"First Night" This takes place a few months into Colson and Sebastien's relationship, and the first time Sebastien stayed over at the Graingers' home - prompted by a request from Toby, who just wanted to spend more time with Sebastien (and have pancakes). Art by @GenOttr

"I hear a lot of movement in there," Sebastien teased with a playful grin. "When's the baby's due? Girl or boy? Any names in mind?" Sebastien's good-natured teasing often got a giggle from Toby. Colson will surely think of a comeback eventually. Amazing painting by @KygenDrake !
