Ruby was definitely JishJish's girl.

Whenever her JishJish was home, she wanted to snuggle with him, be held by him, get kissies from him, everything.

"JISHJISH!!!" She screamed as he came home from work, waddling up to him and hugging his legs tightly.

"Hi, RuRu!" He said with a smile, picking her up.

He found Tyler, kissing his lips. "Hi honey," he smiled.

"Hi," Tyler replied, kissing him back. He sounded exhausted.

"How was your day?" Josh asked, gently rubbing his back.

"Fine," he answered, continuing to make dinner.

"You sure?" Josh asked, his eyebrow raised.

Tyler nodded, putting everything on plates. "Ruby wants you to take her out somewhere tonight."

"But it's Wednesday..." Josh said.

"It's fine," Tyler said.

"Baby..."

"It's fine. She wants to be taken out, so take her out."

Josh knew Wednesday nights were special to Tyler. It was the one night a week they spent the whole night together, just focused on each other.

He also knew Ruby could be a lot to handle when just Tyler was with her. She was a sweet baby, but she would pretty much always cry whenever Josh was at work and she was just with Tyler.

It was hard enough taking care of a two and a half year old, and it only got harder when she obviously favored one parent over the other.

And that was really hard for Tyler. It made him think he was a bad parent. But Josh insisted he was the best dad Ruby could ever have, and he meant it. He was an amazing father, just Ruby liked Josh more for whatever reason.

They ate dinner, Josh talking to Tyler but only receiving one-worded answers.

Ruby sat in Josh's lap, smiling and giggling as she played with his hair.

"Baby, I don't think we should skip tonight," Josh said. He knew Tyler had been battling with depression, and the only time he really saw him smile was during their time alone together.

"Ruby, where do you want daddy to take you?" Tyler asked her.

"ICE CREAM!!"

Josh sighed. "Ok. We'll go get ice cream, but TyTy's coming too."

"Just daddy," Ruby said.

"I've got some stuff I need to do," Tyler lied. "You guys go."

Josh sighed again, picking Ruby up and carrying her to Tyler. He kissed his lips deeply. "We're gonna have fun when I get back. Don't get too tired."

Tyler shrugged, kissing Ruby's cheek before Josh took her to the car and went to the ice cream place.

Ruby wasn't old enough to really hold a conversation, so the two just kind of sat in the car eating their ice creams, Ruby in her baby car seat in the back while Josh stayed in the driver's seat.

She giggled and squealed happily, just excited to be with her daddy.

"Do you love TyTy, Ruby?" He asked.

"Ya."

"You should tell him you love him," he said. "He's sad."

"Why TyTy sad?"

"He doesn't think you love him."

"Hm," she hummed, finishing her ice cream.

They headed back home, Ruby informing Josh she wanted to watch a movie with him.

"Tomorrow night, Ruby," he said as she put her in her crib. "TyTy and I are doing something tonight."

Ruby just nodded, her pacifier in her mouth as she lied down.

"G'night, sweetheart," he sighed, kissing her forehead. "I love you."

He then headed out of her room and went to find Tyler in bed, watching TV.

"Hi baby," he said.

"Hi," Tyler said quietly.

Josh walked up to him and held his hands out. Tyler took them, looking up at him.

"C'mon," Josh said with a grin. "We're going on a date."

"It's 8 pm..." said softly.

"So? Jenna's coming over to watch Ruby. C'mon," Josh said.

Tyler got up, Josh pulling him in for a deep kiss. "We're gonna have so much fun, ok? I promise."

Tyler nodded, putting on shoes and getting ready.

Jenna arrived and the boys left, Tyler holding Josh's hand as they walked out the door.

"Where're we gonna go?" He asked quietly.

"We, my dear, are gonna go have a dessert picnic at the dock," Josh grinned, pulling into the target parking lot. "Come help me pick out what desserts we should take."

Tyler nodded, holding one of Josh's hands with both of his.

"What's something you've wanted for soooooo long but haven't had?" Josh asked as they walked around.

Tyler shrugged.

"Cookies? Cupcakes? Donuts?"

Again, Tyler shrugged. "What do you want?"

"Tonight's about you, baby. We're getting whatever you want," Josh said.

Tyler had a way of always making everything about Josh or Ruby and never about himself. He was just so incredibly selfless.

"I-I don't know."

Josh looked at him, Tyler looking up at him. Josh wrapped his arms around him, hugging him tightly.

"I know things are hard right now, baby," he said. "But you're gonna feel so much better so soon. I just know it."

Tyler sniffled, hugging Josh back tightly.

Neither of them cared that they were hugging in the middle of Target and people were looking. Josh was making Tyler feel safe, and that's all that mattered.

They got some sweets eventually, heading to the lake and setting everything up on the dock. Nobody was ever there, so they were the only ones as usual.

Tyler sat a weird distance from Josh, which was abnormal.

Josh dragged him into his lap, kissing his forehead. "That's better."

