Jason and Shaun
Jason &
Shaun
Chapter 3m
Part 1
Tiny Hands
Shaun has
arrived home from work ahead of Jason.
He sits in the living room, becoming a magnet for the cats. As he sits there, his mind starts to wander. He starts missing Indiana. He gets up and grabs their memory book. He looks at a picture of the apartment. He first met Jason, and they went from
strangers to boyfriends. Then he turned
a few more pages and saw a photo of the woman who helped bring him and Jason
together. Ms. White was a beautiful woman who truly loved her sons, and they
loved her. Pictures of friends and their
adopted family fill his mind with sadness and happiness. While he misses Sarah
and family, he is happy to know that everyone is okay, but it doesn't change
the fact that he misses them. When he
gets to the page where the pictures of the newest edition of Sarah and Mark's
household are. He felt a mix of feelings
in his stomach. He wanted to reach out
to Sarah and see how the family is doing.
Seeing that baby is making Shaun's heart want a little one. He decides
that maybe now is the time to discuss baby-making with his husband.
***
After a while,
Shaun gets up and heads into the kitchen to start making dinner so they can
eat, and then they can sit back and talk after dinner. Jason comes home around 5:00 and follows the
sound of someone in the kitchen.
`Man, is
he hot. How did I get so lucky?'
Jason thinks
to himself as he moves closer to his husband.
He comes up behind Shaun and carefully wraps his arms around him.
"It's good
to be home where I belong."
Jason says
as he hugs Shaun. He breaks the hug and
then finds himself gazing at Shaun's ass. He reaches down and pinches it.
"Babe, maybe
you shouldn't do that while I'm cooking; the food might burn."
Shaun says
as he turns around and kisses Jason. His husband loves his kisses. Then it hits Shaun that he has something to
tell Jason to make him cry the happiest of tears.
"After
dinner, there is something that we need to talk about."
Shaun's
voice makes Jason melt a little bit. He couldn't tell if Shaun was happy or
sad. Shaun was going to ask his husband
to set the table, but he had already done it.
Instead, he moved the food to the table and filled their glasses.
"Supper is
on, Babe."
It doesn't
take Jason long to get to the table.
When Shaun cooks, it always comes from the heart, and it's usually a dish
that Jason and Shaun haven't tried before.
Tonight's meal comes from an old American cookbook, where the recipes
have been adjusted for the modern day.
Jason actually loved it, as did Shaun.
But now Shaun has to have the talk.
***
He walks
Jason to the living room. The guys sit
down together on the couch, and then Shaun takes Jason's hands and kisses him.
"Babe, we
have discussed having kids before, and we both agreed that we were not ready
for kids, and I think that maybe I'm prepared to sit down and figure it out.
Shaun tells
Jason, who cannot believe what he is hearing.
Jason has wanted to have this discussion for a long time. They both have been waiting for the other to
be ready. It's possible they both knew
Utah wasn't where they wanted to raise their kid, and while they both lived in
Indiana prior, they were not ready for little ones. Jason looks at his husband.
"Are you
sure? You don't need more time to think
about it?
Shaun can
see the happiness burning in his babe's eyes.
He doesn't want to wait any longer.
"Jason, I
don't need more time to think about it.
I know I want one or three little ones running around our house."
Jason knows
Shaun was brought up with the idea of having a family. He also knows that he's great with little
kids. This could work if he treats his kids with the love
he gives his nephews. Sadly, money is
involved in this, and this adventure is costly.
It's not as simple as how Sarah and Mark made their family. It's still an expansive ordeal, but Jason
knows they will plan much more to accomplish the same result.
"Shaun, I've
been thinking, and you can say no, but I want to have our kids. We can adopt if you want to, but I want a kid."
If only
things were that easy, but Shaun has wanted the same thing, so, at least for
now, they need to figure out how they will do this. They can sit down and discuss this, but
ultimately the true power of decision lies in the hands of the woman who
decides to carry their babies. The
problem is, how do you ask a friend to carry your child when they have
boyfriends, recently had kids, or are going to be married. Of course, if the boyfriends or the husband
are on board, none of that is a problem.
They can look into adopting if they can't go the surrogacy route. Though that child won't be their biological
child. I can promise you that they will
be loved as if they were.
"Is it too
early to tell people we want to add little feet to the family?"
Jason asks
as the cats once again want to play.
Shaun looks at the cats and smiles.
"I wonder
what they will think of us having a little one around?"
