A HOUSE FULL OF LİGHT

new member of the family

Bible and Jes are partners who have been through their fair share of ups and downs. From the chaos of youth, their lives are now a testament to resilience, love, and the unexpected beauty of becoming parents. Their story takes place in a cozy home filled with warmth, where every piece of furniture tells a story and the walls are lined with photos capturing moments of joy, laughter, and growth.

The story begins when Bible and Jes decide to adopt a child. The decision doesn’t come easy; it’s a mix of longing, anxiety, and countless late-night conversations. But once they set their minds to it, their journey shifts into the emotional whirlwind of adoption: the anticipation, the nervousness, the hope. Finally, they meet Yumi, a bright-eyed, talkative five-year-old girl who, despite her young age, has already shown resilience beyond her years.

Yumi’s arrival fills the house with boundless energy and mischief. Bible, with his calm and reflective nature, becomes the steady hand for bedtime stories and morning pancakes, while Jes, the more spontaneous and playful partner, teaches her the art of dance parties in the living room and impromptu karaoke sessions.

The fic explores how their identities as two men raising a daughter in a world that can be both loving and judgmental shape their experiences. The story highlights both tender and heart-wrenching moments, from Yumi’s first day at school where she proudly introduces her two dads to her classmates, to the deep conversations Bible and Jes have when the weight of society’s expectations seeps into their household.

Amid the challenges, the story showcases moments of pure, unfiltered love—Yumi falling asleep on Jes’s chest after a long day, or Bible teaching her to draw while Jes captures the moment with his camera, both men exchanging a look that says “we did it.” The three of them find strength in each other, learning what it means to be a family not defined by convention, but by the unyielding support and love they share.

The fic culminates in Yumi’s sixth birthday, a backyard celebration where friends, neighbors, and schoolmates come together. Under a sky lit with paper lanterns, Yumi blows out her candles, surrounded by the two men who have taught her that family isn’t just who you’re born with—it’s who stands by your side through everything. As Bible and Jes watch her laughing with her friends, they share a quiet moment filled with pride and an unspoken vow to continue building this life full of love, no matter what challenges come their way.
