Summary: After finding an abandoned baby near their home, John and Odafin take it in as their own. But after being outed at their precinct, can they handle the pressures of being gay fathers in a small minded world?
Fin took the baby home and placed her in her crib. "Goodnight, Robin." He walked away and crawled into bed. It felt strange sleeping alone, he wished John was here with him.
Instead, he took John's pillow and inhaled deeply. He smelled his partner's cologne and aftershave and was able to relax enough to fall asleep.
Fin went to go see John in the hospital the next day, the captain had given him the day off. When he walked in, John's eyes fluttered open. "Oda…" he whispered.
"How are you feeling?" Fin sat beside him and took his hand.
"Painful sometimes, but I'm glad you two are safe…" He squeezed the hand. He smiled. "Can I hold Robin?"
"Alright, but be careful not to hurt yourself." He handed Robin off, who touched his face and babbled again. John smiled. "Hello, little girl…I missed you…"
Fin reached up and brushed a tear from his eye. John noticed. "Don't cry, Oda."
"I could've lost you, John. I can't help it."
John took his hand and his thumb rubbed the thick gold band. "I'll make sure we won't be separated again."
Fin smiled and leaned in to kiss him, then kissed Robin's head. John was right. They'd pull through. Together.
ONE WEEK LATER,
John had just gotten released from the hospital, and Fin was helping him into bed. After saying goodnight to Robin, they were very tired. "I'm glad you're back, it sucked sleeping alone."
John took Fin into his arms and let him rest his head on the better part of his chest. Fin kissed his chest. "I love you, John."
John responded by kissing his chest and starting to sing:
"Ich gedenk ven ich bin noch a kind geven,
Flegt mine mamenue zingen tzu mir:
Bist a malach bist vi alle velten sheyn
Ch'vel a shterndl brengen tzu dir,
Es klingt mir noch yetst in di ohyren
Di sheyne melodie…
Ch'awb shoyn mine yugent farloren
Noch zing ich ihr lidele mir tzi
Zing faygele zing…
Machst mine gemit gring,
Derfrisht mine zikawren
Fun di kinder yoren
Zing faygele zing."
"I love you, Oda…" He whispered before drifting into sleep, his lover in his arms.
The End-
