Summary: Rei and Takao have some alone time with the newest member of the family.
Takao sat in a rocking chair, staring at the empty cradle before him as the infant slept in his arms. It seemed like a miracle as he listened to the deep breathing of the fragile being sleeping so blissfully.
He felt a hand on his shoulder as Rei leaned forward and kissed the infant's bare head. "He's ours," he whispered and he couldn't help but beam in pride.
"Not really," Takao mussed as Rei came around and lifted him into his arms. He moved to sit down, cradling Takao in his lap.
"Sure he is."
"No, not really. He's not even related to us. Rei, I want a child of our own."
Rei looked deep into Takao's pleading eyes.
"I know it's selfish but I want our own child."
"No, it isn't," Rei held Takao tightly in his arms as the infant slept. "There is a way, I suppose, but I don't know who'd do it. It's illegal."
"That never stopped us before," Takao flashed a cocky grin up at Rei.
The infant blinked his eyes and began screaming loudly as Rei smiled down at him. He reached down and grabbed the bottle from the floor, a reach around Takao to offer it to their son. He was theirs, maybe not of them, but he was theirs.
Note: There is actually a way for two men to have a child, of their own genetics but a host mother gives birth to the child. It uses human cloning technology, which is illegal.
