Paul shrieked as John let him fall out of his arms and onto the bed. The bed bounced with them comfortably and Paul giggled happily. John looked down at his lover with big, gleeful eyes, before crawling onto the bed and laying down next to Paul. Paul turned to lay on his side and traced his thin lip’s with his fingers. John kissed them and laid a hand on Paul’s hipbone, softly massaging him there.‘You’ll become a daddy.’ Paul spoke, after which he giggled as if he was a naughty schoolboy who had just said a bad word. John nodded and kissed the younger man’s nose.‘Yes, I will. And you’ll be a mum.’ He said. Paul’s eyes grew wide and sparkled with happiness as he let that idea sink in.‘I love you, Macca.’ John spoke, ‘You’ll be a great mum.’ He carefully rolled Paul onto his other side, so he was facing away and from him and curled up behind him, spooning him and holding his closely. One hand he moved to lay across Paul’s belly. Paul sighed as John nuzzled his nose in the back of his neck and kissed him there sweetly, almost soothingly. He closed his eyes and let himself relax in John’s safe arms.‘Thanks, John.’ He muttered softly. John could hear a slight tremble in Paul’s voice.‘Are you scared?’ he asked. Paul nodded softly. John held still a few seconds and Paul wasn’t sure if he was still breathing before he replied.‘I am, too.’ Paul felt a tear run down his cheek, which he thought was odd, because just a second ago he had been laughing and giggling and feeling all happy and fuzzy. John leaned over him with his face and kissed the tear away.‘Don’t cry,’ He spoke softly and sweetly, ‘You’ll be okay. We will be okay. All three of us.’ Paul began to fully cry as he heard John refer to them as “all three”. Because that was what they were now. A family.‘I love you, so, so much.’ Paul sobbed. John nodded and kissed his closed eyes.‘And I love you. So, so much. And the little one.’ He gave Paul’s tummy a tender squeeze. Paul smiled and turned his head to John. He reached up and pulled John’s mouth against his, in a long, needed, and loving kiss. They were a family now. Paul had never been happier in his whole life.
