This is the final part and by far, the cutest. Who knew that my major would actually come in handy in my writing one day? It wasn't a big contribution but still. Also, writing nervous Hux was fun. I don't know why though…

Bring Him Home, Part 3

"Is the camera really necessary?" Kylo inquired as they sat in the parking lot of the orphanage, the redhead pulling out a video camera from its bag. He flipped it open and pointed it to Kylo, not recording just yet.

"Trust me, you'll thank me for this one day." Kylo reached forward and pushed the camera away in annoyance but did nothing when Hux redirected it back to him.

"I doubt that." He reached to the back row, grabbing the small plastic bag lying next to the car seat they had bought for their boy and inspected the content before looking out the window towards the building. "You at all ready for this?"

"Probably as ready as you are." Hux replied, lowering the camera and following his partner's gaze to the building.

"So not at all." Hux lets out a tiny chuckle.

"Says the one who works with children." Both men laughed from the comment but the air of uncertainty and nervousness quickly refilled the space. This was the day they had been waiting for and now that it was here, they were acting like toddlers going to school for the very first time. Slowly, Hux reached out and took Kylo's hand, silently conveying words of support and comfort. "Let's go." Kylo stared at their hands for a while before he took a breath for courage and nodded.

"Let's go." Another minute passed before one of them moved, the motions prompting the other to begin moving as well. In his hidden state of nervousness, Kylo grabbed Hux's hand. Hux gave it a reassuring squeeze.

Once inside the building, they are led into the office of the woman in charge of the orphanage. In there, the stern but kind woman went over some last minute details. One of them was that the child, having been in the care of the orphanage for so long, would need a few days to adjust to the men and their home.

"Besides that," The woman continued after the men had acknowledged this fact, "Everything is in order. You ready to meet your son?" Both men nodded, Hux quickly grabbing his camera while the woman pushed a button on the phone and asked someone on the other end to come in. Hux stood up and pressed the record button in time to capture the caretaker walking in with the child.

For a moment, time paused for Hux and he hoped to God that him pressing the record button hadn't been some illusion of his own creation. He glanced down quickly to check, relieved to see the red dot, and hastily returned his attention to his boyfriend who had gone over to the caretaker.

"Hi." Kylo said softly, gently taking the child from the woman and holding him close, the boy, looking curiously from Kylo to the caretaker and back, making a jumbled sound that appeared to be a question.

"That's your new daddy." The caretaker cooed, pointing towards Kylo. The boy looked back at the man, who let out a tiny laugh at the adorable sight of his little face.

"I got something for you." Clumsily, Kylo removed the item from the plastic bag: a stuffed elephant toy. He handed it to the boy, who took it and looked at it curiously, his hands grabbing random parts of the toy. "That's an elephant."

"Ejefun." The boy repeated, making both men chuckle.

"Elephant." Hux said, having moved closer to his partner and the boy. The child turned his head and looked at the camera, reaching to the tiny machine with a cheeky smile on his face.

"Is he always this curious?" Hux inquired when he continued to reach for the device. The caretaker nodded and the man chuckled, returning his gaze to Kylo. Even though it was to see for most, he could see that Kylo was overjoyed that their son was final here. The most obvious indicator was his smile but everything about him, from his posture to his brow, was completely relaxed.

"Give me the camera." Without waiting for approval, Kylo took the device, laughing when the child tried to grab it once more, "That's not for you" Holding it at a reasonable distance, he turned it towards Hux, "Your turn to hold him."

"I think I'm fine taking care of the camera." Hux assured, trying to take it back. It wasn't that he didn't want to hold his son; he had wanted to do that just as much as Kylo but the man had absolutely no experience with children and was scared of doing something wrong. Kylo took a step closer and gave an assuring smile.

"Hux, stop being so damn stubborn and take him." He said sternly, "He's your son too and don't let me have all the camera glory." With an ounce of hesitance, Hux went to hi and ever so gently and carefully took his son and held him on his hip, his mind racing with worries.

"Hello." He stuttered when he had what he hoped was a good hold on the child. The toddler stared up at him with big blue eyes, putting a finger in his mouth and smiling. He heard Kylo laugh in the background but the redhead doesn't glare at him as his eyes are fixated on the little human.

"Jejow."

"W-What did he say?"

"Hello." The caretaker explained. Hux felt a sting of embarrassment from his silly question but it's quickly gone when the toddler leaned his head against his shoulder. "Would you look at that? Anakin normally doesn't warm up to strangers that quickly." The woman commented.

"He must know we're his family. How did you ever come up with the name 'Anakin'?"

"One of the caretakers was absolutely obsessed with Star Wars at the time and Darth Vader was their favorite character. The rest is pretty self-explanatory." Laughter filled the room but everyone's attention turned when Anakin yawned and closed his eyes. It made Kylo chuckle a little when he noticed Hux's nervous look; poor man looked as if someone told him the world was ending.

"I think it's time we took this little guy home." Kylo suggested, stopping the recording and coming over to his partner, finding that Anakin had already fallen asleep.

"That sounds like a good idea."

They collected some possessions of Anakin (clothing and a few toys) and after double checking that everything was in order, the two headed back to the car.

"You need a hand putting him in?" Kylo inquired. Normally, Hux would say no but his uncertainty won out; he didn't want to wake him up.

"Yeah." Once the bag was put away, Kylo came around and took Anakin gently from Hux, the redhead in awe at how the man managed to handle the child without waking him or even making him stir. While he buckled him in, Hux set himself down in the driver's seat and waited patiently for Kylo.

"We did it." Kylo triumphantly announced as he plunked himself in the passenger seat.

"We did it." Nothing transpired between the two for a moment but Kylo soon wrapped an arm around Hux and pulled the man closer to kiss him. Hux smirked and gladly returned the kiss, his subconscious hoping Anakin was still asleep and that Kylo remembered the child was there; they had done some things in that car that no toddler should see.

"Thank you."

"For what?" Hux teased, chuckling when Kylo rolled his eyes.

"What do you think, idiot?" The man chuckled more and kissed him again.

"You're welcome." Their make out session last several more minutes, Kylo consistently trying to make it more intimate, only to be reminded by his partner that there was a child on the backseat. Eventually, the kisses stopped, Hux slightly flustered and certain that his lips were swollen when he turned on the car. This was a new chapter for both of them and Hux was excited for it. Of course it would come with challenges, most it likely going to be Kylo driving him insane (as he normally did), but he was confident they could do it. Besides, they had been through harder challenges. How much harder could raising a child be?

Oh dear lord, you're in for it Hux.
