C A Star is Born (closed with SazzyP260)

Once his jeans were on, Caleb sat back down on the edge of the bed, taking a second to breathe and find his equilibrium again. His forehead resting on the curve of Zach's stomach, as Zach continued massaging his neck, shoulders, and the back of his head.

It took another five minutes before Caleb was able to stand up again, but he was getting better by the second. His face no longer pale, and his hands no longer trembling. "Okay... I'm ready now." Caleb said quietly, biting his lip as the duo started shuffling toward the door, then the stairs.

By the time they got downstairs, they both had to smile - Noah was sitting in Sam's lap, talking in half English and half baby-babble to the man. Leo was close by, keeping a very close and protective eye on the stranger who had his Little Master.

Leo wasn't exactly thrilled, and when he saw Zach, he trotted over to him and wuffled quietly, hairs on the back of his neck standing up slightly. Caleb chuckled softly "It's okay, Leo... Sam is a good guy, you don't have to worry about him taking Noah." Caleb said quietly, reaching down to scratch behind Leo's ears.
