Rising from the table, Matt said, "I'm gonna get lunch started."
MJ squeezed TJ's hand. "Sam, you've been awfully quiet" He said. "Did we say or do anything to intimidate you?"
"Not at all!" Sam said. "I've been absorbing the conversation and it actually taught me something about myself. Given my history, I mistakenly thought I needed a daddy's love since I never had a real daddy, but I see you and TJ with your dads and I know what it should be like. Reggie, elevating you to dad status put you in an awkward situation. I don't love you any less, but now, I love you as my man and I hope this doesn't change things between us."
A tear in his eye, Reggie kissed Sam on the cheek, "It changes the dynamic, but not my love for you. To be honest, I fell in love with you as a man, but since you seemed to need a daddy's love, I wasn't about to refuse you. Now, it seems we have something to celebrate too and next time we make love it'll be as lovers."
"Lunch is ready!" Matt exclaimed, passing plates around.
