Forth and Jaron were early at the airport. Initially it was just to pick up Beam but eventually, Bjorn's flight will also arrive around the same time. Max had called the day before to inform him that the Diloknawarits and Suthilaks will be joining Bjorn in his flight to Bangkok.
Beam was giddy in excitement once he reached the gate and saw his husband and son waiting for him. He immediately ran towards them and was engulfed in Forth's waiting arms.
"I missed you love" Beam murmured against Forth's chest.
"I missed you too. We missed you, baby" Forth replied as he dropped a kiss on the doctor's temple. "How was your trip?"
Beam groaned and stayed in Forth's embrace. "Tiring but so worth it...still, it took my time with you guys" he said before slowly pulling away and facing Jaron.
"How's my little one? Papa missed you so much" He asked his son as he crouched low before him.
"I missed you too Papa" Jaron said as he wrapped his arms around his father. "Daddy bought me so many things" he waved the new phone he held in front of Beam.
The doctor smiled and teased them both. "Oh, what happened with the one I got you? Don't tell me you love Daddy more than me now" he mock pouted.
Jaron bit his lip guiltily. "It's not that Papa. I love both you and Daddy equally" he said while looking down at his feet.
"Oy Beam, stop messing with him" Forth came to the boy's rescue. "I got him this phone since I noticed his fascination in taking photos. They're pretty good and his talent could be enhanced"
Beam smiled at his husband. "I was just teasing him love" he said as he stood beside them with an arm around Jaron's shoulder and the other on Forth's waist.
Just then, the group decided to make their presence known to the couple who seemed like too oblivious to their surroundings. It was Phana who cleared hus throat to gain their attention.
"Uncle Pha!" Jaron called as he caught sight of them and greeted each one in the group after getting released from Phana's hug.
"Hello Pha" Forth greeted and then looked at Thanu curiously.
"This is P'Thanu, Yo's husband" Beam introduced him. "He was at the wedding"
"Oh yeah. Now I remember" Forth acknowledged with a smile as he offered his hand to the man.
Thanu took it and shook his hand. "Glad to meet you boss"
Forth grinned sheepishly and scratched his nape with his free hand. "That's just only at work Phi. Let's be casual when we're outside the hospital"
Before Thanu could even response, Wayo and Mark arrived together with three boys. Thanu opened his arms for the youngest boy to jump up to him to be carried.
"P'Forth! It's been so long" Wayo said as he hugged the older man quickly before stepping back. "We weren't able to catch up since you came back. We were there at the wedding but both you and P'Beam were too busy mingling around"
"Aish Yo! You could've just pulled both of us together that time" Forth said with a chuckle. "I'm glad you're happy and dping well Yo"
"Thanks Phi. My husband is the best and you can all dispute as much as you want that yours are better, I won't give a shit. For me he is" Wayo said as he challengingly looked at their friends.
"Can you cut out the cursing part? There are children here" Ming scowled at his best friend and tried to smack him on the head but Thanu immediately shielded his husband.
"Both of you stop acting like kids" Phana berated his husband and ex-boyfriend in a teasing manner.
Both Ming and Wayo just stuck their tongues out at each other while in the arms of their husbands. This garnered a chuckle from their friends.
"Both of you are worse than kids" Mark commented while wrapping an arm around Kit's waist.
"Oh Forth" Kit called out. "These are our kids. This one is Mikah, mine and Mark's" he introduced the boy near him. "The one by Pha is his and Ming's. His name is Param and a few months younger than Jaron"
"Is Mikah the same age as Jaron and Param?" Forth asked curiously.
"Nope babe. Mikah is a year younger than Jaron. Param is four or five months younger than our son and that boy" Beam pointed to the little boy being carried by Thanu. "He is the youngest in the group. Five years younger to be exact. His name is Tavin"
Jaron was busy with his new phone while the adults caught up with each other. Phana was the one who broke up the impromptu gathering.
"Let's catch up with each other sometime. We need to be complete so we could bully each other better" Phana stated. "Right now I'm knackered and it's family time for us before heading back to work next week"
"Pha's right. You guys go home and take a rest. We'll stay here for a while and wait for Bjorn's flight" Forth told the group.
They all said their goodbyes while Forth led his husband and Jaron to sit while waiting for Bjorn. Beam was fumbling around with his bag when Forth nudged him. When he was able to look back, he heard a camera click and was surprised to see Jaron taking a photo of them.
"What's the photo for?" Beam asked with a smile.
"Nothing Papa. I just wanted to have a photo wherein you two are together...this will be the first of many" Jaron answered with a giggle.
"That's right" Forth said as he pulled the boy on his lap. "You can take as many pictures as you want. Even candid ones and then you can select which ones appeal to you most" he said in an encouraging tone.
Beam was so happy to see them interacting like that. He enjoyed the moment as he just listens to their exchange of ideas with taking pictures.
It was almost an hour when it was announced that Bjorn's plane has landed.
