Hand in Hand

[Ohm POV]

They didn't even have to knock on the door before Brock opened it, a warm smile on his face as he greeted the both of them, eagerly welcoming them into his home.

"Brian's just finishing up dinner, but it'll be another hour, is that okay?"

Before he could answer though, Luke beat him to it "Don't worry about it, Brock, we'll wait all day if need be" Brock gave them a small smile in response before heading into the kitchen to get them both some drinks, however, they didn't do much else before a small figure popped its head around the doorway, quickly bounding over to them.

"Unca Ry! Unca Ry!" He was quick to pick up the small child, placing him on his hip, wide smile on his face as he felt small arms wrap around him in a hug.

"Hey Jakey, you helping daddy with dinner?" The small boy nodded furiously at which he only laughed "You gonna make some of your famous brownies for pudding?"

"YEAH!" he tried not to wince at the shout in his ear, but he now had to try his best to keep a hold of the small boy as he started bouncing around in his arms "Daddy's gonna add hazelnuts, he says it's gonna be just like nutell-nutellna!"

"I can't wait to try them then" He shot the kid a wide smile before the boy peered around him to catch Luke sat on the couch, watching them both with an affectionate look in his eyes.

"Unca Luke!" He felt Jake start to make grabby hands towards his mate, start to move around vigorously in an effort to make his way to the older man.

"Unca Luke? I don't see him anywhere" He pretended to look around in front of him, earning a giggle from the small child who then started to point behind him towards Luke.

"There he is, look"

"Nope, still don't see him"

"He's there, he's behind you" He feigned ignorance for another moment before he turned behind him, shooting a shy smile to Luke before announcing his victory.

"Oh, there's Unca Luke, why didn't you tell me?" Jake laughed a little before resuming his efforts to say hello to the taller man. He gently placed the boy down before he proceeded to jump up onto the couch, or more specifically on top of Luke who pretended to be hurt by the motion.

He didn't pay attention to much that was said between them, instead content to watch the scene before him, a fond look on his face as he tried to ignore the stirrings of his own feelings telling him that he couldn't have this.

He doesn't know how long it had been before Brock came to save Luke from the tickle fight he was currently losing, telling Jake that he needed to go make his brownies before Brian ate all of the chocolate.

"You two are really good with him you know, he's so excited to hear when you guys are coming round"

"He's a good kid, you and Brian must be proud" A soft smile crossed Brocks' face at the compliment, looking wistfully back towards the kitchen where his family were.

"We are, he's everything to us" He could sense a slight bit of hesitation from the younger man as if he was weighing out a decision in his head but before he could ask, Brock came out with his answer. "We're actually going to have another baby, I'm pregnant"

Both he and Luke were quick to congratulate the other man, and despite being over the moon for his friend he couldn't help but feel the twist in his gut at the news. He'd always wanted kids, always hoped to have his own pups and since being mated to Luke that feeling had only increased tenfold, however, the Doctors' words a few years ago still haunted him. He was infertile, or at least his chances were so low he may as well be considered infertile.
