Here's a little short and sweet with Piper and fangirling Jack

-Pey

-----

Jack had become a nervous ball of anxiety for the past week, and as he sat on the steps of his front porch with his husband, Mark, all of his worries faded away. Jack subtly reached over and grasped Mark's hand tightly, lacing their fingers together. Mark gave his husband a small smile and squeezed his hand, Jack leaning his head on Mark's shoulder. 

The day had finally come that the couple had been waiting for over the past six months. The paperwork had finally been finished and approved by the DHS, the two men being told they could finally adopt a child. They were waiting for her to arrive and be dropped off by the DHS, nervousness still getting the best of Jack. 

They didn't know that much about her, really. They knew she was a four year old girl, and as of today, her name is Piper Marie Fischbach. The two didn't want to know much about her, as they wanted to hear from her themselves. The couple wanted to know her likes and dislikes, how her voice sounded, if she had dimples when she smiled. Just anything about her. Mark and Jack had been told she knew her parents were two men, but the two feared since she was so young she wouldn't understand. And as she got older, she would, and she would be told things about gays and...

But that was a bridge to be crossed when the time came. Right now, Mark and Jack just relaxed in each others presence, waiting for that shiny car to pull up. 

"You alright, love?" Mark asked, squeezing Jack's hand again.

"Yeah." Jack said, leaning up and kissing Mark's cheek, letting his lips linger. "I'm just nervous is all." 

"Me too." Mark admitted, a faint blush creeping on his cheeks. "Do you think she'll like us?"

Jack chuckled, leaning his head back on Mark's shoulder. "Who wouldn't like us?" Jack asked jokingly. "I mean, we're nearly 30 year old men who play video games for a living."

"Hey!" Mark exclaimed, laughing along with his lover. "I may be 29 but you don't have to rub it in!" 

"Oh," Jack said, lifting his head up and pecking Mark's lips, "you know I love you, ya big doof."

Mark leaned in and passionately kissed his husbands lips, pulling away after a moment. "I love you too."

The two sat in silence for a bit longer, Mark occasionally kissing Jack's cheek. About half an hour, a shiny, black corvette pulled up on the driveway, Jack immediately snapping his head up. The car skidded to a stop, the lights flashing off as the silhouette in the front took the keys out of the ignition. A woman in a white blazer and pencil skirt stepped out of the car, her black hair slicked back into a ponytail. She walked up to the driveway towards Mark and Jack, both of them standing to greet her.

"Hi!" she chirped, sending the men a gentle smile. "I'm Diana Mal with DHS." she reached out a hand and Mark took it, shaking it gently. The two released and she did the same with Jack, him smiling softly. 

"Mark Fischbach." Mark said. "This is my husband, Sean." 

"It's nice to meet you both." she said. "I'm sure you would like to meet Piper, wouldn't you?"

"Yes." Jack said, not missing a beat. Mark chuckled and so did Diana, both of the men following her as she walked back over to the car. The couple stood a few feet being Diana on the grass, watching as she opened the door.

"Piper, sweetie?" she asked. "Would you like to meet your new parents?" a quiet 'yes please' followed and Diana stepped back, her hand grabbing a much smaller one as a little girl stepped out of the car. Her small shoes hit the cement with a tiny click, her eyes trained on the ground as she steadied herself. When she felt herself steady she looked up at Mark, her eyes being even bluer than Jack's. 

"Hi." she said, her small voice wavering. Jack could see her grip tighten on Diana's hand.

"Hi, sweet girl." Mark said softly, crouching down to her level. A small smile caught Piper's features, the first thing Jack noticing was her small dimples.

Jack swore his heart just grew ten sizes. 

"I'm Mark," Mark said, gently smiling at her, "and this is my husband, Sean. But you can call him Jack." Mark held out his large hand at Piper's torso level, and she took her free hand and gently grasped Mark's. Mark shook her hand she gently as possible, and Piper giggled and they pulled away. 

"Hi, Mr. Jack." Piper said, looking at Jack. He noticed how blue her eyes were, and he swore his heart swelled even more. Jack crouched down as well, smiling at his new daughter.

"What's your name, beautiful?" Jack asked. Piper giggled and combed a piece of hair behind her ear.

