    Summary

    Alex squats down in front of her and takes her hands. He speaks in the slow, calm, yet mildly threatening tone of an experienced parent. “Sweetie, pick a pair of shoes. I don’t care if they’re snow boots. Just put them on so we can go.” He stands up and heads toward the doorway. “Your daddy’s gonna lose his damn mind if we don’t leave in the next two seconds,” he mutters.

    Summary

    Single parent Alex has everything going for him - he's got a good job with the Okonjo House Shelter in New York. His son Frankie has just started school. And he has enough free time to take on some pro-bono cases with Luna & Westbrook.

    Henry, single and not quite ready to mingle (thank you very much), crushes from afar until a baby is left with the Okonjo House Shelter. More precisely: with Henry. Who doesn't know much about babies, to be fair. Lucky for him, he knows a pretty competent single dad.

    Navigating parenthood, self-discovery, and self-worth, can Alex and Henry find the same orbit?

    ===

    Alex’s mornings start the same way now.

    Once, in law school, it would have been: wake up, consume enough caffeine to fund a small country, get in a last minute cram, and maybe kiss his then-girlfriend goodbye to get in extra time in the library.

    Priorities are different now.
    ----
    Infants, Henry knows, have cries designed to make sure they are noticed because they need other humans to help the person who’s given birth. This is a thing that Henry knows, it’s something the shelter learned in getting qualified for him and Pez to qualify as a Safe Haven in New York.

    Summary

    “Are you... are you still attracted to me?” Alex blurts out, and he keeps his eyes locked on the wardrobe in front of him, 'refuses to turn around to see the pity he knows will be lacing Henry’s demeanor like cloyed honey.

    It’s quiet for all of a moment and Alex can picture his boyfriend behind him as he hears rather than sees him set his book down on his nightstand before sitting up more, ‘can picture the duvet pooling around his waist.

    “Of course I am Alex, what on earth gave you any indication that said otherwise?” Henry asks incredulously

     

    Or: Henry's been ignoring Alex's advances on him for a few weeks now. Alex gets in his head about it. Henry explains what's really going on.

    Or: Henry's meds were changed and he's dealing with one of the side effects (sex drive)
