Summary: The guys get some news they have been waiting for.
Disclaimer: Not mine, wish they were, things would be different.
Van woke up with Jake curled up around him and the phone ringing. He tried to pull away enough to reach it but Jake just whimpered a little and pulled him closer.
“Jake, gotta get the phone.”
He smiled when Jake sighed and loosened his grip and he finally managed to grab the phone and say hello.
“Mr. Hansis? It’s Caroline Evans, from the foster care program?”
Van sat straight up. “Yes, Ms. Evans, what can I do for you?”
The tension in Van’s body and voice had Jake coming around quickly, blinking up at Van in concern.
“Well, Mr. Hansis, we have a situation here. I have two children, a brother and sister who are going to be in need of long term foster care and your home is on my list. Can you accommodate them?”
“Of course we can, we’d be happy to. When can we expect you?”
“Tomorrow morning. I’ll tell you the full story when I get there, but their mother was killed in a car accident last week and we have not been able to locate any relatives to take them.”
“Oh my god, that’s terrible.”
“Yes, it is. Anyway, the children’s names are Jasper and Klara. Jasper is 3 and Klara is 10 months old. Now, do you think you and Mr. Silbermann are going to be up for the responsibilities of children so young?
Van looked down at Jake and smiled at the sight of him looking so concerned.
“Yes, we are. We’re both between projects right now and we have the time to spend with them.”
“Well, you two are certainly the most enthusiastic foster parent applicants I have seen in a long time, and I appreciate that you both have been taking the parenting classes, you both got your first aid in childcare and all your instructors were very impressed with your dedication.”
“Thank you Ms. Evans. It’s something we’ve tried to take seriously. It means everything to us.”
“Well, I have no doubts that you will be up for the challenge. We’ll be there tomorrow morning at 9.”
“Okay, we’ll be waiting.”
They rang off, saying goodbye and Van slowly hung up the phone.
“Van?”
Jake was sitting up now, one hand on Van’s chest, over his heart, looking worried.
“Jake? That was Ms. Evans.”
Jake smiled at him, amused at the stunned tone in Van’s voice.
“Baby, you gonna tell me what she said?”
“She’s coming tomorrow. With kids. Small kids. One’s a baby.”
“A baby? Really? We’re gonna have a baby?”
Van’s head came up and his eye’s met Jake’s and held for a second before Van snorted and that was it.
The both lost it.
Van was laughing so hard he couldn’t breathe and Jake almost fell off the bed. Tomorrow they were going to have children at their door that needed them, needed their help, and the situation wasn’t funny but they couldn’t help it.
It had been a year and a half since Jake had brought up the possibility of children and it took a good six for Van to really hear what Jake had to say. It still amazed him that Jake had that much faith in him.
They had talked about all the ways they could have a child and it had taken them a while to settle on fostering first. Jake had made Van laugh when he said it would be like practice with a purpose.
***************
“Practice with a purpose Jake? What’s that supposed to mean?” The earnest expression on Jake’s face made Van’s heart do backflips.
Jake walked up and wrapped his arms around Van’s waist, pulling him in for a gently kiss.
“Well, we get to have some kids around, get some practice being daddy’s” That word made Van’s heart clench but in a good way. “and we get to help out some kids who really need it. I mean, it’s kind of perfect, don’t you think?”
Van wound his arms around his husbands neck and kissed his jaw. “Yeah, perfect.”
***********
They had decided that if it worked out, they would look into surrogate parenting. Jake’s sister had already offered to be a surrogate for them if they wanted it.
When they finally stopped laughing, Jake took Van in his arms and held him tight.
“Thanks for giving this a try Van. It means so much to me.”
Van leaned up to kiss him before pulling back to look in his eyes.
“I know it does, and honestly, I’m kind of looking forward to it. So, wanna know the details?”
Jake nodded, grinning so wide it hurt.
“Well, there is a little boy named Jasper who’s 3 and a little girl named Klara who’s 10 months. Their mother was killed in a car accident last week and they can’t find any relatives to take them.”
This was the hardest part for them, knowing that the reasons these children needed care were so terrible.
“Oh shit Jake!”
Jake could see the panic in Van’s face. Was he changing his mind? “What’s the matter Van?”
Van got out of bed and started going through his drawers, frantically looking through his clothes.
“Come on Jake, get up!”
“Van, what’s going on?”
Van ran back to the bed and started pulling on Jake’s hand. “Come on, lets get showered. We have to go shopping!”
Jake let himself be pulled off the bed and towards the bathroom.
“Shopping? Why?”
Van stepped up to Jake, pressed his naked body up against his husbands and pulled him into a passionate kiss. Jake’s arms came up instinctively to hold him.
