STORYTIME!

Patton was always a family man, but he never expected it to be this hard! He didn't even have q kid of his own yet! He was just watching Dee's set of twins! Patton always went on and on about how he wanted to adopt many children to his husband Logan, but he can barely keep track of Roman and Remus! He was so tired and the week of watching over the boys was almost up. Patton felt bad for hoping for it to be over. Again, he never expected looking after a couple of rugrats would be this hard!

Logan walked down the steps to see his very tired husband slumping on the couch, not worrying about his posture to make him look taller than his fun-sizedness allows. Logan chuckled to himself, knowing that he was right like always. Patton was the kind of man who would bite off a lot more than he could chew, figuratively and literally. He takes way too big of bites into sandwiches and hamburgers. He almost made himself choke well over twice. Logan sat down next to his husband, wearing that knowing smirk on his face. Patton sighed.

"You overworked yourself, didn't you love?"

Patton didn't respond, he was just focusing on getting his breathing normalized. That gave Logan all the answer he needed. Patton had worked himself to exaighstion over the course of this week looking after Dee's troublesome twins: Roman and Remus. Logan handed Patton an armpillow from where he sat on the couch, which Patton hugged tightly and used to give him motivation to sit upright. He slouched over the pillow and looked down. What was going on in his beautiful mind?

"Logan, I know I said I really want kids and I know I said it would all be worth it when you told me I'd be exaughsted, but I... I failed. I can't do it.I really want kids and I really wanna was the best daddy ever for them, but I'm not ready. I know I begged you and promised that I was ready, but I'm really not. I'm not ready for kids. I'm tired and I want to cry and I really donr want to get up from this spot for a few months. I'm sorry Logan... I made you do something you didn't want for no good reason..."

Logan stared at his husband for a moment as he confessed his feelings of inadequacy. Logan pursed his lips together, trying to figure out what exactly he needed to say to show Patton just how wrong he is. 

"Patton, I know I was reluctant at first, and you know how much I adore being right, however I had never been more glad to be around young children. I found myself enjoying this experience babysitting the twins, much unlike what I originally thought. I am aware of your fatigue and I suggest making a compromise until you are, in fact, ready to adopt a child of our own. How about when we return Roman and Remus to Dee, we go and visit the local animal shelter."

Patton would normally perk up and start screaming with excitement at the fact they might be getting a pet, however he was too tired to do more than smile warmly and pump his fist in the air weakly in victory. In a way, Patton was right. They should adopt someone to take care of and love. Patton had always been a family man, reiterating from the very beginning of the oneshot. Perhaps they were always meant for a dog. That was a wonderful compromise.
