Bobby nodded, finally picking up the cigarette and lighting it. He took a few drags, then spoke softly, pained by every word he had to say, he'd always expected more from Leo than what he'd gotten two days ago.
"If I'm ya other half, that makes me ya equal. Equal. Not one of us better or more than the other. If I'm ya's, then ya mine, not one of us better or more than the other." He licked his lips and hang his head as he continued. "And if Mel's ours, then we're her's. Not a one of us better or more than the other. With all that, that makes this baby ours, all three of us."
He lifted his head and looked hard at Leo, his voice breaking as he whispered. "Means we gotta decide together. We ain't like ya whores or ya servants, Leo. Ya can't just dictate and expect us to jump. We're all three equal. We gotta make this choice together."
He blinked slowly, tears finally coming to his eyes. He wanted to touch his husband, to hold him and be told it was all going to be okay. But he couldn't do that, not yet. Not until Leo understood.
