Mickey had been trying for weeks to figure out a way to ask Ian about them having a kid. He didn't want to just come out and say it, he didn't want to just come out and say it but he didn't want to just fuck around and have some long as speech that took hours.
He also didn't want to freak Ian out by mentioning it. Fuck the situation freaked him out, but he didn't want it to freak Ian out as well.
It was a saturday when it happened.
Ian had offered to watch Caci for Mandy. Mickey was always happy have Caci over.
Caci had just recently learned how to sit up.
Ian was sitting down on the floor with her, playing with some toys.
She was giggling and Mickey thought it was fucking adorable. The smile on Ian's face made Mickey realize that he wanted to talk to Ian about them having a kid, fucking now.
"Aye, Gallagher. I wanna ask you something." Ian looked over at Mickey, who was sitting on the couch. But quickly looked back at Caci when she giggled.
"Ask." Mickey took a deep breath.
"Have you ever-I mean-do you, fuck, do you want to have a kid?" Ian dropped the toy he was playing with.
"Mick, we're gay. How you plan on us havin' a kid?" Mickey snorted and rolled his eyes.
"Just 'cuz we're fags doesn't mean we can't have a kid. There's ways Gallagher." Mickey didn't want to say it, but he had looked it up, there was this thing where they took your sperm and put it in a chick, no fucking involved, it was a possibility.
Ian didn't say anything.
"Do you want a kid?" Mickey had to know, he had to know if Ian wanted it just as much as he did.
"Fuck. I-yea. I want a kid. I've always wanted a kid. You really want one?"
"Fuck yea." Most people would say Mickey wasn't the type to have kids, they would say he would be a shitty parent. But so far he had been doing a pretty good job being uncle Mickey, and in a way he did raise Mandy; that was different but still he protected her and taught her shit.
Saying Ian was a bit surprised would be understatement. The kid was fucking shocked.
"Really? You really wanna do this?" Mickey nodded.
"Which one of us will-ya know? And who are we gonna get to have it?" Of course Ian would ask that question, but Mickey had an answer ready, he just didn't know if Ian would like it or if the other person would even fucking agree.
"I thought that I could ya know, be the dad and so that the kid is related to both of us, your sister could have it."
"Fi?" Mickey nodded.
"I know she doesn't like me, but it's the only option we go, and I want the kid to be related to us both. And I already talked to Mandy a while ago and she said that in a few years, if we want another one, she'll have it. Then you can be the daddy." Ian's grin was so wide that Mickey thought his face was gonna split.
"I'll talk to Fi about it right away." Mickey nodded and got down on the floor next to Ian and Caci.
He picked up a toy and it made noise and Caci giggled and Mickey's heart fluttered.
Mickey was tough guy, a cold hearted bastard, a dick, not many people liked him, he was dirt, but to Ian Gallagher he was everything. And with Ian Gallagher he felt like he was king of the fucking world. With Ian Gallagher, he felt like he could do anything. Underneath all the bullshit Mickey really was nice, Mickey really wasn't a heartless prick like everyone thought, he really did care. He just choose not to show it to many people, because showing shit like that could be seen as a weakness, and Mickey had learned long ago not to be weak.
Caci grabbed onto Mickey's hair and yanked. He wanted to yell fuck, 'cuz it did hurt. But since it was Caci, he didn't. He just smiled.
"Caci, it's not nice to pull uncle Mickey's hair." Mickey rolled his eyes at Ian.
"But you pull my hair all the time, uncle Ian." Mickey smirked at the red-head.
"And I like it when you do." No matter what Mickey would always be a sarcastic and would always tease Ian.
Ian laughed at him and began playing with Caci again.
Mickey couldn't wait to be sitting with Ian on the floor, just like they were, playing with their baby.
