The two men set up housekeeping with the help of friends and Carlo's big Italian family. Then little Bella ends up in the intensive care since she lacks immunity to childhood diseases. Can Jack and Carlo find their way in this new relationship? As partners, husbands, fathers? Will the two be able to form a strong bond ... and an even stronger family?

Beau's Baby

“Boy, do you have a lot to learn.” Bobby laughed.


“I have a few other calls to make. Get a list of guests over to me. Go hog wild, we may not be able to get many there on a Monday. Jason’s taking care of the club. I’ll take care of the team and the doctors. You handle the relatives and your office.”


“We still have to empty Jack’s place.”


“Don’t worry, we’ll get to that the day after tomorrow.”


“Thanks, Bobby. I knew Jack could count on you.”


“So can you. You helped me after the accident when I was incoherent. I owe both of you. Reggie and Jason feel the same way.”


“I’m calling Greg,” Bobby told Keith as he was entering the number into the phone. “Besides inviting him and Cisco to the shower, I think Jack’s going to need some help with this, Carlo too.”
