Hello All and here is the third addition to this story I hope you all enjoy it and thank you to the amazing dandelionandaisiesss for the review.
Dan let Phil get changed into actual clothes since they would need to go shopping to take care of Olivia for how ever long they would have her they would have to have a talk about whether or not they were going to keep her but for now they needed to go shopping.
Phil walked into the kitchen in his normal wear of jeans and his space shirt and pulled the green hoodie over his head "ready" Dan asked him Phil nodded "I'm taking my medicine with in case we are out longer than we think we will be" he said Dan nodded "that's a good plan" he told him as he stuck Olivia in the bassinette.
"Alright Livy we are going to go shopping and buy you things" he unknowingly cooed at the baby he leaned back up and turned to Phil who was grinning at him "oh shut up" Dan grumbled as he picked up the bassinette and walked to the door. "Make sure to get dual seating or we are going to be a squished mess again" he hollered back to Phil who was on the phone most likely with the cab company.
They had to wait ten minutes but a cab pulled up to them and Phil got on one side and Dan and the baby on the other "so what all do we need?" Dan asked Phil in wonder as he looked to his friend. Phil looked back at him and shrugged "I guess we just grab what we think we will need" he said unsure Dan looked at him "you have no idea either do you?" he asked with a laugh Phil shook his head "nope" he answered as he pulled his hood up and chuckled and leaned back in his seat.
They stopped at one of the shopping centers Dan carrying Olivia and again Phil opening the doors. They stopped at a baby and tots shop and looked at it uncertainly Dan bit his lip "alright well lets do this" he said semi confident having never dealt with a baby very much, other than Louise's daughter here and there. He walked in and blanched at the multitudes of stuff you needed or wanted for a baby and young tot.
"Holy crap" Dan muttered to Phil who was also stunned "were do we start" he asked uncertainly also looking for a cart because his arms were aching from holding her for so long. "Hello sirs" a young woman said coming up to them with the company logo on Dan looked to her name tag "hello Rose" he said "um we need a lot of help" he said emphasizing a lot. "Also do you have a cart I can put her in my arms feel like they are going to fall off" he said as he looked to her for help she giggled "of course sir right this way" she said as they followed her to were they had a variety of colored carts.
She gave Dan a light blue cart and he set her in the large part of it and sighed in relief "ok so how can I help you two?" she asked kindly "and who is this precious girl?" she asked looking at Olivia. "Well I am Dan and this is Phil" he said introducing the two of them "and this is Olivia" he said nodding his head in the direction of the baby. "An we were wondering if you could help us get everything you would need for a baby because we are …clueless" he said for a lack of better word.
"Oh first time parents huh?" she asked knowingly "Oh well yes but we aren't um uh" Dan stammered over himself "Oh I'm sorry I wasn't trying to insinuate anything" she said quickly afraid she had offended him "sorry about him and its ok but we are unsure of what to get for Olivia so any help you can give us would be appreciated" Phil said since Dan had turned the color of a tomato and had stopped talking all together they were use to playing it up for youtube but Phil could see where the young woman was coming from in thinking they were a couple.
"Of course" she said also having turned a light pink from embarrassment she turned "now do you want to start with diapers and clothing or bath products or we can start with toys" she said looking to the two of them. Phil blinked and Dan looked at her "Um how about you just pick and we can start there" he said not knowing which one to pick first "ok why don't we start with bathing products since it's the first isle and we will work our way down" she suggested they both nodded and followed.
"Do you know if she is sensitive or allergic to anything" she asked Dan he shook his head "we quiet literally have only had her for like two hours" he said to her "oh well isn't this a learning experience" she said "I'm going to guess you don't get this a lot" Dan asked her as they stopped in the isle. "You would be correct we get a unsure father or mother here or there but they have some idea of what they need or what they can't have but they have also had them for a little while longer than two hours" she answered him as she turned to them.
"Now since you don't know if your daughter is allergic or sensitive to certain bath products "I'd recommend getting a regular shampoo you want her to have and maybe take a hypoallergenic and sensitivity one in case she does have a reaction to the shampoo and conditioner" Dan nodded and picked out a berry one and a lime one in each Phil had insisted on the berry one since it was like the berry shampoo he uses. He grabbed a set of pink wash clothes and a set of light purple bath towels and set them next to the bassinette and a small tub since he didn't want to drown her and than followed Rose into the next Isle.
"Now diapers" she said and Dan put his head on the handle bar of the cart "Damned it I forgot you have to change babies" he said Phil laughed and shook his head "I did not realize how much stuff you needed for babies" he added as he looked at the assortment of diapers. "Now which ones will fit her and not hurt her or be uncomfortable for her" Dan asked the woman as he scanned most of them she chuckled and took him to the new born sets. "These are affordable and have had the best response" she said handing him some in a large package he decided to just go with what she said and took those because what did he know about diapers.
On the opposite isle wall they had formula Dan looked at each one "this is ridiculous" he said to himself looking at hypoallergenic, newborn, 1-2 years formula "how many formulas do you need" he said aloud "well some kids have weak stomachs or allergies" Rose said as Phil was making faces at Olivia. Dan grabbed newborn and a light blue bottle with llamas on it since it was cool and a light pink one with bears and tigers on it.
"Now toys" she said both Dan and Phil's eyes lit up they seemed to be in a isle they could work with here granted it was baby toys but hey it wasn't diapers or formula. Phil immediately went to the lion toys while Dan grabbed a llama plushy and set it in the cart. He also picked two tiger plushy and some other animals while Phil threw in a large lion and a smaller lion and Dan bit his lip to keep from laughing at the excitement and joy Phil was emanating right now.
A couple of toys later they had dragged their cart to clothing. "So since she is a newborn they have their own section right here" she said and the two men who were getting looks from some of the people in the store ignored them except the odd fan here or there that wanted their autograph or a photo. They started to dig through the clothes "so how was your first baby shopping experience" she asked them as she folded up clothes that they had disarrayed. "It was a whole other new shopping experience" said Dan who sounded tired they had grabbed about thirty different outfits from dresses to pajamas all of which Dan had to make sure was perfect much to Phil's humor who was just wanting to throw clothes in the cart.
They also grabbed a stroller and a crib which needed to be built and went and checked out "we got a lot of stuff for people who are unsure of whether or not we are keeping her" Phil mentioned "if we do end up putting her through the system" Dan sneered the last word "we can give it to the family who does adopt her or give it to donation" Dan said simply while Phil nodded and yanked out his medicine and went to go find a drink.
"Thank you so much Rose" he said gratefully "not a problem sir its kind of my job" she said with a grin he nodded "true" he said as he picked up Olivia and rocked her she had been quiet so far but Dan was suspicious that she was biding her time to start screaming.
Dan checked out everything and Dan and Phil went to get a cab with a crap tone of stuff managing to stuff it all in the car with two overly tall men and a baby.
