Daniel had spent weeks on building and decorating the platform on the roof. And now it was finally done. He went in the house to find Joey in the couch watching YouTube on his laptop.

"Time to go outside!" Daniel said energetically.
Joey slowly looked over at Daniel: "I don't feel like going out".
Joey had tried to cope with the unexpected news by just acting like he never heard them.
"Joey, I'm done with the roof platform!"

Joey then got a big smile on this face, jump of the couch and over to Daniel. He was very excited to see the platform, because he knew Daniel had spent most of his time on it recently. He nearly passed Daniel, when he felt his left arm getting grabbed.

"Ohh no sweety it has to be a surprise", Daniel said and placed his hands over Joey's eyes.
Joey giggled, "okay".

Daniel then brought Joey out into the garden, with Wolf at Storm at their heels. He placed him right in front of the ladder, which led to the planform, and removed his hands.

"So cool", Joey said as he started to climb the ladder.

Both Wolf and Storm where eager to try to climb the ladder as well, and Daniel immediately tried to calm them and instructed them to lay down some meters away.
Joey looked down at his boyfriend and his dogs, and then wasn't focused on his steps and slipped on the ladder. He landed on his bag in the green grass.

"OMG Joey! Are you okay?!" Daniel yelled, as he went over to hold one hand under his head and the other on his chest.
Joey grinned. "Yes silly, it was only two steps down, why so uneasy?" he said as he sat up.
"You know why", Daniel said with a worrying voice, "you have to be more careful now for both of you".
Joey quickly stood up by himself without any help from Daniel. "I can take care of myself. I don't need you to pity me!" Joey snapped.
"I would never pity you", Daniel said, "but I will always support you".

Joey then stood and breathed deeply a couple of times, before he, with tears in his eyes, gave Daniel a long hug.
They both looked at each other, and Daniel dried the newly formed tears of Joey's face.

"We can go up there another time", Daniel suggested.
"Are you kidding me?" Joey said. "I have seen you work at this for so long, and I am so proud of you for doing this for us, for me".
"Alight, let's do this", Daniel said with a smile on his face.

Joey then again grabbed the ladder, but quickly felt Daniel's hands on his hips. "Daniel…"
Daniel let go of Joey. "Sorry", he said, stepped back and smiled at Joey.

Joey went all the way up the ladder, and the sight that met him took his breath away. Daniel then came from behind, wrapped his arms around Joey's well-formed torso, kissed him gently on his neck and placed his head on his shoulder.

"What do you think?" Daniel whispered in Joey's ear and gave him a little squeeze.
"It is much more beautiful that I had ever imagined" Joey said and turned towards Daniel, "you are the best boyfriend in the entire world". Joey then leaned in towards Daniel till their forehead met.
"I know", Daniel grinned as he leaned in and touch Joey's soft lips with his own.

Daniel had packed the platform with pillows and blankets. There were also a big selection of fruits such as pineapple, grapes and cherry, so they didn't had to leave the spot for a long time.
After talking, laughing and enjoying of the view of LA for hours, Daniel and Joey was lying down and looked up in the sky.

"We are doing this together", Daniel said.
"I know, I know...", Joey said with doubt and concern in this voice.

Joey laid his hands crossed on this stomach and sighed. He then felt his stomach. It felt different, harder than normal. The pulled up his t-shirt and looked at it and felt it again. It looked the same but definitely felt harder.

"What is it", Daniel asked and looked over at Joey.
"My stomach feels different, harder I think", Joey said. "I just noticed."
"Really?" Daniel said a little astonished. "Can I feel?"
"Of course you can", Joey said and removed his hands to make room for Daniel's.

Daniel looked at Joey stomach but didn't know what to do or how to react. He had never been in such a strange situation before and was afraid to make a move.
Joey looked at Daniel and could sense how nervous he was. He then grabbed Daniel by his wrist and led his hand to rest on his stomach and placed both his own hands on top of Daniel's.

Daniel felt it. First he held his hand completely still, his whole body froze, and he stopped breathing for a couple of seconds. "OMG Joey…", he exclaimed and got the biggest smile on his face. He then stroke Joey's stomach and looked Joey in his green-blue eyes. "It is amazing what you are doing. I love you. Both of you", he said and took a quick peek down at Joey's stomach before he moved the hand from the stomach and around to the lower back, pulled Joey's body firmly in to his own before again focusing on Joey's eyes, which closed the same time as his own as he sincerely gave his handsome boyfriend a passionate cherry-tasting kiss.
