time doesn't take long, three kids up and gone. i wasn't expecting that.
-
Ashton wanted to adopt kids.
Luke agreed,
because Luke wanted Ashton happy.
Ashton made Luke so happy for all of these years.
The couple is in their mid-twenties now.
It's been so long since Luke had those thoughts,
but they're coming back.
Luke hoped that with the addition of three kids to their family, they would go away.

Now the kids are grown up.
Five years later.
Ashton and Luke helped three magnificent children begin their lives as adults.
Very smart, yet beautiful children with bright futures.
The couple adopted the children when they were 12, but that's because neither knew how to change a diaper and didn't want to.
And despite Luke's assumptions about the voices when the two adopted,
they never went away.
In fact, they got worse.
Luke heard them all of the time.
But he had to keep quiet.
Luke didn't want to concern Ashton.
Ashton was always busy at work, and he didn't need to hear that.
To Luke, Ashton doesn't deserve it.
Ashton provides for Luke and loves Luke, and that's all that matters.

But in the end, neither of the two expected that.
Both the voices or the children.
Who knew that the shy boy from the cafeteria and the most popular boy in school would turn out together?
Both of them laughed at this from time to time.
Ashton thought about it when he was at his office.
Luke thought about it while stocking shelves at the grocery store.
And they both smiled at the thought.
They loved each other so much.
Nothing would change that.
And Ashton wish Luke understood that nothing could get in the way of their love.