Shaun knows
what little kids do to animals, and neither of the cats have been raised around
kids, so it is a valid concern. Jason
knows their pets and knows that Sasha will be the more patient of the two cats,
and the other cat will more than likely hide once the crawling commences. Until that point, both cats will be inquisitive
about the new arrivals. Once kids learn
how to play nicely with the cats, they'll be best buddies with kids. He can imagine waking up and finding at least
one of the cats in the crib with the baby.
"Oh...I didn't
answer your question. No, I don't think it's too early to tell people. A thousand questions still need to be
answered, but I think talking with others might help answer some of those
questions, and we don't have to have all of them answered tonight. Know, can I just say how handsome you are?"
Shaun
answers his husband's question. He can
be totally serious and engaged in a conversation and still find some way to
flirt with Jason, which is a fantastic gift.
"Who do we
ask? Or do we contact an organization to
help us find a surrogate?"
Jason asks
as Shaun leans in to kiss him.
"Babe! Are
we really going to cuddle or have this conversation?"
Jason is a
little frustrated with Shaun at the moment.
At least he knows that his man loves him.
"Do we want
to discuss names?"
The answer
isn't what Shaun wants to hear, but he's okay with it.
"I want to
wait on the names. We can name the kids
after our brothers or dads, but I want to think about that."
He won't
take that away from Jason, so he'll wait for the whole name game.
`If Shaun
is so eager to cuddle, maybe, it's time to let it happen.'
"Is your
head running a mile a minute too?"
Jason asks
his husband. He knows his mind is
running circles around him. It could use
a bit of a break.
"It is running
pretty quickly."
Jason
cuddles up next to him.
"I could use
a little bit of cuddle action, though."
Jason tells
Shaun, and the guys cuddle up next to each other.
***
The guys
spend an hour cuddling next to each other, and when Jason needs to get some
work done, Shaun receives a pencil and heads out to grab a notebook. Holding an
empty notebook, he sits at the kitchen table and starts writing what they discussed
and decided. He also puts down questions that pop up in his mind. It isn't long before the page is filled up. He then puts each question at the top of a
page. He manages to fill up get seven
questions. Then the phone rings, and
Shaun lets Jason answer the phone.
***
The phone
rings, and Jason answers it. It's
Katrina. She calls about once a week to
check on the guys and ensures everything is good.
"How is
everything going?"
Katrina
asked her friend.
"Good, Shaun
surprised me tonight. We are talking about starting a family."
She is
surprised to hear the news. She's happy
for the guys, though.
"Awesome,
Jason!"
Jason smiles
even though she cannot see it, and the questions form in her mind. He may not have all the answers, but he wants
to respond to her.
"Have you
guys decided on surrogacy or adoption?"
She is
curious to hear what their decision is as far as adding a child to the
family. He starts putting his thoughts
on the subjects.
"We would
like to go with a surrogate, but we would like it to be someone in our friend
or family circle. We have not picked her
yet."
She thinks
that she might want to be the surrogate.
Katrina doesn't want to say yes, without speaking with her boyfriend.
"Don't get
excited yet, but I wouldn't mind stepping in and being your surrogate, but I
need to speak with my boyfriend before I give you the go-ahead from me."
Jason
totally gets it. He would want Shaun to
speak with him before making a massive decision like this. He's grateful for her to be this kind
offering herself to them like this.
"Thank you,
Katrina!"
She was glad
to hear that Jason was thankful to her, and she feels like there is a smile on
his face.
"You're
welcome, Jason. I'll let Shaun and you
know when I hear from my boyfriend."
Jason is
thankful for his friend. He loves his
friends. He wonders what Shaun will
think of Katrina's offer. He loves it.
***
Shaun joins
Jason in the living room. Jason is all smiles as his husband sits down next to
him. Shaun knows that he's hiding
something. He's not sure what he's
hiding, but he feels like it's about to come spilling out.
"Shaun, I
just got off the phone with Katrina, and you will not believe what she told me."
Shaun stares
at hubby and shrugs his shoulders.
"She said
she would consider being our surrogate if her boyfriend is okay with it."
Those words
put a smile on Shaun's face. He doesn't
know what the boyfriend will say when his girlfriend tells him she wants to be
the surrogate to two gay guys that her aunt treated like sons. He wonders how he would react if he were
straight and his girlfriend came to him with the idea of being a surrogate.
"That is
awesome, Babe! Wouldn't it be cool if he
gave the okay to do it?"
