*~Future~*
After dropping Sierra Rose off at her Aunt Gigi's, Kyle and Oliver went to have dinner at the Palace Hotel Restaurant. Over candlelight, they discussed their future. "Now that I've taken that initial step and moved in, what do you see for us three or four years down the road?" Kyle asked.
"Maybe two kids, two cars, and two cats," Oliver joked.
"Cats? I didn't know you liked cats," Kyle said with a smile. "If we're having another kid, we better start looking for a house. Our apartment is cramped as it is."
Oliver laughed. "Okay, we'll start looking for a house. Then we'll get the cats. We'll name them Bert and Ernie. I always loved Sesame Street when I was a kid."
"I did, too," Kyle responded with a grin. "Sierra likes watching it now. She's such a cutie."
"She is... and I don't want her to grow up all alone. I was an only child... and I hated it. I want her to have someone to play with- a little brother or sister to keep her company."
"How do you propose we get this little brother or sister for our daughter?"
"How about a surrogate mother?" Oliver suggested. "This time you can provide the sperm."
Kyle smiled. "Well, I do work at the hospital... so I have a few connections. We could probably get something worked out. I bet we could find someone who would be willing to help us out with our dream of having another child."
"Why don't we ask our waitress?" Oliver joked as the young woman who was waiting on them started walking toward their table.
Kyle nearly spit out his drink. "You must be feeling better, Oliver. It's great to see you smiling and joking around again."
"Yeah, that's all because of you. Having you in my life has been the most amazing thing that's ever happened to me. You and Sierra Rose."
"I feel exactly the same about you. Dropping by on you when you were in your underwear that day completely changed my life. I love you, Oliver Fish."
The waitress approached Kyle and Oliver's table and asked if there was anything else she could get them. With a mischievousness grin on his face, Oliver almost asked her if she'd be the mother of their future child. But considering he was shy, he chickened out. "Nope, we are fine. We have everything we need," he told the waitress. As the waitress walked away, Oliver gave Kyle a little wink.
