New waved as Off arrived in the café together with Pluem. They had both agreed on co-parenting so Pluem gets to stay at P'Off's place for a week every month.

"Oh he's here." Tay huffed and crossed his arms.

The younger hugged Tay from the back. "Hey... be nice."

"I'm kidding, Sweetheart! Off and I are friends...-ish." Tay smiled as he leaned his head back against the younger's. He and Off managed to have a proper talk the day before Tay proposed to New. As much as the older didn't like it, Off was still Pluem's father and Tay will never want Pluem to be in the middle of their immature mess so he offered a truce.

"Papa!! Pops!!" Pluem ran so fast that the impact of his hug on Tay's legs almost made the couple fall.

"Oof. Easy there, Kiddo!" Tay ruffled Pluem's hair and the boy looked up at him, grinning widely. "Did you have fun?"

Pluem nodded. "Where's Nanon?"

"Oh no! Where could your little brother be?!" New pretended to look horrified as he stood in front of the baby carriage, hiding it from Pluem. When he saw the little boy's jaw quiver, New immediately moved to the side to show him the baby carriage. "I'm kidding Bud. He is right here!"

Pluem's face suddenly lit up and he was jumping up and down from excitement. He was immediately beside his brother's carriage and gently caressing the little boy's tummy.

"Well you guys go ahead and talk with Off. I'll go and get us some refreshments ready." Tay nudged New to where Off sat.

"And don't forget... Green Seedless Grapes."

"Green Seedless Grapes."

Both said at the same time. New smiled widely at his husband and Tay kissed the back of Hin's hand. "I know. I didn't forget."

"I love you!" The younger shouted and giggled when he saw the back of Tay's ear turn red. "Bud, are you going to wait for Pops?"

"Uh huh!" Pluem whispered as he gently rocked the carriage.

New smiled and proceeded to greet Off. "Hey! Everything went okay?" He sat comfortably opposite his ex-husband.

"Hey! Yeah! It was great! We took him camping!"

"Oohh! That's great! I'm sure we would hear it over din-"

"Papa! What should I do?! What to do?!" Pluem could be heard panicking from where he stood.

New was about to stand to go check but Tay was quick to come out of the kitchen and mouthed 'I got it.'

He watched as Tay carried Nanon over to the counter as he slowly showed Pluem what to do when changing diapers.

Newshook his head and his body relaxed against the chair. And as he shifted, his thick jacket slid to the side, revealing a bulging stomach.

"Whoa... you're pregnant?!" Off's voice slightly echoed inside the café. He quickly looked around and was thankful no one was around. "Ah. Sorry."

New ran a hand on his bulging stomach and nodded "Yeah."

"How old is Nanon?"

"Turning 1 soon."

Off eyes New. "And how far along are you?"

"5 months."

"Aren't you guys going a bit fast?"
