Troyes stomach turned to butterflies when he heard the GPS say "turn right, and then the destination is on the left." He knows Jacob is a normal person. But he can't help but be beyond nervous to meet him. Troye purposely takes a wrong turn so he could calm down for a few more seconds.

Finn started whining, very loudly, which forced Troye to turn around and go the correct way because he needs to get Finn out of the car and feed him.

Jacobs neighborhood is very quiet, it's your typical suburban neighborhood. Lots of houses that all look very similar, many trees and stop signs. Easy to get lost in the streets that all seem to wind together.

"Okay buddy we're almost there" Troye cooed to Finn right before he pulled into he driveway. He put the car into park and turned off his lights. The butterflies intensified as he pulled out his phone to text Jacob.

Troye ☹: hey um I'm here, can I come to the door? I need to bring Finn in before anything else's, he's whining to be fed.

Jacob ☼ : oh my god I'm shaking. Yes come to the door, I'll help you with your things after we say hello!!!

"Okay bud lets go" Troye said with a shaky voice as he opened the car door, closed it, and then opened Finn's door.

"Hmmm do you want me to carry you or should I carry the whole car seat" Troye stalled, then decided to just carry the car seat so he could avoid disturbing the tired baby.

He shut the door with his empty hand, and slowly walked up to Jacobs door. He knocked about 4 times, kind off quietly but he was hoping it was good enough.

He heard a deadbolt being unlocked, and soon after, the door opened. Jacob stood there with a huge smile on his face, and then his hands covered his mouth as he saw Finn.

"Come in. Ohmygod this is crazy. Come here" Jacob says while shutting the door has Troye walks in and sets the seat on the floor.

Jacob wraps his arms around Troyes torso, and Troye wraps his arms around Jacobs neck. They stay like that for about a minute. Swaying back and forth.

Jacob felt something wet drop on his neck, he released from the hug and saw the tears were streaming from Troyes eyes.

"Oh honey no what's wrong why are you crying?" Jacob gasps as he cups Troyes face and wipes his tears and then brings him back into a hug.

"Everything has just been so stressful. I'm just glad I'm finally here" Troye says mumbles into Jacobs chest. Jacob rests his chin on Troyes curly hair and rubs his back.

Not long after this, Finn started fussing again. Which interrupted the both of them.

Troye lifted his head from the other boys chest and turned to Finn.

"His formula is in the car and his bottles and bibs and everything" Troye cried out, very obviously stressed.

"Hey hey hey, I have it all in here too. I'll take you to your room and you can rest. You deserve a break. I'll take care of him for a few hours." Jacob smiled, "we'll grab everything from the car in the morning okay?"

"I feel so bad. I didn't come here because I needed help caring for him. He's my son. I need to get over it. I'll do it Jay it's okay. I don't want you to feel obligated to care for him" Troye said crying even more.

"Troye I don't feel obligated to do anything, let me help. I WANT to help. You're exhausted, it's been a long few days. Now let me take you to your room, and I'll feed little man and you can get some sleep. And tomorrow we will talk about anything and everything okay?" Jacob said with kindness in his voice. Troye nodded and bent down to kiss Finn's cheek. Then he went and laid down.

"I've never had any experience with babies little man, and neither has your papa. But we're gonna try our best okay?" Jacob said to Finn as he fed him a bottle. "Take it easy on him, and me. He would give you the world if he could. And I would give you both the world if I could."
