The Beach - Sunday Afternoon

Cutter was finding that he was quite enjoying being a parent, even if it was only for a weekend and he was also trying very hard to not think about Tabby being his and Helen’s daughter. He just hoped that Helen never found out about this, there was no telling what she’d try to do.

Teddy had wanted to go exploring and wanted to see if he could find any trilobites. This had definitely thrilled Cutter and so after breakfast that morning, which Tabby had made again, she was not trusting either Cutter or Connor with the kitchen while she was there.

So now they were all at the beach, carefully exploring the shore for any signs of trilobites, which they weren’t having much luck with even though Cutter was having fun pointing out other different fossils for Teddy and Tabby while they were trying to find said trilobites.

[Connor modded with permission and the beach is open as well!]

Connor walked along the beach, watching Tabby and Teddy explore and hunt for fossils. As they stood watching, he reached a hand out to grab Cutter's and gave it a fond squeeze.

"Our kids are pretty amazing, aren't they?" he said with a warm smile as he looked over at Cutter.

Our Kids was still something he never thought he would be able to say. And it felt amazing.

Cutter smiled warmly as he took hold of Connor’s hand and returned the squeeze, “they definitely are,” he said happily, as he watched Teddy and Tabby,”I never thought anything like this could be possible,” he admitted.

"Same. I... I never thought this would be something that was even an option for me."

Connor looked from Tabby and Teddy then to Cutter.

"But this... I... Id really be able to get used to something.... like this."

“So could I,” Cutter admitted fondly, “I think…it’s something that I’d like one day, being able to have a family with you,”

He knew that it would have to be a conversation that they’d have to have down the line but after the last couple of days, being with Tabby and Teddy …he did want this, he wanted a family with Connor one day.

"I dont think you will get much resistance from me" Connor replied with a grin as he leaned over and placed a quick kiss on Cutter's cheek.

"The idea of something... something like this... with you.... I'd really like it someday."

Yes, a lot to talk about and figure out. But going from never having allowed himself to dare anything resembling a family of his own was possible to seeing a snippet of what could be.... that alone was enough to make him want this. For them both.

Cutter smiled warmly at that, they would have a lot to talk about their future but it was nice to imagine that they could have a future like this.

“I would really like that,” he told Connor fondly. “I never thought anything like this could be possible,” and he looked over at Teddy and Tabby who were doing their best to find trilobites, “but I would love to have a future like this with you,” his smile widened.

"I know Tabby and Teddy... they are one possibility.... what could have been" Connor said as he watched them, a huge grin on his face. "But... whatever it might look like... I would like to have this... someday.. with you Nick." The grin on his face couldn't get much wider as he looked over.

“I would love this too,” Cutter smiled as he leaned against Connor contentedly, enjoying this moment, “getting to build a future with you, having kids …I’m looking forward to everything,”

Connor grinned broadly. "Greatest adventure. And there's no one else I'd rather experience it with than you" he said as he pulled an arm around Cutter and held him close. "As long as you are besides me, I know we can make it work!"

Cutter smiled as he relaxed into Connor’s arm, “and we have plenty of time to figure everything out as well,” he added, “especially once my sabbatical ends, we’ll have more time to work things out, especially once I’m able to settle in Fandom more and not have travel to London so much,”

"And once I finally get that degree finished too. It will make things easier on us across the board too" Connor said, taking the time to enjoy everything. "There's so much out there waiting... And I'm glad it is you I get to figure it all out with." Connor gave Cutters hand a gentle squeeze then lifted it for a soft kiss.

Oh look at that Cutter was turning a little red as Connor kissed his hand, “I’m looking forward to everything, I’m really glad that I can share this journey with you,” he said happily and then leaned in to give Connor a kiss.

Going from a hand kiss to a full kiss was something Connor was never going to say no to that was for sure. He gladly leaned into the kiss and gave a happy, content moan in reply.

Cutter was very happy to lean into the kiss and was quite happy to keep it going as long as possible.

Kissing on the beach, sounds of the kids laughing and having fun... this was a normal life Connor could definitely get used to. "Love you Nick," he sai while he could, figuring they'd be interrupted soon.

This was definitely something he could get used to as he murmured happily into Connor’s kiss, before they were interrupted, “I love you too Connor,”

"Papi! Da-Da!" Teddy called out excitedly as he ran over holding up a shell. "It's not a tribbilobiste" he said, slightly disappointed, stumbling over the word the way any four-year-old would.

Okay that was adorable and Cutter’s heart melted at that, did they really have to say goodbye to the kids after the weekend.

“They’re very hard to find aren’t they?” he said as he knelt down to be eye level with Teddy, “can I have a look ?” he asked, holding out his hand for the shell, “you may have found a fossil,”

Connor smiled as he watched them, the smile broadening a bit as he felt Tabby put her arms around him as she watched as well. Connor looked down at her, his own heart melting a bit more at the way Tabby was watching her brother. These kids of theirs really were something.... it was going to be very hard to let them go when the time came.

"I think he might have" Connor said, tilting his head to get a look as Teddy handed the shell over. "Da-Da will definitely be able to tell you for sure," he said with a quick wink at Cutter.

Cutter smiled warmly at that as he closely examined the shell that Teddy had found, “you have found a fossil,” he said proudly, “do you see how the shell is all coiled?” he indicated the pattern, “that means it’s an ammonite,”

"Ammonite...." Teddy said slowly trying to get that one right. "It's really cool! Is it as old as the other one?" he asked.

"I don't think they are as old as trilobites, buddy" Connor said with a grin as he looked over at Cutter with a fond smile. "It is still a really cool one though!"

“I’m afraid not trilobites are hundreds of millions of years old,” Cutter told him, “but ammonites are still very incredible,” he leaned in to give Teddy a hug.
