaws dropped.

"Oh my god Johnny...we're gonna have a baby!" he cried as we got up and hugged.

Roy then gave Brian his prenatal vitamins and our baby's first picture then they went to lunch. After lunch was over we drove to Ryan and Zack's House and were surprised when we spotted Jimmy's Mini-Van. Well we were kinda surprised. I mean Zack and Jimmy are brothers after all. "What is going on here?" I said as I parked our car. I got out and went to Brian's side to wait for him.

"I don't know. Did they have a shindig and not invite us?" he asked getting out when suddenly Riley and Hope came from around outback with Terra and Tanya on their heels.

"Uncle Johnny, Uncle Brian!" they squealed running over and into my arms then into Brian's

"Easy guys be gentle" Brian warned as he kissed their foreheads. He was already maternal.

"Okay" they chorused and headed off just as Matt's Mom Mrs. Sanders came out to see what the commotion was.

"Hello Brian and Johnny. How are things going with the baby? No problems I hope?" She said hugging and kissing us both on the cheek

"Good! We have some news for everyone actually. Wanna lead us to the backyard?" I asked with a smile. She nodded and then led us out back to where Matt and Ryan were playing with the kids and Zach and Jimmy were grilling burgers and hot dogs.

"Johnny c'mere!" Ryan shouted waving me over with a smile. "Uncle Roy called me. Said you left something in the clinic. He's gonna bring it by later. How did it go? Was the pregnancy test right?" I smirked. "Everyone quiet there's news to be shared!" Ryan shouted cupping his hands to his mouth making everyone stop what they were doing.

"Brian, Johnny you have the ground" Ryan said clapping my shoulder as Brian walked over to me and hugged me round the waist.

"Well...you wanna tell them Brian or should I?" I asked him.

"Nah I got it" Brian insisted "Johnny and I... are gonna have a baby I'm officialy pregnant!" he announced as Mrs. Sanders started crying while Matt, Jimmy, Ryan and Zach applauded and rained congratulations on us while the kids squealed with delight at the prospect of a new cousin.

"It's gonna be a girl!" Terra exclaimed

"Fat chance it's a boy!" Riley argued

"I say girl!" Tanya added

"Me too." Hope agreed

"It has to be a boy there too many of you." Riley argued

"We just have to wait and see what it is guys now calm down" Ryan demanded as he set up the kid's picnic table. The picnic was cut short though when it started to rain so everyone quickly hurried inside and continued the celebration there. Then once the party was over we headed home to watch a movie together and then go up to bed. And true to my word before I went to sleep I got on my knees beside the bed and prayed for Brian and the baby's safety as well as my own.

~Brian's POV~

I awoke the next morning to find Johnny's side of the bed empty and sat up confused until my hand brushed across a piece of paper and I picked it up to read, it said.

Brian,
I went to work but I promise I will be home as soon as my shift ends, text me, and let me know what you want for dinner and I'll bring it home with me.
Love you
Johnny

“Ok I will” I spoke aloud getting out of bed and grabbing my cell phone off the charger dock I pressed his number and entered in a text that read <b>Grab me some chicken soup with crackers.</b> Then pressed send before running to the bathroom to vomit again. This morning sickness was the pits and I wished like hell that it would go away soon. Though I was thrilled to be giving Johnny the child we'd always dreamed of I was sick of being pregnant already. Not only did the morning sickness suck but I was also getting sick of the hormones.

Like for instance last week Johnny and I had had dinner with Matt and Jimmy and Terra was telling us all the story of Sleeping Beauty and I snapped because of the witch Maleficent and then started crying and had to be excused from the table so yeah that was getting old. However one thing has changed for the better and that is me and Johnny's sex life we go at it almost every other night and man is he good. He knows what is ok and what isn't so that we don't jar the baby.

I then opened the fridge and smiled for Johnny had made me a day's supply of smoothies, I grabbed one and sipped it down then headed upstairs to the adjoining room next to me and Johnny's that yesterday we decided on making the nursery for our upcoming newborn. I got on my overalls and opened the white paint to paint over the beige walls and then grabbed a brush and began painting. Johnny had already unscrewed all the outlets and lightswitches and also taped off the edges so now it was a cake walk. I was in the middle of painting when there was a knock on the door and I headed down to answer it “Can I help you?” I asked looking at the young woman standing at our door

“Yeah I hate to interrupt you but my car died and I'm late for a luncheon and also my phone died, can I please use your phone?” she asked sheeplishly.

“Sure c'mon in” I said leading her into the living room “It's over there by the recliner” I said pointing it out

“Thanks again Mr...?”

“Brian...Haner” I said shaking her hand

“Patricia Andrews.” she said as she removed her hand and grabbed the phone.
