"Phil, I'm home!" Dan called as he walked into the house.

"Shh! I just got Charles to sleep!" Phil called back from the kitchen.

"Shit, sorry-" Dan said quieter as he took of his shoes. He dropped his bag down onto the floor by the door, and then he made his way into the kitchen. He looked up and smiled when he saw that Phil was doing the dishes. "You don't have to do the dishes love." He said as he walked over to him.

"I know that I don't but... the dishes were piling up and it was bugging me, and I needed something to do while I was waiting for you to come home," Phil said as he looked up at Dan. "So, uhm... how was work after I left?" He asked curiously. He couldn't help but wonder what the students at school thought of him. He never knew if they were good things or bad things. Even though he didn't go to that school anymore, he still cared about what people thought of him, even though Dan has told him millions of times that he shouldn't worry about what other people thought.

Dan shrugged his shoulders. "Pretty boring, to be honest," He said. He wrapped his arms around Phil and held onto him. "I wish you could have stayed."

"I wish I could have stayed too, Charles sleeps quite a bit so it's boring at home without you," Phil said with a sigh.

Dan leaned down and kissed Phil's neck, and kissed him until he reached Phil's lips.

"Dan!" Phil laughed and gently pushed him away. "Stop distracting me."

Dan laughed and then he finally let go of Phil. "Did you get school done today?" He asked calmly. Dan always, always made sure that Phil got his school work done every day whenever he came home from work, which Phil was glad because he didn't know what he would do without Dan helping him out like this. It was a good thing that Dan was a teacher so he could help Phil whenever he needed the help.

Phil sighed. "Yes, of course. Surprisingly, Charles was very good today," Phil told him.

Dan smiled proudly. "Ah, that's my boy. How long has he been asleep for?" He asked.

"About an-" Phil stopped as soon as he heard crying. "Hour." He finished.

"I'll get him!" Dan rushed out of the kitchen and he ran to the Charles' bedroom. Dan quietly opened the door and poked his head in. He smiled as soon as he saw that Charles was sitting up in his bed. "There's my little boy-" Dan walked over to the bed and looked at Charles.

Charles looked up and held out his arms as soon as he saw Dan, smiling his goofy smile that Dan loved so much.

"You're too cute, you know that mister?" Dan said. He reached down and then he picked up Charles from his bed. "Daddy says you've been a good boy today, huh?" He kissed Charles cheek. "Let's go see daddy." Dan walked out of the bedroom and then he walked back into the kitchen.

Phil looked over when he heard footsteps and then he smiled when he saw Dan walk into the kitchen with Charles in his arms. "God, I just really can't get over how much he looks like you. He's literally like the spitting image of you, it's absolutely crazy," He said.

Dan smiled proudly as he looked at Charles. "Guess he's going to be a handsome little boy when he grows up then, huh?" He said. He looked over at Phil and laughed when he saw he look on his face. "Come on... you know that I'm just joking." He said.

Phil rolled his eyes playfully and he couldn't help but smile anyways. "Oh, of course you were just joking," He said. He laughed. Hewalked over to Dan and kissed him gently and then he looked over at Charles. "He definitely is going to be a handsome boy when he gets older. That's for sure."

"Phil... can you believe we actually have our own son?" Dan asked. He walked over to one of the chairs at the kitchen table and sat down. "I still find it hard to believe really. I mean... I'm happy he's here with us. I adore him and love him so much, but it's so surreal almost." He said.

"I know. I'm only 16 but it feels like I'm so much older because I have Charles now," Phil said.

"Is that a good thing or a bad thing?" Dan asked as he looked up at Phil.

"I don't know. I guess a little bit of both, depends on how you look at it kind of," Phil replied. He also walked over and sat down at one of the chairs at the table. "I just don't want my childhood to be taken away. Things are finally getting better so I just hope that-"

"Hey... I will not let that happen, Phil-" Dan said, cutting Phil off. "Sure, things will be a little tough for a while but, if you want to do something... then just tell me. We're both apart of this relationship," Dan whispered as he held onto Charles. "You're only 16, and you deserve to live like a teenager should."

Phil couldn't help but smile as he looked up at Dan, suddenly feeling very lucky to have someone like Dan in his life. "I don't know how I got so lucky," He said.

"What do you mean?" Dan asked, blinking a few times.

"I have the perfect boyfriend who'll go out of his way to make me happy," Phil said.

Dan smiled and shook his head. "Come on, I love you and you know I'll do anything for you," He said.

Phil nodded. "Yeah... I know that now, especially after everything we've been through."

"We're in this together, and nothing is going to change that," Dan said.

"You promise?" Phil asked, taking a deep breath.

"I promise."