“Jake? We need a crib.” The smile on Jake’s face told Van they were doing the right thing.
**********
They spent the rest of the day buying a crib and all the stuff they needed to go with it. The picked neutral bedding, knowing that Klara wouldn’t be theirs forever and the next child who used it might not be a girl. They found a classic Winnie the Pooh crib set that included a ceiling mobile with adorable tiny plush toys of all the characters.
They wanted to pick up diapers and stuff, but decided that they would wait until the kids got there so they would get the right ones. The diaper aisle at ToysRUs was a little overwhelming.
When they got home, they got everything unloaded and once Van got the bedding into the wash like the saleslady suggested, they got to work putting the bed together. It was fairly easy to figure out and they got it up in less than an hour.
The spare room already had a small twin bed in it, along with two small dressers. The room was painted a soft green that made it cozy and warm and there was a box of hand-me-down toys that Jake’s sister had sent along, her kids being too old for them.
Once the room was ready and the bedding had been put in the crib, they curled up on the couch together, snuggling up to talk about the next morning.
“Are you nervous Jake?” Van was playing with Jakes fingers. He was sure their fans would be tickled to know about that little habit that Luke had that was all Van.
“Yeah, a little.” Jake nuzzled his nose into Van’s neck. “But, I have faith in us, and I have faith in you. We can do this Van, I promise.”
“I know.” He angled his head more so that Jake could have better access.
“Hmmm, you know, we should take advantage of this Van.”
“How so? Not that I’m arguing of course.”
“Well, tomorrow we’re gonna be parents, and new parents don’t get a lot of alone time.” Jake leaned in to nibble along Van’s collarbone, then dipping his tongue into the hollow there. Grinning at the low moan bubbling out of his husbands throat.
“Hmmm, you might have a point, Jake. You wanna move this to the bedroom?”
Jake grabbed Van by the shoulders and turned him around, manhandling him so that he was straddling Jake’s hips. He wrapped on arm around the smaller man’s waist, using it to pull him closer, grinding their hips together, both of them feeling the heat of the other, even through 2 layers of denim.
“Think I’m good here for a few minutes.” He cradled Van’s head with his free hand, pulling him down gently, running his tongue over his bottom lip and then biting it gently. He felt Van’s tongue come out to meet his and then their lips were pushing together, both fighting to control this kiss and neither one really caring if they won the battle.
“Yeah, me too.” Van grunted the words out, rocking his hips to push himself more firmly against the hard bulge in the front of Jake’s jeans.
“Fuck Van, you always taste so good. Like chocolate mint ice cream, only warm.”
“You always smell so good Jake.” He leans down to nuzzle into Jake’s neck, inhaling deeply, smelling the spicy smell that is a combination of cologne, sweat and just Jake.
“Some days I could almost come just by smelling you.”
“That could be awkward in public sweetheart.” Jake was pushing Van’s shirt up, trying to get it over his head and Van lifted his arms to oblige him.
Jake’s shirt joined Van’s on the floor and Jake pulled Van down so that they were skin to skin, chest to chest, and even after all this time, it still made Van’s breath catch.
“You are so fucking hot Van.” Jake mouthed his way down Van’s jaw, down his chest, to latch onto a nipple. His hands came around to flick open the button of Van’s jean’s and lower the zipper. It loosened the waistband enough that he could slide his hands down the back of them, only to groan out loud when he realized that Van was commando under them.
“You’re trying to kill me, aren’t you. You know I love it when you go commando.”
Van arched forward, trying to get closer to that heavenly mouth. “That’s why I do it hot stuff.” He was smirking but Jake couldn’t bring himself to care, when he had Van’s chest under his mouth and his ass in his hands.
He loved Van’s ass. It fit into his hands perfectly and when he squeezed it, it made Van moan. Every. Single. Time. And he loved that moan, loved that it was just him that got to hear it. He adjusted his hands a little and slid one finger over Van’s hole, making him shiver on Jake’s lap.
“Want you Jake. Need you in me, now.”
The little bit of bossiness in Van’s voice made Jake shiver a little too. He pushed Van off his lap for a second so he could slide both their jeans off, and then pulled him back in again.
“Gonna ride me Van? Love to watch you fucking yourself on me.”
Van grabbed Jake’s hand and brought it to his mouth, watching Jake’s eyes darken as he sucked a couple of fingers in, getting them nice and slippery. He pulled them out of his mouth and guided Jake’s hand down and back, and when it reached his hole, Jake rubbed around the sensitive skin and then slid one finger in. He kissed Van, distracting him from the discomfort, probing gently, waiting for him to relax so he could slid another one in.
