Loving Life

My name is Andrew Cisneros. I'm a celebrity chef if you didn't already know, and I am happily married to Tanner Jensen.

Holy…[He runs to grab the overnight bag before running out to the car] Alright! Come on! Come on! We’re having babies!

[andrewcisnerosbay]

Andrew grabbed the overnight bag he always kept near the door, just for this purpose. Marcy, their surrogate, had gone into labor and it was time to go to the hospital. Andrew peeled out of the driveway and sped down the road, blowing the occasional stop sign. He couldn't believe it. Years of marriage and he and Tanner were going to have children now. They pulled into the hospital parking lot, and Andrew sprinted inside, hand in hand with Tanner.

[He puts the knife down and frowns a little] What’s wrong, Andrew?

[andrewcisnerosbay]

[He walks behind Tanner and begins pushing him out the door.] Marcy has gone into labor. We need to go to the hospital. NOW.

[Tanner is standing a tthe counter, cutting up the vegetables that his husband had told him to. He work hard before he hears the man’s voice and turns.] Can it not wait until ater dinner, babe?

[andrewcisnerosbay]

[Andrew looks at Tanner as if he had three heads] No. We need to go. Now.

[Andrew is on the phone. Clearly it is important. He furrows his brow, as color begins to drain from his face.]

[He ends the call.] Tanner. Get in the car.

[andrewcisnerosbay]

Oh thank god... I thought you were going to say that you were filming in Guam or something...

This is great! What kind of movie is it?

[andrewcisnerosbay]

Ummm...

[phoenixflyingsolo]

Still don’t know who you are. Also, noone just does things without a motive.

So, what’s the catch?

[andrewcisnerosbay]

Andrew Cisneros. Food Network Chef and restaurateur extraordinaire.

No catch. Promise.

Just got offered a huge acting job...

[tanner-jensen-blog-blog]

I was offered a role in a movie…

[andrewcisnerosbay]

Uh huh.....

[tanner-jensen-blog-blog]

Just got offered a huge acting job...

This could really change everything for me…

[andrewcisnerosbay]

Tanner? What do you mean?

[andrewcisnerosbay]

Ummm...

[phoenixflyingsolo]

Well, here’s the thing, Mister: First, I have no idea who you are, and second, I don’t take charity. So name your price first, because I don’t accept any gifts from strangers, no matter what form they take.

[andrewcisnerosbay]

Price is of no importance to me. You obviously cannot pay me, but I can ask that you help someone out of your own heart for nothing in return.

[andrewcisnerosbay]

Ummm...

[phoenixflyingsolo]

Uhm…. yesterday? The day before? i don’t remember…

[andrewcisnerosbay]

Not eating is bad. I'll feed you and let you crash for a bit if you want.

[andrewcisnerosbay]

Ummm...

[phoenixflyingsolo]

Well……. I had some ramen noodles before I was kicked out?

[andrewcisnerosbay]

If you don't mind me asking... How long ago was that?

[andrewcisnerosbay]

Ummm...

[phoenixflyingsolo]

I’m pretty sure it is….

Clever boy….. do you think i’d be complaining about the cold if I could just turn up the heat at home?….

[andrewcisnerosbay]

-shrugs-

Just observing things. A-are you... y'know... eating? I can help you... I'm a Food Network chef...

[andrewcisnerosbay]

Ummm...

[phoenixflyingsolo]

yeah, don’t think it will…. not before I’m frozen to death….

congratulations. Whoop-de-doo, you’ve seen me walk down a street, now what?

[andrewcisnerosbay]

Oh, it's not THAT cold!

You look a bit down on your luck. Do you have a home?

[andrewcisnerosbay]

Ummm...

[phoenixflyingsolo]

Always lived in Hawaii, so yeah, this is like the arctic to me…

I don’t know, was it?

[andrewcisnerosbay]

The feeling'll pass. Promise.

It was. You're the kid I saw. I'm sure of it...

[andrewcisnerosbay]

Ah, Vancouver.

[tanner-jensen-blog-blog]

[He can’t help but to let a laugh escape before pressing their foreheads together.]

You know there’s only a couple more weeks where it’s just us.

[andrewcisnerosbay]

My point exactly. I'm thinking dinner and then we go to the bedroom?

[andrewcisnerosbay]

Ummm...

[phoenixflyingsolo]

Well, Canada or not, it’s fucking cold. I miss Hawaii. 

[andrewcisnerosbay]

Eh. I grew up in Puerto Rico, but lived in New York. I guess I learned to get used to it...

Those... It was you... Wasn't it?
