-Fiat-He stares at me in the dark with the biggest and cutest of grins.
"Why are you so happy?" I ask him.
"That baby has your face."
"And?"
"And it's too cute. A baby Fiat."
"Are you excited?"
"I think I am. Don't get me wrong this is some super fucked up rich people kdrama inspired mess. But it makes me excited to see a baby with your face."
My heart melts to a puddle, "I love you."
"Why are you saying that?"
"Do you get why I have to do this?"
"You don't want him to feel like you did when you were younger."
I nod.
"He won't, that kid is going to be so fucking spoiled."
I laugh, "You think?"
"I know. I'm almost jealous of Fiat Jr."
"I can spoil you both."
"Promise?"
"I promise."
His eyes drift to my Adam's apple, "I think that's what I was afraid of."
"What?"
"Sharing you, becoming less important to you."
"And now?"
"I guess I'm ok with it."
"Why all of a sudden?"
"I guess the not knowing put me on edge. How can I have a place if I don't know what's going on?"
"Do you have a place?"
"Im gonna be an uncle."
"You're gonna be a dad."
His eyes go big, "I'm going to be a dad? That's insane."
"My son will see us together as a couple. You're not my brother, we will be married one day. How can my son call you uncle?"
"That is a lot to digest in one sitting."
"You have about three weeks, maybe."
"Yikes. That is scary. Are you excited?"
I consider this, "I don't think it will be real until I see his face."
"We did see his face."
"Touch his face then."
"Whoa trippy." He mutters.
I lean up and flip us over. I lay my head on his chest and listen to his heartbeat as he strokes my hair.
"Goodnight baby." I tell him before his heartbeat lulls me to sleep.
-Morning-
*Riiiiiiinnnnnng**Riiiiiinnng*
My alarm goes off and I quickly reach for my phone so it won't wake Art.
I sit my phone down and look beside me Art and Milo are both gone.
I know it's irrational but I immediately get anxious. He doesn't usually wake up before me.
I hop out of bed and peer into the bathroom.
