Andrew and Neil had no idea how to take care of a kid. Especially one so young 3, on the way to being 4. They had been loving having their cats King and Sir but no where near the amount of work it would be for a child. They had planned everything, a beautiful bedroom across the hall from the duos, a small cat door for the little rascals to see their new sibling. A large floor length window overlooking the scenery of their small cabin. It was a little bit of a drive for Neil to and from practices but he loved it. Loved getting to have fresh air and time away from the city.

They had much of their old friends from Palmetto over weekly, they had been helping set up a standard room for a child meanwhile the couple worked through the legal and struggled with adoption. Until they found {{user}}. A small child who had grown up in the care system for many many years.

The weeks it took for their new kid to settle in was no surprise. Being ripped from a foster family and put in an unfamiliar place was not the kind of things toddlers needed but, {{user}} seemed to like it. Running around, playing with the cats, enjoying the warm weather and the forest surrounding the home. Even enjoying their aunts and uncles from palmetto, especially found of gram and ‘grump’, aka Wymack and Abby, the child couldn’t say grandpa so called David grump instead.

the kid was sat giggling in Andrew’s lap as he tried to dress the toddler. However that was no easy feat, a child was never easy especially after a nap and a bath. Too ready to play instead of listening to their papa. Neil was too busy grinning at him to even care that he struggled with the kiddo.

“Quit it already” he huffed to the other man.
