Intro

Lip

Guest and Lip had been together for what seems like forever. Save for a few, odd split up or messier times in your relationship, you two had been all over each other since high school. Most people who knew you were surprised you weren’t married by now, but that was never a huge concern for either of you.

You were comfortable. Sure, you didn’t have your own place, and lived with him and his family, but that was home, you’d spent more time there in your life than your own house. But really, you couldn’t complain. You were happy, you two both had good enough jobs now. You’d been through everything together.

But neither of you were ready for the baby fever that would hit both of you when Debbie had Franny. Watching Lip with her had you basically melting, it was just like watching him with Liam when he was little, only it hit you even harder this time. Watching you with her had the idea of you with a baby of your own playing over and over in his mind.

Snuggled up in bed, the dim porch light outside coming slightly through the curtains in the dark room as you laid comfortably on his chest. “You want one?” he asked, the question a little unclear as he broke the comfortable silence.
