Gar is a bit conflicted. The idea of one baby is scary and the idea of two? It's double scary but double exciting. He chews on his bottom lip.

"Complicated, huh," he laughs.

[doubled_speed]

"Yeah," Tommy answers. ANd he doesn't even know much about the Shepherd family. "I... if it was twins, I'd want a boy and a girl. And to give them REALLY different names."

[garrrr]

At least the idea of twins doesn't seem to freak Tommy out and he can't help but think that it's a possibility but still...complicated.

"We don't really get to choose but ideal world," he says and reaches to tug the other down so he could settle close into him.

[doubled_speed]

They're definitely too early in to really think about that. Or names. Or where they'll live as a family.

"No. But... we'll have a good family. I think."

[garrrr]

Still, all those thoughts keep coming up.

"I know."

[doubled_speed]

Yeah, it does. Because Tommy wants his kid or kids to grow up in a city. To let them meet all sorts of people and get all sorts of advantages. but they've got time.

"Is... there a name you'd want?"

[garrrr]

"I don't know..." Gar says, grinning a little bit.

"Something not mock worthy."

[doubled_speed]

"But a lot of things are mockable. If you've got a smarter class of bully," Tommy muses.

[garrrr]

"Okay but Garfield," Gar counters.

[doubled_speed]

"Dude, you were screwed by comics," Tommy dismisses.

[garrrr]

"Still," Gar laughs.

"What about you?"

[doubled_speed]

Really? Tommy rolls his eyes.

"Thomas the tank engine."

[garrrr]

"You think you can, you think you can..." Gar laughs.

[doubled_speed]

"That's the little engine that could," Tommy dismisses but he moves to kiss his boyfriend's.... his mate's brow.

"We've got time I guess."

[garrrr]

"They're not the same thing?" Gar asks and seriously he didn't know. He smiles at the kiss to his brow and he reaches to cup the other's cheek.

"Yeah, we got plenty of time."

[doubled_speed]

"Not the same thing," Tommy agrees. But that isn't here or there.

"I hate Thomas anyway. Thomas was a coward that bowed in front of adversity. Tommy's a better name."

[garrrr]

"Tommy feels more like you anyway," Just like Gar felt more like him than Garfield.

He guides him down to steal a soft kiss. "We'll know when we need to."

[doubled_speed]

Tommy is him, so that works.

"God, we're Thomas and Garfield. We sound like nerds."

[garrrr]

"We kind of are nerds," Gar doesn't disagree.

tommy don't call me out like this

[doubled_speed]

"Wow man, speak for yourself. I'm fucking cool," Tommy disagrees, rather energetically. He doesn't do that comic shit. Or watch movies a hundred times over. Or identify with characters in fiction or that stuff.

LMFAO

[garrrr]

"Well, i'm a total nerd," Gar laughs and as evidenced by all the video games, the walls covered in vintage movie posters and music posters and a long shelf full of vinyls.

[doubled_speed]

"Nah. You're just a fan of things," Tommy dismisses. Because there is no way that his boyfriend is a nerd. Nerds aren't his type.

Nerds are absolutely his type.

[garrrr]

"Uh huh..." Gar snorts. "You're ridiculous Tommy."

[doubled_speed]

"I'm not. I'm your baby daddy. So you better respect me."

Yeah, now he's just having fun.

[garrrr]

Gar bursts out laughing at that, his smile bright and he throws a pillow at Tommy’s face.

“Definitely ridiculous.”
