Spencer woke up as he felt hands tugging the covers at the bottom of the bed, he turned and glanced at Aaron who was still asleep before looking to the end of the bed, he smiled as he could see a tuft of hair, Blaise had recently figured out how to get
out of his crib and always made his way to Spencer's room in the morning, normally they would have cuddles in bed before getting up but Spencer didn't want to wake Aaron as he doubted the man had slept much recently. He quickly got out of bed pulling
on the pyjama pants that had been discarded by the door before he scooped up a quietly giggling Blaise and made his way downstairs to start the morning routine.
Aaron awoke to an empty bed and the smell of pancakes, as he rolled over he felt that Spencer's side of the bed was still warm and so the man had not been awake long. He smiled as he got out of bed eager to see Spencer, he frowned as he looked at his
discarded clothes on the floor, he really needed something to wear. He quickly searched through Spencer's draws finding a t-shirt and pyjama pants that would have been obscenely baggy on the lithe young man. As he walked down the stairs he could hear
the sound of the television in the kitchen and Spencer talking to Blaise, he smiled this felt so natural to be here in Spencer's home. He walked through the kitchen door and smiled at the sight that greeted him, Blaise was in his highchair at the
table in the breakfast nook watching television and Spencer was at the stove flipping pancakes, frying bacon and stirring scrambled eggs all the while keeping an eye on Blaise, Spencer was such a natural at being a father Aaron thought to himself
as he crept up behind the young man, well he tried to creep up behind Spencer but this was ruined by Blaise suddenly squealing "Daddy, Uncle Aaron, it's Uncle Aaron." The little boy was jumping up and down in his seat and Spencer was immediately there
lifting the little boy and placing him on his hip before smiling at Aaron and making his way over.
"You're right Blaise, it is Uncle Aaron, he came to visit last night and decided to stay over so he could see you, now what do we say when people come to see us?"
Blaise suddenly got shy as little boys often did and started to burrow into Spencer's neck mumbling incoherently "Blaise we don't want to make Uncle Aaron sad do we? I'm sure he didn't come to see the back of your head." The little boy briefly turned
around raising a hand in the semblance of a wave before shoving his thumb in his mouth and laying his head on Spencer's shoulder stubbornly. Spencer sighed before glancing apologetically at Aaron and placing his son back in the highchair. Afterwards
he looked back to Aaron uncertainly he wasn't sure what to do in this situation, since Blaise he had only had one night stands and he always made sure they were out the door before Blaise was up and the fact was if Aaron didn't want this to be common
knowledge … well toddlers were not known for there discretion. Aaron just smiled deviously and backed Spencer into the kitchen counter before kissing him soundly on the lips. When they stopped Spencer was smiling and Aaron couldn't help but smirk.
They had a nice breakfast together with Blaise babbling away as he got himself covered in syrup.
Spencer sighed as he looked at his son, no matter what you gave him he got exceptionally messy. He turned back to Aaron "So what are your plans today?" Spencer asked as he picked up their plates and put them in the dishwasher.
Aaron hummed as he tried to wipe syrup from Blaise's face "Well, I am seeing Jack this afternoon, I was hoping you and Blaise would come with us to the zoo." Aaron made his way up to stand behind Spencer.
"Well I'm certain we could arrange that, but … you don't have to invite us Aaron, you haven't spent anytime on your own with Jack since they went into protection, I completely understand if you want some time alone with him." Spencer said unsurely, he
knew it had nearly killed Aaron being away from his son for that length of time.
Aaron smiled as he nuzzled into Spencer's neck and brought his arms around Spencer's trim waist, the fact that Spencer understood made him want the man even more "I know that I don't have to invite you, but I want to spend time together with Jack and
Blaise, I'm serious about this Spence and that means that Jack and Blaise need to get used to seeing each other."
Spencer nodded, before spinning around in Aarons hold and gently brushing his lips with his own "What time is Hayley expecting you?" Spencer hummed.
"Half twelve but we need to stop by my flat on the way so that I can get some clothes." Aaron said his breath tickling Spencer's lips.
Spencer glanced at the clock in the corner, it was half ten and he needed to get Blaise ready, "Okay then, I need to go and bathe the syrup monster." Spencer rolled his eyes.
