Senshi POV: Age - 53
I take the boys to a restaurant to speak and eat and the first thing I notice as we eat is the rings on their fingers. At first I thought it was two young guys being way too horny and out of control but as I kept watching them it became clear that they're together and that they're relationship is serious. We take our time eating and as I'm done I clear my throat and ask.
-So, how long have you been together?
A & Santi-Five years.
They share a look before they turn back to me smiling.
A-We met for the very first time five years ago.
Santi-Two as a couple.
-About the same time you have been working. Do you work together?
Santi-Yes dad.
-Are you considering moving to live together? Not that is going to make that big of a difference. You practically already live together.
Santi-Dad.
-Is the truth.
I lean in, my elbows on the table and so I ask him.
-I want to know what are your plans and/or intentions towards Santi?
Santi-Don't answer that.
A-Is alright. I can handle this.
I wait patiently and he gives the question some deep thought.
A-My intentions with him. Well, I intend on living a happy life with him. I want to build our future together with him.
He smiles up at Santiago and he just makes a face at him before he turns back at me.
A-That's why I want to ask for your blessing on our engagement.
I sigh and so I sit back and I slide my hands on the table. They understand the message and they grab my hands.
-You look good together and you look happy as well. I have no reason to deny you my blessing.
I let go of Santiago's hand and I reach out for his face.
-As long as you're happy, healthy and good. You can have my blessing.
Santi-I got all three of those covered and done.
I smile and so I turn to his boyfriend Adam.
-As for you, don't just make him happy but be happy, together.
I let go of the both of them and I stand up.
-Take your time to catch up.
I go to the car and I sigh with a mix of feelings. My son, he's grown too quickly and I couldn't be prouder but I still cry as he will go away to start his own family. The only thing that soothes me is the fact that even though he doesn't needs me anymore he does want me in his life. He's not my little boy anymore but that's alright. I sigh and turning on the CD I start writing on my phone just while I wait.

Three years later
Koray POV: Age - 32
I look at my wife as she tosses and turns on the bed, on her sleep. Being pregnant makes comfort hard to find. I sigh and hearing the door open I see how our pet dog looks inside curious. I call him over and he comes resting his head on my lap, I take the cue and scratch his ears gently.
-You can't sleep either.
He yawns and he looks at me licking my fingers for a moment before he let's me keep scratching his ears.
-Come up here.
He perks up looking at me for a second before he jumps on the couch and he lies almost completely on me. I keep him with me as I keep watching my wife sleeping and eventually both me and my pet dog fall asleep.
The next day I wake up alone and covered with a blanket. I sit up and grabbing my things I turn to get ready for the day but I find wait as the shower is already busy. I knock on the door as I call her out.
-Jess.
It takes her a while to answer.
J-Morning sleepyhead.
She draws the curtain to look at me.
J-You still look sleepy.
-How is Solange?
J-Dressed, fed and guarded and playing in her room with her toys and the dog.
-You cooked breakfast?
J-Just a simple boiled eggs.
-You should have woken me to do everything.
J-It was simple and I could do it, besides, you looked tired and so at peace.
-I'm still going to do it and you know where I'm going to start helping.
J-No but I suspect. Where will you start helping?
-I'll help you shower.
J-Don't make me wait too long.
She goes back in the shower and laughing I get undressed and together in the shower with her. Our shower is very big but we get close together.
-How do you feel?
J-Good. I'm scared that I get any kind of accident. That's why I'm trying to be as careful and extra careful as I can.
-Nothing will happen. I can assure you that. You have nothing to fear.
J-I know but I'm feeling just very sensitive, sensible. I hate my own mood changes.
-Really? I like them. Is fun, amusing and I really love that. I find it adorable.
J-You big fool.
-Your fool.
She laughs and helping her shower I stop often on her belly but it seems I'm always late until at one point I stay there longer and I laugh as I feel our baby kicking.
-She kicked me.
I feel her holding my face and I lean into her hand.
J-She loves you already.
-She loves you too. I want to hold her in my arms.
J-She wants to go shopping and I want to spend our day relaxed together as a family.
-Alright but let's shower first, get dressed, eat and then go.
She nods and with a gentle kiss we keep getting ready for our day.

