John had always been able to sense when Randy was nervous.
Sitting in the Italian restaurant, John held Randy's hand. Each time he felt Randy tense up, he squeezed his hand reassuringly.
"Trish, this is such a difficult question for us to ask," Randy said. John gripped his hand harder. The woman turned and gazed towards Randy, staring intently.
"What can I do for you?" the woman asked. Randy coughed. He had never known mere speaking could be so difficult.
"John and I want to have a baby," Randy closed his eyes, trying to remember the planned speech. John hid a smirk.
Randy was so cute when he was nervous.
"Yes..." Trish was intrigued.
"Would you be our surrogate mother?" Randy blurted out. He turned bright red. He had blown it. She would never agree now.
"I'll talk to Chris," she said, diverting her gaze from the couple to the busy streets outside the restaurant.
They left the restaurant in seperate taxis. John and Randy got to their high rise apartment in silence. It was obvious Randy was kicking himself for catching Trish off guard.
John hated seeing Randy upset. The young couple were so in love that when one was upset, the other one felt it. Empathy, John and Randy both loved and hated it.
"I screwed up!" Randy exclaimed, walking into the apartment. John slipped his arms around his husband's waist. He set his chin on Randy's shoulder.
"You did not," he whisperd, nuzzling Randy's neck. Randy sighed, turning around. He draped his arms over John's shoulders.
"I did too," he said, setting his head on John's chest. John gently kissed his hairline. Randy shivered. John manuevered him onto the couch. A black blanket was folded on the couch.
The phone began to ring. Covering Randy, who was sound asleep, John moved to answer it.
"Hello?" he murmured.
"It's Trish,"
"Oh, hey,"
"I made my decision,"
"Already?"
"Yep, it was pretty easy. All things considering."
"Well?" John had to know. Would she allow them to become parents?
"I'll do it,"
I'll do it, three simple words that changed lives. Life as they knew it would be forever changed.
John blinked back tears. Since getting married a year-and-a-half earlier, they had often discussed children.
Their dreams were coming true.
Shaking violently, John turned towards the couch. Randy snored softly, unaware of what had just transpired in their lives.
"Randy," he called softly. His lover stirred but did not awaken."Randy," His voice was slightly louder. Randy, in a dazed stupor, sat up. He grunted in John's general direction. "Trish called,"
"What?" Randy was wide-awake now.
"We're going to be dads if she can concieve," John said. Randy bounded over the couch in a single leap, catching John off-guard.
"She agreed?" he asked. John shook his head. Smirking devilishly, he decided to mess with his husband's head.
"No, I thought I'd get pregnant." John babbled.
For once, Randy was stunned into silence.
