BABY STEPS TO US: A soft-but-sexy MM mpreg romance about pregnancy cravings, co-parenting chaos, and building a forever home together.

He broke his heart before the baby. Now they are out of time, out of space, and one bad landlord away from losing their future.

Evan always wanted to be a dad. Harborlight Fertility gave him the chance. What he did not plan on was doing the last months of pregnancy in a moldy shoebox apartment, with a landlord who will not renew his lease once the baby comes.

Or moving in with the ex who ran when things got real.

Marco was supposed to chase promotions, not pacifiers. He walked away once, scared he would be a terrible father. Now Evan is visibly pregnant with his child, the baby is kicking, and the studio is a health code nightmare.

One midnight craving run and one brutal text from Evan’s landlord later, Marco is kneeling under a sink, staring at black mold and broken pipes, asking himself one question.

Can he really walk away again?

When a prenatal support group, a “creating safe nests” workshop, and a string of awful apartment showings prove that Evan cannot do this alone, a short term solution turns into a wild idea. Co-parenting under the same roof. Shared bed, top to tail. Strictly practical.

Right.

Life together quickly becomes a blur

late night craving runs and shared belly kicks

spreadsheets and rental applications that ask if they are “married”

paint splatters in the nursery and one soft, careful night where Marco proves he wants Evan’s body exactly as it is now

neighbors, a nosy landlord, and a found family who keep calling them “the cute new dads downstairs”

For the first time, Evan feels close to the forever home he never had as a kid. For the first time, Marco can see a future that is more pancakes and cartoons than airport gates and hotel points.

Then a relocation email lands in Marco’s inbox.

The promotion he always wanted. The salary their little family could use. The move that would rip them away from the community that finally feels like home.

Legal clinics, hyphenated last names, and one brutal fight later, it all blows up. Evan will not beg anyone to stay. Marco is done living with one foot out the door. When early contractions hit and Harborlight calls them back in, they have to decide what “real parent” and “real home” really mean.

Will Marco burn his old life to the ground for the baby and ex he never stopped loving?
Will Evan risk trusting the man who already left once with everything that matters most?
