~~~~~~~~~Jay's POV~~~~~~~~~
Liz stepped into the bathroom, bouncing me as she walked. It still surprised me how strong she was to carry me around everywhere so easily, not that I minded it, I love being carried around. She leaned down, still holding me as she started the water in the bath, sitting my feet on the ground and lifting my shirt off over my head before lifting me again and and lowering me into the warm water, pouring bubble bath in. She walked over to a little box of toys now sitting in the corner of the bathroom, pulling out a few boats, the duckie from earlier, some little scooba divers, and a duck ON a boat!
I giggled as I started to play with the toys as mommy knelt down, using the shower head to wet my hair before lathering the baby shampoo in my hair.
"Having fun with your new toys, pumpkin?" She asked in a loving, motherly tone that sent a wave of bliss and happiness through me.
"Yesh mawmy!" I said in absolutely glee as I splashed my toys about, pretending my divers were exploring the ocean to find a giant prehistoric duck.
"Aww, I'm glad sweetie" she said as she continued bathing me.

I'd longed for years to see Jay like this. Knowing how low he could get sometimes, seeing him this blissfully happy just made me smile. Hearing him pretending his drivers were on an expedition to find a long thought extinct duck I figured I'd play along. I reached for the shower attachment on his duck boat toy, bringing it over his head before using it to rinse the shampoo from his hair. "Maybe if the divers stur up the water a little, they'll make the big duckie come out of hiding" I said, making him giggle as he made his rubber duck appear from inside the bubbles.
"Dere it is! Tank chu, mawmy!" He said in the cutest little voice I'd ever heard, making my heart melt.
He had the divers use the duck boat to lure the giant ducky to safety so it could live out it's days in a safe environment while being protected from any poachers that'd do it harm. As I finished washing him up with some baby powder scented body wash.
"Such a good boy rescuing the giant ducky" I said, kissing his wet forehead as I reached to unstop the tub, letting the water start draining as I helped him up as he yawned, obviously tired from the long day. I dried him off with a fluffy dinosaur towel and helping him sleepily brush his teeth before lifting him up and carrying him back to his new nursery, thinking how happy I am to finally have a little boy of my own to take care of.
(Jay's POV)
Looking around the room as mommy caries me I truly take it all in, having been too distressed and upset before to really pay attention to all the work Liz had done the past few hours. The walls were a deep navy blue with planets and glow in the dark stars decorating them. Near the center of the room was a dark stained wooden crib covered in white and red rockets and yellow stars with the space themed covers I'd picked out with a mobile above it, decorated with rockets and stars. Off in one corner was a similarity stained large changing table, complete with drawers that Liz had no doubt already filled with all the diapers I'd picked as well. Large, puzzle piece shaped foam mats with the letters of the alphabet decorated a corner of the room, fenced in by a playpen with a few toys piled in the corner, with a large toy chest adjacent to the playpen on the same wall. Everything laid out so perfectly, just as id always dreamed of as I couldn't help but smile. And here, carrying me to the changing table was my beautiful girlfriend who had, in the course of a single day, made all my wildest dreams come true. This is perfect I thought as she laid me down on the changing table, slipping a fresh diaper under me before she powdered my butt, taping it up and slipping a cute navy blue t-shirt with a teddy bear piloting a cardboard ufo over my head before fastening my paci to it and picking me up again. She carried me to my new crib and laying me in it, tucking Gray into my arms and tucking me in under the blanket, turning on the mobile that played soft, soothing music as she plugged in my new astronaut night light.
"Want mommy to read you a bedtime story?" She asked, running her fingers through my hair.
I simply nodded while yawning, cuddling up snuggly under my blanket with Gray as my eyes got heavier. She sat for a few minutes, reading me a story as I slowly drifted off to sleep.
