luke lightly smiled as he saw michael walk into the door after work.
he looked back at the tv, and michael furrowed his eyebrows, and sat his jacket down.
usually luke runs over and jumps into his arms, asking him about his day, but not this time.
"hey, is everything okay?" michael asked.
"yeah.." luke sighed as michael sat down beside him, wrapping his arm around luke's shoulders. "...ashton and calum brought their little girl over today and we all watched barbie movies."
michael smiled, and kissed luke's head. he couldn't help but feel like something was still wrong, but he wasn't gonna push it.
"come here." luke said, and grabbed michael's hand, leading him to the kitchen.
michael watched carefully as the younger boy walked him to the kitchen. he just looked so upset for some reason.
"look, me and ariel made cookies.." luke said, leaning into michael's touch as he admired the adorable pink cookies.
"that's so adorable." michael whispered, and kissed luke's temple.
luke didn't smile or giggle like he usually does. he just kept a loose grip on michael's hand.
michael picked luke up, and sat him down on the counter. he stepped between his legs, his hands on luke's thighs.
"you've gotta tell me what's wrong. it's driving me insane knowing you're upset and i don't know why." michael said quietly, and luke shrugged, looking down at his lap.
"it's nothing." luke said, and shook his head.
"it's something."
luke shook his head, and michael lifted his head seeing his eyes were brimmed red.
"baby, please.." michael whispered, holding luke's waist tight.
"i know we've talked about this before, and we already decided on it, but after seeing ashton and calum with ariel, i want that.." luke cried, and his head fell again.
"you want a baby? luke-"
"i know. i know you don't want a kid, and i'm okay with that. it's just every time i get to baby sit her, i miss it when she's gone, you know? and ashton and calum are so happy. they're a little family."
michael wiped luke's tears, and hugged luke tight.
"how long have you been thinking about this?" michael whispered.
"for months. it just hurts sometimes."
"luke, i will not hesitate to raise a child with you. i want a family with you, luke. i've been thinking about it a little, also. i think we're ready for this." michael told him, rocking him back and forth.
"you mean that? michael, i want a baby." luke whispered.
"yes i mean it." michael told him, and luke smiled against michael's shoulder.
"we're gonna have a family."
"you are my family."