"Piper." she said. "Ms. Diana told me I'm Irish. Just like you!" Mark broke out into a small smile, Jack following along.

"Really?" Jack asked, a smile still present on his face. Piper nodded and grinned. "Wow! That's really cool!"

"Well, I'm not all Irish like you." Piper said, hr face becoming tinted pink. "Ms. Diana said I'm a quar... quart..."

"A quarter?" Jack asked, his cheeks hurting from smiling.

"That's the word!" Piper said, giving a little jump.

"Would you like to come inside, Piper?" Mark asked. Piper eagerly nodded, earning a laugh from Diana. Mark laughed and put his hands under Piper's arms, scooping her into his arms as he stood up and she squealed and giggled. Mark settled her just above his hip, her small legs wrapping around his waist as far as they could. Mark wrapped one arm around Piper's waist and she wrapped her's around Mark's neck, still giggling from the sudden action. Jack found it the cutest thing ever, and he quickly took out his phone and held it up to the two.

"Smile!" Jack chirped, watching as Mark and Piper turned their attention to him. Mark gave Jack a small smile, Piper grinning and flashing her teeth. Jack noticed she was missing her front one, and his heart grew for the third time. He pressed the button on his phone and captured the moment, turning off his phone and putting it in his pocket. Mark still held Piper as Diana walked to the trunk of the corvette, popping it open and pulling out a small, pink backpack. She handed it to Jack and smiled warmly, Jack returning the gesture. 

"Come on, you two!" Jack said, Mark coming over to him and kissing his cheek. Jack blushed as Mark pulled away, Piper only giggling as Mark rushed inside with her. 

"Would you like to come inside too?" Jack asked. Diana shook her head.

"I need to just say goodbye to Piper." she explained. "I don't want her freaking out if I suddenly leave." Jack nodded and the two headed inside, greeted by Piper's giggles.

After a goodbye to Diana and showing Piper her room, the three were in the kitchen. It was night now, and Mark was at the counter making coffee, Jack was sitting at the bar looking at comments on videos, and Piper was sitting next to Jack. She was glancing at the iPad from time to time, not understanding what exactly he was doing. 

"Do you like it here so far, Piper?" Mark asked, breaking the silence. 

"Yep!" Piper said. "I really like my room." 

"We hoped you would." Jack said sweetly, looking at Piper as he spoke. Piper smiled and yawned, her blue eyes closing as she did so. 

"Are you tired, baby girl?" Mark asked. He had been calling Piper nicknames all day, and Jack thought it was the cutest thing. 

"No..." Piper said, yawning again. Her eyes fluttered shut and she let them stay closed, Jack smiling softly at the sight. 

"Let's get you to bed, P." Jack said, setting his iPad down and picking up Piper as Mark did before. Piper buried her face in Jack's neck, here eyes still remaining closed. Jack carried her to room and tucked her in, Piper already being in her pajamas with her teeth brushed. Jack ran a hand through her hair and kissed her forehead, taking one more moment to admire her. 

"Sweet dreams, princess." Jack said, slipping out of Piper's room and closing the door behind him. Jack walked back into the kitchen to see Mark at the bar, two mugs of coffee siting in front of him. 

"She's a cutie." Mark said as Jack sat down, taking the mug into his hands. Mark leaned across the small counter and kissed Jack forehead, Jack smiling in response. 

"She sure is." Jack said, taking a sip of the warm drink. 

"She looks like our actual kid." Mark said, chuckling at the end. Jack laughed and looked at his husband.

"What?" Jack asked, unable to hold in his giggles.

"Like a fanfiction!" Mark said. "Like, where if you got pregnant and Piper was our kid!" 

"Oh my lord, Mark." Jack said, still giggling.

"Really though," Mark started, Jack ceasing his laughter, "she looks a lot like you."

"She doesn't really." Jack said, a blush creeping on his cheeks. 

"Oh please." Mark said. "Those bright blue eyes, that brown curly hair, her little smile..." Mark smiled as he trailed off, looking up at Jack. "She looks so much like you."

Jack pictured his little girl in his mind again, smiling as he realized Mark was right.

"She's a cutie though." Mark said. "I know where she gets it from."

Jack blushed as Mark kissed his forehead again, nuzzling his nose right after.

"Yeah." Jack said, pecking Mark's lips. "I am pretty cute."
