"Time for bed."

"Aw, but dad!"

"Aw, but nothing." Scott smiled softly. "We let you stay up far past your bedtime."

"And we only did that cause ya ain't got school tomorrow." Jeff smiled. "C'mere."

The little boy smiled as he jumped up and ran to his father. He then squealed when Jeff picked him and blew raspberries on his stomach. "Daddy!!!"

"Nero!" Jeff laughed.

Scott smiled as he watched the interaction between his lover and their son.

"Dad, can daddy braid my hair like yours tomorrow?" Nero grinned.

"We'll see." Scott smiled. "Right now, your daddy and I are going to tuck you in."

"Yay!"

Jeff smiled and kissed his son's cheek. "C'mon."

Scott followed Jeff down the hall and felt his heart melt when Nero rested his head on Jeff's shoulder.

For years, Jeff asked and begged him for a child but Scott insisted that they wait until the right time. That right time never seemed to come around until six years ago. One night as they lay in bed after making love, Scott told Jeff the time had come. They spent months looking for the perfect surrogate mother. Once they found her, they debated on who would be the biological father. In his heart, Scott knew that Jeff was the obvious choice, he would never agree.

*~*

"No."

"Why not?"

"Cause." Jeff replied quietly.

"Because what?" Scott whispered as he walked towards his lover.

"I'm screwed up and shit."

"You are not." Scott said softly. "And even if you were, I'm screwed up too."

"Ya ain't screwed up, Scotty." Jeff smiled softly. "You're perfect."

"You really think so?"

"Uh huh."

"I love you, Jeff." Scott whispered. "And I want you to father our baby. Every time I look at him or her, I want to see your reflection."

Jeff blushed and smiled. "I love ya too and I wanna be the daddy."

"Really?"

Jeff nodded eagerly.

Scott smiled broadly and pulled Jeff into a tight embrace. "It's gonna be great, monk. Besides, just think of how much fun we can have when it's time to collect your little guys."

"You're a bad boy!" Jeff giggled. "'Sides, they ain't gonna let you in the room with me."

"We'll see about that." Scott winked. "Let's go to bed, monkey boy."

"K." Jeff grinned then squealed when he was tackled onto the bed. "Gonna make love to me?"

"All night." Scott breathed and leaned down to kiss him deeply.

*~*

"He went out like a light." Jeff whispered with a smile as they exited Nero's room.

"I know." Scott smiled. "Poor thing was exhausted."

"Scotty?"

"Yeah monk?"

"Thanks."

"For what?" Scott asked, confused.

"For letting us having a baby."

Scott sighed as he pulled Jeff into their bedroom. "You don't have to thank me for that, Jeff." He whispered. "Nero is one of the best things that's ever happened to me and you're one of the others. I'm just sorry it took me so long to give you the child you so desperately wanted."

"It ain't nothin' but water under the bridge, Scotty." Jeff replied. "We're happy, fuck everything else."

Scott laughed. "You always did have a different outlook on life. I guess that's why I love you so much."

"Whaddaya mean, ya guess?" Jeff smirked.

"Okay, sorry. I know. Is that better?"

"I dunno..."

"Oh, you don't?"

Jeff shook his head and sauntered over to the bed. He purred softly as he seductively slid back on the bed. "I think ya need to show me how much ya love me."

"I think so too." Scott growled and climbed on the bed. He immediately attacked Jeff's mouth with his own. His tongue invaded Jeff's mouth as his hands eagerly tore away his lover's clothing.

Jeff mewled softly as he tried to mimic Scott's actions. Soon they were both naked and Jeff had his fingers wrapped firmly around Scott's erection.

"Fuck." Scott hissed softly.

"Shh...kiddie's sleepin'." Jeff whispered and kissed his Adam's apple.

"I know." Scott whispered hoarsely and squirmed. "Jeff, do...something..."

"Can't." Jeff grinned. "Ain't got no lube."

"Well, for Christ's sake, get some."

"Ya gotta get your body off me first."

"Let go of my cock, then."

"Don't wanna."

"Jeffrey." Scott warned.

Jeff pouted and reluctantly let go, allowing Scott to pull away and search for the lube.

"Found it." Scott smiled as he climbed back into bed. "No." He chided softly when Jeff tried to reach for it. "You played enough. It's my turn now."

Jeff watched as Scott flipped the cap open and poured some in his hand. He then moaned when he felt Scott's slick fingers pressing against his entrance. "Please Scotty..."

"Please what?" Scott whispered and slowly slipped a finger in Jeff. "That? Is that what you want?"

Jeff nodded eagerly. "M...mo...more."

Scott chuckled softly as he worked in a second finger then brushed some damp strands of hair from Jeff's face with his free hand.

Jeff squeezed his eyes shut and bit down hard on his bottom lip to avoid crying out when Scott's fingertip brushed against his prostrate.

Scott smiled as he finished preparing his young lover. He then ran his slick hand up and down his own cock before pressing the head against Jeff's puckered hole.

"Scotty..." Jeff moaned softly.

"Shh...relax." Scott whispered.

Jeff did so and soon Scott was buried deep inside him. Jeff eagerly wrapped his legs around Scott's waist, urging him to go deeper.

Scott obliged which caused Jeff to hiss and moan.

The two soon fell into their familiar yet always passionate rhythm as Scott jerked off Jeff in time with his thrusts. Every part of their bodies, including their souls, was connected in some form as they came at the exact same second.

They kissed for several minutes afterwards before Scott pulled away slowly. "I love you." He whispered.

"I love you, too." Jeff whispered with a tired smile. "Wanna shower?"

"Tomorrow morning." Scott smiled softly. "Right now, it's bedtime."
