General RP Damnit, There's Kids Now! (Firestarter)

[RhysTheFirebird]

Kalin stares down Kas, fidgeting.

(he's like- freaking out mentally)

 

[Firestarter]

After about 30 minutes, Derek walks back into the room while rolling his shoulders. "Don't worry, he's not going to shatter into pieces." Derek teases as he sees Kalin's nervous expression.

 

[RhysTheFirebird]

Kalin whines, "He might!" He keeps fidgeting. "Don't do that to me." He grumbles, "I could have put the crip together."

 

[Firestarter]

Derek rolls his eyes and shakes his head while smiling, "Kalin, sweetie, what do you think is going to happen when I go to work? You'll be left alone with the kids."

 

[RhysTheFirebird]

Kalin pauses, blinking slowly, "No! We can get a nanny or something-" he squirms, "Like- look at him- he's so. . . So. . . So small and fragile-"

 

[Firestarter]

Derek laughs and gently pets Kalin's head. "Relax baby, we will hire a nanny, but you can't deny that even your parents would tell you that you need to bond with him."

 

[RhysTheFirebird]

Kalin squeaks, "I'm not denying that, But-- I can't hold a baby!"

 

[Firestarter]

Derek gently lifts Kas into his arms, cradling him while looking at Kalin, "Babe, look at me. You can do this. Just hold your arms like mine. I will be right here to make sure everything is okay."

 

[RhysTheFirebird]

Kalin chews his lip, "Derek. . ." He whines.

Kas babbles softly, yawning again.

 

[Firestarter]

"Come on, just trust me." Derek smiles, waiting for Kalin.

 

[RhysTheFirebird]

Kalin hesitates and then holds out his arms,biting his lip hard.

 

[Firestarter]

Derek carefully places Kas in Kalin's arms, placing his hands on Kalin's forearms to help support the baby. "See, you've got this. Just imagine you're holding Starry, if that helps."

 

[RhysTheFirebird]

Kalin trembles slightly, "Stary is bigger than a baby. A lot more to hold on to." He looks at Derek and then to Kas.

Kas closes his eyes, curling up sleepily.

 

[Firestarter]

Derek smiles and watches carefully, "It's okay, you're doing great baby. He's already falling asleep in your arms."

 

[RhysTheFirebird]

Kalin nods, looking stuff and awkward.

 

[Firestarter]

Derek chuckles softly and slowly removes his hands from Kalin's arms, watching Kas rest. "Let's take him to the crib baby."

 

[RhysTheFirebird]

Kalin stands, wobbling slightly and letting out a slightly terrified sound.

 

[Firestarter]

Derek quickly holds his arms out around Kalin and Kas, making sure nothing goes wrong. "It's okay, just take it slow. One step at a time baby."

 

[RhysTheFirebird]

Kalin shakes his head, "Derek!" He whines, "You're better at this than me!"

 

[Firestarter]

Derek frowns and wraps his arms around Kalin and Kas, "You just need practice baby. It's going to be okay. I'll help you while we walk okay?"

 

[RhysTheFirebird]

Kalin nods, biting his lip as he takes a step.

 

[Firestarter]

Derek keeps his hold on Kalin, making sure to help support Kas. "There we go."

 

[RhysTheFirebird]

Kalin keeps walking slowly, chewing his lip anxiously.

 

[Firestarter]

As the enter the bedroom, Derek shushes Kalin softly before leading him to the crib. With gentle movements, he helps guide Kalin's arms as they place Kas in the crib.

 

[RhysTheFirebird]

Kalin watches, quiet. "Careful-"

 

[Firestarter]

Derek smiles and gently runs a hand over Kas's head as they finish laying him down in the crib, "He's so precious." Derek whispers.

 

[RhysTheFirebird]

Kalin nods, "And small, and fragile. . ." He whispers.

Kas curls up, burbling in his sleep.

 

[Firestarter]

Derek laughs quietly while wrapping an arm around Kalin's waist. "Come on, let's go back to the room and get you that attention you wanted."

 

[RhysTheFirebird]

Kalin nods, leaning heavily into Derek, "Please--" he mumbles.

 

[Firestarter]

Derek smiles and pulls Kalin closer before leading him back to the room. "So tell me what you want me to do baby. A massage? Cuddles?"
