          Sorry for the huge delay

1 Month Later

Harvey had just turned about 3 months old and he was developing well. He was trying to mimic the sounds that Jonah and Cyrus made in conversation as well as rolling around a bit on the floor. He could now fully recognise and distinguish his dads from each other and even smiled at them when he saw them. That also meant that Harvey couldn't be left alone for very long or with other people.

"Heyy what's going on?" Cyrus asked Jonah as he walked through the front door with Charlie.

"We're rolling around on the floor together obviously." Jonah smirked and Harvey had a cute smile on his face.

"Look Dada's home." Jonah pointed to Cyrus and looked at Harvey. He just babbled a bit in reply before rolling around on his stomach again.

"Thank god he has two dads or else we would have to get him to say moma." Cyrus chuckled.

"Maybe we should have to start getting him to call you that." Jonah joked.

"Haha very funny, come on Charlie let's get you some food." He replied and went to the kitchen to fill up Charlie's bowl.

"Are we gonna try and feed him now?" Cyrus continued.

"This is one of my best shirts are you kidding me."

"I feel like there's two babies in this house, come on." Cyrus said and went to get some food for Harvey. Jonah picked the boy up causing him to giggle and put him into the high chair.

"Now you listen to me," Jonah pointed to Harvey. He replied by grabbing Jonah's finger and putting it in his mouth.

"I feel like your not taking this serious." Jonah said, tried to keep a straight face but failed.

"You get any food on this shirt, and I will be having stern words with you young man." Jonah finished and took his finger away. Harvey just smiled which Jonah couldn't handle.

"CYRUS?" He shouted.

"Yes, and I'm right here you know." Cyrus replied coming next to him.

"Oh yeah, well how did we manage to have such a beautiful son?" He asked. Before Cyrus could say anything Harvey started kicking his feet and smiling brighter than before.

"I don't want him to grow up." Cyrus smiled and opened the baby food. Jonah cracked his neck and prepared himself for the worst.

"Here comes the airplane!" Cyrus said as he brought the spoon towards Harvey's mouth. He took it in and looked like he enjoyed it for about 2 seconds causing Jonah to be hopeful. Unfortunately he then spat it out causing Jonah to nearly scream when he looked down. Cyrus just started laughing badly.

"I promise you Cy, he understands us and now he's ruined my favourite shirt." Jonah scowled.

"Don't be a baby." Cyrus teased.

"Well I'll leave you to that task whilst I change my shirt." Jonah replied as he took his shirt off. He put it in the wash and headed upstairs to get a new one.

"Your dad is a bit stupid isn't he?" Cyrus whispered to Harvey. He started giggling and kicking his feet and hands.

                   5 Months Old

In the two months since 3 months old, Harvey could now sit up on his own and could track objects in the room perfectly as well as using his hands well. He started pulling on Cyrus and Jonah's hair when having cuddles as well. Jonah was back at work again and doing late nights. As he was driving home he thought about her. His nightmares were still there but not as frequent as before. Harvey had been a good distraction for him since he could take his mind off of it. However no matter what anyone said, he still blamed Amber and every single day he felt more and more like he should do something.
