Roan was a bit confused at what Rafe could possibly be wanting to ask him about. He couldn't even think of any possible thing Rafe could ask him that he could possibly know about. "Um... who told you about this subject?" Maybe that would give him at least a little hint. If not, he would just have to wait until after dinner, but the way Rafe at slow was worrying him a little bit.

"I know one baby is little, but I wonder if it feels a lot lighter than two," Hikaru said, knowing that he could probably just looked up the question of the phone anyway. He took a bite of his food once Alex was seated. "This is really good. Have you made this before?"

“Hikaru,” Rafe said as he continued to eat his food but at about the usual pace he usually ate at. He could tell Roan was a bit confused as to what he was trying to talk about but he also didn’t want to upset him so that’s why he was trying to bring it up as delicately as he could. He was afraid that he’d get upset now at hearing who had told him about this specific topic/subject.

“I honestly couldn’t say but maybe it would be lighter than two,” Alex said in reply with a small shrug before cutting his chicken before eating it and then hearing what Hikaru said and asked last. “Thanks and I have but not yet with you before today. I guess those were just practice rounds for this,” he said in reply with a small embarrassed smile before having his attention go back to his food.

Roan's eyes widened when he heard Rafe's answer. That meant that Rafe could be asking him about anything, and he wasn't sure if he was ready for that. "What did he tell you about?" he asked as he looked over at Rafe, relatively calm at the moment. Roan just needed to figure out what the topic was now.

"Well it's really good, and I'm sure the twins would agree," Hikaru said with a smile as he ate his food. It was so good, and he was glad that Alex had made it. "Don't let me forget to show you something after dinner, okay?" He was a bit worried that he would forget.

“Um something along the lines of the time when we weren’t together,” Rafe said in reply softly but not looking at Roan because he thought for sure this time he would be upset now at hearing that little tidbit and would feel bad for bringing it up if it would. He continued to eat his food after he said what he did until he finished it and then just continued to drink the drink that he had gotten for himself before their order came in from the local Chinese place.

“Well thank you. I try to make good food especially for you and the twins,” Alex said in reply with a smile before going back to eating his food and also turning his attention to it. He had just swallowed another bite of their dinner when he heard what Hikaru asked him and nodded before saying in reply with a curious expression on his face now, “Okay.” He wondered what it could be but would wait until after they were done eating to find out.

"Did he tell you about the time when we tried being a couple, but it ended so terribly that it ended up being a joke?" Roan asked as he ate his food. He remembered how horribly awkward that was, glad that they ended up being just friends. When he was done, he reached over and picked up his cute, little baby and held him close to his chest.

When Hikaru was done eating, he picked up his plate and took it to the sink to rinse off and put inside of the dishwasher before going back to the table to sit down. "Don't worry. It's nothing bad. It's actually good news that I'm sure you will enjoy hearing about."

“It might have been that but he didn’t go into a whole lot of detail about it,” Rafe said in reply before finishing eating his food and drinking his tea. He stayed sitting down at the table for now but would move to start cleaning up when Roan was done with his own food. When he saw that his plate was empty, he picked it up along with his own, and then rinsed them both off slightly before putting them in the dishwasher. “Would you like anything more to drink?” he asked as he sat back down at the table.

“Oh okay but now you have me even more curious about what it’s about,” Alex said in reply before finishing eating his own food and then also bringing his plate over to rinse and then place in the dishwasher. He then went back over to the table and sat back down in his seat.

"So what did he bring up?" Roan asked as he moved to pick Kai up and snuggle him close. "Do you think I could have half a glass of wine? I feel like I may need it depending on what the topic is."

Hikaru thought for a second before taking Alex's hand and leading him to their bedroom, laying down on the bed before bringing Alex's hand to his stomach. "Wait..." he said softly, waiting for a kick.

[Shadowfax278]

“I’m you being on the streets before he found you and took you in,” Rafe said a bit hesitantly before nodding about what he said about wine before going into the kitchen and getting out a glass before filling it halfway with red wine. He then brought it back over to him to drink before sitting back down beside him.

Alex went with Hikaru to their room where he was laid down next to him and his hand put over the former’s stomach before he was told to wait. He did so and a few minutes later felt a kick and then another one right after the first. His eyes widened slightly before asking, “They’re kicking?”

[rosemilly]

Roan let out a sigh when he heard what Rafe said, taking the wine and just sipping a tiny bit of it. "What about it?" he asked as he bounced Kai gently on his knee as he took sips of the glass of wine. "What did Hikaru tell you?"

Hikaru smiled, nodding his head. "Yeah, they are," he said with a smile as he put his hand on top of Alex's that was on his belly.

“Hikaru told me to ask you about it but other than that didn’t say anything else about it,” Rafe said in reply to both of Roan’s questions before sipping his own drink of pink lemonade that he had gotten for himself around the same time that he had poured half of a glass of wine for the former.

“They’re pretty strong kicks. I’m wondering if we’d have some athletes in a couple of years,” Alex said in reply with a smile while using the fingers of his other hand to stroke Hikaru’s hand that was on top of his over his stomach.
