Our Life Together

*************************************Five Years Later*******************************************

"... has finished his final fan meet in Milan last night and announced he will be taking another 6 month break to spend quality time with his family. While fans are sad about their favourite actor will be absent from their screens for a while, they are all looking forward to seeing him with his family on social media." The news anchor finished speaking and Zee turned off the TV, grabbing his keys from the table in front of him. 

"Come on Princess, lets go get Daddy from the airport!" He called to the beautiful little girl who was currently playing with her own camera, taking photo's of Summer her Pomeranian puppy. "Coming Papa! she called, carefully placing Summer in her crate and locking the door. "We'll be home soon baby, be good now." she whispered before heading out.

Just looking at Millie filled Zee's heart with pride, she was the most important person in the universe to him and Saint. It was 4 years ago they adopted her and Zee could honestly say that it was the best day of his life. Back then she was an adorable chubby 3 year old with huge, deep brown eyes who stole their hearts the second they saw her in the children's home. All the other children were playing together but she was too busy toddling along after butterfly to care.

At first the plan was to just sponsor the whole orphanage but then Millie toddled up to them, babbling away to herself and Zee just knew she was meant to be their daughter. After a few months of paper work and getting to know Millie, Saint and Zee brought their daughter home and showed her off to the world; both men beaming with pride.

They called a press conference and made the announcement about the addition to their family and the fact that Zee would be leaving the acting business to pursue his dream of being a photographer while raising Millie. The out pouring of love and support was overwhelming and Zee's photography business sky rocketed. He was in constant demand to do portraits for the rich and famous and his work sold for thousands. He often brought Millie with him, when she wasn't with her grandparents or Daddy. That was probably where her love of photography came from, seeing her Papa taking photo's since she was tiny.

They drove to the airport, playing I-Spy and chatting about how much they'd both missed Saint in the few weeks he'd been away from home. Saint was buzzing with excitement, as much as he loved their nightly video calls, nothing compared to seeing his family in person. He couldn't wait to hold them in his arms. He all but ran as soon as the plane touched down he was so eager to see Zee and Millie.

The second Saint saw the two waiting for him in the VIP lounge he sprinted to them, scooping Millie up in his arms and littering kisses all over her cheeks. "Oh baby! You've gotten so big!" He said as tears threatened to fall. "Oh Daddy, you've only been gone for a week!" She said with a giggle. "You need to hug Papa now, he missed you so much too." She continued, wriggling free of her fathers embrace and dragging him over to Zee.

"Hey Zee," Saint said quietly "I missed you so much." He said pulling his husband in for a gentle kiss. "You can show me how much you missed later, once Millie is asleep." Zee whispered hotly in his ear making Saint shiver with desire. No matter how long they were together the spark between them never faded. "Do you want to be punished? Speaking like this in public?" Saint whispered back, tugging lightly on Zee's hair as he hugged his husband. Now it was Zee's turn to shiver, it took all his self control not to moan out loud in front of Millie. "Just you wait." Saint whispered before pulling away and grabbing Millie to join in on the hug.

The rest of the day was a blur of unpacking and chatting until it was finally time to sit down and have their evening meal as a family. Saint loved this time the most as it involved all his favourite things in the world, his husband, his daughter and of course his other love, food. He sat at the table and noticed just how much effort Zee had put in to their meal; the table had been set with the good china that they got as a wedding gift and Zee had arranged flowers and candles in the centre of the table.

Zee was nervous, he'd worked hard on tonight and was praying it would all go well. He shouldn't be too nervous though, he had Millie backing him up and Saint could never say no to their daughter. He brought out the food and placed it between them all before sitting down and tucking in. Through out the meal, Millie kept nudging Zee, urging him to bring up the subject they'd been discussing while Saint was away. It amazed Zee how he and his daughter could have a full conversation without speaking any words, he loved the bond they shared.

After trying and failing to force Zee to speak up for half an hour, Millie finally had enough and took matters into her own hands. "Daddy," She began putting on her best cute voice "I want a baby brother and Papa said I can." Zee's eyes were about to burst out if his head, this wasn't how he'd envisaged this conversation going and he was completely at a loss wondering how Saint would react, he had a million possibilities going through his mind from anger to disappointment. Of course Saint being Saint, he did none of those things and instead burst out laughing. 

Zee and Millie exchanged glances, both confused at Saint's reaction. "Why are you laughing Daddy?" Millie asked as Zee looked on dumbfounded. Saint wiped the tears that were threatening to fall from all the laughing and tried to compose himself. "I'm sorry Princess," It's just that I saw how much effort you and Papa had in to this meal and I wondered if you'd broken one of ornaments again or something but I wasn't expecting this!" Saint began explaining "You guys didn't have to go to all this trouble just to ask for that, I've been thinking the same thing for a while myself anyway..." 

Zee perked up at this "Why didn't you say anything?" He asked with a small pout towards his husband. "Hey, you didn't either!" Saint retorted. Millie giggled at her parents silly bickering. "What would you do without me then?" She said with a huge grin on her face. Both men looked towards their daughter and smiled "We'd be lost Millie." Zee answered truthfully. "Completely hopeless." Saint added in agreement. 

"It's ok, you can thank me by getting me a baby brother." She said smiling sweetly. "I've finished eating so is it ok if I go play for a while before I have my bath?" She asked, already walking away from the table. "Zee, if she's like this now, imagine what we'll be dealing with when she's a teenager. We're so done for." Saint said with a grin. "But we wouldn't have it any other way." Zee answered, getting up from the table. "Help me wash up and we can chat?" He said stacking the plates. Saint nodded and began helping with the task.

By the dishes were done they'd already agreed to pay a visit to the children's home that they still sponsored to look into the possibility of adopting again. Once they actually spoke to each other their was nothing they couldn't work out. Saint loved how strong their relationship still was, it was as easy as breathing, being with Zee. That didn't mean they didn't have to put effort into their relationship, it was more that their effort never felt like work. "You know sometimes I get scared that this is all a dream..." Saint admitted as he wrapped his arms around Zee's waist. "I can't believe how lucky I am to have all this." Zee turned in Saint's arms so he was facing him "It's not a dream my love, but we really did get so lucky." Zee said. 

Zee gently pecked Saint's eyes and cheeks before finally letting their lips connect. "Mmm, I've missed this." Saint said, pressing their foreheads press together for moment before continuing their kiss. Zee melted into the kiss, he'd missed this too. Very much. Just as Zee was getting really into it, a small fake cough broke the spell both men were under. "Stop kissing guys! It's time for my bath!" Millie informed them before heading out of the room.  "It's a good job I love her..." Saint said hesitantly pulling away from Zee. "Yeah the adorable little cockblock..." Zee muttered under his breath, earning him a small smack from Saint. "Come on Husband, we can continue this later." Saint said leading Zee by the hand. 

Zee followed willingly, Saint was right, they could continue later. After all they had forever.
