(Eddie and Frank have been married for years, and on their anniversary, Frank wants to surprise Eddie with the next step to their relationship. Also, since this is the 1980s, there are still orphanages)
3rd Person Pov:
Eddie was sitting at the kitchen table after work, enjoying a cup of tea, and waiting for Franks' return. Earlier, Frank left the house to go fetch the anniversary gift and told Eddie not to move.
(Yesterday night)
Franks' Pov:
I wait in bed for Eddie to finish brushing his teeth and change into his night clothes as I read. My reading is interrupted by a loud thud, Eddie was trying to sneak up on me again. "Why do you keep doing that? You know you're gonna fail." He jumped up to his feet and kissed me on the cheek before turning off my light. "Hey, I was still reading." I would chuckle as he crawls into bed next to me and starts kissing all over my face as he put his cold hands under my shirt, the cold and affection causing me to giggle and squirm. "Eddieee, your hands are *giggles* cold!" He finally snuggled up to me, allowing his torso to warm up my back as his hands froze my belly.
Eddies' Pov:
"Frank?" I asked quietly "Yes Eddie?" I snuggled closer and stuck my face in the back of their neck. "Do you want to have a family with me?" Frank shuffled to turn towards me, "Are we not already a family?" I smiled at them and kissed them on the nose "Well of course we are, but I mean kids, y'know?"
3rd Person Pov:
Frank paused from the question, pondering on what to say. "I don't know, maybe. Do you?" Eddie nodded in an unsure way. "Then I'll sleep on it, alright?" Frank placed their hands on the eighther side of their husband's face and softly kissed him before hugging Eddie close. "Alright. Good night, sweetheart.". "Good night, love."
(Back to the present)
Eddies' Pov:
I finally heard the front door open and someone step in, I hopped out of my seat and peeked down the hallway to see if it was Frank and not Julie (she tends to let herself in sometimes). Frank noticed me peeking around the corner and covered his mouth to giggle a little before walking down the hallway towards the kitchen where I was. "I got your gift." I walked towards Frank and handed him some tea while he handed me a stack of papers stapled together. "Please don't tell me you're divorcing me?" Frank laughed and shook his head."No, of course not! Read the thing first." I looked down at the papers and sat back in my chair as Frank sat across from me, waiting for my reaction. I flipped through the first couple of pages at first, not understanding most of it. While skimming through, however, I came across a word that made me stop dead in my tracks, 'adoption'. I quickly flipped to the last page that had signature lines and the photo of a little girl on it. "Is this what I think it is?"
Franks' Pov:
I set down my tea, 'Took ya long enough.' I thought in my head. "Well, that depends. What do you think it is?" He looked at me so excited, his body was shaking, and it looked like he was about to fall out of his chair, when all the sudden he hopped up from his chair ran over to me and swooped me up while jumping around happily. "I'm gonna be a dad! We're gonna be parents!" I couldn't help but laugh as he dipped me low and kissed me their in the middle of our kitchen. "Yes, yes, Eddie, we are adopting. The meeting to sign the papers is in 20 minutes, so go get ready." Eddie quickly set me down as softly as he could and sprinted to the bedroom. If he's not careful, he'll break something or run into a wall.
(At the orphanage🦇)
3rd Person Pov:
The two waited patiently as the head nun, Sister Nelly (Nelly Nun), looked over their information while the little girl they were awaiting to adopt anxiously waited in the corner. "Alright, just sign here and here, and she's yours in a week. We'll be sending a nun to your house in a month to see how things are holding up, and if you pass the inspection, she's yours forever." She handed Frank a pen, and while he was signing, she looked over to Eddie and looked visibly puzzled."Are you gonna be the uncle?" Eddie chuckled and rubbed the back of his neck, "Well no, we both are adopting her." Eddie would somewhat whisper as he was scared they wouldn't be able to adopt as a gay couple. "Oh. Alright, well, I'd advise having lady friends over occasionally to get her used to other girls." She didn't sound pleased, but she was also too desperate to get rid of these kids that she wouldn't care if a hippo adopted them as long as it had a house and job.
(I don't fucking know how adoption works so imma just skip to them bringing her home like a week later 💅)
3rd Person Pov:
It was finally the time, Eddie and Frank had a daughter and she was in their house exploring every nook and cranny, especially the bookshelf, she seemed just as interested in books as Frank. The two stood in every doorway, watching as their daughter mapped out her new house. They were so happy that they actually went through with adoption. The girl they adopted was named Darcy, she had blue-green eyes and her hair was black and long it was also very thick, her skin was orange like Eddies' and she had the cutest button nose, even cuter than Julie's.
Franks' Pov:
After a while watching Darcy try to figure out how to open my closet, I finally stepped into the room and kneeled beside her, "You know the reason you probably can't open it is because it's handles are too high for you to reach, can I help?" She looked up at me, a little smile appearing on her face as she nodded yes shyly, I carefully picked her up, holding her on my hip and allowing her to open the closet doors herself though she did struggle a few times. Eddie, being a little shy to make a first impression, peeked from the doorway the way he does from the kitchen when checking if it's me who entered the house. After a while of me helping Darcy around the house, we finally started to head towards her bedroom to put her to bed. I let(made) Eddie do the honors of introducing to her room and putting her to sleep in her bed while now I sat in the doorway watching.
Eddies' Pov:
I was so nervous as I took Darcy from Frank and showed her around her room, I mainly pointed at things and kinda just let her look since I was nervous she wouldn't react well to my accent. "Alrighty, and that's the tour!" I finally actually managed out a little confidence, which somewhat startled her on how my accent just slipped out while before I sounded like a frog trying not to croak. As I set her down on her bed and attempted to pull the blankets over her, she suddenly stopped me. "Wait." She was whispering, but I could tell what she was saying."What's a matter, Darcy?" I sat down next to her on her bed, and Frank came over and sat with me. "I- Can I sleep with one of you tonight?" Me and Frank looked at each other. He smiled softly at me and then turned to look at Darcy, "Well, why not both of us? You can come sleep in our bed." She seemed confused for a moment, and then her eyes lit up."Do I get two daddys?" Frank chuckled and picked her up before starting to walk to our bedroom with her, I got up and followed with a smile on my face as they continued to talk about her, 'special situation'.
3rd Person Pov:
Soon after Eddies routine and Frank reading all throughout it, they finally drifted off to sleep with Darcy held between.
