The Cat and the Wolf / Muke Sequel

Chapter Nineteen.

Michael woke up to the smell of bacon. Luke was cooking. He sat up and realized that they slept on the makeshift pillow/blanket bed they made and that he was naked. 

That's right, Michael smiled to himself, Luke gave me a promise ring.

He got up, put on Luke's shirt, and walked to the kitchen where Luke was cooking in his boxers.

"Good morning, Kitten," Luke said, spinning around and placing a plate in front of Michael.

"Morning," Michael hummed, taking a bite of his food.

"I was thinking breakfast and a little skinny dip?" Luke suggested, sitting next to Michael.

"Sounds good," Michael smiled, continuing to eat.

So that's what they did. They ate their breakfast and then jumped into the lake, naked. Michael was shivering so Luke brought him to him.

"I'll keep you warm," He whispered and rested his head on top of Michaels. "I'll keep you safe," he added.

"I am so in love with you," Michael mumbled into Luke's chest.

"I am so so so in love with you," Luke said back.

They stayed in the water until their fingers became prunes. Then got out and wrapped themselves in towels and made their way back into the cabin. Luke saw his phone buzzing and looked at it.

"Fuck, Kitten," Luke said, looking up from his phone.

"What?" Michael asked.

"Our baby is on the way."

Luke and Michael rushed to the hospital after getting dressed and packing. Luke was nervously tapping on the steering wheel on the way here and Michael was nervously biting his nails.

They were going to hold their baby today. They were going to become fathers today. They were going to become a family today.

When they got to the hospital Denise was already pushing. They rushed into the room where Luke held Denise's hand and Michael held Luke's, tears streaming down his face.

Before they knew it, it was all over. It felt like a dream to all three of them. Denise was panting, Luke was shaking and Michael was crying.

The doctor held the crying baby in his hands, wiping him as the three waited patiently. 

"It's a boy," The doctor announced, looking up. 

Luke and Michael gasped, smiling widely at each other. The baby was passed to Denise first. She held him gently and was also crying.

"Welcome to the world, little guy," she spoke softly, "you have the two best father's anyone could ever have in world, I hope you appreciate them, not everyone gets that lucky to have two fathers." 

Luke and Michael held hands and smiled at her as she mumbled a few more words to the baby. Then the doctor took him away to get cleaned.

"Thank you, for doing this," Denise spoke.

"No, thank you, I could only imagine what it's like giving up a child," Luke said.

"It's hard, but I know you guys will take better care of him more than I will," Denise smiled.

"If you want, you're welcome to stay in his life," Michael said with a gentle smile.

"I'd like that," Denise nodded.

The doctor came back with their now cleaned up baby and handed him to Luke. Luke held him gently to his chest and Michael hovered over him.

"Have you thought of any names, Kitten?" Luke asked.

Michael nodded. "I was thinking Andrew."
