"Well... they'll at least be hot," Tommy smiles as he shifts so he isn't lying with his head on Gar's stomach. Can't live there like that. Even if he wants to.

[garrrr]

"Is that a good thing?" Gar laughs, shifting a little again when the other did. He exhales as he tilts his head back.

"I think this is the first time i've not felt nauseous in weeks."

[doubled_speed]

Tommy does still move so he's mostly coiled around his mate. Where else would he ever want to be?

"Maybe I'm good for something then. For once."

[garrrr]

Gar wants him close, needs him close right now. After being apart from him so long...

"Don't say things like that. You're good for a lot of things... like... sex... the most amazing dates around the world, standing up for people, protecting me..." he trails off.

"You're good for me."

[doubled_speed]

"Aw, I knew you loved me best for my cock," Tommy teases, his fingers coming to toy with Gar's hair.

[garrrr]

“Your cock definitely doesn’t hurt,” Gar smirks and he nudged Tommy gently. “Might not be what I love most about you but I missed that too.”

[doubled_speed]

"Unless we're not prepping enough," Tommy shrugs. But he smiles and moves to kiss Gar's hair.

"This kid is going to have to deal with some weird shit. But snuggly tiger dad."

[garrrr]

“I kind of like that kind of hurt sometimes though so does it really even count?” Gar slips one of his arms around Tommy, holding close to him and just settling into his warmth and scent and everything about him that felt exactly as it should be.

“Hopefully that won’t be scary,” he laughs. “They’re gonna have a lot of people who love them a lot.”

[doubled_speed]

Well of course there will be a lot of people excited for them. Billy will definitely be up there.

"You tell your team?"

[garrrr]

"I only told Dick..." Gar bit his lip, frowning. "I didn't even want to tell him but he would have just followed me if I didn't tell him why I was going."

[doubled_speed]

"Jason overheard," Tommy mumbles. Because he gets it now. Because Jason knew that his mate was leaving him over having a kid. "Don't know if he knows WHY, but he knows you left without telling me where."

[garrrr]

Gar frowns. "What...?" He sighs and it bothers him for some reason. Because really if Jason knew that much then he'd probably heard the whole conversation. He bites his lip.

"Wouldn't be surprised if he tells everybody."

[doubled_speed]

"I can punch him for you," Tommy growls, unable to keep from feeling protective. Pregnant mate definitely overrode some forms of sanity.

[garrrr]

Gar rolls his eyes and he reaches to tilt Tommy's head just the right angle to kiss him. "You'd enjoy that too much."

[doubled_speed]

Kissing is good. Tommy can turn off the stupidity of his brain for kissing. Including the desire to punch the guy. Because he would hate Jason for crowing over this. His mate, his kid gone because Gar thought Tommy couldn't handle it. Jason would have CROWED over him.

[garrrr]

Gar is quite honestly happy to keep kissing Tommy more. He'd missed it, missed being close to Tommy, missed kissing and touching him.

And it was way better than talking about Jason.

[doubled_speed]

Worlds better than talking about Jason. But he is happy to kiss until his lips feel heavy with it, and then he pulls back enough to smile.

"Food. I need food. Tell me what to get you."

[garrrr]

Gar makes a low sound when Tommy finally pulls away. He lays his head back and looks up at him.

"Mm... Just soup," he says quietly. He's not very open to the experimentation of what his stomach will handle.

[doubled_speed]

"Something brothy," Tommy guesses. Easy on the stomach. "I can get crackers too."

Use him, please, He wants to help.

[garrrr]

"yeah," Gar agrees. "Those oyster crackers?"

[doubled_speed]

Yeah, he's good with that. Tommy smiles and nods and stretches. "Where's there a store near here? Don't wanna waste time searching."

[garrrr]

Gar shifts a bit and he would offer to go with him but it'd be faster for Tommy to just go. So he gives him quick directions to the nearest grocery store. It's not far at all even by normal travel standards.

"Maybe some ginger ale too?"

[doubled_speed]

"You got it."

And Tommy is gone. Takes him twenty minutes to get back because check outs. And yeah, there's everything. He's got bags with soup and crackers and ginger ale and lots of other bland staples. Things they can try. And a mound of snacks for himself.

[garrrr]

Gar yawns when Tommy leaves and curls up in all the pillows and everything the other had set up for him. It still doesn't take very long for Tommy to get back and he'd already been antsy in that space of twenty minutes.

"Got everything you need?"

[doubled_speed]

"Nah. But I can get more stuff when you take a nap or something," he says. And then he's gone for a second and back with a microwave. Which he plugs in. "Gonna warm this up."
