Legal Question in Family Law in Missouri

I am currently writing a book about a boy with two (gay) dads, but his biological mother has custodial rights. I was wondering if there was a way for his dad's partner to obtain guardianship of the boy in the case of his biological father's death, or if his mother would be the automatic caretaker of him.
