It had been a long day. Two of his patients died, another one had to go into emergency surgery, he's home 3 hours late and he has to be back at the hospital at 7am. He called Oliver to let him know he was held up, but he still hates not being there for bedtime, to give his husband a break from being Sierra's go to guy. The deal was 4 days a week, but its not supposed to be quite so much of those 4 days. Some days he's left feeling not enough for his patients, not enough for his family.
When he gets in all the lights are off, which is hardly a surprise. He flicks on the light, gives the dog a scratch, goes to see if there's coffee in the pot. There isn't, but there is a post it stuck on it: “No coffee for you if you're gonna get any sleep tonight. Food in fridge if you need it. Hugs from littlest & large in the bed if you need them.”
It takes him less than 5 minutes to compensate the dog for being woken up, brush his teeth and strip down to the underwear Oliver insists be worn if Sierra might be anywhere near their bed. He finds both sides of his bed essentially taken, and who knew a 5 year old could take up half a king-size mattress and almost all the bed covers?! He crawls up the bed between daughter and husband, and shuffles back against Oliver, while a smaller warmth in front of him turns into his arms.
“Ok?” Says a groggy voice at his shoulder.
“Am now.”

“Are you gonna call your parents?” Kyle asked, the day after they found out.
“Why?”
“Ummm... to tell them they're grandparents!”
“They're not. They ever call me back for thanksgiving or christmas, then they can maybe be grandparents. But she's gonna have a family who will love her no matter what. Right now... right now it doesn't look like that's them. It doesn't matter. She's got us. It's enough.”
“Good. I hoped you'd say that.” Kyle said, and leaned forwards to kiss his boyfriend's temple.
