Tom never got along with Tord, so when the man left for Norway, he was happy. However he never expected the man to return. Much less return with a child.

Tord apparently had gone off and gotten some girl pregnant. After deciding that he would settle down with her, she left him. Just packed her bags and left in the night. Tom couldn't blame her, he wouldn't want to wake up to that ugly mug every morning.

Yet, some how this child had changed him. It was a baby girl that he called Honey. Tom couldn't tell if it was a nickname or her actual name. Tord has become more compassionate. It was like night and day.

Somehow Tord was more likable. So when Tord was in desperate search for a babysitter, Tom stepped up. Tom would never admit it, but he liked children. So the four year old girl was fun to watch. She was definitely a character.

Tord had a sweet spot for her. It wasn't exactly a good thing though, it would often leave him late for work. So when Tom handed him some hot coffee, he was so thankful.

"I want some!" Honey complained.

Tom took her from Tord. "Oh no, you don't. I have hot chocolate for you."

"Yay!!" Honey said. She look at her dad. "I've decided that Tom is also my dad, so you need to marry him."

Tord chocked on his coffee. Tom flushed. They both knew Honey didn't understand what she was telling them to do.

"Actually, Tom, Ive been meaning to talk to you though." Tord said hoarsely. His throat still hurting from the hot coffee. "You're so good with Honey and we seem to be getting along better, so.. would you like to be my boyfriend?"

Tom was taken back for a moment. What did he just ask of Tom? He had grown to like Tord better. That with his attractiveness. Tom had thought about being with the man, but somehow this was different. It was scary.

Honey looked at him with big puppy dog eyes. God how could he say no to her. He did love this child like she was his.

"Sure." He final said. Tord smiled and hugged Tom.

"Oh god, I'm so late! Bye baby. Bye Tom. Have a good day." He said quickly kissing both people on the head. He grabbed his jacket and left.

"Yay!! Dad!!" Honey said wrapping her arms around Tom's neck. Tom chuckled softly.

"Let's go play." He told her. She nodded excitedly.