Shaun asks Jason, who really doesn't need to
answer that question. He can see the
smile on his babe's face, which is everything now.
"I don't
know about you, Shaun, but I want something to celebrate."
He isn't sure
they should celebrate Katrina's willingness to carry their baby or babies. Still, it would be nice if she could call the
baby.
***
Jason
eventually agrees with Shaun that maybe it's best to not celebrate
tonight. Celebrating may have helped
burn off some of that energy that Jason feels inside of him. Instead, he gets on the phone and makes
another phone call. He calls out to
Indiana. He's hoping to catch someone at
home.
"Hey Jason,
what's going on?"
Jason is
glowing. He can barely get the words to
the tip of his tongue.
"Sarah, I
have some things to tell you. It's so
cool. When I came home, Shaun caught me off guard and announced he was ready to
have kids. We really want to try the surrogate
route, but the best thing is that one of our friends said she might be our
surrogate. We don't know what to think."
Sarah could not
believe they didn't call her sooner.
Also, why didn't they call her sooner?
"You know,
you could have asked me?"
She sounds a
little hurt, but he stands by their decision regarding Sarah providing
surrogacy for them.
"Your name
did come up, but we agreed it was too soon after the birth of your little one
to expect you to carry our kiddos."
Sarah tails
back her response when she hears the reasoning behind them not asking her to be
the surrogate. She is okay with their
decision.
"Jason, you
know that Mark would have been fine with it.
You're right; our little one isn't even a year yet."
Sarah is
just relaxing a bit. Jason feels a
little bit guilty for not passing this by Sarah first. Still, he stands by their decision to not ask
Sarah. He just wants his friend to not
go through raising their little one and then go through another 9-month pregnancy. Sarah would be okay with it, and he knows
that but still feels guilty. Jason can
hear the baby starting to fuss.
"I will let
you go, Sarah."
Sarah is appreciative
of the friendship that they have. She is
glad that he is okay with letting her go to take care of the baby. Shaun walks up to Jason to say goodbye.
"Babe, Sarah
said we should have asked her about being our surrogate."
Shaun shrugs
his shoulder and gives Jason a kiss.
Jason expected Shaun to say something, but he said nothing. Jason has tons of energy, so he goes for a
walk.
***
Jason heads
out for the walk. He usually walks up
and down the street and back to the house.
Today though, he walks around the block.
He needs the extra time, though, to release that energy. Sometimes, he switches up his walking
schedule and takes in different scenery.
***
When he gets
home, he sits at his computer to look up stuff on babies. First, he looks up names. He wants some inspiration. After a few minutes, he grabs his notebook
and writes down the ones that are his favorites. Next, he wants to look up what they will need
to buy when the bay or babies finally arrive at the house. Shaun would say that Jason is being consumed
by the baby thing. Maybe, he is correct,
but Jason wants to be prepared before they start the process. Jason still has a ton of energy, so he stops
by their friend's house.
***
He leaves
the house and walks down to Jeff's and Grant's place. He wants to tell them about the news. He just hopes he can do it without getting
giddy; that is how high his anticipation level is now. Knocking at the door, Jason is already
feeling his excitement climb. Grant
opens the door and invites Jason into the house. Jason is led into the dining room, where Jeff
and Grant sit, working on a jigsaw puzzle.
"Cool, a
jigsaw puzzle!"
Jeff looks
at Jason and smiles.
"Do you work
on puzzles with Shaun?"
Jason frowns
a bit.
"No, we've
never done them together. I don't even
know if Shaun does them. I know I
haven't."
Grant
reaches into the piece pile to search for the next piece he needs.
"It's a
great stay-at-home date night idea. Do you want to help us work on it while
you're here?"
Grant adds
as he searches. Jason slowly starts to
search for a piece, and as he does, he decides to tell the guys what's happening
in his life.
"So, Shaun
pulled me to the side and told me he is ready to start the process of having a
kid."
Grant and
Jeff both stop working on the puzzle.
Their eyes get huge. They are
happy for the guys. They can't imagine
what that must feel like.
"So, are you
going the adoption or surrogacy?"
The guys are
curious.
"We want to
try surrogacy first; if that doesn't work, we'll go the adoption route."
Jeff smiles
at pats Jason on his back.
"Congrats,
man!"
He is proud,
excited, and nervous. An hour is spent
working on the puzzle and talking with the guys. After finishing that hour with them, he
excuses himself and returns home.
