Tuck hadn't slept at all. Not since hearing his son Christopher was in the city. He had an address, which was written on a slip of paper he had been clutching in his hand so long, it was kind of damp. He hadn't eaten much either, his stomach far too full of butterflies to fit any food in there. When Will had arrived at his house for the drive over, he had found Tuck at the end of a good four-hour pacing session, where he had been practicing what he was going to say under his breath the entire time.

He was fairly sure whatever he said, it was going to come out really stupid.

He had tried on about five different outfits, until he begged Will to dress him so he didn't have to think about it. By the time they finally made their way to the van, Tuck was fighting with himself internally not to just call the whole thing off.

He made Will drive. His leg jiggled the entire way there. He wrung his hands and tried to go over what he was going to say again and again until he was so lost in his own head, that when the van hit a bump, Tuck was jerked back into reality and he screamed. "Fuck," he put his hand over his heart and he glanced, apologetically, at his boyfriend. "Shit, Will, I'm sorry. I'm a mess."

Will had been watching Tuck slowly unravel since he'd arrived at his place after work. The man was in bits, muttering to himself and not able to button his shirt up straight. Add to that the fact that Tuck had said that every day he thought he might not see his boys again was like dying inside, it was getting quite concerning.

He glanced at Tuck with wide eyes when he screamed going over a pothole. "You need to take some deep breaths or he's never gonna let you in. Are you sure you don't want to call ahead? Give him some warning?" he asked for the tenth time. He was just really worried that a negative outcome tonight would result in Tuck having an honest-to-God breakdown. "Because we're nearly there."

"I don't- I don't want to do it over the phone," Tuck sighed. Yes, calling ahead was probably a good idea, but Tuck literally didn't think he could handle it. He could barely handle breathing. Which Will reminded him to do, so he took several deep breaths. "Oh, god. Oh god, we're almost there? Fuck, fuck-" What if he hates me? "It's fine. It's going to be fine."

	Well of all the- Will shook his head, snorting incredulously as Tuck was hugged within seconds of opening the door. "Well, blow me down," he chuckled to himself. "Like father like son." He pulled out his phone and took a quick photo, then sent that and a message to Stutely. Off to a good start, think it'll be okay 🎉👍😁👍🎉🥳🙌😌 (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Will stood back and watched, a fond smile on his face at Tuck's effervescence as he greeted his daughter. It really was ridiculously heart-warming to watch. Billie hung back a little too, very happy to see her sister-in-law so moved, and she slipped an arm around Dan and gave him a hug just to let some of her emotions slip out a little.

	Billie smiled, touched by his emotion. "You can hold her if she lets you," she said. "She might be a bit shy from just having woken up. Maybe introduce yourself, make her acquaintance. Do you want to be Grandpa? Or Poppa? Grandad? Do you have a preference?" Amelia sat on her mother's lap, curled against her for now, watching his face, curious but cautious.