Aaron smiled before letting Spencer go, he was looking forward to today, and he was excited to see his son. Aaron watched as Spencer picked up a sticky Blaise telling him that it was time for a bath, the little boy started to whine and Aaron braced himself
for a tantrum, but Spencer quickly put a stop to it by placing Blaise on the counter and looking directly into his son's eyes "If you go while you are sticky like this the lions will think you are food and eat you up." The little boys eyes went wide
and his bottom lip began to tremble "But if you go and have a bath, then they will know that you are my little boy and they cant eat you." The little boy began to nod his head emphatically and Spencer kissed him on the forehead before placing him
on the floor. The little boy ran off towards the bathroom and Aaron chuckled as Spencer smiled at him. As Spencer walked past after his son Aaron snagged him around the waist, pulling him to his chest.
"You are amazing with him." He murmured into Spencer's ear nibbling at the lobe.
Spencer leaned into Aaron's body; they were about the same height although Aaron was much broader. He chuckled "It has certainly been a learning curve." Aaron's lips trailed down his neck "What are you going to tell Hayley, she will find it odd if I turn
up with you to pick jack up?" he said as he turned his head to allow Aaron more access to his neck.
Aaron licked up the length of Spencer's neck "The truth, we have been split up for months and she has always known I am bisexual, you are not my subordinate and you are not going to be a dirty little secret, I really want this Spence and to be perfectly
honest I don't care if Hayley doesn't like it, she cant stop me seeing Jack and even if she tried it wouldn't work."
Spencer nodded and was about to say something when they heard a bang and a shrill cry from the bathroom Spencer was immediately out of Aaron's arms, when he got to the bathroom he saw Blaise sprawled on the floor crying his eyes out. Spencer quickly dropped
to his knee's and started soothing his son while checking for injuries he could feel Aaron hovering at the door but completely ignored him in favour of looking at the gash he found on his sons knee, it was about an inch long and quite deep, but he
didn't need stitches and a plaster would be sufficient, he picked Blaise up and gracefully got to his feet while mumbling inane reassurances to his son who had finally stopped crying and now just snuffled occasionally. He placed Blaise on the bathroom
counter and stroked his forehead "It's okay little man, only a little scratch, after your bath we will put a plaster on it and then the booboo will be all better." The little boy still looked miserable and so Spencer decided that distraction was key
"Now do you want the minion bubble bath or the paw patrol bubble bath." That did the trick and the little boy was soon playing in the bath and Spencer washed all the syrup off his face.
Aaron stood watching Spencer tend to his injured son, the tenderness in Spencer's eyes made Aaron smile, that little boy had made Spencer, the man had grown up so much these last two years and it could all be attributed to the little boy with scruffy
brown hair.
Spencer was soaking at the end of bath time, but he just laughed as he wrapped hissquirming son in a fluffy white towel and placed him on his hip "Let's get you dressed so that you can play in the playroom before we go to the zoo with Jack Jack."
The little boy squealed in excitement and Spencer could hear Aaron's laughter behind him. He quickly strode through to Blaise's room and put a pull up on the little boy before finding a T-shirt with a lion on it and pairing it with some khaki shorts.
He got the little boy dressed, found a plaster that Blaise thought wasn't girlie and then put the little boy in his playroom and ledAaron into his room. "I have some clothes you can borrow until we get to yours if you want them." Spencer said
as he turned the television on to show the video feed from the playroom.
Aaron stared at the video feed shocked; he hadn't known that there were cameras in the house Spencer caught his shocked look and explained "They are only in rooms that Blaise is in a lot, we are away so much and this means I can check on him while we
are on a case, it is also good for these situations when I am in another room." Aaron nodded, it was a good idea, and Spencer was a single parent and tried not to rely on Alison while he was home. Spencer passed him some grey jogging bottoms and a
plain black t shirtwith some white socks and underwear. Spencer dressedhimself in tight black skinny jeans (which Aaron thought were sinful) an old band t-shirt and a petrol blue hoodie. Aarons mouth watered as Spencer bent over
to put his socks on andhe had to restrain himself from bending the man over and fucking him through the mattress, but he forced himself to get dressed. He followed Spencer as he made his way to the hall closet and picked out a grey rucksack,
he then went to Blaise's room and picked up some nappies and supplies before picking out a jumper for Blaise, all this went into the bag before he went down stairs and into the kitchen and into the pantry, he put in a selection of snacks and some
juice boxes for the boys. Jack was four and it wasn't as essential to be prepared for everything but Blaise had only just turned two and always needed something while they were out.
Once everybody was ready they headed out to the cars "Are you driving with us or are we meeting you at your house?" asked Spencer as he locked the door.
Aaron thought for a moment and decided it would be easier if they all went in one car and as Blaise's pushchair was in Spencer's car and Aaron had to pick up Jack's car seat from Hayley anyway that they should all go in Spencer's car. Half an hour later
they had picked Jack up and were on the way to the zoo.
