Family

Time to go (part 2) ☑️

Mitch was waiting for a guard to take him to the court room to his lawyer and boyfriend, who should be sitting right behind him. The morning view was beautiful and he hoped for just as beautiful decision of the judge.

"Grassi, come here, it's time." The guard called from behind him.

Mitch turned to him, shocked because he didn't hear him come. He went to the open bars and let the guard take him to his seat. He smiled, when he saw Aaron and Todrick. "Good morning, guys." He said as soon as stood by them.

"Why so cheerful?" Todrick chuckled.

Mitch shrugged. "I see my boyfriend, my friend and if luck is on my side, I will see my daughters, sister and nieces. So why not be cheerful?" He looked at the people by the other table.

"Just don't jinx it. And I will talk to you about that little bruise on your chin." Aaron whispered and sat back as the judge came.

Judge seated everyone and looked at each table. "Aah, Mister Grassi, we see each other again. And I'm guessing the man behind you is the boyfriend." He motioned to Reno.

Mitch stood up. "Yes, your honor."

"Well, hopefully he brings you as much luck as you brought him." He smiled.

Mitch looked at Aaron quickly and then back at the judge. "He already does, sir, but thank you." He sat down and let the trail begin.

The process dragged all through the day until 4pm, when he was cleared of all the charges and his record shown innocent yet again.

As soon as he heard the verdict he hugged Todrick. "Thanks for the trust that I could get you out."

"Thanks for getting me out, man. Thanks for all of this, you didn't have to do any of it." He laughed as they let go. "I can't be thankful enough." He turned to his boyfriend and pulled him close. "I missed you so much." He whispered.

Reno laid his head on Mitch's shoulder. "Not more than I did." They let go and walked out of the building. "If you had to choose, who would you want too see first?"

Mitch looked at him. "Are you seriously asking me, which kid of mine I want to see first?" He chuckled.

"You could have said your girls together or your sister or nieces or literally anybody. I never said how many." Reno laughed.

Todrick led them to his car. "Well then, both of you in. Time to go, we're already late."

Aaron gave him a look. "Where are we going?"

Todrick leaned closer to his ear. "Surprise welcome home party at Kimy's." He whispered and looked at Mitch to be sure he didn't hear him.

"But it's for him, why am I being included? They haven't even met me, they don't even know about my existence." He didn't understand what was happening.

Todrick laughed. "Oh, believe me, they know. Mitch told Kimy he's dating his cellmate and she can't keep a secret whatsoever, so they all probably know. But don't worry, they accepted me the way I am, so no need to worry about anything like that." He patted Aaron's shoulder and pushed him gently into the car as well.

He sat behind the wheel and started the car. He looked at the back seat, where the couple was. Mitch noticed him and smiled. "How am I going to repay you?"

"By showing up to work tomorrow." Todrick chuckled.

Mitch furrowed his eyebrows. "What's that supposed to mean?"

"Umm, that you're my assistant and I would appreciate if you were behind your desk tomorrow. How does it sound?" He shook his head with another chuckle. "I mean you won't be getting any cases for a while, but if I remember correctly you liked the paperwork more."

Mitch's jaw went down. Reno laughed and pushed it back up. "Are you like fairy godmother or something? You're doing wonders over here." They laughed.

"You were my best assistant, I want you back by that phone and desk. I think that you will be even happier when you hear the other news too." Todrick's eyes moved to the other man.

Mitch looked too and then his eyes shifted between the two men few times. "Your fairy godmother gave a job. Nothing as special as you, but it is something I'm thankful for." Mitch's eyes nearly fell out of the skull.

"You two are making me speechless. What's next? My kids have blown up the house together?" They laughed. "But you wouldn't be this cheerful, so who knows what other surprises you have."

Todrick fought back a smile, because he knew about girls making up. "Oh, there's one more secret, but I promised to not say anything. But it's positive, that's all I can say." He looked at the road and road only to avoid Mitch's "you better tell me" look.

Mitch looked at his boyfriend in hopes to get the answer. "I have no idea what he's talking about, I don't know anything." He got his hands up in defense.

Mitch chuckled and snuggled to him. "Alright then. I will let myself to be surprised." He sighed and closed his eyes. Then he felt the one hole in the road that he remembered. "If I'm not mistaken that hole is the one I used to hit every damn time I went to my sister. I don't live that close to my sister." He murmured.

"That's because we're not going to your house, you sister asked me to bring you to her place right after the hearing. And since she's your twin I know that there's no point in arguing. So here we are. But I don't have permission to tell you why." He laughed when he saw Mitch ready to ask.

Mitch rolled his eyes with sigh. "Oh god, I should have expected it." He hid his face in Reno's shoulder. "Well, you will be happy to hear that you may meet my entire family today." He mumbled to his boyfriend's shoulder and shook his head a little. "I hoped for it to go little slower, but my twin just couldn't help herself." He pulled himself closer and sighed. "We're parking, aren't we?" He asked when he felt thee car stopping.

"Yes, my friend. Just few moments and you'll be thinking about the freedom of your cell." Todrick laughed.

Mitch chuckled. "I wish you weren't right, but on the other side this way I get to be with my girls and boyfriend, so I better survive this madness." He squeezed his boyfriend and sat up properly getting ready to step out of the car.