Aibek POV: Age - 31
I look at my sons as they play together in the garden. The five year old twins Marik and Melik are helping their one year old brother Yahir with his games and toys. They are such good brothers towards each other and I'm glad. I look down the hallway and I see how my wife bids farewell to a customer. I smile and being curious I stand and go towards her. I'm glad to see the store currently empty. She smiles brightly as she sees me.
T-Will you come here or do I go to you?
-Oh Tamara.
I go to her wrapping my arms around her loosely.
-I love you so much.
T-I love you too.
I press our bodies tighter together cornering her against the desk with my own body and I speak on her ear.
-Would you like that?
T-Yes. I would also like another kid.
I laugh and growl gently before I step back and away from her.
-Soon my love. When the time is right.
T-I know. Can you cook me something, I'm hungry.
-Sure. Anything specific or wathever is fine.
T-Wathever that is quick to make.
-Hungry or thirsty?
T-Both.
-I'll be right back.
With that I kiss her quickly on the cheek and so I leave to make her snack. The kids are still playing safely together and I check constantly to make sure they're staying safe.
I make her a small cheesecake and a oreo milkshake as well and so I go back with her food to get it to her. I find her with a couple and I let her finish to give her the food.
-Eat and enjoy. I'll take over work.
T-Thanks love.
We share a quick kiss and she goes back to eat inside and I take over the store for the rest of the day.

Santiago POV: Age - 23
I am at the doctor with my husband Adam and we are having a moment since our attempts, all of them, to have children have failed. The doctor waits patiently.
-Doctor, is there any way to know and find out what the problem is?
?-We actually started searching that reason since the first test and it was hard, very hard, but we did found what the problem is.
A-And what's the problem?
The doctor looks at each of us before he speaks.
?-Although now we advanced for same sex couples to have kids of their own, both blood we do know a simple factor stays relatively the same. We need both eggs or, in your case, sperms to both be fertile to procreate and have a child.
A-Are you seriously implying one of us is sterile?
?-Unfortunately is a fact. We know who if you want me to tell you.
-Adan. We have to know so we can proceed.
A-I know but I never considered this to happen, not to us at least. Just tell us already. Plain and simple, just blurt it out.
-Doctor.
?-Well, the results show that, I'm not sure how to put this simple but, ahem, is Adam's sperm that's sterile, unable to have kids.
I hear him curse on his breath but before I can do or say anything he storms out of the doctor's office. I get up and I act as quickly as I can.
-I will send you the check but I have to go to him. Sorry about it and thanks for the information.
He only nods and so I go and I manage to see how Adam disappears inside of the emergency stairs. I go towards there and as I go in the stairs I see him sitting on the bottom step of the stairs already crying. I kneel in front of him and he just hides his face from me but I make him keep looking at me.
-Hey. There are still options.
A-I know but I really didn't expect that of myself. I lived a healthy life, no drugs or alcohol, no steroids either. Nothing so, why?
-I don't know but I do know that I can have a kid for you.
A-And I will love it the same as if it would have been my own but I would have preferred and liked if it had a bit of me too.
-It will have a part of me.
A-I know but it will have nothing from me.
-Of course not. It will have your love, your education, your attention.
A-Is still hard that it won't have my blood.
-Do you want to go home for the day?
A-We have to start thinking about the next step. Because I still want to have kids with you.
-I know. I want that too but we have had an exhausting day. Let's sleep on it and tomorrow we will have better judgment to make a better decision on it.
A-You really have a sharp and very persuasive silver tongue.
-Joking again, that's a good sign.
A-I really need to rest. My mind at least so I can use it efficiently tomorrow.
-I know exactly how to put your mind to rest.
I hold his face with both hands cleaning his tears away before kissing him.
-Let's go home babe.
A-Let's go home.
I help him get up and so we go home.
We arrive at home early and we undress to sleep but we end up having a wild and passionate night before we actually do go to sleep.

The next morning as I wake up I groan as I turn over. I call him out when I find myself alone in the bed.
-Adan?
A-You're awake. Good, I found a lot of options for you to choose from.
He speaks so fast and he starts showing me all of these things on his computer so eagerly that my sleepy brain can't keep up with him.
-Hey hey hey, easy, calm down. Slowly so I can understand.
He takes deep breaths to calm down before he speaks clearly trying to avoid getting too excited.
A-I was up all morning looking for suitable options and I have found a few good ones.
He explains everything to me and when he's done I speak softly.
-I can't get any of them laid. You know that and for several reasons.
A-They won't get laid, it will be like artificial insemination.
-You really want to do this right now.
A-Maybe not right now now but soon.
-We will double check everything, no illnesses, mental health and everything else.
A-I checked that and these are all the healthy ones. I discarded the sick ones already and with this one I also checked something else. Can you tell what it is?
-They are blonde blue eyes like you.
A-Yes but these are the ones that have similar tastes to me, personality, same blood type and stuff like that. Is a way for them to have a similarity with me or at least I can have some peace with that about my problem.
-I get it. Let's get dressed, contact the ladies and ask the doctor about it. Ask for professional advice.
A-Got it. I love you so much.
I laugh as he covers me in kisses before he leaves and so we both get ready for our day.
