Henry, Frank and Nora

Frank: Frank wraps the few pictures that he was giving Henry for his birthday. He lights the candles and what not. He knew he would be home after his dinner with one of his old friends from home. He fixes everything up, making sure his small cake was perfect.

Henry: Henry walks in, unbundling from the cold. "Frank?" He picks up the kitten. "Hey there."

Frank: He finishes the couple books he got him as well as the CDs. "In here." He piles them nicely.

Henry: He strides in, carrying the cat. "Sorry I'm late."

Frank: "Just in time." He grins.

Henry: He leans in to kiss his cheek. "Missed you. You should have come."

Frank: "I had a few things to do." He grins, glancing to a text message from his cousin asking if he told him yet.

Henry: "What was that?"

Frank: "Nothing." He shakes his head, "How did it go?" He wraps his arms around him.

Henry: "Just fine. Justin said he wants to meet you."

Frank: "I'd love to." He smiles, kissing him deeply.

Henry: He kisses him, smelling slightly of cigars and beer. "Love you."

Frank: "Love you too." He nods, "Happy birthday, baby."

Henry: "Thanks."

Frank: He walks him over to the small dinner table, "Want some dessert?"

Henry: He nods. "I'd love some."

Frank: He pulls his chair out, "You can open your presents after cake."

Henry: "Presents?"

Frank: He nods, "Every boy gets presents for his birthday."

Henry: He grins.

Frank: "And I think this year's will be the best."

Henry: "Well I have you." He smirks.

Frank: He kisses his hand, "Yeah."

Henry: "You are too much."

Frank: "Bach helped a lot too."

Henry: "Did you?" He looks at the kitten that promptly jumps into Henry's lap. "You aren't supposed to be on the table."

Frank: "He wasn't." He smiles, putting the cake on the table, "Blow them out. I want to get to the gifts."

Henry: He does as asked. "It looks great."

Frank: He smiles, "Thank you." He cuts them both pieces.

Henry: "You made it?" He takes a bite.

Frank: "Is it okay?" He nods.

Henry: "Really good."

Frank: "Good." He eats his.

Henry: He finishes half, pushing it away.

Frank: "Is it okay?"

Henry: "It's wonderful. I'm full." He reaches for Frank's hand.

Frank: "Open your presents." He grabs a small box, "This one is last though."

Henry: He reaches for it. "You sure?"

Frank: "Positive." He points to the others, "Open."

Henry: He opens a box, looking at the pictures. "Wow."

Frank: "Look how cute we are."

Henry: "So cute." He smirks, opening other presents and grinning. "These are great."

Frank: "Okay, now this one." He gives him the one he's been holding, "This one is the greatest and you'll think it's even greater for years to come."

Henry: He gives him a look. "What is it?" He hasn't opened the box.

Frank: "Open." He grins widely, "I hope you like it."

Henry: He opens it. "Wow."

Frank: "Know what it is?" He puts his head on his shoulder.

Henry: "It's an EPT right?"

Frank: He nods, "Know who the daddy is?"

Henry: "You?" He's confused.

Frank: He smiles, shaking his head, "You are."

Henry: "What?"

Frank: "Nora said she's about two months."

Henry: He grins. "That's so awesome." He pauses. "This is the best birthday present ever."

Frank: "You like it?"

Henry: He nods. "She's sure?"

Frank: He points to the test, "Positive. She's getting blood work done tomorrow just to double check."

Henry: "We'll have a baby?"

Frank: He nods, "That's part of me and you."

Henry: He reaches to pull Frank closer. "In seven months?" He thinks. "August, right after the Bar."

Frank: He nods, "We'll wait until after the forth month to start decorating."

Henry: He nods. "Do we find out if it's a boy or a girl?"

Frank: "Up to you."

Henry: "Well we want the right colors."

Frank: "Could do green or yellow."

Henry: "I want to know."

Frank: "Okay." He grins, "You can tell your mom if you'd like. We can fly her here to tell her."

Henry: "We can tell her at graduation if you want."

Frank: "When is that?"

Henry: "Mother's Day."

Frank: "In May?"

Henry: He nods.

Frank: "We can tell her before then. I want her to be part of this from the beginning."

Henry: "When you think." He nods.

Frank: "I'd like to fly her here and tell her."

Henry: "Today?"

Frank: "As soon as the blood tests get back." He grins.

Henry: "What if she's like Annie?"

Frank: "Like Annie?"

Henry: "And loses it." He's soft.

Frank: "Then we'll keep trying until we get it." He kisses him.

Henry: "I just don't want to tell her unless we're sure."

Frank: "I want her to share in the first months with us."

Henry: "Even if we lose it?"

Frank: He nods, "We have to take the chance." He kisses him gently.

Henry: "I can't lose our baby."

Frank: "I know." He strokes his hair, "Let's just take it one day at a time. Nora takes great care of herself and vowed to do this for me as many times as I'd like since we were kids."

Henry: "Annie takes care of herself." He's soft.

Frank: "They're two different people, Henry. We're going to take it one day at a time. If we lose this one, we'll try again and again until we get our baby. Okay?"

Henry: "You swear?"

Frank: "Promise you." He nods.

