"Good." Ignis replied with a nod. Nida's idea had merit, but as the man had pointed out, this was going to have to be a collaborative effort. And his husband was definitely on board all of the way, and assist wherever and however he could.

He stood in silence as he silently hoped the addition of Mono would work out. The boy was lovely and Ignis wanted to teach him so many things. He also wanted to see his husband pick him up and carry him around the house and play. Plus there were future chocobo rides, shopping trips, and times where they could be sitting in the garden. There Ignis would be pointing out the constellations to Mono. Adding to his mental list were gardening and cooking lessons that could be had, not to mention the joy of celebrating the holidays together.

But one step at a time.
