Can We?
Randy wants to have a baby with his Johnny
John awoke and stretched his tired and well used muscles. He looked over at the still sleeping man next to him and smiled. Looking down at his left hand he smiled even more. The man next to him was now his husband and that made him extraordinarily happy. John slipped out of the bed careful not to wake his husband and went to the balcony of their bungalow in Bora Bora. He stared out at the beautiful surroundings taking everything in, breathing the refreshing air when he felt a pair of arms wrap around his waist
"Good morning Randy."
"Morning hubby." John smiled and Randy kissed one of his dimples. "Are you hungry?" John turns to look in Randy's eyes and Randy laughs. "I mean for actual food. We're taking a break from sex for now. You wore me out last night."
"That was my plan. I need a rest." Randy playfully slaps him
"Oh John, I'm not that bad." John looked at him with a raised eyebrow while Randy just laughed. Randy ordered their breakfast then joined John in the shower while waiting for the food to arrive
"I thought you said that I wore you out."
"I thought you said that you were tired."
"Touché." Later John watched as Randy stabbed at his eggs but didn't eat them. He sighed. "What's the matter?"
"Huh?"
"Don't huh me. You're not eating your breakfast and you look forlorn so what's up?"
"It's nothing John. Finish your breakfast."
"It is something." John pushes his chair from the table and pats his lap. "Come on." Randy got up and sat in John's lap wrapping his arms around his neck. "Tell big daddy what's going on."
"What do you think about kids?"
"You know I love kids…wait – you mean for us?"
"Well yea."
"So you want to adopt a kid? I mean, how old? Are we talking a newborn, toddler…an eight year old?"
"No, that's not what I meant. Have you ever seen that movie Junior?"
"The one where Arnold Schwarzenegger has a baby?"
"Yea, that's the one."
"I've seen it." Randy shifts uncomfortably in John's lap
"Well…"
"Well what?"
"John."
"Wait a damn minute – are you trying to tell me Randy, that you're able to have a baby?" Randy just looks at him sadly. John massages his temples and sighs. "Get up."
"Johnny."
"Get up now." Randy stands and backs away from his husband. John starts to pace around the room
"Please don't be mad with me for not telling you."
"Why haven't you told me until now? How have I not gotten you pregnant yet?"
"There are pills."
"There are pills." John says mockingly. "Goddamn it Randy!"
"Why are you yelling?"
"Why am I – why am I yelling? Oh, I don't know. Maybe because the man I've been with for over four years just decided to tell me that he's able to bear children! If I had long hair, I would rip it out right now."
"John, does this make you love me any less?" John stopped his pacing and sighed. Randy really knew how to get to him
"Of course it doesn't. I will always love you no matter what…this is just shocking and I wish that you would have told me sooner. I deserved to know." Randy walked over and slipped his arms around John
"I know and I'm sorry but this is something I had a hard time coming to terms with. Men shouldn't be able to have babies."
"If you believe that then why did you tell me?"
"I want to have your baby. Can we have a baby?"
"I'd love for you to have my baby but,"
"There's always a but with you John."
"Be quiet. What about work? What are you going to do about that?"
"I won't be going to work obviously. I'm okay with that baby, I've already thought about it."
"So you're going to be a stay-at-home mom?" Randy stomps his foot
"I'm not a woman John."
"Whatever. When are we going to do this? How do we do this?"
"From what I understand I have to make an appointment with my doctor for some tests, stop taking the pills and let nature take its course." John kisses Randy sweetly
"Okay. Make the appointment for a day when we're both off so I can go with you." Randy smiles
"Thank you Johnny."
