Koril felt like his heart was going to burst right out of his chest. Incomprehensible joy and fear and everything in-between did a fierce ballet in his mind. He looked over the pages again, and again, and again. He knew the papers would be worn right through by the time the appointment came in a week. He had no intention of letting it out of his sight! Frankly, his parents would be lucky to see the papers without him keeping a hold on a corner!
A little one just for them... "Mama and Papa probably have a few things left over from when Ari and Oly were babies, so it shouldn't be too bad to find what we'll need." He hesitated a moment before shrugging. "I.. I really don't know. I.. kinda hope so." He bit his lip bashfully. It was intimidating to think about, but what a delight it would be to get them home as quickly as possible.

Spirits how he wished he could see those pages. How gratifying must it be to see in ink that all their hard work and fussing had paid off? With how often his stomach was flipping Sol felt like he could be sick at any minute! Which, admittedly, brought up a new topic…
“What do you want them to call you? It’s probably not an issue in your house, but in my family having two Papa’s would have been confusing. It’s why we call Callum Papa and Nimueh is Baba.” Spirits, someone was going to look up to them as fathers and call them names. It was as terrifying as it was awe inspiring. Little hands reaching up to hold his, asking him for cuddles and falling asleep in his arms…
He wasn’t going to survive the week.
“Even if they don’t, we could always buy the basics.” Children in general didn’t need a lot to be happy and well cared for, but the children’s home may see otherwise.

Koril's eyes widened, his hand rising to brush his hair back from his face. "Call me? Oh gosh, I don't know.. I didn't even think about that. Oh, we need to call them something, too!" Oh gosh, there was suddenly so much to think about. Well, there had already been a lot to think about, but now it seemed like a whole new pile of thinking to do!
Gasping in another breath, he reached up to cup along Sol's jaw and pulled him down for a full kiss. "There's time to think," he murmured between kisses, "but later..." He wanted to savor this...

“If they don’t already have a name. We don’t even know how old they are.” He hadn’t specified an age range that they were looking so unless Koril had told her something it was a variable they hadn’t really crossed yet. Would the child be as receptive to two hybrid parents if they were eight summers as opposed to an infant? The ‘what ifs’ were still there, but now that they were given a shot, he was more confident than ever.
Sol hadn’t been expecting the full kiss, but he wasn’t opposed to it either. He let one of his hands wrap around to the small of Koril’s back, pulling the other man close while the other massaged the base of his ear. “From this point forward it’s not just the two of us anymore.”

There were so many variables behind them, yet still so many more ahead. Everything he had ever wanted was about to come true. Part of him was afraid to let himself believe it, but the other part was hugging tightly to that hope and excitement. And then there was telling the family! It was a wave that he honestly could not wait to ride.
Well, he could wait a tiny bit... He carefully folded the letter back up into the envelope so that he could focus on his husband. He hummed contently with the ear rub, hugging against Sol much more affectionately rather than the stability grip he'd been clenched in earlier. "Let's enjoy just the two of us just a little bit longer~"
[FIN!]
