Children
They woke up the next morning in the same position and smiled at each other. They couldn't believe they were finally a couple and had made out last night. They would face everything together. They would even face the FBI together. They knew they would face some opposition to their relationship especially as he was the boss and Spencer was his subordinate but they couldn't help they'd fallen for each other and love was the most important thing in this world. Love was what helped through the darkness of what they saw day in and day out.
"I could lie like this forever," Aaron smiled down at Spencer.
"Me too," Spencer smiled.
Suddenly they heard Maggie wake up crying for her daddy so he sighed getting up, "Alas fatherhood and my one year old daughter call." Spencer smiled back a little as he got out of bed and changed into a t-shirt and boxer shorts to greet his baby girl.
Aaron then left the bedroom closing the door promising his lover he'd be back soon. He stepped into the nursery and smiled as his daughter's tears turned into a smile as she saw her father come in. It made him smile daily that he could always make her smile.
He crouched down in front of her wiping away her tears then picked her up bouncing her gently up and down. "Hey, hey, what's wrong?" he asked as he gently rubbed her back. He then took one whiff off her bottom and took her over to the changing table adding, "I think someone needs a nappy change."
He placed her on the changing table and undid the nappy after taking off her pyjama bottoms. He threw it away and placed her onto a brand new one after wiping her bottom clean and talcing it. He then did up the new one and got her pyjama bottoms back on and also gave her a drink of the milk he'd already set aside for her.
"Wal, wal," she demanded.
He smiled and placed her down holding onto her hands as she took her own steps towards his bedroom. She'd begun to start walking only a few weeks ago and hated being carried now. She loved when her dad would take her hands and help her walk.
Spencer smiled as his goddaughter and now stepdaughter walked into their bedroom while Aaron held her hands smiling up at him. She beamed when she saw her godfather in her dad's bed and when they got to the bed she crawled over to him and gave him a huge hug exclaiming, "Spenner."
He smiled back and gave her a hug back answering, "Morning Maggie." She gave him a sloppy kiss on his cheek so he gave her a kiss back while her father climbed back into the bed beside them smiling at them both. He was so happy how close his lover was to his daughter and vice versa.
He hoped he grew up to be as intelligent as him. He smiled as he recalled Spencer already reading her text books even though she was far too young to understand what he was going on about. He couldn't wait to bring his children up with the man lying beside him on their bed.
They'd make sure Maggie never forgot Vicki like they'd make sure Jack would never forget Haley. They'd even take her to Vicki's grave when she was old enough to understand she'd been her mother. They already let her know she was her guardian angel and looked after her from above.
"Spencer," he said nervously.
"Yes darling," he answered looking up at him while Maggie played with the duvet.
"Can I speak to Jack alone first when we tell him about us? I've always taught him it's alright to love boys, girls or both and I will always accept him no matter what sexuality he turns out to be when he's older but I've never come out to him. I've never told him I love boys too and he's only ever seen me with women."
"Of course but I also need to talk to him alone. Is that alright?"
"Sure," he answered wondering what they had to talk about in private but if it was important he was sure he'd tell him eventually.
Later they were all in the living room when Aaron turned to his son who was watching the television with one hand in a bowl of chips and another holding a coke.
"Jack," he said nervously.
"Yes dad," he answered rolling his eyes annoyed.
"Can I talk to you in private?"
"What have I done now?" he exclaimed.
Aaron tried to keep his cool remembering how important what he had to tell him was but wondered where his sweet, little boy who always looked to him had gone. Since he'd turned thirteen it had been like he'd sprouted another head but he knew it was just the normal teenage hormones flying around the place. He had to have the patience of a saint now his son had become a teenager.
"Jack, can you please look at me?" he asked.
Jack rolled his eyes and looked at him. "What is it, dad? Can't you see I'm watching the TV?"
Spencer feeling the annoyance through his veins picked up the remote and switched off the TV while the teenage boy looked at him annoyed and shouted, "hey, I was watching that."
"Your father wants to talk to you. What he's got to tell you isn't easy for him," Spencer replied then nodded at his boyfriend walking out of the room with the TV remote.
Jack huffed crossing his arms exclaiming, "Well." He then looked up to see his dad looking incredibly nervous. His brow furrowed as he'd never seen his dad this nervous before. Aaron sat on the arm while Jack asked concerned, "What is it, dad?"
"What would you do if I had a boyfriend? What would you do if I fell in love with another man and wanted to be with him?" he asked looking straight ahead then back at his son. No matter how much of a pain in a butt his son had become he loved him more than anything and his opinion on his new relationship mattered incredibly to him.
"What are you trying to tell me, dad?"
"Jack, I'm bisexual," he answered nervously. "I fall for men and women."
"Why are you telling me this now? Do you have a boyfriend?"
Aaron looked down then back at his son and answered, "What if I did?"
"Then I'd be happy for you. You always taught me there was nothing wrong with being in a same sex relationship. Who is he? It's Spencer, isn't it?" When he saw his father blush he added, "I'm happy for you two. You belong together. It already feels like you're a couple."
"Thanks buddy," he answered hugging him close to him so happy he was happy for them and more than fine with having a gay dad. "I love you."
"I love you too, dad, even when I'm a pain in the butt."
"Hey, that's what being a teenager is all about," he smiled ruffling his hair.
Spencer then came in and Aaron nodded at him leaving the room to check on his baby daughter who was currently napping in the nursery. Spencer sat down beside him nervously.
"So your dad's told you about us?" he started.
He nodded and smiled, "I'm so happy for you both."
"Thanks," he blushed then looked serious. "Jack because your dad and I are together means that sometimes we will make love but I will never hurt him never. You and I both know he's been to hell and back more than once. It's just part of my way to show him how much I love him and the same. I'll never do what you and I know Daniel did to him."
"I know and tmi tmi," he smiled back at him.
"Tmi?" Spencer asked confused.
"Too much information. No thirteen year old wants to know about their parents having sex."
"They don't?" he answered confused.
Jack smiled at him shaking his head. "Seriously I'm happy that you make my dad happy but what planet do you come from?"
Aaron just walking in holding his baby who was currently babbling at him said, "Darling, you don't have to answer that and Jack stop being cheeky to my boyfriend."
"Sorry Spencer I meant no offence," Jack smiled at him.
"No offence taken," he answered still confused and handed Jack the remote while Aaron sat on the couch placing his daughter on his lap.
"Something baby friendly please buddy," Aaron said.
Jack rolled his eyes and flicked on the Disney channel.
