Instead of responding straight away, Lorenzo's mouth sought out Lewis' lips in a tender and loving kiss that he let linger. He breathed in Lewis' scent, let himself bask in the warmth of their bodies together. They were doing this together and that was the only thing that mattered here. Never in a million years did he ever expect to have a partner like Lewis, let alone a marriage he felt was a beautiful and healthy thing. He never even expected to have a child, but Holly was just as much part of the both as if they could have conceived her together had their anatomy allowed it.

"It means a lot to me that you're talking to me about this, darlin'. I know it ain't easy, and I know you don't want to have any of this dredged up for you. None of this is a huge shock, Lew. Not you thinking about this now you're older, or grieving for what you can't have. It's normal, and it's natural, given the circumstances." He took Lewis' hand and laced their fingers together. He liked seeing Lewis wear his wedding ring. Even that wasn't conventional. Lewis ring was blue titanium with a diamond, and Lorenzo's was white titanium with a sapphire. They were like the Yin and Yang, only in ring form. They never took them off. "Do you want to talk about having another baby? Or did you only want that if you could biologically father one? Don't worry, I won't be upset if that was it. I would've loved to have another with your genes."
