Then I heard the gate open, because we are not expecting anyone we both put our full focus to the gate. Then we saw non other that Nate and Charlie drive in. "Hey bro! I know this isn't exactly expected, but ma has been insisting that I come talk to you two, and she also wanted me to have Charlie with me." he stated.
Both me and Fi rolled our eyes. "Thanks for the concern Nate but we've got things under control." I informed him.
HE nodded his head. "Can we go inside and sit down? This should only take a minute." he urged.
Fi started to walk up the stairs. "Come on up." she said taking my hand.
When we all got up there Fi and I took a seat on the bed. "SO what is it that you want to talk to us about?" I asked him.
"Mom really wants to see you two. She misses you. She wants to be apart of you baby's life." he stated. "She's afraid that you're cutting her off." he added.
"We're going over there for dinner Nate." I informed him.
"Alright there were a few more points I wanted to make. Like do you even have a crib yet?" he asked us, more of looking to Fiona for this question.
"Ordered one this morning. Which reminds me, we need to tell you mom that there is going to be a crib showing up at her house from eight to ten days." she mused. "Oh, and Michael, I decided against blue, I decided that blue wasn't a good color, I went with yellow." she informed me.
"Ok?" I said not really knowing what to say about the subject.
"Have you even gone to see a doctor?" Nate asked now looking more at me.
"What do you think Nate? I'm kind of trying to stay on the down low right now. Going to the doctor would kind of set off a red flag." Fi informed him.
"Whose going to tell you whether the baby is healthy, or who's going to deliver the baby?" he asked us.
"I am Nate. The baby is fine Fiona is fine, and I have delivered a baby before I can do it again. Don't give me that look, I was in the field. When you're in Afghanistan three hundred miles away from civilization." I informed him.
"Bro I get that you guys wanna keep things on the DL but when it comes to your child you can never be too careful. I know a guy, a doctor that would be able to help." he offered.
I looked at Fi, then down to her stomach. "Do you trust him?" I asked.
He nodded his head. "I do. Listen a few months ago I got myself into a stick situation he stitched me up, and Ruth never suspected a things." he informed us.
I looked to Fi, "What do you think?" I asked her.
"I think that I should have gone with the blue crib instead of the yellow one now that I'm thinking about it." she said. I looked at her face and she is staring off into space. I was beginning to wonder why she's been so quiet.
"Not about the crib, about a doctor." I said.
"Oh that yeah that sounds fine." she said getting up, walking to a drawer and pulled out a Toys-R-Us catalog.
Charlie has been sleeping all this time, and he is finally starting to wake up from his nap. He started to fuss. "Hey buddy, it's alright. You want you uncle Mike to hold you?" Nate said to his son.
"Um, Nate I'm not sure of that's a great idea." I said not totally sure about holding a baby.
"Aw come on Mike you're going to have to get some practice. Here just let him sit on your lap, he'll love you." my bother told me placing his son on my lap.
"Aww! Michael, you two look so cute!" Fiona said looking up at us.
"Yeah, how about you hold him." I said quickly passing Charlie off to her.
"Aww, aren't you too cute! You're going to have a cousin to play with in just a few months. Wow, you're a heavy little thing. Why don't I sit down to hold you." she said smiling at and bouncing Charlie. Charlie her a big smile on his face and laughed like there was no tomorrow. The way she held him, it looked so natural, I wish that it could be like that for me.
