"Thomas," Gally complains for what feels like the millionth time.
On the couch, Thomas has all his books and papers spread out. He's studying for his English final, and he just has to pass it. If he passes, it will bring his grade up enough so that he'll pass the class. Thomas hates English. Whoever came up with the idea of English is evil, Thomas thinks.
His husband is in the kitchen taking care of their daughter, Alyssa. They adopted her a few months ago, and Gally always complains that she doesn't like him. Alyssa's screaming her head off right now, making it impossible for Thomas to concentrate on studying.
Thomas groans and puts his face in his hands, then puts his huge textbook on his couch and gets up. He goes into the kitchen and picks up Alyssa, murmuring soothing words to her. Alyssa calms down in seconds. "Thomas, she hates me," Gally says, his eyes shining with tears. Thomas' heart breaks a little. "She cries every time I try to hold her and she quiets down the second I give her to you."
"Gally, no, of course she doesn't hate you," Thomas says, bouncing the baby on his hip. "She's probably exhausted from her playdate with Newt and Alby's kids. Just...read to her and try to get her to go to sleep."
"Thomas, please, you gotta help me." Gally's giving Thomas that look that he knows his husband can't resist, and the brown-haired boy falls in love with Gally all over again.
Thomas sighs. "Fine...but you have to quiz me while I try to calm her down," he says.
"Deal." Gally leans over for a kiss and Thomas closes his eyes, savoring the moment.
They go in the living room in their small apartment and Thomas says, "Here, quiz me on this."
They work well as a team, whereas they didn't when they first met. Before long, Thomas has three chapters of vocab words memorized, and while Alyssa isn't falling asleep yet, she's getting there. Thomas smiles down at her. "See how cute she is?" The baby's looking at Gally with those wide green eyes, her blond hair French braided in two braids.
Gally smiles a little. "I...I think I want to hold her," he says.
Thomas beams at his husband and starts to hand Alyssa over to him when she promptly throws up all over Thomas. Gally bursts out laughing, so hard tears stream down his face. "Yeah, yeah, it's hilarious," Thomas says. Geez, that really smells disgusting. "Here, you can have her." He holds Alyssa out to his husband.
Gally's laughing so hard he can barely talk. "No, no, I'm good, you keep her," he manages.
Thomas glares. "Shank," he says, but he's just teasing. He's glad Alyssa cheered him up and he knows that she and Gally will be really close.
"I love this kid," Gally howls.
"Okay," Thomas says. "Well, then. I'm just going to put Alyssa in her crib and then I'm going to shower, if you want to join me, shank."
Gally immediately stops laughing as Thomas starts towards Alyssa's room. "Coming," he says quickly, and follows Thomas into their daughter's room.
AN: Hope you all enjoyed! Review please?
