Julian smiled stabbing a piece of chicken wish his fork and shoving it in his mouth. The boy bounced in his seat as he chewed his food. "I drawled a dinosaur and Mommy and Cole and Sophia." He said, his eyes widening impossibly huge at the mention of a gift, quickly turning his attention to his plate of food. Molly grinned, setting down her fork. The thing about cooking dinner was, you weren't very hungry afterwards. She leaned her elbow on the table, her chin in her hand, looking Tad. "You're just full of surprises today." Molly said. She found it really sweet that he had even thought about Julian, gave her a warm feeling in her chest.

Tad smiled at him again, "Wow, I bet that those were awesome drawings. I wish that I could have seen them!" He licked his lips and let his arms lay in a crossed position at the edge of the table. He smiled at the boy's reaction to his words and looked over at Molly. He shrugged at her statement and held his hand out for her to hold if she chose. "I got a raise last week. So I figured what's the harm in spoiling my two favorite people for a day?" He gave her another smile and then looked at Julian. He was going to town on his dinner, "Slow down a little, Roscoe, you don't wanna choke."

Molly placed her hand in his, squeezing it with a small smile on her face. It was times like these that she loved the post, the times that they could just be. No expectations or things to be done. Then again, every moment she spent with him proved to be great. Julian picked up his glass of milk, gulping it down quickly. When he lowered it to the table again, his upper lip had a milk mustache. It seemed that when the boy couldn't seem to get any cuter, he managed to do just that. Julian giggled and grinned a toothy grin. "Done!" He said, doing a fist pump. Molly leaned closer to his plate, a teasing smile playing on her lips. "Are you sure about that?" She said, "I think I see something on that plate..." Julian quickly looked down at the plate, before his eyes traveled back to his mother. "Silly Mommy, I think you need glasses."

Tad held onto her hand happily. He loved this. The feeling of being wanted and appreciated. It wasn't as if it were a new feeling, butt here it felt even better. He loved these two. They were wonderful and perfect in his eyes. He laughed as he watched the little boy gulp down the remainder of his milk. The milk mustache was adorable and he laughed again, pulling out his phone. "Why don't you give me a smile, Julian?" he asked, taking a picture of him when he did. "Awesome." He laughed again at their mother-son conversation. "He is too smart for us, Molly." He pulled a small Hot Wheels Corvette out of his pocket. "Here's your present, but I want you to know that this is a Vette. The coolest cars that exist. This one is really special too. Just for you." He smiled and set the toy car in front of him.

Molly wanted to cry when Tad pulled out his phone and took a picture of her son. It was such an adorably sweet gesture, one which he probably had no idea it meant so much to her. Just seeing them together, it made her so happy. When she met Tad, she never expected that they would come this far. Just seeing the evidence of it was enough to make the emotion course through her. "He is getting too smart, I'm going to have to find better hiding places for the Christmas presents." Molly shook her head, grinning. The smile that formed on her son's face was enough to bring tears to her eyes, but she blinked them away. Julian took the toy car and held it close to his face, inspecting it. "Really? The coolest?" He asked, looking at Tad. "Thank you!"

Looking at his girlfriend, he chuckled again. "If you have to you can hide them at my apartment." He winked at her, then looked back at the little boy, "He'll never find them there!" He smiled again at the boy's reaction to the car. "You're very welcome, kid. Maybe one day we'll get the real thing and you can ride around in it with me." He sat back in his chair and let out a sigh. "Molly, this dinner was delicious. Thank you very much."

Molly laughed, giving him a happy smile. "I'll have to keep that in mind." She rose from her seat and leaned down to pick up Julian from his seat. She picked up a napkin, wiping his face. "You think you got any of that in your mouth?" She teased, giggling. Molly looked at Tad when he spoke, smiling again. It made her happy to know that he was thinking about the future, and they seemed to be part of it. Even all these months later, she still didn't know how she managed to stumble on such a good guy. It was like he never seized to make her more and more happy with each day that passed. "Would you like that, Julian?" Molly asked, looking at her son. The boy nodded, smiling.
She looked at the clock on the stove, noting the time. "I suppose I should this one into a bath." Molly said, poking the boy lightly in the side. "Thank you." She said in response, leaning down and placing a kiss on Tad's lips and flicking the bill of his his hat as she walked away. Molly would get to the dishes later.

Tad smiled, watching as she cleaned her little boy's face and he nodded as she said she'd need to get him in the bath. He took her kiss willingly and smiled immediately after. "I'm going do our dishes and get the dinner mess cleaned up," he said as she flicked his hat and started away. He stood and picked up all three plates. He walked to the sink and cleared any small morsels that were left into the trash before he quickly rinsed the plates and forks and loading them in the dishwasher. He did the same with the pans after he had put any leftovers into a container and put it in the fridge. He smiled at his work and then pulled two wine glasses from the cabinet and got the wine from the fridge. He picked up the roses with his other hand and headed up to Molly's room to put everything there so it would be ready for them when Julian was in bed.

