What We Will Do(Story Post)Dax found Nathan back in their room with the lights off, just nursing his twins. Dax wasn’t even sure he was awake until he sat down beside him.“Dax…” Nathan whispered. “I’m sorry I reacted that way.”“It’s alright,” Dax said, leaning back against the headboard. “You were overwhelmed. We were both overwhelmed.”“I know, but I feel like you think I’m not supportive of you…” Nathan said.“No, I know…” Dax sighed. “But listen, my night with Kent was unexpected, so I’m considering ending—”“No, Dax. I don’t want that,” Nathan said quickly, looking at his partner sincerely. “I mean, if you want to go through with this, then we’ll go through with it together.”Dax paused for a moment. “To be clear, when you say ‘go through with this’, you mean…”“I mean, have both our children,” Nathan elaborated. “I know you’re excited to have a baby…”“Right, but I’d still be having one with you even if I did abort…” Dax reminded.Nathan shook his head. “Yes, but you want to carry a baby. I can tell the idea of experiencing that is very special to you and you might never get another chance. Don’t let my uneasiness make that decision for you. I want you to be happy.”Dax smiled and set his head back on the pillow. “I’ll admit, the idea of it all is so…it’s so thrilling. I am scared too, but it feels magical.”Nathan sighed, smiling. “Yeah. Say that again when you’re nearly due.”Dax chuckled. “…So you’re going to be okay?”“Yeah…” Nathan rubbed the twins back. “I’m still… I still feel really stressed out. You know, four children so close together. It’s really a lot. And with both of us pregnant, we might have a hard time supporting each other… I never really planned to start a family this way.”“Of course,” Dax said. “I don’t think either of us could’ve imagined it.”“…Yeah, I figured I’d find someone I really liked, live with them a few years,” Nathan imagined. “Get married, adopt siblings I think… You know, the usual way for guys like us.”“Well, guys like that aren’t really like us, are they?” Dax said. “Maybe this is really the way for guys actually like us.”“Maybe so…” Nathan said.“And it’s not too late for some of that stuff to happen,” Dax said. “Just not in that order.”Nathan met Dax’s hand on Gabriel’s back and intertwined their fingers. “…You know, we have to talk to that guy.”Dax blinked. “Hm?”“Kent.”“Yeah… Well, after your doctor’s appointment about the IVF. Just to be sure.”“Yeah, I know.” Nathan sighed, starting frown. “What do you we want with Kent, though?”“In what way?”“Is it just, you know, sexual? Or do we want a romantic relationship?”Dax breathed out of his nose. “…I will go with what you want.”Nathan groaned. “Dax, come on… This is about both of us. All three of us.”“I’m serious,” Dax said. “I can go either way, but whatever you want with that, I want it to. If you want us to pursue a romantic relationship with Kent, and he does too, then I am with you. If not, then not.”“I mean, he’ll still be the father of several of our children,” Nathan said. “So, he has to be involved…”“Right but, that’s just co-parenting. If it doesn’t need to be romantic, it doesn’t need to be romantic. But if you want it, then we want it.”Nathan grimaced. “…Well, I don’t know.”“You don’t have to decide right now,” Dax said. “We can talk to Kent, and we’ll see how we feel. That isn’t a decision we need to make right now. Yeah?”“Yeah… Yeah, okay.”“Okay.”Dax let go of Nathan’s hand and propped himself up on his elbow. “Looks like the twins are out… Would you like me to put them to bed?”Nathan nodded. “Please… They’re getting so heavy, I can hardly breathe with them on my chest like this.”“Alright.” Dax smiled as his lifted each babe one at a time and placed them in their cribs. Gabriel fussed a little but was out cold again as soon as he was snug in his bed.Dax got back in bed and laid down on his back. Nathan snuggled up against his chest and placed a hand on his partner’s stomach. He slipped his hand up under Dax’s shirt and stroked his lower abdomen gently.“…It’s actually already kinda noticeable, huh,” Nathan said. “Just a little tight.”“Yeah… When Reid showed me the ultrasound image, the baby already seemed very visible,” Dax said. “This drug really makes things go fast. Only twenty weeks of this.”“Mmhm… Jeffrey only gets ten weeks because of his fairy genetics, apparently…” Nathan recalled.“Must put a lot of stress on the body,” Dax imagined. “Poor thing.”“Well, he knew what he was getting into this time,” Nathan said.“This is true…” Dax sighed. “But I do hope everything goes well. I feel like it needs to go well for those two.”“Well, I’d say ‘it’ll all be fine’ if Dr Aias was still head of the medical team…”“I’m sure Reid can handle it,” Dax assured. “They wouldn’t leave him in charge if he couldn’t.”“They don’t have any other choice,” Nathan stated. “I can’t imagine there’s many more doctors that are even a quarter as skilled as Dr Aias…”“Well, Reid meets the requirements and that’s what we can put our faith in,” Dax reminded. “Are you really going to be upset with him forever?”“We’ll see…” Nathan huffed.“He’s our friend, Nathan,” Dax said. “You know he cares about you.”Nathan just closed his eyes. “Shh… I’m taking a nap.”Dax let out a sigh. “Alright… I suppose I could go for one too.”“Yeah, nap time for all.”“Should I set an alarm, or…?”“Babies. Babies are the alarm.”“Ah, right.” -- source link
