58. Big Decisions

"let's foster him" I blurt. JJ looks over at me "really? You'd wanna do that?" he stutters. I nod my head and grabs his hands so he's facing me. "ya why not? he's going to a group home those suck ass."

This was a quick yet very big decision. Despite us barely having enough money to get by and 100% not ready for a child it was almost common sense to take him in. Besides he'd probably only be here for a little while, right? How hard could it be?

"oh fuck let's do it" JJ smiles, picking me up and kissing me passionately. "I love you" I say into the kiss. JJ pulls away "I love you" he smiles, pecking my lips once more.

"he can stay in the guest room and- I- holy shit this is like having a kid" he rambles. I giggle at the man I love most in this world. His smile still the same as I remember it when I fell in love with that blonde pogue boy.

We go into our house and set some stuff up. I make the bed while JJ rummages around, hiding anything not so kid friendly. Yes we may have all matured and grown up but that did not stop us from smoking pot every once in awhile.

A few phone calls to the pogues and my family later all we had to do was get temporary custody.

The Next Day

Turns out when someone doesn't want a kid is quite easy to get them into your possession. Maybe we did this all to fast and didn't think it through enough? But it's to late to turn back because we signed the temporary custody papers.

The little boy we'd only known for 2 months runs up to us from another room, hugging me once he reaches me. It was a pleasant surprise considering he would normally run to JJ first. "let's go to the store then home, yea?" I say. He looks up at me and nods his head.

JJ takes his hand while we walk in the parking lot. The little boy drags his trash bag of stuff behind him. It made me sad knowing that he'd never known love.

We make our way to the store, letting him pick out a bed set for his new room and a few cheap toys considering we didn't have much money.

When we arrive home we show the little boy around. "this is your room ok? Cam and I's is right across the all so if you need anything you can wake one of us up" JJ explains. His face lights up as he runs and belly flops onto the bed.

"this is the best day ever!" he giggles. I smile while watching him, the biggest smile glued on his face. We continue showing him where everything is and we set up all his stuff in his room.

Many hours later he passed out on the couch. JJ carrie's him into his room before coming back to sit with me. "this isn't gonna change anything, right?" he asks, pulling me into his arms.

"this is gonna change everything Jay, but it's all gonna work out" I snuggle into his chest. "I love you" I say and before I can even hear him say it back I'm dead asleep in his arms.
