ODDS OF LOVE : SEASON TEN

Episode 67

" Fire ," Theodore said as he opened his present from Spencer and DuBuis to find an  embossed leather bound sheet music copy of his song Alan's Song encased in a dark brown frame. " Thanks, Uncle Spencer, DuBuis. "

Sol was similarly impressed as he opened his present and saw a first edition hardback copy of former vice president Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth. " Wow. Thank you , Doc D , Doc Spencer. This is.... just wow. Mr. Peters told us about this book. He says that the environment is getting worse. Really worse. "

Luci yawned in her hot pink nightgown and matching bunny slippers. She rubbed the sleep from her eyes and then ripped the gift wrapping off her own gift. Her mouth dropped open as she saw what it was. A first edition hardback copy of A Communist Manifesto. Tears filled her eyes as she whispered," Thank you. My moms got rid of my first one. Thank you, Uncle D , Uncle Spencer. I love you guys so much. "

" It was Spencer's idea ," DuBuis grumbled but the tender look in his eyes belied his tone. He sat on the sofa beside Spencer who was seated with a colorful blanket from Jenessa spread across his legs. He was holding Miracle who gazed up at his face, cooing  odd sounds they didn't completely recognize.

Spencer said softly," No it was not. DuBuis came up with the idea. " He smiled at his husband who just rolled his eyes and took the baby from him gently so that Spencer could open his gift from him.

Spencer felt a small loss without the baby in his arms but he still was excited to see what DuBuis had gotten him this Christmas. His eyes widened as he opened the box and saw the precious baby book nestled within it. " Oh . This is wonderful. So wonderful. Now I can capture her whole life of development stages. I love you , sweetheart. "

DuBuis pressed a loving kiss to the baby's forehead and then one to Spencer's lips. " I love you too, Genius. "

Spencer blinked back tears. " You'll get your gift tonight. I'm glad we're in our new bedroom upstairs and Miracle is in the nursery now. "

DuBuis was confused and actually began to pout. " Why do I have to wait? What is it ? Tell me or I'll take the book back. "

Spencer laughed. " Don't you dare ! And, you will find out. Tonight . "

Then he smiled mischievously.