Molly got Julian into the bath a few minutes later, soapy suds and toys floating around him. She picked up some of the bubbles and blew them out of her palm and into the air, causing the little boy to giggle. Squeezing some of his shampoo into her hand, she rubbed her palms together and began to rub it into his hair. Julian just played with his toys, little car sounds coming out of his mouth as he ran a car along the edge of the tub. "Tip your head back for me, love." She said, filing a cup up to rinse his hair. "Eyes tight!" She waited for him to close his eyes. "Are they tight?" The boy nodded. She poured the water on his head and finished cleaning him up. After getting him dried off, Molly dressed him in his Cars pajamas and took his hand so they could find Tad. "Were going to say goodnight to Tad and get you to bed, little man."

Once he put everything safely in Molly's room, he stepped out and heard her say his name he smiled, "I'm in here, Molly." He was right beside the bedroom door still and he crossed his arms at the little boy, "Look at you all clean. Are those Cars P.J's? I'm so jealous right now. Do you know that I have wanted Car's Pajamas for a long time, but they don't come in my size!" He opened his eyes wide for emphasis. He bent down on one knee and smiled. "Good night, buddy. Can I get a hug?" he asked, opening his arms wide to the little blonde boy that he had fallen in love with along with his mother.

Molly turned at the sound of his voice and smiled involuntarily. He had that effect on her, she couldn't keep the smile off of her face if she tried, and that smile never seemed to go away. She walked them over to Tad and released Julian's hand when he knelt down. Julian nodded when he asked for a hug, and wrapped his arms around Tad's neck. "You can borrow mines if you want to." He said, giggling. "I don't mine sharing. Goodnight!" The things her son did to melt her heart would never stop, Molly knew that. And when Tad was involved in those little things? It just made them so much more valuable to her.

Tad wrapped his arms around the small boy and smiled. "Awesome. I might have to take you up on that." He turned his head to the side and kissed Julian's hair softly. "Alright, buddy. Sleep tight. I'll see you later." He winked at him and then stood up so that Molly could take him to bed. He smiled and wondered what he had done to deserve these two wonderful people in his life. He knew it wasn't easy to come by people who you fall in love with overnight. He wanted this. He wanted to be a family. Maybe not officially, yet, but the thought of it happening sent the flutters to his stomach. He started humming a soft lullaby his mother used to sing to him. One that he'd always hoped to sing to his kids.

Molly bent down and picked up her son, settling him on her hip. She gave Tad a small smile over her should as she walked away from and down the hall to Julian's room. "Goodnight Tad!" Julian called, waving his tiny hand. If she were lucky, it wouldn't take Julian too long to fall asleep. She really just wanted to kick back and relax. As much as she loved her son, he was very good at tiring her out. Dropping the little one lightly on his bed, Molly went to turn off the light and flip the switch on his night light. The small boy was still scared of the dark and had a hard time being alone, he still hadn't outgrown the habit of coming into her room at night but he had gotten better with it. She settled onto the floor beside his bed at looked up at him. "Which one do you want to hear tonight?" She asked, smiling. Every night she told Julian a story, most often the one about the lost baby lion. As expected, that was the one he asked for. Halfway through the familiar story though, Molly was interrupted. "Mommy?" Julian asked. "Yeah, honey?" "Is Tad going to be my daddy?" He son's innocent question stumped her and sent her mind into a frenzy. She knew she would have to face this question someday, she just didn't know it would be so soon. Molly thought about her words carefully, and prayed that Tad hadn't heard Julian. The last thing she wanted was things to become complicated. She also knew though, now that the damn had been opened, she wouldn't be able to ignore it, whether he had heard Julian or not. "Sweetie," Molly said, "I don't think so." It hurt to say it, but she had no idea where they stood on the long term front. "But you know what, he really cares about you and that wont ever change." They boy just nodded. She gave him a reassuring smile, despite the emotions that were at war within her. She eventually got Julian to close his eyes and when his breathing began to even out she slowly stood. She could only hope she had handled it well. With trepidation, she slowly walked out of his room, closing the door quietly before leaning against it with closed eyes.

Tad simply grinned, "Goodnight, Julian," he said, giving him a little wave. He figured he would just be in the way if he was in the room with Molly, so he instead walked back to her room and changed into a pair of basketball shorts that he'd left over there in the months that they had been together. He was much more comfortable now and he walked over to a shelf that housed the movies, figuring they would put one in and talk through it like they usually did. He licked his lips and plucked one off the shelf that they hadn't watched in a while and set it beside the bottle of wine. He heard the door close to Julian's room, so he left and walked through the hallway. He saw her leaned against the door and licked his lips, slightly confused. "Are you alright?" he asked quietly, so he didn't wake the little boy in the bedroom. He stepped up a little closer and let his hands touch her waist gently. "Hey, what's wrong?"

Molly closed her eyes tighter when she heard his voice. She couldn't pretend that everything was okay, could she? It wasn't fair to lead him on when everything could have been up in flames how she saw it. Blowing out her breath, she shook her head slightly. Before, she would have been perfectly content with the way things were. She was happy with the way things were, simple and easy. Natural. It was amazing how you could throw a kid in the mix and it could make things so complicated you no longer knew which way was up. Molly opened her eyes, making no attempt to mask the confusion that could be seen there. "Where is this going?" She asked, looking up at him.
