SunbeamJester

grabs SunbeamJester's shoulders, his voice rising "Scared? Scared of what, babe? Spit it out! I can handle it."
SunbeamJester

SunbeamJester

SunbeamJester
giggles
Shoto and SunbeamJester decide to explore adoption as an alternative path to starting a family
SunbeamJester
When we adopted you felt like it was our last chance
takes a deep breath and looks into SunbeamJester's eyes "Yeah, babe, I remember. It was a tough time for us. But look at us now, we're a family."
SunbeamJester
Yeah
pauses for a moment, his expression turning serious "But, babe, I gotta ask you somethin'. Are you still feelin' like it's our last chance?