Van was squirming on his lap, pushing back against the fingers inside him. Then Jake twisted a little and found Van’s prostate and he whimpered into Jake’s mouth.
“I’m ready Jake, please, no more waiting.”
Jake stroked his fingers in and out a few more times, needing to make sure Van was ready before pulling them out gently and reaching into the drawer of the table beside the couch. When his fingers connected with the bottle of lube, he grabbed it and passed it to Van. Van opened it and drizzled some onto Jake’s hand and shaking with anticipation, he watched as Jake reached down to slick it over himself before sliding his now slippery fingers over Van’s ass, adding the lube to the wetness he had already left behind.
He grabbed the base of his cock and lined it up with Van, watching in awe as his beautiful husband lowered himself slowly, inch by inch, his eyes never leaving Jake’s, until he was fully seated, his hands on Jake’s shoulders, using them for balance.
“Feel so good in me Jake. Like this is where I’m supposed to be, all the time.” He leaned in to whisper the words in Jake’s ear, then flicking his tongue out, curling it around the outer edge of his ear and then sucking on the sensitive skin behind. Jake was putty in his hands now.
Van pulled himself up a little, tightening his muscles around Jake’s cock, pulling a moan from deep in his chest. He slid back down and pulled off a little farther and then slammed himself back down, knowing just the angle to take so that Jake’s rock hard cock was hitting against him just right.
Jake’s hands were on Van’s hips, steadying him, helping him lift, but not controlling. He liked it when Van was taking charge.
“You amaze me Van. So hot and so sweet all at the same time. How can you look so innocent when you’re sliding up and down my cock?”
His hips were trying to thrust up to meet Van’s down thrust and he was pretty sure there would be some bruises on Van’s hips when they were done. It gave him a twinge of guilt, but he resolved to kiss them better later.
“Hmm, I just have the talent baby.” Van leaned forward to lick his way into Jake’s mouth, loving how those vampire teeth of his felt against his tongue. The change in angle made it so Van’s cock was being rubbed up against Jake’s belly and there were no words to describe how delicious that felt.
“Gonna come like this Jake, just like this.” He thrusts were getting a little erratic as he pushed down a little harder. “Can you feel my cock against you? It’s so hard and you’re not going to have to even touch me.”
“Then come for me baby, wanna feel it on me, on my skin.” He pulled Van closer, ducking down to bite down on a hard nipple, smiling at the broken groan it produced.
“Jake, Jake, Jake.” Van was punctuating every thrust by panting Jake’s name. Jake couldn’t take it anymore.
“Van!” Van’s head snapped up, their gazes catching and locking, just as Jake thrust up hard and pulled Van down at the same time. It was all it took
Van was coming with a wail and the feeling of him clenching around his cock had Jake following him over the edge into the abyss.
Van melted boneless, down onto Jake’s chest, arms tucked in, Jake’s arms wrapped around him. This was almost Van’s favorite part, snuggled up against his husband, still so full of him, feeling safe and protected in a world that could be so harsh.
“Van, we cannot fall asleep like this babe.” He chuckled at the whine from Van. “Come on, I’ll clean you up and tuck you in.”
Van reluctantly slid up and back, wincing at the feeling of Jake leaving his body. He stumbled a little as he stood and Jake reached out and steadied him as he stood. Van was such a sleepy head after sex.
Jake led him to the bedroom and laid him down, going to the bathroom for a warm cloth cleaning himself and then going out to wipe Van down. He covered him up, kissing him tenderly on the forehead and smiled at the way Van clutched at his fingers.
“Don’t go.”
“Just going to tidy up baby, be right back.”
“M’kay. Hurry. Love you.”
“Love you too Van, forever.”
Van was mostly asleep, but smiled anyway.
Jake grabbed a pair of boxers from the drawer and pulled them on, going back to the living room to clean up the mess on the couch and then heading back to bed, setting the alarm and snuggling up against Van’s back. Jake smiled at how the smaller back instinctively backed closer and Jake put his arm around him, locking them together. He thought he would be awake all night, worrying about the next day, but the sex and the warmth had him asleep in minutes and he drifted off thinking he was the luckiest person in the world.
*****************
They had been up since 5, making sure the apartment was perfect, pacing around, excited and nervous.
“What if they don’t like me?”
“Van, they’re gonna be crazy for you. Just, give it time, okay?”
Jake pulled Van into a comforting embrace, and they just stood like that for a minute, giving each other strength.
They both started when the intercom buzzed and Jake was at the panel in a heartbeat.
“Hello?”
“Hello, this is Ms. Evans, can we come up?”
“Of course!”
Jake pushed the buttons to let them in and a couple of minutes later there was a knock and Jake and Van opened the door and looked into the soulful brown eyes of their future.
