The Curse Of Reality

********* Months later....

Manny sighed as he tripped down the stairs. "The baby boy is starving!" He mumbled as Chuck appeared beside him.

"I heard. I have it." Chuck smiled at his husband. The baby was in his arms.

Manny giggled. "I have it!"

They raced to the kitchen and used teamwork to make the bottle. Chuck got the formula, added the powder to the bottle, and took the baby from Manny. Manny added the water and shook it and took the baby back. Chuck put it in the bottle warmer as he kissed Manny and then the baby.

"Guys?" Meghan's voice came from the living room. "I could have gotten up!" She rushed to the kitchen.

Manny smiled at her. "You are getting sleep. You are supposed to rest. Doctor's orders, Lovely!" He smiled as the woman walked in. She was as tall as Manny with pretty soft blonde hair that was messy right now.

Chuck held the bottle as the baby in his arms melted. He was a cuddler. He loved to be held and snuggled in. "This baby will never walk!" He kissed the baby's cheek. "I'm never going to put him down!"

Manny nodded. "He's so precious! I'm never letting him leave the house!" He teased as Meghan gasped.

"No! I have to take that baby shopping with me!" She smiled. "I'm glad that Sabrina loves to shop! For gay men, you all are failures!" Neither of them cared to shop.

Manny did his shopping online. He still couldn't do big crowds so he still worked on his phobia. It would be a lifetime of work. He was always working on himself and always trying.

Chuck laughed. "Maybe Alexander Angus here will love to shop!" He kissed the baby again. "Huh, baby Alex?"

Manny smiled. They had agreed to name the baby after Manny's friend who died at the school shooting. The one that pulled Manny down onto the floor and saved his life.

Meghan had planned to leave after she had the baby but the boys wanted to keep her around. So, she wasn't leaving just yet. She already agreed to stay in their lives forever. Manny didn't want to let her go.

"So, the guys will be here in the morning." Chuck sighed as he kissed the baby. "Vin wanted to meet Alex."

"And we can't keep the uncles away!" Manny smiled. He leaned in and kissed Alex. "I love my men!" He placed a gentle kiss on Chuck too.

Chuck smiled. "And we love you!"

Meghan smiled at them. "I am heading back to bed. I am going to lunch with my mom tomorrow and the date is coming up!" The date that they agreed that she would move back to her apartment was coming up in a week.

Chuck nodded. "And we have to get to bed. The guys will be here early!"

Manny smiled. "They will!" He loved that he had family and friends. He wasn't alone and he owed that to Chuck. "Let's get this boy tucked in."

Chuck nodded and followed Manny upstairs with a big yawn. He was tired.
