"What do you mean?" Harry asked and Johnny waved at his daddy. "Hi, big boy." Thomas said and then he let out a sigh. "Before...even if I had my brother and sister, I was alone, Harry. Facing the real possibility of raising my boy by myself. Even though ... Jasper is still new to this world, I'm not alone. Johnny doesn't realize Jasper isn't anybody but his second daddy." Thomas said. "I'm glad, Thomas. Though, I understand you and your brother still have difficulties?" Harry asked and Thomas took his boy onto his lap. Johnny giggles. "We don't fight, but I think he is still upset with me. How I reacted, but I've done apologize and everything else. I don't know what else to do. It's making it worst because Jasper is asking about marriage and...I think I want to." Thomas said and Harry slowly out his shoes back on. "You need to talk to your brother more then. If it's something you want to do-" Harry started. "I don't want him to hate me, Harry." Thomas said. "He doesn't hate you. He might be a little hurt, but he will get over it." Harry said.

Harry Walked into the bedroom, were Little Ruth laid asleep on the big bed. She must not be feeling very well, was Harry's though. After all she was still in her jammies and the two year old had a pacifier in her mouth. Draco told Harry she stoped taking it a few months ago. Harry eased his head on her forehead. She had a slight temperature, and his touch woke her up. She fussed but reached her arm out. "I got you." Harry said softly, picking her up. She nuzzled to his neck, still sucking on her pacifier. "Draco?" Harry called for, getting to his feet, holding Ruth on his shoulder. "Bathroom." Draco said, before Harry heard the giggles.
Draco was giving Daniel a bath. "Somebody is a happy boy!" Harry said. "Yeah. Mom is going to take him out with Dean. I called the pediatrician, he said to keep them apart until her fever is understand control." Draco said. "Awe, what's the matter with Ruth?" Harry said, patting her back. "Just a cold I think. You look tried, Harry." Draco said. "I've had a lot on my mind is all." Harry said. "Lay down with Ruth." Draco said.

Ruth laid nuzzled to Harry's chest when Draco came back into the bedroom. Harry was asleep, but Ruth was still awake. Draco knew his girl still didn't feel to good as she was still sucking on her pacifier and looked at her daddy with Sleepy, but don't want to sleep, eyes. "Are you keeping pappy warm?" Draco said as she eased on her back, Harry's arm falling to the bed. Draco lend down picking Ruth up off the bed and up her on his hip. Harry yawned in his lap as Draco pulled the blanket up over Harry before he curried his toddler out the room.
Draco put Ruth in the playpen and turned something on the TV for her to watch before easing to sit down on the couch.

Thomas had went out with Zachary and joined him on the swing outside. "What is it...that I have to do to get you past the last?" Thomas said. "Tommy, I told you, that wasn't the problem. It isn't you." Zachary said. "Then what is wrong? You've been so upset this last few weeks and I know it started when you over heard us talking about...." Thomas cut himself short. "I don't care if you want to marry him or not, your eighteen. I just don't want you guys to leave, but that isn't what's wrong." Zachary said. "Then what is wrong?" Thomas asked and Zachary got to his feet. "Just stuff okay?" Zachary said. "Zach, what's wrong?" Thomas said and Zachary let out a sigh.  "I  don't want to talk about it right now. I'm fine with you getting married, okay? I'm going to go lay down." Zachary said, starting to walk away. Thomas grabbed his arm, stoping him form walking away. "Zachary, please." Thomas said. "I'll let you know in a couple days, I'm waiting on the appointment with our doctor okay? It's not you." Zachary said, pulling his arm away form his brother before he went into the house.

"Hey." Jasper said when he came back from teaching his class to Thomas who was sitting on the bed. "Hey, class went okay?" Thomas asked and he nodded. "I don't like the drive." Jasper said, easing to sit down beside Thomas. "I talked to Zachary and Mary. I went ahead and made the appointment I was telling you about, if...you are sure that's what you want." Thomas asked and he smiled. "It is. They said then I can adopted Johnny fully." Jasper said. "Jasper, you sign his birth certificate and by the law...he is yours, why would you want to adopt him? You know ... Even if we do marry... Marriages fall apart and I mean...you'll already have your own kid." Thomas whispered. "Tommy, Johnny is my son. I'm not going to let some stupid technicality come back to bite us in the butt. I must still have my problems with this world, but You and Johnny are kind. I want it to stay that way. When's that appointment?" Jasper asked. "This afternoon. I'm going to dress Johnny up, and take him with us." Thomas said "okay."

Johnny was not a big fan of his little suit, but he was up on Thomas hip, who was in a dress outfits, Thomas wasn't a fan of suits on his person, but like the one on Jasper, who held the silver wedding bands. "Are you two ready?" Said the preacher to get waved at by Johnny. "Why look at this big boy." He said and Thomas put him on his feet. "Would you believe he is just ten months old?" Thomas said.