Henry: He leans on Frank. "This is such a great present."

Frank: "Don't expect it every year though." He teases.

Henry: He laughs. "We'll have children for the next one."

Frank: "A beautiful little baby." He smiles.

Henry: He nods.

Frank: "Nora said we can have as much access as we'd like."

Henry: "Access?" He looks confused.

Frank: "Every appointment, every whatever. Delivery room. Everything."

Henry: "Oh." He looks at Frank. "Do we?"

Frank: "Do we what?"

Henry: "Want that stuff?"

Frank: "Absolutely." He nods, "I want to go and see our baby at the sonogram appointments. Make sure everything is good at the ObGyn appointments."

Henry: "I just don't wanna embarrass her."

Frank: "You're the baby's father."

Henry: "But it's her private parts."

Frank: "She told me. She doesn't care."

Henry: "I don't know." He's soft. Girl parts were gross.

Frank: "Babe, if you don't get over your fear of vaginas, you won't see our baby being born."

Henry: "I don't have to look down there. I'll hold her hand."

Frank: "No one told you to. I will, but you don't have to."

Henry: He sighs. "I just don't wanna look down there."

Frank: "So don't."

Henry: "You're acting like I have to."

Frank: "I don't mean to." He kisses him, "Don't worry. Just worry that we're getting a baby out of the deal."

Henry: "Our baby."

Frank: He nods, "And nobody else's."

Henry: He chuckles. "This is awesome."

Frank: He grins, "She'll be over later. Said you can talk to her belly as much as you want."

Henry: "You know me too well."

Frank: He grins, "You'll like her."

Henry: "She's related to you."

Frank: "My cousin."

Henry: "See."

Frank: "Biologically, it will be us."

Henry: He nods. "Of course."

Frank: He grins.

Nora: Nora knocks at the door, adjusting her appearance.

Henry: Henry looks up. "Who's that?"

Frank: He walks to the door, letting her in, "Hen, our baby's mother is here."

Henry: Henry stands. "Nora?" He glances at her, she was interesting looking.

Nora: "Hello." She grins, "Fetus, Your daddies are here."

Henry: He kneels down, still a little sore from his attack. "Hi." He tells her stomach. "I'm your dad Henry."

Nora: She grins, then swallows, running to the bathroom.

Henry: "What'd I do?"

Frank: "Said she's had it really bad." Frank sighs, "Sickness."

Henry: "Oh." He didn't quite understand really.

Frank: "Here." He hands him the 'What to Expect...' book, "Now you'll know."

Henry: "Should we do something for her?"

Frank: "Like?"

Henry: "I dunno."

Frank: He swallows, "She can stay with us."

Henry: "Sure."

Frank: He grins, "Okay."

Nora: Nora returns, "I'm sorry about that."

Henry: "Do you need anything?"

Nora: "Some water if you have it."

Henry: "Sure." He gets up.

Frank: Frank grins, "I want you to stay with us."

Henry: He gets the water and comes back. "You can have the spare room and bathroom. Frank's a decent cook."

Nora: "I don't-Are you sure? You'd want that?" She's quiet.

Frank: He nods, "I want to take care of you and watch you grow."

Henry: "We want to take care of you."

Nora: "I don't want to impose."

Frank: "You aren't."

Henry: "Please stay with us."

Nora: She nods, "I don't have much."

Frank: "I'll help you get your things." Frank stands.

Henry: "Where are you living now?"

Nora: She doesn't answer.

Frank: Frank sighs, "Her car." He says quietly.

Henry: He nods. "Oh." He takes her hand. "You are welcome here as long as you want to stay."

Nora: She has tears in her eyes, "Thank you."

Henry: He shakes his head. "No, thank you for my child."

Nora: "It's the least I can do."

Henry: "You don't have to."

Nora: "I want to." She nods.

Henry: He grins. "Thanks."

Nora: She smiles, "Anything for Frank." She nods, "And now, anything for you."

Henry: He grins. "Anything you need, let us know."

Nora: She shakes her head, "I'm fine."

Henry: "You sure? You could get me to order Frank to get a haircut."

Frank: "Hey, I like my hair." Frank objects.

Nora: She giggles, "It's okay."

Frank: "People are plotting against me."

Henry: "Just say the word."

Frank: He smiles, carrying her clothes to the guest bedroom.

Nora: "I think I'm going to go lie down." She smiles, "Is that okay?"

Henry: "Sure. Do you want some help?"

Nora: She shrugs, "If you'd like."

Frank: Frank grins, "I'm going to clean down here."

Henry: "Why don't you lay down in our room for a bit?"

Nora: "Are you sure? If there's a bed in my room, it will be fine."

Henry: "Let Frank clean. He has this little apron he likes to wear."

Frank: "Naked." Frank giggles.

Nora: She grins, "Isn't like I haven't seen that before."

Henry: "He's going to work on the clothes wearing."

Frank: "Nah." He shakes his head.

Henry: He rolls his eyes.

Nora: Nora shakes her head, "Don't change anything just because of me."

Henry: "Just for right now." He nods. "I'll walk you up. Frank, go clean."

Frank: Frank rolls his eyes, walking away.

Nora: She smiles, walking with the man
