    Summary

    Ilya locks eyes with Shane, a small smile playing on the corner of his mouth.
    “I… what?”
    “I want a baby,” he says again, his voice just as definite as it had been the first time.
    “Any one in particular? Harris and Troy’s is very cute.”
    Shane lets out a small laugh as he rolls his eyes, “Yours preferably.”

    or, that time Shane and Ilya decide to have a baby.

    Summary

    “You’re my brother, Ilyusha.” Ilya felt tears begin to prickle behind his eyes at the diminutive. Shane occasionally called him that. Svetlana too. But he hadn’t heard the name in Alexei’s biting tone in what had to have been decades.

    Ilyusha, finish your vegetables, his brother had said, his voice filled with the exhaustion of someone well beyond his years. They had been in their small, dated kitchen back in Moscow, sitting at the table that still had the dirty dishes from yesterday on it. Ilya was practically glaring at his plate, frustratingly pushing around the sorry looking vegetables left from the even sorrier looking meal Alexei had made for them. Their dad had probably been out with another woman and their mom unable to get out of bed, leaving Alexei to make dinner if they wanted to eat even though he had barely been tall enough to reach the kitchen cabinets.

    The last person Ilya expected to hear from again was his brother. He would’ve guessed he’d talk to his parents again before Alexei, and they were dead. But, after Alexei’s wife dies, leaving him a single father to a gay daughter, he reaches out to Ilya.

    Summary

    “It looks like you’re having twins.”

    “What?!” Shane demanded. “That’s not possible.” Ilya burst out laughing, which made Shane want to slap him.

    “This is a joke,” his husband said. “We’re being Punk’d, yes? Where’s Ashton Kutcher?”

    Shane and Ilya get an unplanned surprise the day of their daughter’s birth. Shane is less than amused.
