Summary
His lovers' arms around his body infuse him with a sense of security and warmth. So strong, so gentle. Ryland doesn't understand how K could ever think they are unfit to hold a child.
A comfortable stretch of silence settles over them, and then — "We could probably ask Wallace to make us one," K muses, and Ryland squawks indignantly.
"Please never bring up that man when we are naked in bed together."

Summary
"I think we're not just her guardians anymore, K," Ryland says after another spell of silence that he spends tapping the sides of his feet against K's under the table.
Across from him, K takes a deep breath, resting his folded hands over his stomach.
"No, I don't think so either."
Something settles inside of Ryland, pieces slotting into place.
"What's it like to hold your child in your arms? Interlinked."
