"kids four and under are on the right, five and up is on the left," the lady smiled.

both tyler and josh grinned and nodding, holding each other's hand as they immediately tuned right.

today was the day they would get to meet their future child.

as soon as he walked in, tyler was tackled by about fifteen toddlers, all pulling him down to the ground and hugging him. they were all just happy to see someone so cuddly looking.

josh stood and grinned as he watched tyler surrounded by all the adorable babies, but one baby in particular caught his attention.

he was sitting alone in the corner, his eyes filled with tears since he wasn't old enough to walk yet. he was blonde and didn't look a day over one with blue eyes and an adorably chubby body.

"hi, handsome," josh grinned, sitting down in front of the boy and holding his hands out.

the baby immediately giggled, hitting his hands against josh's and bouncing up as down as he sat.

josh grinned and tickled the baby's sides, the baby blushing and bursting into a fit of giggles, butt-scooting over to josh and staring up at him.

"what, cutie?" josh giggled, looking down at the boy.

"ah!" the baby exclaimed, bouncing in place again.

"you want a hug?" josh grinned, holding the baby in his arms and hugging him tightly. "i'll give you a hug, cutie."

the baby giggled and gently hugged joshua back, not really understand how to hold onto him.

"what's your name, handsome?" he grinned at the boy, sitting against the wall and holding the baby in his lap.

the baby just giggled taking josh's hand and starting to chew on his finger.

"ohhh, you don't wanna eat that," josh giggled, gently pulling his finger away. he then took both the baby's hands and moved them up and down, making engine sounds and moving them up and down.

tyler really wanted to go meet the boy, but he was occupied by a pair of twin girls both kissing his cheeks and giggling, tyler giggling as well.

eventually, the twins got bored and tyler quickly made his way over to his husband and the baby. the baby's eyes widened as if he was meeting someone famous and he immediately started grunting, wanting his chance to cuddle with tyler.

tyler giggled and sat down, holding his hands out to the baby. "hi, handsome!"

josh helped the baby stand up, and with one big hop, he jumped into tyler's lap, all three boys giggling.

tyler picked the baby up, carrying him to the front desk. "hi! we'd like to know more about this handsome boy," he giggled as the baby held josh's arm and kissed up and down it as he was held by tyler.

"oh, goodness! that's oliver! he's the sweetest isn't he?" the lady said, waving hi to the baby.

"YA!" the baby exclaimed, frantically nodding with head with a wide grin, causing all three adults to start laughing.

"he's 13 months old, he was born completely healthy, just a little heavy," she said giggling as she saw the baby's tubby belly sticking out from underneath his shirt. "he's incredibly sweet and honestly just wants to have hugs and kisses all the time. he sleeps the majority of the day and absolutely loooooves his snack time."

"i think he could be the one," tyler smiled as the baby rested against his shoulder giggling.

josh smiled and nodded in agreement, resting his forehead against his husband's.

"you're adorable, ollie," josh giggled, rubbing the baby's back softly.

"oh, and just so you know, he gets distracted easily," the lady added.

"it's ok. i'm used to it with this one," josh laughed, nudging his husband's side.

tyler shrugged and smiled. "can't really deny that one."

they played with oliver for two more hours, eventually signing the papers confirming the the boy was to be their son within the next month.

the joseph-dun family was growing, just as tyler and joshua had always dreamed of.
