Wow.  This is a great story.  Alex takes his hurt dog to his usual vet and meets the new veterinary technician, Shane (who is also the nephew of the vet).  Alex is immediately drawn to Shane, but doesn't know whether Shane is gay.  Alex needs to travel out of town for a weekend but needs someone to look after his dog, so he asks Shane if he would mind staying at his place and tending to the dog.  Shane is also very drawn to Alex, but neither immediately shares with the other.  The fact that both are gay comes out and the two begin the "I like you and you like me but I'm not sure how much" dance and fall hopelessly in love.  A fateful car accident draws Shane away, and Alex is left wondering who Jacob is and why Shane suddenly left to go to Jacob.  After weeks of no response from Shane, Alex heads to Shane's home town for a showdown. He needs Shane to tell him to his face that it is over.  Jacob is an infant, the result of a blackmail one-night-stand with a girl who discovered Shane in a sex act with one of the locals. Once Alex discovers the truth about Jacob, the two reunite and little Jacob becomes their son.  It is a heartwarming story that leaves the reader knowing that things really can work out for the best, and love truly does prevail.
