"Hoe," I shout. I hear Iris laugh from the other room.

"I can't tell if you're yelling at me, or not," She says.

"I'm yelling at this person on Fortnite," I sigh.

"I didn't think you were going to play Fortnite tonight," She says, walking into the room. "I thought Paige took her melatonin."

"After this round, baby," I assure without looking away from my monitor. "After this round Paige will take her melatonin."

"After this round Paige needs to talk to Iris," She says.

"What's wrong?" I ask, turning off my game.

"Nothings wrong," She corrects. "I just want to talk to you about something serious."

I turn around in my chair and face her. She's sitting on the couch in my gaming room. Ever since we moved into an actual house, this has been my favorite room. Iris is currently wearing a pair of my boxers and one of my fever shirts. I can tell that she isn't wearing a bra. Her hair is up in a bun on the top of her head.

"What did you need to talk about, baby girl?" I ask.

Her cheeks turn visibly red from the name. "Uh-" she stutters. "I was thinking about what we talked about, like, six months ago."

I scan my mind for what she could be talking about. "hm?"

"About, uh, a baby?" She says.

My eyebrows raise involuntarily. "What?"

"I want to have a baby of our own," She tells me.

"Like, right now?" I ask.

"I don't know," She shrugs.

"I thought you wanted to adopt," I remind her.

"I did want to adopt," She corrects. "I've been thinking about how it would feel different if we adopted I want our child to have a part of us in them."

"Let's get to work, then," I smirk. I stand up and do my "rizz hands" as I walk over to her.

She laughs as I straddle her hips. "I'm trying to be serious!"

"Me too!" I laugh. "Let's try for a baby right now." We stare at each other for a second. "In all seriousness, I'd love to do this. I want to try to have a baby. I don't care how expensive it is, I'll pay. I want to go to all the appointments. I want to hold your hair back when you throw up. I want to help you feel better in the middle of the night. I want to be holding your hand as you have our baby."

An even bigger smile forms on her face. "Really?"

"Of course," I smile.

She peeks down at my lips before leaning in to connect them.

I stand up and pick her up by the thighs. We continue to kiss as I carry her up the stairs and into our room. I can hear Kat meowing as we enter the room. At this point, she's gotten the hint that when we're doing this, she should leave us alone. She lays back down on her bed as I set Iris down on the bed.

I pull my shirt over my head before coming down to kiss Iris. Our kiss is slow and perfect. It doesn't have any tongue yet. My bottom lip moves against her top. My hands sit next to her head on the bed, holding me up.
