Michael watched the somewhat bizarre sight with interest and confusion.

"Michael!" Tom whined. "She's got her own!" Marlee pouted, her huge blue eyes fixed on her Michael's face.

Michael took the bear from both of them and held it out of reach. "Tom, who is this?" He handed Marlee's bear to the girl and hid Tom's behind his back.

Tom flushed. "Mikko. He's mine." He glared playfully at his daughter, who rubbed her face on the substitute bear and threw it down, reaching for the other again.

Michael kept the bear away from both of them so neither one could get jealous. "Marlee like's Mikko," he noticed.

Tom narrowed his eyes sulkily. "But Michael..." He whined. "He's mine! Marlee's got her own!"

Michael made sure Tom's bear was hidden from Marlee's view. "If she sees him she's going to want him." A laugh escaped his lips.

Tom huffed. "Fine." He muttered. "She can have him. But she better not dribble on him!" As if she knew she was getting her own way, Marlee clapped her hands together and blew a bubble.

Michael gave Marlee the bear and patted Tom's cheek. "That's very big of you. I'm proud."

Tom snarled playfully and bit Michael's finger. "Now you have to be my teddy bear." He crawled into his fiance's lap. Marlee cooed to Mikko, rocking her whole body as she held him.

"She looks so happy," Michael gladly wrapped his arms around his lover.

"Yeah." Tom leant his head on Michael's shoulder. "Just because of some crummy old teddy bear. I've had him since I was twelve, y'know."

"It probably feels better than the new one and maybe it smells like you," Michael looked at the abandoned bear, wondering what they would do with it.

"Maybe." Tom shrugged. Marlee reached for the other teddy bear. "Oo, maybe she doesn't want..." He trailed off as Marlee banged the two bears together.

"Um... do you think...?" Michael's heart stopped for a moment.

Tom bit his lip. "Uhh... what?"

"She was sleeping right? When we were..." Michael watched Marlee play carefully.

"OhGodIhopeso." It all came out in one breath. Tom hid his face in Michael's chest. "What if she did?" He groaned. "Gabe and William would never have let it happen..."

"I bet William and Gabe are doing that right now or thinking about it," Michael gave Tom a little squeeze. "I don't know if they're more responsible than you are."

"They so are." Tom furrowed his brow. "We didn't do that." He murmured, watching Marlee. His face suddenly split into a smile.

Michael kissed Tom's ear. "I like it when you smile." He looked up to see what Marlee was up to, not wanting another toy to be thrown at his head.

"She's making them kiss!" Tom laughed. Marlee looked up and held out her hands to them, dropping the bears.

"Mikko's a little old for your bear in stuffed animal years," Michael chuckled. "Marlee's bear needs a name."

Tom bit his lip, reaching out his arms to pick Marlee up. "I chose Mikko because it's the Finnish version of Michael." He murmured to himself. "So who's important to her?"

"You know a lot of Michaels," Chiz said thoughtfully. "You're important to her. You found her."
