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

“I didn’t do it by myself. Gloria and Edith did most of the planning. I only paid and put the various pieces together.” After hearing that Mama had to say thank you to Zach’s family.


Mama said to Edith, “You have to bring Kitty over and have coffee with me. I have a jungle gym in the yard to keep her busy while we gossip.”


Edith smiled and looked fondly at her charge. “She’d love that. She hasn’t been able to stop talking about having a Nana and a Nonna.”


At the end of the evening, Jack and Carlo spoke to Bobby, Keith, Jason and Zach. “We’re so happy with how the party turned out. It was wonderful to see everyone together. Since we’re not planning a big wedding, this was an excellent start to our new living arrangement.”


Bobby slapped Jack on the back. “We’re all getting hitched. The Sunset Club seems to have that kind of effect on gay men. We had several couples in the other night that met here celebrating anniversaries.”
