Moon, Sky and Lexi. 31It was the fourth night and Sky woke up again. Lexi was sleeping with Conrad since Noah was out of city with Marky.Sky saw Moon was thrashing in the bed, speaking some intangible language. Sky turned on the lamp and looked at him. He was sweating profusely and his breath was coming in short puffs.“Moon. Buddy”. Sky tried to hold his hand but that didn’t help at all. He shook him gently by tapping on his cheeks and Moon opened his eyes with a jolt. He was looking at Sky but Sky knew he wasn’t looking at him. He had not recognized him.His eyeballs were moving frantically as if trying to settle on something familiar.“It’s me, Sky. You are safe Moon. Come here”. Sky gently maneuvered him so that Moon was sprawling on him. He kept racking his damp hair with fingers until Moon calmed down, until his breath settled.He didn’t say anything and waited, waited until he felt the front of his tank tops getting wet. He let him cry it out. He rubbed his back, feeling the

Moon, Sky and Lexi. 33Lexi opened the door and went inside to the lounge with Sky following him, tugging Moon’s wheelchair.He was about to call his Dad but fell silent to see the clothes all over the place.“Guys…. Umm… Is it….”? He picked a pair of black briefs and turned around for Sky and Moon to see. Sky looked at the tangling piece of cloth and then all around.“I think it’s...” Sky gulped and Moon coughed into his fist.“Do you think we should call them or”? Sky looked at Moon who had this glint in his eyes that meant he was up to no good.“Uh, no. I think we should wait in the lounge for them to finish whatever they are do ….” Uhmm... yeah.They looked at each other as a loud sound came from their dad’s bedroom and fell silent. Lexi looked at both of his elder brothers with horrified eyes and Sky failed to hold his laughter.He fell down on the carpet, rolling out, holding his stomach. He was wheezing at this point and was not able to catch his breath. Moon was no different.

Moon, Sky and Lexi. 35Noah looked at the door and put the book down that he was reading. Conrad had went upstairs to hand him a few clothes that he had left downstairs in his bedroom but Noah could see the clothes still in his hands and he was rather quiet…“What happened? You didn’t give him his things back”? He asked Conrad who put his things on the table and went to stand in the window.Typical overthinking and worried Conrad.Noah took off his reading glasses and went to stand behind Conrad, taking him in his arms.“What’s wrong? You went upstairs to give the things back to him and then you came back and didn’t give the things either. Did Moon or kids say anything”? Noah kissed his temple gently.“No, I… they were busy”. Conrad tried to say something but fell silent.“Busy? As in resting”? Noah was confused for a while but then realized what he meant.“Hmmmm. Come here”. He took Conrad to the sofa, turning off all the lights except the lamps to keep a warm glow.“We knew it would

Moon, Sky and Lexi. 38“Moon, wake up it is almost eleven in the morning”. Moon stirred as Conrad woke him up in the morning.“It’s weekend Mommy. I don’t need to go to the office”. He murmured in his sleep and turned the other side. It had been three days since his discussion with his dads and since then he had been avoiding everything and everyone religiously.He would go to the office, get busy with the load of work and come back home where he would have dinner with everyone and retire to his bedroom, alone. He had not talked to anyone about what he had decided and he knew Sky and Lexi were suffering but honestly he had no answer to their silent questions.Every day he would think of a hundred and one scenarios and then decline them and no matter how many times he refused to admit, he knew he should have left home when it was time.“I know it is a weekend, but everyone is here to spend time with us. Your grandparents are here, your uncles are here and their children too. They want t

Moon, Sky and Lexi 37.“Dada, are you free”? Moon knocked at his dad’s bedroom and entered once he heard them asking him to come inside.Conrad raised his eyebrows to look at Moon followed by Sky and Lexi, entering their bedroom. Noah looked at them too from reading his file and put it aside.“What happened kids? It seems serious”. Conrad gave them his undivided attention to listen to whatever they wanted to say.“I uh… I actually discussed it with Dad in the office but he gave me a better option to talk this at home with Lexi and you, and then decide for further process, so I thought to talk to both of you at the same time rather than one by one”. Moon took a deep breath as he looked expectedly at Conrad.Lexi moved to crawl and sit with Conrad because he was as confused as Conrad and he found it best option to sit with Conrad.“I want to come out to all of the family members. I know Marky knows about us; I, Sky and Lexi, but no one else knows and it is gonna be a tough thing when it
