Rating: PG

Wordcount: 300 words
Summary: In truth a family is what you make it. It is made strong, not by number of heads counted at the dinner table, but by the rituals you help family members create, by the memories you share, by the commitment of time, caring, and love you show to one another, and by the hopes for the future you have as individuals and as a unit. MARGE KENNEDY, The Single Parent Family

It had been a few months since Colby had asked Alan if he could marry his son. For a while, he had been kind of flushed every time Alan included him whenever he was calling his “sons” for some reasons. After a while it wore off, but you could still see the pleased look whenever Alan would call him that, either at home or in front of other people. He was glad Alan wasn’t ashamed of having a gay son, and that he was accepting of their relationship. It would have broken his heart if Charlie had to go through the same thing he went through with his own family.
Colby thought that Alan wouldn’t have chosen a FBI person for his genius son, having been an anarchist in his youth, but Alan was actually glad Colby was there to take Charlie’s mind off his math, science, or whatever obsession his kid had at that time. He was aware that a person like Amita would have driven Charlie straight to the math whenever they had a conversation. At least, Colby can talk to him about sports and not statistic, keep up with him during a hike, play ball or drag him to do non-academic thing.
But what Colby loved was when, even if Colby or Don weren’t here, Alan would drop by the office to take Colby to lunch, only the two of them, or if they were alone at home, they would either go out for errands, or to the ice-cream parlor, or even just for a walk. They would talk about their life, their past, their families, their expectations. For anyone to see it’d be two random people talking about everything and anything, but for Colby, those moments were priceless; it was a son and a father talking.
