(COMPLETE) Love Isn't Conditional

Epilogue

Roman unlocked the door of his parent's house and walked in. It was unusually quiet everywhere; Patton was still playing with his stepbrother in his house – Roman's boyfriend watching over them. He erupted into a smile thinking of that word. Logan Yerkes-Dodson was his boyfriend, he couldn't believe it. After their kiss the pair decided that boyfriends was what fit their relationship, and Logan even offered for Roman to move in. So Roman had to return to his family home, update his parents on the move and pack. He was practically shaking with excitement.

His parents, Emile and Remy Windsor, were sat at the dining room table having breakfast together. Remy sipped his coffee while Emile was typing quickly on his laptop. Both their heads turned when they spotted their son entering the house without his little energy ball and with a wide smile and a blushing face.

"Where's Patton kiddo?" Emile chirped, nudging the chair next to him so Roman could sit. Remy sipped his coffee again, louder, and raised an eyebrow at his son.

"He's at Logan's. There's kind of some big news..." Roman almost squealed in his excitement, struggling to keep still and kicking his legs back and forth like a small child who got their first crush. This was exactly like that, every fibre of his being was telling Roman that this was true love and Logan was the one that he'd be spending the rest of his life with. Emile smiled softly and Remy chuckled.

"Was it an 18+ sleepover for you kiddo?" Remy said calmly even though he held his normal mischievous smile as Roman became red. Emile elbowed his husband in response trying to hide his own laugh.

Nothing during the night had resorted to that, even though the pair were dating now. In fact after the kiss and the pair sending their sons to bed for the second time they only exchanged cuddles and quick pecks on the lips. When it became time for the two adults to sleep Logan mentioned he wasn't comfortable sharing a bed just yet. Roman slept on the sofa as he had done on the boys' sleepovers previously, and he didn't mind as long as his new boyfriend was comfortable. "No... But Logan and I are a – couple now..." Roman smiled more watching his pink wearing father's eyes glow excitedly as he clapped his hands.

"Oh yes! You two are the cutest together! I'm so glad to have Logan as a son in law!" Emile was screaming excitedly, shaking his husband and giggling. Patton definitely got his infectious laughter and happiness from his Grandad. Roman was smiling until he registered the meaning of 'son in law' in this context. Then the blush came.

"I – Daaad! We aren't married yet don't say that!"

Emile only giggled as Remy's hand went around him, looking at his drama loving son with the most happiness and love in the world. It felt nice, Emile knew Logan well so he knew his father approved of their relationship. That was more than his relationship with Janus where only Roman properly knew him. It felt like fate the two were meant to end up together.

"Yeah Emmy he needs to have the dick first..." Remy whispered, keeping in his character and giving his husband a nuzzle. Emile punched him playfully again and giggled, leaning on his husband. Roman wished this relationship would be like the one he watched his parents go through everyday, it was so lovely to watch those two grow old and still love each other so much.

Roman left his thoughts, perking up again. "Oh – and I'm moving in with him today."

Quickly Roman left as his father did more freaking out, telling Remy how 'as soon as he lay eyes on Logan he knew the two of them would fall in love' and 'Virgil finally has a grandad and he will spoil him dry even more now'. Roman continued with his smile, excited to begin his life with his boyfriend.

"Roman and Logan Windsor, can you come into the play room?" The soft spoken social worker said to the two husbands in the waiting room. Logan and Roman were holding hands, Logan leaning on his husband slightly and with a slight nervous expression. This was a big moment for them – they were expanding their family again. Today the husbands would meet the child they had been planning to adopt for a few months now, the little boy they fell in love with on the poster: Thomas. What if Logan didn't bond with him correctly? He was quite lucky getting Virgil as a newborn so there were no attachment issues for either of them but adopting a child was a whole different story. Thomas was 2, almost 3 as his birthday was in April and it was January at this visit. And psychologically that meant Thomas was the perfect age to reject any caregiver presented to him.
