I started using Head and Shoulders ten years ago for itchy scalp and dandruff, and then for ten years I have not had itchy scalp and dandruff, so I thought "why do I still buy shampoo to combat itchy scalp and dandruff when I do not have itchy scalp and dandruff," so I stopped buying the shampoo for itchy scalp and dandruff and can you guess I have now? Can you predict what currently afflicts me? It's alright if you can't because apparently I fuckin couldn't either

In the morning they slept in a little later than usual, the conversation and actual processing of the fact that they might have a baby.
Kai and Nya were in the living room when the two adults finally came down to make breakfast, both still in pajamas and watching Tv.
They didn’t give them a glance, eyes fixated on the screen with something akin to worry and fear on their faces.
Cole joins them on the couch-a question about what they were watching halfway out before his eyes widened. “Hey Zane-Pixels on the news.”
Quickly joining his husband on the couch Zane grabs Nya by her waist to seat her on his lap, once his eyes locked with the Tv he understood why Pixel wanted him to watch the news in the morning.
“Hey why don't you both go to the kitchen and we’ll be there soon ok?” Cole brings the kids attention to him and guides them out of the living room leaving Zane with the news.
The headline was staring at him with it’s bold lettering; ‘Brothers found dead in home-baby with CPS-mother not found’ It showed a picture of the family, two slightly older people holding what looks to be an almost nine month baby dressed in a green onesie.
“I gave them some cereal-we gotta tell them soon and call Pixel.” Cole came back with two mugs of coffee. “I mean-it’s probably a coincidence that she's on the news right?”
Zane said nothing as he wordlessly took the cup he was offered, eyes fixated on the tv. The news story continued, talking about how the two brothers were found around 1 am and the baby shortly after-called CPS and placed the baby with the agent(who called them two hours later but the news didn’t know that).
“You good? Because I could go with the kids or get you some toast.” Cole sat next to his husband-barely looking at the tv as it continued it’s story about a supposed break in gone wrong, it said nothing about the mom who no one can find.
“If it helps I could call Pixel and get things set up for a nursery, give you a break.” He made a move to get up but the sign from Zane made him stop.
“I’ll call Pixel and you can order the stuff.” Zane stands up and takes a large sip of his coffee and rests his head on the other man's shoulder. “Just processing things my love.”
Cole just carded his free hand through Zane’s hair before the two finally moved into the kitchen where the kids were trying not to eavesdrop but failing horribly.
They didn’t make eye contact with the adults but the lack of contact told them all they needed to know.
Heaving a sigh the two sat across the 10 and 6 year old who now looked at them with guilt.
“So, we need to talk.”
~*Later*~
Explaining to kids that a baby was coming soon was an interesting thing. Like the five stages of grief but faster and weird coming from two children. For one thing, they didn’t enjoy the fact of a new little brother. (Nya didn’t like it and because she didn’t like it Kai despised it) Then came the bad thoughts, with all things considered that was expected but the two were quick to relieve those thoughts of “replacement”.
While that had been nearly two hours ago, now they were at the store getting things for the nursery and such. Granted when you take a 10 year old shopping after what he believes to be devastating news things are going to be difficult.
As Zane walked the isles with a list of items they would need for a nursery, a store attendant came up to him, a pleasant but somewhat fake smile on her face. “Is there anything I can help you with sir?”
Zane gave her a weak smile, “Yes, i’m sorry it’s just i have no idea with baby things.” he explained pointing helplessly at his list then to the shelf of products.
The store attendant nodded before pointing out a box to him, “Well you’ll need diapers and bottles if you plan on breastfeeding or not.” She shrugged, “The ages are on the box so if you don’t know which one to get it says so.”
Zane nodded before reaching down for a box of diapers and a packet of bottles. “Thank you, do you have a child?”
The store attendant shook her head, “Nah, i’ve just been at this a long time.” Before turning her heel and walking away.
After that things went...smoothly? Seeing as Kai sulked(which in turn put Nya in a bad mood) for a majority of the trip, it wasn’t until later at lunch where it blew up. They went to Skylors place for food and as they started to talk with Skylor all hell broke loose.
After giving them their meals Skylor stuck around to talk, the conversation was mostly about the new baby, Kai who had kept his mouth shut throughout everything and finally let loose.
“Stop talking about the stupid baby!” He yelled, stopping the table’s conversation.
Zane and Cole looked at each other concerned, before giving Kai the same look. “Kai, where did this come from?” Zane asks, leaning forward.
“I’m just sick of all the baby talk! Why do we have to talk about it?” He exclaimed angrily and shoved his bowl away.
The table was silent, unsure what to do. It stayed like that for the rest of the meal and car ride home.
When they got home Kai stomped upstairs to his room immediately.
“I-should we? Or do you-I don’t know?” Cole whispered to Zane, he was at a loss for what to do, Kai hasn’t done something like this before.
“I’ll talk to him, Nya help Cole with the nursery please?” Zane kneeled down to Nya’s height and handed her a small bag with baby things in it.
Nya nodded and took the bag from Zane and moved to hold Cole's hand. “Are you sure? You were so excited to do the room.”
Zane nodded and smiled, “You and Nya start it, I don’t mind.” He stood up, going to the kitchen as the two went upstairs. He took a moment, mind racing. Kai was upset, clearly about the new member that would join them very soon.
Sighing Zane grabbed some fruit snacks he knew the kids loved and went upstairs to Kai’s bedroom. The little boy was sitting on his bed, stuffed dog in his lap, playing with it. He looked up when Zane gently pushed open the door.
“I’m sorry that i yelled at you and Cole at the restaurant.” Kai mumbled, looking down.
Zane sighed and sat next to the boy, “I’m not upset about that, you just got tired of all the baby talk. I was like that when I was younger.”
Kai looked up again, “You did?”
Zane nodded with a small grin, “Yeah, when i was much younger. My baby brother was almost born and I wasn't excited as everyone else was, but I never told my parents.”
Kai frowned, “Why?”
“They we’re always busy and didn’t always have time for me.” Zane explained, “But when my brother was born it changed. They had time for things, and I gained a friend.”
“Like what Nya and me have?” Kai asked with wide eyes.
Zane sighed, “Not really, but what you and Nya have is special. And maybe you both can have something like that with the new baby?”
Kai frowned and shifted away, “I don’t want a new baby here! I like what's happening now!” He pouted.
Zane frowned, “I know you do, but this baby needs a home. I understand if you don’t like it.”
Kai was silent for a moment, eyes downward. “They need a home?” He asks.
Zane nodded, “Everyone needs a home, remember?” Zane moved closer to the boy, wrapping an arm around his waist.
The boy was silent, eyes on the carpet. Kai sighed, “Ok, but i don't like it.” he pouted.
Zane smiled, giving the boy a sideways hug, “Aw baby, that’s alright. These things take time, but that's ok.”
They stayed like that for a short while, Kai enjoying his snack and Zane that they talked about this. Cole came into the room, a hesitant smile on his face. “Hey, Nya and I are almost done with the room, wanna check it out?”
Zane smiled and nodded before turning to Kai, “Wanna see the nursery? You can help with the finishing touches?”
The boy gave a small smile, “Ok.”
The nursery was a very light shade of green, a half done grey crib was on the floor but stuffed animals were on the small alcove the room had. Nya was sitting there, folding the baby blankets they had gotten but smiled brightly when she saw Zane and Kai.
“It’s perfect, i love it.” Zane sighed, leaning into his husband, watching the two kids talk and Nya showing Kai what she was doing.
“It’s all coming together.” Cole murmured and kissed Zane’s head.
