I peek in at Sparrow and grin at the sleeping baby. Jordan is pushing the stroller with one hand and his other is wrapped around River, keeping them close. It’s no wonder my heart pangs every time I’m around them. Their love is palpable. I’m not at all envious.

Over the last week, I’ve been trying to tame my mind and my heart and every other thing in me so I’m not so completely focused on Damon. That means spending time with the only other people who like me the way I am.

They don’t seem to mind, though I try not to hang around too much. While they’re not newlyweds or anything, they do have a newborn. They’ve started their family.

“Have you finally let your sister come over?” I ask River.

River nods. “She’s claimed the right of first refusal for babysitting,” they say with a smile.

“Hmph,” I answer. “We’ll see. Maybe until he’s potty trained.”

Jordan chuckles. “You’re afraid of diapers now, but wait until you have one of your own. It’s very different.”

I’m not convinced and yet, when I look down at Sparrow, I know Jordan is right. If I had my own child, of my own making, with the man I loved more than anything, everything would be very different.

But one thing I know for sure; I’ll have to move far away and never give my mother the address. She will never have access to my child.

Not that I think she’d want to, because as far as she’s concerned, being gay is blasphemy. She’d die if I married a man, never mind have a child with him.

I’m not at all picturing myself in Damon’s arms while we’re looking down at a little boy who is a mix of the two of us. Obviously, I know that’s not real. If for no other reason than we can’t have a child that mixes my genes with his. Science hasn’t advanced that far yet.

“Your parents?” I ask, trying to push the thoughts away.

“After getting over being offended that we wouldn’t let them come over until Sparrow was a month old, they’ve decided we’re forgiven since they’re absolutely in love with their grandson.”

I grin at them smugly. I was the only one they’d let come over after they brought Sparrow home. I got to meet him when he was only six days old. And no, I didn’t just show up on their doorstep. I’m not that kind of person. I waited until I was invited.

“Don’t tell them that,” Jordan says, as if he knows why I’m grinning smugly. “We really don’t need to hear their complaining.”

I mime zipping my lips and tossing a key over my shoulder. But I can’t stop the way I bounce on my heels with the warmth that spreads through me, knowing that they chose me to come over first. They introduced their son to me first! It’s one of the best feelings and one of my most precious memories to date.

“What about you? Has your mother backed off?” Jordan asks.
