Dragoon was staring face to face with a piece of wood with a face drawn on it.  "Are you sure bout this" the boy holding it said and received a nod.  The boy placed the board down and steped back a couple feet.  Dragoon took a deep breath stretched his wings and blew.  Fire came out engulfing the piece of wood with black and teal fire.  The other boy sighed tears in his eyes.  "Good bye Plank, but don't worry you will be reborn soon" the boy softly cooed staring at the burning wood.  Plank was gone now and the boy cried.  Looking up at the man who destroyed his beloved friend claiming they can have a real Plank.  The man had marbled teal and black hair that fell to his mid back in a ponytail, a black trench coat covered up scars on his arms going from his elbows to his shoulder blades.  He wore black cargo pants.  His bangs fell over his left eye and when moved from his eye it was clear he was blind in that eye.  Piercings covered both his ears and one in each eyebrow, a ring coming from his right nostril and snake bites in his lip.  The boy was sure he had more.  When he flew to his mates screams he was shocked to find someone as imitating as him but that was a few years back.  Now the boy was going to have their kid any day now and they decided to name it Plank after his friend he had for forever.  "Johnny are you sure that was alright I mean you had Plank since forever ago"  the man asked wrapping his arms around his mate.  
                          
Johnny had moved out of the Cul-de-Sack overnight and dropped out of school to have a future with his mate.  Johnny snuggled into his lovers arms when a ring of the phone interrupted them.  "It's prob the band saying practice is over or something one minute" Dragoon said as he lightly kissed Johnny's head as he got up to the phone.  "Hello Shadowpainter residence, oh hi mom yeah everything is fine here.  No he hasn't given birth yet, but any day now"  Johnny got up and stared at his ring finger.  A gold ring placed there last year the same gold ring placed on his mates ring finger as well to signal they are married in their race since they couldn't get married for real.  A sudden noise startled him and jumped and went over to his mate who made the noise.  "So you told him about me eh? And wait he has a mate but isn't he not even 18 yet?  Ah O.k we will be over tomorrow"  Dragoon said as he looked over at his mate who was now on the ground holding his bulged stomach.  Going over to him with the phone in between his shoulder and and ear.  "Johnny are you alright?  Please talk to me" he asked his mate worried something was wrong.  "I think I'm going into labor Dragoon" the boy answered looking up in pain.  "Uh mom i think I gotta cancel I have to get Johnny to the hospital, like right now.  O.k I will text you the room and everything once I get there O.k bye, love ya and see ya later" Dragoon was in a panic now he knew he had to get him to a hospital ASAP.  He picked up the figure up with ease and took him to the car and placed him in car and soon they were off.
                          
 "I think my husband is in labor I need help now"  he told the nurse once he knew that she was one of their race.  "There are only two doctors that are like us but I will get them to watch over him come with me you have paperwork to fill out.  It will only take a moment" she answered knowing what was happening.  "Dragoon" Johnny looked up at him with need in his eyes.  Dragoon knew that His mate needed him by his side more than ever.  "Fine give it to me now I will fill it out then go to his side he needs me"  huffed an angry Dragoon who took the papers and signed them in a hurry then bolted towards his mate.  "You will be all right my love I promise I will be right here when you get out and we will have a child to proudly call ours" Dragoon softly cooed as he kissed his mate as he went into surgery. "Where is the room he will be staying at" he asked the nurse after his mate was gone.  "Room 28" she answered.  Dragoon nodded and grabbed his cell to text his parents and Johnny's that he has given birth and what room he was staying at if they wanted to see their grand child.  
                          
"Guys I can't make it to band practice today my lover is in hospital giving birth" he told his band mates.  In response he got awe's and come on's they needed their guitar player.  Dragoon sighed and flopped on a chair in room 28.  He couldn't believe it, he himself had just turned 22 and Johnny was 17.  'Now I need to pick up a couple more part time jobs so we can have a life' he thought to himself and sighed again.  
                          
A couple hours later Johnny was in the room holding a baby boy.  Dragoon had an arm around his mate and let his son play with his fingers that weren't covered up with rings.  "He looks like you Dragoon" Johnny softly cooed and Dragoon nodded.  "He also looks like you, love of my life" Dragoon answered.  "My little Plank" they said together without noticing earning happy cooing from the baby.
