After eating breakfast, the little family decided to go out to the mall to spend time together as a family. They had never done this before because of the secrecy of their family, so Arthit was nervous.

As Kongpob got the diaper bag and said bye to their parents, Arthit walked Fiat out to Kongpob's car, allowing the little boy to hold his hand as they walked.

Putting Fiat in his car seat and getting him buckled in, Arthit smiled.

He used to be afraid to go anywhere with Fiat because he didn't want anyone to know about him due to fear of the comments others would make, but now... he didn't care. His parents were accepting of his partner and they knew about the new baby (the twin part not withstanding), and his friends knew and had accepted him, his partner and their baby.

He also knew that Kongpob would be there and would do everything he could to keep them all safe. He had known this before, but for some reason it hadn't really sunk in until now. Not that Arthit couldn't protect them, but he just never knew how to deal with others talking about him. Since being a hazer, he had learned so much about himself including the fact that he was strong enough to do this today.

Sliding into the passenger seat, he watched Kongpob stow the diaper bag in the back seat and the stroller in the trunk. Then, Kongpob got in behind the wheel before starting the car.

They buckled in before starting out to the mall.

********

The mall on Sunday was a little crazy and the parking lot was almost full, but they were able to find a parking spot not too far from the main entrance.

Working together, they got Fiat out of the car and into his stroller with the diaper bag hanging from one handle in minutes.

Arthit had to be reminded several times not to pick up Fiat, so he settled for helping by getting the smaller things done like the diaper bag out of the car, unbuckling Fiat and watching to make sure the little boy climbed out of the car safely.

Kongpob was the one to get the stroller out and set up and to get Fiat in and buckled.

Reaching down, Kongpob grabbed Arthit's hand.

"I know it's hard not to help or even do some things on your own, but remember, it's to keep the babies safe."

The gentle way he said this made Arthit smile. He really didn't like not being able to help out, but he also knew that Kongpob was right.

They walked out of the parking garage toward the main entrances of the mall.

********

Walking around the mall for the next hour, they had fun seeing how Fiat reacted to seeing all the people around them.

He would spot a new person and immediately start saying hi and waving like he knew them. Most of them would wave and smile before continuing on their way with no comments. But there had been a few people who had waited to pass them before commenting to whoever they were there with. Arthit could still hear the comments that had been made.

"I wonder if they are together?"

"That's disgusting"

"Who did they steal that baby from?"

"One of them must have been unfaithful, then stole the baby from the mother."

"Why do they have to flaunt their abnormality in public?"

The words kept ringing in his ears and echoing through his mind even as he kept up with his boyfriend and son.

Arthit was walking beside Kongpob, looking into another store window when he felt Kong take one of his hands. Threading their fingers together, Kongpob leaned toward Arthit as he turned to look at him.

"Don't think about them. I think they are just jealous of me getting to be with you."

Arthit barked out a laugh, relaxing immediately.

"You know that's not true. If they were jealous of anyone it would be jealous that they can't have you, Mr. Campus Moon."

Kongpob smiled at that. Glancing at his watch, he saw that it was 11:30.

"So are we ready to go get lunch? What do we want?" Kong asked, leaning over to look at Fiat.

"How about that place we went to the first time we met? We haven't been there in a while and Fiat's never been there." Arthit suggested.

"That sounds good." Kongpob agreed before they headed in that direction.

Just as the restaurant came into view, Arthit heard someone yell.

"Hey, Kong!"

They both turned toward the person who shouted and was heading in their direction.

M stopped next to the stroller and smiled at the little boy inside.

"Hey, M. What are you doing here? Are you here alone?" Kongpob asked, looking around. M immediately looked a little embarrassed, but shook his head anyway.

"No. I am... on a date." M admitted, shifting from one foot to the other. Arthit watched as he wrung his hands and a blush moved up his face.

"Oh? You finally told May how you feel?" Kongpob asked with a smile.

"Actually, no. It's not May. But I didn't come over to get interrogated about my date. Where are you three headed?" He quickly changed the subject.

"Oh, we are going to eat lunch now. Then we will probably go shopping. Where are you and your date heading?" Kongpob asked.

Fiat started getting impatient at that moment, so Arthit knelt to keep him entertained while Kong continued to talk to his friend. That was apparently a bad idea.

"We are going to a movie right now. We just finished eating brunch. Are you alright?" M immediately asked when he noticed Arthit suddenly grab his stomach.

Kong looked down toward his boyfriend and noticed the pained expression on his face. He crouched to help the man up as Arthit continued to clutch his middle.

"Yes, I am fine. Just a little.. hungry." Arthit tried to mask his pain from the other men, but Kongpob could tell that something wasn't right.

"We should go and eat now. You have fun on your date. You better tell me how it goes later." Kong said before directing Arthit and the stroller toward the restaurant. He waited as M walked off in the direction of the theater and noticed another person standing at the entrance.

'Is that...?' He shook his head. 'It can't be'.

Turning back to his boyfriend, he noticed that Arthit looked to be feeling better.

"What happened?"

"It was really nothing. The babies just decided to kick me in the bladder and the kidney at the same time. They may still be small, but it still hurt. Let's go eat, I really am hungry." Arthit said, motioning to the restaurant that was only a few steps away. Kongpob nodded, pushing the stroller in front of him.

Parking the stroller off to the side of the entrance, they grabbed the diaper bag and got Fiat out of his seat.

It didn't take long to get settled into a booth and Fiat into a highchair. Kongpob noticed Arthit looking around with a worried expression on his face, so he reached over to take his hand. He didn't say anything, but he didn't have to. Arthit could tell that he was worried about him again.

Before Kong could move his hand, the waitress approached with a note pad. Arthit quickly jerked his hand away.

"Oh, don't mind me. Hi, little one. I just have to say that he is so cute." The woman said, leaning over Fiat for a moment.

Arthit braced himself for a comment or question about Fiat's mother, but none came.

"Thanks." Kongpob replied. She straightened to look at the couple.

"So what can I get for you?"

Arthit relaxed at that question and told her what he wanted.

Kongpob ordered for himself as well as for Fiat, while the woman wore it all down.

After ordering, Kongpob and Arthit watched Fiat as he noticed more and more people around them, talking to them even when the people would ignore him.

Arthit smiled after their food was placed in front of them because Fiat immediately dug into the food with both hands. Lucky, the waitress had made sure the boy's food wasn't hot when it was set in front of him.

They let him have fun making his mess, while they enjoyed their meal.

About an hour later, Arthit cleaned up their son while Kongpob went to pay for the food.

"So, what do you want to do now?" Kongpob asked as he rejoined his little family.

"I think M had a good idea. So how about we head to see a movie? Fiat has never been before." Arthit suggested as he finished fighting with Fiat about cleaning his face.

Kongpob nodded as he plucked Fiat out of the high chair.

Looking at the movie options, they found a movie about a dog that looked good and they thought Fiat might like and went to buy the tickets. It wouldn't start for another half an hour, but they decided to sit near the theater to wait.

A/N: Hey! Hope you didn't think I had abandoned this story! But it will probably be done in the next 10 chapters or less.

Hope you enjoyed this chapter!!
