There may or may not be a follow up to this. I guess it'll depend on whether or not I feel like writing it. I don't think it's necessary to put in here (considering the ship) but there is a mention of sex in here. Also I know absolutely nothing about court cases or adoption processes so please forgive any mistake I may have made in this.

Bring Him Home, Part 2

Hux had no idea that going to court to try and get their application approved would be hard to keep secret from Kylo. The lawyer never anticipated that his case would attract media attention of all sorts on all kinds of levels. Newspapers to news channels, both local and national, wanted a scoop of the lawsuit filed against an adoption agency and the man responsible for it. Fearful that Kylo would fnd out about what he was doing, Hux denied all requests for interviews and requested that his name and any image of him would not be released to the public. Thankfully, all the outlets complied and Hux remained anonymous and his secret mission remained secret from Kylo.

Hux hadn't told Kylo what he was doing because he didn't want to see him suffer more if the case ruled in favor of the agency. After the rejection, Kylo's depression had reemerged gradually and Hux didn't want to make it worse with a permanent rejection. With the illness back, Hux knew that Kylo would need him much more, even if the man wouldn't easily admit it, but going to the hearings meant Hux wasn't home as often as he should've been and he noticed the effect it had on Kylo. Chores weren't being done, he cooked less and less, his smile seemed more forced and he would hold Hux a little tighter when they cuddled.

Even though he knew the odds were in his favor, Hux still had an undermining fear that the court would not get the application through, even though the reason for rejection in the letter had been completely invalid. When applying to work at the hospital, Kylo had an intensive background check before he was employed and his medical history was one of the areas they checked. The hospital wouldn't have hired him in a thousand years if his alcohol addiction posed a potential problem, rendering the rejection invalid. Regardless of this fact, he was still scared.

Because of dates and other conflicting factors, it took two months for a verdict to be reached. The instant it was made and the court was adjourned, Hux headed to his car, dashing past the throng of the reporters shouting questions at him. As always, he respectfully declined. Once safe in his car, he pulled out his phone.

On my way home. I'll get some chocolate cake along the way.

Only a few seconds later, his phone chimed with Kylo's answer.

I made some mac and cheese I'll save some for you if you like.

Please, I'm starving

After turning it on silent, Hux threw his phone onto the backseat and headed out onto the road, quickly dropping by the store to get said cake. Even with the detour, he made it back to the apartment in record time.

He found Kylo seated at the dinner table, dressed in his PJ pants and his university hoodie, poking at the cheesy macaroni in the bowl. Hux came over to him and kissed his cheek before heading into the kitchen to put away the cake and get a bowl for himself.

"How was the hearing?" He asked.

"It was great and, thankfully, it's all over now." He returned to the table and sat down, taking a huge bite of his dinner. He spotted a tiny smile on the other's face.

"So I'll finally get to see you at home?"

"Yes you do. Which also means," He reached into his blazer and pulled out a large white envelope, "I can finally give you this." Confused, Kylo took it.

"You're a little early for my birthday." He joked, carefully opening it. He pulled out a blue card decorated with a stork and large glitter letters reading 'it's a boy'.

"Open it." As instructed, the man opened the card, finding a sheet of folded paper inside. Attached at the top of the paper was a small picture of the now eight month old child they had wanted to bring home since he was a week old and in bold beside it, it said "Application for Adoption". Kylo felt his breath hitch when he spotted the word "approved" at the bottom.

"Wh- what?" Hux couldn't hide his smile anymore at the sight of Kylo's surprised and overjoyed face.

"I took it to court and the judge decided that the agency's reasons were invalid. He reviewed all the documents of our application and had it approved." There was a brief pause before Kylo nearly jumped from his chair and threw his arms around the shorter man, giving him a firm kiss.

"You sneaky bastard." He whispered against his lips. He spotted his devious smirk and they kissed again, much more passionate than the one before. He yanked at Hux' tie, pulling it loose and letting it drop to the floor, undoing the top buttons of his shirt. "You are getting the best lay you've ever gotten in your entire damn life." He whispered as his lips grazed against Hux's neck, biting into his skin.

"You don't want any cake?" Hux teased, his breathing increasing and his pants getting tighter when Kylo took off his hoodie, revealing he hadn't been wearing a shirt underneath. Their lips met again, Hux dashing his tongue inside his partner's mouth.

"There's something else I'd rather eat right now." Kylo lifted the man up, wrapping his legs around his waist while never breaking the kiss. It broke when he dropped him onto the couch but contact was quickly restored, his warm lips soon moving down to Hux's neck and newly exposed chest.

"I can live with that."
