The Foster-Lucas Family:
DH: Logan Jeremy Foster-Lucas (29)
DH: Benjamin Nathan Foster-Lucas "Benji" (24)
DS: Smith Valjean Foster-Lucas (nb)
Logan & Benji have recently welcomed a son, whom they have named Smith Valjean. Their little boy came to them with the help of a surrogate, a lovely woman they found via an agency. There was much debate once they decided to go down that path as to which of them would be the biological father, but they couldn't decide on a fair way to do that so they decided to let fate decide. Their surrogate was implanted with two embryos, one biologically related to Logan, and the other to Benji. Only one took however, and they do not know, nor do they care, which of them is Smith's biological father at this point, though they realise that it may become obvious as Smith gets older.
Now, Smith Valjean is obviously a rather unusual name, but Logan & Benji love it as their baby is named after two of their all time favorite characters... Smith Jerrod from Sex and the City, and Jean Valjean from Les Miserables.

Little Smith is three when Logan and Benji decide he needs a sibling. The surrogate worked last time. Do they want to use that method again or do they want to try adoption? How does little Smith react to his new brother/sister?
The sex and name of the child is your choice, but either their first or middle name must start with the letter H or N.
Also, either use a picture or give us a short description of this child’s appearance.

Logan & Benji's careers have really taken off with Logan having 3 exhibitions in popular New York gallerys planned for the next 6 months, and Benji just getting a job as choreographer for 'The Lion King' on broadway! Smith is a handsome boy, and while they still don't really care which of them is in fact his biological father, time has pointed that arrow firmly in Benji's direction as the resemblance between them as Smith grows is becoming very obvious.
When Smith was 2 and a half, they decided that they were ready to expand their family. After much discussion as to their options they again decided to use a surrogate and contacted the same agency they had used to conceive Smith. They asked if they were able to use the same woman again, but were disappointed when they were told that she was no longer on the agencies books. They queried if perhaps the agency would be willing to contact her just to make sure she definitely wasn't interested seeing as it was a sibling for a child she'd already carried, and they were thrilled when she agreed given the special circumstances. With the same surrogate secured, they then turned to the subject of this childs paternity. They knew by now that Smith was Bemji's biological son, the resemblance becoming uncanny, so decided that it was only far that this child be fathered by Logan. Once again their surrogate went through IVF and all parties concerned were so excited when she became pregnant on the first round.
The pregnancy went smoothly and their excitment only grew when they found out that they were to welcome a little girl. Logan and Benji have been talking to Smith a lot about what it means to be a big brother and have a little sister to look out for, and Smith is very excited to meet her when she arrives. They decided to once again name their daughter after things that are important to them, and have choosen the name Annie Nala. Annie is after the photographer Annie Leibovitz who has been an inspiration for Logan throughout his career, and Nala, well everyone knows who Nala is, and it seemed fitting with Benji now working on 'The Lion King'.
