Woah...! Little kid! 😁😁 (all fluff)

-Uhm, Eddy, I told my cousin we'll watch her kid this weekend. I hope you're ok with that?
She is just a baby, but I know her well, I've been babysitting her before.
-Your cousin?
-No, her kid!! Brett laughed.
-How old is she?
-6 months
-6 months?? How on earth did you get to know her that well in those months??
-They have been here a lot, actually they lived here for a period as well, when my cousin's boyfriend kicked them out some time ago. What an ass!
Eddy looked confused, blinking his eyes .
-And I missed out on all of that? You never told me!
Brett laughed again.
-Duuuh, Eddy! When we're together we're mostly at your place!
I have a life besides you, you know!
Eddy pretended to be offended.
-I thought I was your only one....
-That sounds pretty unhealthy! But we'll spend more time together when we finally get to move in together you know?
Brett looked up and stroked Eddy's cheek with the back of his fingers.
He thought about the apartment they bought together some weeks ago and felt the anticipation tickling in his belly.
-Yeah.... Oh, I can't wait! Eddy smiled widely, his eyes longing.
-I know!

Brett's cousin's daughter was a happy, lively and quick little girl who got Eddy's admiration from the first sight. She had been brought over to the Yang-house, and Eddy looked down at the doll in the carseat. Two intense, dark blue eyes looked back at him, he felt like they were staring right into his soul.
She smiled at him and reached her arms toward him.
-Oh my God, she is beautiful! That's the cutest thing I've seen my whole life!
-I know, right?
Brett smiled and seemed proud.
-Can we keep her?
-I don't think so Eddy.
-Pleeeaseee?
-No. I'm sorry, silly...!
Brett shaked his head and snickered, before sorting out all the stuff that was brought with the kid.
Eddy was busy, squatting, babbling to the little princess, she was extatic getting all of his attention. Eddy let her examine his hand.
In the moment when Brett was done, turning to them again, she grabbed his indexfinger and held on to it, hard.
Eddy felt something fluttering in his heart.
-Would you like to have one of these one day?, he finally dared to ask when Brett was next to him again. Deep down he knew the answer, but he guessed he hoped Brett would change his mind seeing his interaction with her. Brett couldn't be that heartless, he couldn't possibly resist this!!
-How's that supposed to work? We would need a chick for that..
-Well, there are options..
-No, Eddy, you know what I think about having a kid.
-We haven't talked about it since we were a couple.
-No, but I didn't change my mind anyway. I don't want kids.
-I kinda thought you would change your mind when you got an SO. At least I hoped so..
-Eddy, having a kid is a huge responsability!
-Yeah?
-I'm not ready! I wanna conquer the world. With you!
Brett turned to him and wrapped his arms around him, looking up at him.
-We can't do that while having a baby at the same time.
Eddy sighed and something stung Brett's chest. A feeling of guilt of some sort? A feeling of not being good enough, a feeling of not being able to give his love what he wanted the most.
Eddy had always been very fond of kids. And Brett had hoped that watching Becky could help calming Eddy down a bit in that matter. So far that plan seemed to have the opposite effect.
Brett sighed as well.
-I guess we just have to be grateful to babysit this cutie every once in a while.
- She s just... heaven on earth! We COULD keep her?
-Yes, and no! Now, stop it, Eddy!
Brett was about to feel tired of those stabs in his heart.
-Look, all I want is for us to have a nice weekend together, yeah?
Brett looked hurt. Eddy tried to let the thought go away.
-We can... maybe we can talk about it again some years from now or so...
-I'm afraid we're gonna get too old...
-That's the good thing about being two men! We never get too old!, Brett chuckled.

-Ugh, it's an old episode of Seinfeld! That's some real old shit, isn't it?
-Yeah, from the early 90's or something? My God, I feel old!
All 3 of them were sitting in front of the tv, trying to stay entertained for the rest of the evening. Becky was sitting on Brett's lap, fiddling with his hands.
Brett reached for a blue spinner which his nephew had left on the table.
He showed it to Becky. She grabbed it, still a little bit clumsy, but she got it. She quickly put it in her mouth, exploring it the only way she could at her age, chewing on it with her sore gums.
-Did you know that bassline isn't even played by a real bass? Eddy looked at Brett.
-No, I didn't. You should tell Davie504!
-He told me!
-Oh..
-It's a keyboard!
-Wow..
-Yeah. They're replacing us. A few years from now they don't need no orchestras no more. All it takes is one guy sitting there with a keyboard..
-Oooff!
-Yeah, can you imagine? Military bands, replaced by three dudes marching through the streets, having a plastic board hanging around their necks...
-Stop it! You're giving me nightmares!
Becky seemed to agree, she threw the spinner on the floor.
-Yeah, I know, right, girl? It's disgusting!
Brett bent down and picked the spinner up again, Eddy seemed lost in the old gags on the tv. Typically Eddy, he liked some weird stuff.
-Look! Brett showed Becky how to spin the spinner. Becky widened her eyes and smiled, as if impressed.
Brett guided her fingers to spin it again.
-Yeeeaahh, there you go, you got it!, he cheered and Becky giggled, before she grabbed it from him, tasting it again.
She fell down backwards, softly in Brett's arms.
-You tired? Try get some sleep, Brett said lovingly, stroking her hair.
