"You couldn't have offered me the baby instead?" Spencer teases, already pushing himself to his feet and planting a firm kiss to Joel's cheek, followed by a much softer one to the top of Dane's head. He doesn't expect a legitimate answer, mostly because he already knows what it is and besides, if their positions had been reversed, there'd ben no way Spencer would be willing to give up the weight of their baby in his arms in favor of seeing who's behind the door.

This is his life now, he thinks, glancing over his shoulder for another glimpse of his husband and son before he reaches the main hallway. This is what life is going to be like, falling in love over and over again with this gift, this baby who's made him happier than he ever thought possible in just a few days' time. He never would have imagined that things could get better after Joel, after marrying him and promising to spend the rest of their lives together, but this... This isn't something he could have understood until it'd happened and now, everything is different. Everything feels perfect.

When he sees Raleigh behind the door, all Spencer can do is beam for a moment before making room for her to come inside. "I'm glad you made it over," he says, keeping his voice low, and he knows there's not a chance Raleigh would have declined the chance to meet the baby, but his words are genuine all the same. "He's been fussy all morning, but Joel finally got him to sleep. It's actually such a good time to meet him, and they're in the living room. Follow me."