Tyler didn't say anything, instead just simply sitting there.

"Do you wanna talk?" Josh asked, softly running his fingers through Tyler's hair.

Tyler shrugged, hugging Josh tightly as he sat in his lap.

"She loves you," Josh said, rubbing his back softly. "And I love you. I love you more than anything in the whole world. But you know that. I've told you that since day one."

Tyler hugged his neck tightly, kissing it softly.

Then, Josh got an idea.

"Why don't we make love?"

"H-here?" Tyler asked.

Josh nodded.

"We're in public," he said softly.

"We can be as loud as we want," Josh said. "Nobody even knows this place exists."

"Still," Tyler said.

"Then let's go to the Jeep," Josh said.

"Ok," Tyler said quietly.

They headed to Josh's Jeep, getting in the back and Josh starting to take off his clothes, Tyler just sitting and watching.

"Are you not...?" Josh asked.

"O-oh," Tyler said, starting to take his shirt off.

And soon, they were both just sitting there in their boxers, Tyler playing with his shoelaces.

"Baby?" Josh said softly.

"H-huh?" Tyler asked, looking up. "O-oh. S-sorry."

"It's ok, honey," Josh said. He honestly just wanted Tyler to do whatever made him happy, even if it wasn't sex. "Wanna come sit by me?"

Tyler nodded, crawling over so he was next to Josh.

Josh leaned over and gently cupped his cheek, kissing his lips softly.

To his surprised, Tyler kissed back.

He pulled him into his lap, deepening the kiss and hugging him tightly.

"Let me make love to you, baby," he mumbled against his lips, looking into Tyler's eyes.

Tyler nodded, getting off his lap and allowing Josh to get on top, taking off both their boxers.

They made love, Josh kissing all over his chest and lips, telling him how beautiful he was and how much he loved him.

They both came, Tyler lying on top of Josh afterward, wanting to be as close to him as possible.

"I love you," Josh said.

"I love you too," Tyler replied.

Josh looked down at him, running his fingers through his hair. He grinned widely.

"You're smilin', TyTy," he said. "You're a smilin' TyJo."

Tyler smiled shyly and blushed, leaning upward and kissing his lips.

Josh grinned and pulled a blanket he had in there over them, snuggling with him with a big grin on his face.

"I remember the first time we had sex in my Jeep," Josh chuckled.

"We were 17, you had just gotten your first tattoo, and you told me you were gonna marry me some day," Tyler giggled.

That was the most he'd heard Tyler speak in weeks.

It made Josh smile even more.

"It was only our third time ever," Tyler said. "The first time we were in my room and the second time we were in yours. And I'm pretty sure your mom heard us because I was moaning 'oh, Joshua' really loudly. I still do."

Josh laughed and kissed Tyler's head.

"And then five years later we got engaged and I cried on your couch all night because I was so excited," Tyler said. "And a year after that we got married and sat in our hotel room on our wedding night eating pizza naked."

"That was definitely the best wedding night ever," Josh grinned.

"And after our first fight we took a shower together and you screamed because the water was too hot," Tyler giggled.

"I still don't know how you can shower with it that hot," Josh said. "It's like you're being burned alive."

"We should shower together when we get home," Tyler said.

Josh grinned widely. Tyler hadn't proposed them doing something like that since they got Ruby. "O-ok."

So they headed home, sound exactly as planned.

***

A few days later, it was Valentine's Day.

Josh and Tyler had plans to actually go on a little trip for a few nights and Jenna was coming over to watch Ruby.

"Valentine, dada?" Ruby asked, waddling up to Tyler and giving him a piece of paper she had decorated.

"That's very nice, Ruby," he said, giving it back to her. "I'm sure JishJish will love it."

Ruby furrowed her eyebrows and handed him the paper again. "Valentine, dada."

"Yes, sweetheart. Daddy will love the valentine you made him."

"VALENTINE DADA!" She screamed.

"O-oh! Y-you want me to be y-your valentine?"

Ruby smiled and nodded.

Tyler smiled shyly, blushing. "RuRu..." he said softly, picking her up and hugging her tightly. "Thank you."

Ruby smiled and hugged her TyTy back. "I love youuuuuu," she hummed with a goofy grin.

"I love you too, goofy girl," Tyler giggled, kissing her nose.

A few minutes later, Josh walked in from work with a big bouquet of roses for Tyler and a small box of chocolates for Ruby.

"There's my forever valentine," he grinned, kissing Tyler's lips deeply.

Tyler felt special being both his family members' valentine. He was genuinely happy.

"You look absolutely stunning, by the way," Josh smiled.

"Thank you, Joshua," he blushed with a smile.

"Hi, RuRu," Josh grinned, holding her in his arms. "You're my lil mini valentine."

Ruby smiled widely, drooling all over herself as she held the box of chocolates. She did that when she was excited.

Jenna came over about an hour later. The boys kissed Ruby bye bye and headed to the airport.

They were beyond excited.

Especially Tyler.
