Jeff knew his husband, probably better sometimes than even Nick knew himself, and the fact was, the same could very much be said of Nick. The pair of them had been inseparable for years, even long before they'd fallen in love, become boyfriends, lovers, and eventually, husbands. And in that, Jeff knew that this particular talk really wasn't helping put Nick's mind at ease about the concept of having another baby. Jeff knew it was coming across as him just being bouncing-off-the-walls Jeff and something along the lines of "OMG BABIES YAY!" But the fact was that he truly just loved being a father. He loved it more than anything he'd ever done in his life, and he wanted to be able to do that again one day.
"I thought... I thought it was what we wanted," Jeff finally said in response to Nick's question. "Even after we came out, we always talked about the possibility that we might have kids together someday. Kids. And yeah, I know my sister having our baby would be kind of weird, but it doesn't have to be her. I'm just saying that Dani isn't our only option for a surrogate. And Nicky, I'm happy with Nat, too. She is so much more than I ever dreamed of or expected to ever have in our lives. We are blessed. Beyond blessed, even. But I never dreamed that being a full-time Daddy would be something I'd love as much as I do." Pausing, Jeff had a sudden thought, that he realized would probably come out just looking like more of his ADHD moments (and probably was one of said moments in all honesty), but it was something that clicked in his head. "What if we adopted, babe?" He paused again, realizing that he wasn't putting any of Nick's concerns to rest, or even beginning totally to address them. "I'm sorry. Maybe I just assumed that we'd have more kids. I'm not trying to be a pain in the ass or anything, Nicky. This is just... It's something that's really seriously been on my heart for a long time, and I don't... I don't just want it to be a big No way, Jeff without us at least thinking about it."
