Oisin and Brendan had been growing even closer lately but so were Brendan and Ste, Brendan has been wanting to ask Ste to move in with him for a while now and since Amy will be taking the kids back in a couple of weeks he felt like now was the time to do it.

Ste looked up from the magazine he was reading when he heard the bell over the deli door ring, he was greeted by a nervous looking Brendan. Brendan gave Ste a small smile as he walked over to the counter to kiss his boyfriend, "Bren, why do you have that look on your face?" Ste asked after breaking their kiss "What face" Brendan countered "That face" Ste responded with a sigh "Well I was wondering.. you know only if you want to... and since your place is such a dump we could maybe a buy a house or something... but only if you want to" Brendan rushed out

"Did you just call my flat a dump?"

"Stephen, c'mon what do you think?"

"Ofcourse you big lug" Ste grinned and then kissed Brendan hard on the mouth "Well I already found a place and its not far from here, I already saw it and there's a another viewing in like a half an hour, we can make it if we leave now"

"But what about the kids" Ste mumbled against Brendan's neck "Oisin brought them to the park, wont be back for ages and Cheryl is in the flat if they're home before us" Ste just grinned at him again and took off his apron, Brendan started walking towards door waiting for Ste to catch up.

Brendan and Ste were greeted by a middle aged, plumped woman with a huge smile painted across her face "Hello you must be Mr Brady, I'm Dina Walters your estate agent"

"Yeah call me Brendan and this is Stephen" Brendan said as he shook her hand "You can just call me Ste" Ste said as he smiled softly at the woman before him

Ste looked around the spacious house with eyes full of wonder and delight as Brendan was signing the paper-work for their new home, finally a home that was theirs, they could now be a proper family together.

"Bren, when can we move in?" Ste asked wishfully as they drove back to Brendan's flat "Three weeks and then its all ours, we'll have to some shopping" "Shopping! I hadn't even thought about that" Ste exclaimed "It'll be fine Stephen, we have loads of time" Brendan said with a sigh and a tiny smile
The kids were ecstatic when they found out and even Cheryl was happy for them even if she was a little upset that she'll be living alone now that Brendan and Oisin would be moving out. Lucas was quite annoyed though when he found out he wouldn't be sharing a room with Oisin but was soon won round when Brendan told him he could decorate his own bedroom whatever way he wanted and ofcourse Leah fell in-love with the idea of having herself a room fit for the princess she is.

Brendan and Oisin were currently painting Leah's bedroom a pale pink colour while Ste and Cheryl were shopping at Ikea, "Dad, are you sure its a good idea letting Ste and auntie Cheryl go shopping on their own" Oisin said with a huge grin "We can just return everything that's too over the top" Brendan said matching his son's grin "Well they're not going anywhere near my room!" Brendan laughed in agreement at that.

The family were spending their frist night together in their new home and Lucas couldn't be more excited, "Daddy Brendan, this means me and Oisin are real brothers now, right?" Lucas asked hopefully while sitting in his new room with Oisin and Brendan "Monkey! ofcourse we're real brothers, right da?" Oisin prompted while making a silly face causing Lucas to giggle "Yeah boys, real brothers" Brendan said with a content smile as he watched Oisin tackle Lucas onto his bed and tickle the smaller boy.

Brendan loved both Oisin and Lucas just as much a his boys but seeing them together really did my him miss his sons and he was hoping that he could spend more time with them now since he was a completely different person to the man he used to be.

Brendan and Ste were cuddled up together on the sofa with Leah and Lucas lying on their fronts at their feet and Oisin was sprawled on the armchair, they were watching Tangled for the third time since it was Leah's new favourite and she had Brendan wrapped around her little finger, willing to do anything his little step-daughter asked of him with the flutter of her eyes and her bottom lip stuck out in a puppy dog fashion.

Leah and Lucas were both tucked up in bed, while Oisin was in his own room Brendan and Ste were still downstairs with Brendan on the phone to his exwife Eileen. "So are you saying the boys are coming to stay?" Brendan asked hopefully "Well Paddy wants to go and Declan wont let him go over to yours by himself so they'll be coming over for the summer" Eileen said dryly Brendan face broke into a huge grin "Thanks Eileen, it means alot to me"

"I'm not doing it for you I'm doing it for Paddy"

It was May and the kids were leaving this week and it was really getting to everyone "It's going to be too quiet around here" Brendan said to Ste as they were sitting in their bed after putting the kids to bed a couple of hours ago

"Yeah but in a month Declan and Padraig will be here"

"Stephen do you ever think about having more kids"

"I've never really thought about it before, have you?"

"Not until recently, just with the kids going to be gone and all I was just thinking about us having some of are own like Oisin you know we'll always have them and wouldn't have to share them back and forth"

"It would be nice"

"Yeah a wee baby Brady-Hay, what do you say?"

"Serious you want to?"

"I wouldn't bring it up if I wasn't serious Stephen"

"Yeah" kiss " Ofcourse" kiss "I want to" kiss "We're going to have a little baby" kiss.

Thanks for the amazing reviews they do really make my day so please keep them coming :D Oh and I kinda figured Amy and Ste could do the whole I get six months you get six months thing and the next chapter will be Amy coming back (She doesn't know about Brendan but does know that Doug is gone) and the boys will be trying to find a surrogate :)
