《Secrets Kept》A new chapter

The silence didn't last long. Kongpob's smile hadn't faded at all when he turned to look at Arthit.
"We are having a baby! Fiat is going to be a big brother."
Arthit had finally stopped crying by this point and a smile appeared on his face at this comment. He could see how excited and happy Kongpob was about this news. He was too, but it hadn't fully sunk in yet.
"So we will need to come up with names. I remember how hard it was to come up with Fiat's name. And we will need to tell our parents, at least." As he said this, Arthit could feel himself start to panic again. He really didnt know how their parents were going to take this news.
"Hey, we don't have to tell them right away. We should wait a little bit. If I remember right, the first 12 weeks are the most dangerous time for the baby. So, most likely you are about 4 weeks along, that means we have 8 weeks that we can wait. So take a breath and calm down." Kongpob rubbed his hand up and down Arthit's back. He watched at the older man did as he asked.
Once he saw that Arthit was calmer, he places a finger under his chin to make him look up."Don't forget that I love you and both of our babies. That will never change. So no matter what happens with your friends, my friends, or either of our parents, you can always count on me."
"I love you, too. I will do my best to remember what you said. But if I need a reminder..." Arthit said with a look of mischief at Kongpob. This caused Kong to laugh just ask there was a knock on the door.
The ultra sound showed that the baby was only 3 weeks and 5 days, which was about what they figured.
After they left the doctor's office, they immediately went to the pharmacy to pick up the vitamins Arthit would need.
As they perused the vitamin isle, a sudden thought occurred to Arthit, so he turned to Kongpob. "I just realized, we are having another spring baby. Fiat was born at the end of May and this baby is due June 8th. This baby will be born just after Fiat turns 2."

Kong was silent for a moment before he nodded, "Wow. That's true. You know what this means, right?" He waited for Arthit to shake his head before continuing, "This means we have to be more careful in September." This drew a bark of laughter from Arthit making Kongpob smile.
Shaking his head, Arthit turned back to the selection in front of him, selecting the item needed and placing it into the basket Kongpob was holding.
They also grabbed something to eat for the rest of the day, because they planned to stay at Kong's dorm and hang out. He knew they would probably talk about the baby, what they hoped for this time, as well as baby names.
With that thought, Arthit led Kongpob over to the book section. Finding a baby names book, he placed that into the basket as well, glancing at Kong. He nodded and they went to pay for their items.
They arrived at Kongpob's dorm and put everything away. Arthit finally fell onto the bed with a sigh, snuggling into the soft blankets with a sigh. Kongpob watched him for a moment before crawling to lay next to him on his side. After a moment like that, Kong reached over and placed his hand on top of Arthit's abdomen.
"I can't believe this. We are having another baby. How did I get so lucky? I got you to pay attention to me and then love me. Which I thought would be impossible. Then we found out about Fiat. And now this baby is on the way." Arthit watched tears gather in his usually calm and collected boyfriend's eyes. He covered the hand on his flat belly.
"Hey, you got me to pay attention to you with your persistence. Remember at the beginning, I would ignore your flirting comments and change the subject everytime." Arthit smiled and shook his head, remembering several moments where this happened.
At first he thought the comments were done accidentally without Kongpob realizing what he was saying. Later, he realized the comments were meant to be flirty, but each time Kongpob would say one, Arthit would pause to give his heart a moment to calm down before changing the subject. He hadn't wanted to admit that they made him very aware of the other man.

The first time he had responded to a flirt... Arthit smiled at the memory.
Flashback
Arthit and Kongpob had agreed to meet up today at the mall in their usual place, so that is where he was waiting. This was the first time he had beat Kongpob to this spot, which surprised him. It had been a month since he had met the younger man and he had grown more and more attracted to him, but he was still unsure of how to let him know that his feelings were more than friends.
He jumped when he felt hands on his shoulders, spinning to see who it was. He relaxed when he saw Kongpob standing there grinning. He knew he hated being startled, but there wasn't anything Arthit could do to stop him.
"Chill, it's just me."
"Kongpob, why do you insist on scaring me so much? You know I hate it."
"Yes, but it gives me a reason to lay hands on you like I want to." Kongpob's flirty comment caused Arthit to respond without thought.
"Well, that's not how I want you to lay your hands on me."
As soon as it came out of his mouth, he realized what he had done. With a grimace, he turned away, hoping Kongpob would ignore it. Unfortunately, that wasn't how the younger man worked. Arthit's forward movement was stopped by a hand grabbing his wrist and spinning him around. Now facing the man he didn't want to admit he liked, he realized that the smile of Kongpob's face wasn't one of mocking. It was the flirty smile Arthit was getting used to.
"Wait. Please explain what you meant by that."
"Nothing. Let's just..."
"No. I want to know what you meant by that. I have been flirting with you this whole time, but this is the first time you have responded to one of my flirts."
Arthit sighed. "Alright. I.. ummm... Let's go sit down first." He said, gesturing to an empty bench a few feet away. Kongpob nodded and they walked over to do just that. When they were settled, Arthit took a deep breath.
"Okay. You want to know what I meant. It's pretty simple. I like you. As in more than a friend." Arthit watched Kongpob's expression, so he saw when confusion crossed his face. "I have tried to ignore my feelings, even tried to ignore the comments that I thought were flirty, as I didn't think you meant them as I was taking them. I hope you don't hate me now. I don't want to lose you as a..." Arthit was silenced by Kongpob putting his hand over his mouth.
"No. I don't hate you. And... I don't want to be your friend. I have been flirting with you so hard since we met and I was beginning to think you didn't realize it. Glad to know that you understood. And just so you know, I like you, too and not as a friend. So what are we going to do about this?"
Arthit waited for Kongpob to remove his hand, but when he didn't do so immediately, he opened his mouth and slid his tongue out.
He licked Kong's hand. This caused Kong's eyes to widen and he jerked his hand away. The younger man's eyes widened and Arthit could see the interest flair in their depths. After a moment, Kongpob reached out and took Arthit's hands.
"So... We both like each other.. as more than friends. Would you.. be interested in us dating? I want to see where this could go." Kongpob asked, squeezing Arthit's hand gently. It took Arthit a moment to calm his heart. This was actually better then he thought the day would go. He took a deep breath.
"Yes. I would like to be your boyfriend."
A/n: from now on, not much will be in cannon order or play out the same way.
