Future
That night when they got home they headed into the kitchen. Aaron took off his jacket and placed it on the back of the chair. he rolled up his sleeves ready to be Dave's sous chef again.
Jack ran in beaming and gave Dave a small box. Dave smiled back ruffling Jack's hair while Aaron looked at the box curious of its contents. He took the box off him and placed it on the counter.
Seeing Aaron's face he opened it to reveal a ring. It was a simple gold band but he got the message loud and clear,
"So will you marry me?" Dave asked placing his hand over Aaron's.
"Yes," he smiled back at her. "Yes, I'll marry you."
He smiled back slipping the ring on his finger and kissed him on the lips. Aaron joined in then they parted lips conscious that Jack was watching.
"Can I have a sibling now?" Jack asked. He then looked confused and down at his shoes.
"What is it, buddy?" Aaron asked.
"How would you have a baby? Don't you need a mummy?"
Aaron sat on the chair and placed Jack on his lap. Jack hid his head in Aaron's chest while Aaron played with his hair.
"Jack, Dave and I can have a baby by having a mummy carry the baby then give it to us," he said,
"But what if she wants the baby," he answered concerned.
"That's why we get someone we know so she can see the baby."
"But you get to keep the baby?"
"Yes we do."
"That's really nice of her."
"It is," he answered stroking his hair.
"Who's going to carry my baby sibling?"
"Dave and I are going to discuss that. Do you want to go play with your action figures?"
He nodded and ran up to his bedroom while Dave sat beside Aaron. He wrapped his arm around him while Aaron snuggled into him.
"So who are we going to ask to be our surrogate?" Aaron asked.
"Would Jessica be up for it?" Dave answered gently.
"I think she might. I'll ask her next time I see her."
"Good idea. Better face to face."
He smiled back at him. "I really want a kid with you, Dave."
"So do I."
"You're a great father to Jack."
"So are you, darling," he answered stroking a hair off his forehead.
"I love you."
"I love you, too."
Dave placed his hand on the back of Aaron's neck and kissed hi softly on the lips. Aaron soon joined in and they felt their tongues connect.
