Status: Closed
Rating: Low
Grantaire opened the door from their room, his hair damp and still wild. He blinked. "Everyone's here, Enjolras."
"We are and we all heard," Courfeyrac said sweetly. "We have dinner for you. Come and refuel. The Pontmercys are on their way too."
Grantaire grinned. "Wonderful." He squeezed Enjolras' hand as he sat down slowly, glancing at him. They had talked about when they might tell everyone now Brooke was past the early part of the pregnancy. Perhaps tonight would be a good time...
--
Enjolras's hair was damp too as he stepped out into the living room.
"Oh, thank you. That sounds wonderful," he said. He took a seat next to Grantaire and looked at him, nodding his head just slightly.
--
Grantaire grinned, focusing on the food. Marius and Cosette arrived, without Fantine. Her grandfather was looking after her to give them some time alone.
"I can't believe you didn't bring the baby," Courfeyrac sighed.
"I'm sorry our company is a disappointment," Marius said with a smile.
"Well, we do love her. And since Combeferre says it's going to be years before she has a playmate...." Courfeyrac sighed again.
Grantaire grinned, glancing at Enjolras. "It isn't," he said.
--
Enjolras grinned back at him. "No, I don't believe it is."
Jehan looked at them and then at Combeferre and Penny. "Are you pregnant?!"
--
Combeferre shook his head, but he suspected that his smile would make that difficult to believe. "No. Penny is not having a baby." He glanced at her just to check.
Grantaire smiled. "We are. Enjolras and I are having a baby."
Courfeyrac's eyes widened. "You - you are?"
--
Penny smiled at him and shook her head.
Enjolras's smile widened. "Yes, we are."
Jehan furrowed his brow. "But.... How? I assume neither of you are pregnant."
--
"Not for lack of trying," Courfeyrac said with a grin.
Grantaire laughed. "No, sadly I cannot carry Enjolras' child. But there have been a lot of medical advancements. Brooke is carrying our baby. She very, very kindly offered and ... We said yes. She is just over three months along, so in six months... We'll be parents." He smiled widely.
--
Enjolras beamed at Grantaire as he spoke.
Jehan smiled widely. "Which of you will be the father? Biologically of course. As you will both be fathers."
"We do not know. There is a fifty fifty chance it will biologically be either of ours."
--
"We are each hoping that it is the other, I think," Grantaire said fondly.
Combeferre beamed. "Congratulations. Both of you." He didn't look surprised at all.
--
Enjolras smiled. "We are I am sure."
Jehan looked at Combeferre. "You don't seem surprised. Did they tell you already?"
--
"They better not have," Courfeyrac said teasingly.
"We didn't. But Enjolras did ask him some questions and Combeferre is smart..."
Combeferre smiled. "I suspected you were considering something of that nature. And you were seeing a lot of Brooke who... Who Penny suspected might be expecting. So I guessed."
--
Enjolras shook his head. "I should try to be more tactful in the future." He was smiling though, too happy to care.
--
"Combeferre can read your mind," Grantaire said fondly.
Combeferre ducked his head. "I would never have said a word."
Marius smiled. "Congratulations," he said, somewhat shyly. "It - it is going to be the most wonderful experience." He smiled fondly. "And Fantine will love her new playmate, I'm sure."
--
Enjolras looked at Marius and nodded his head. "Yes, I expect it will be."
Cosette smiled widely. "You both will make wonderful parents. I am so happy for you both."
--
"We have lots of practice thanks to Fantine," Grantaire said with a smile.
"Ah! I will be this baby's favourite uncle, since I won't have competition from Grantaire," Courfeyrac said.
"There is Combeferre," Grantaire pointed out.
--
Enjolras ducked his head and grinned when Grantaire pointed that out.
"Yes. Or they might spend much time with Fantine and Marius will be their favourite."
--
Marius' eyes widened. "Perhaps, yes." He smiled widely.
Courfeyrac laughed. "I'm so happy for you. Thank you very much for making a baby for me to play with."
Grantaire laughed too. "That is exactly why we are having a child, Courfeyrac. Just for you."
--
Enjolras laughed and put his arm around Grantaire, nuzzling against him. "We are very happy to be having a child together. We didn't even know it was something that was possible until Brooke spoke to us."
--
Marius smiled. "So perhaps Courfeyrac could make a baby of his own and not need to ask us to do it for him."
Courfeyrac raised an eyebrow. "We would still need to ask someone."
--
Enjolras grinned. "True. But you could have a baby of your own too if you found someone willing to."
--
Combeferre smiled. "Yes Courfeyrac. When are you going to make a baby for us?" He asked teasingly.
Courfeyrac paused. "I see your point. Okay, okay!" He glanced at Jehan, wondering if it would be something they would do. He wasn't sure.
--
Jehan smiled back at Courfeyrac. He was open to the idea in the future.
--
Combeferre chuckled. "Enjolras. I am so happy that someday... Our children might grow up together."
--
Enjolras looked at him and beamed. "Yes, I am happy that our children will grow old together. I believe they will be great friends too."
--
Courfeyrac beamed. "Ahh! The next generation. Imagine if your children fell in love and had children of their own? How wonderful would that be?"
Grantaire chuckled. "Oh goodness. That would be wonderful. Enjolras-Combeferre children. Combining their genes - and that of Penny! They would be organising protests before they could even speak."
--
"And what if they are Grantaire-Combeferre and Penny's genes?" Enjolras asked.
--
"Well the Combeferre-Penny genes might balance the Grantaire apathy," he said.
--
"I hope they are your genes, my love," he said, kissing Grantaire's cheek.
--
"And I hope they are yours," Grantaire replied teasingly.
--
"But what matters is they are healthy and happy," he said.
--
"Exactly," Grantaire said. He kissed enjolras' cheek softly.
--
Jehan smiled widely. "You two are so adorable? How are you so adorable?!"
--
Courfeyrac grinned. "They spend so much time with us it was bound to happen."
--
Jehan grinned. "Yes. That is very true," he said.
Enjolras smiled. "Grantaire brings out a different side of me I suppose."
--
Grantaire nuzzled his cheek. He couldn't wait to see what side of Enjolras their baby would bring out.
