"Never's a long time," he pointed out, smirking.

"This room is huge, you do realize that, right?" He motioned to the blank area.

dl_greenarrow January 29 2011, 03:25:07 UTC

"Well, yeah. But she has to have a big room." He knelt down and opened a can of paint.

He gave the older man a look, bending down to arrange the plastic trays. "Has to, or you really want to spoil her?"

Oliver paused and glanced over at him. "I want to," he admitted with a small, sheepish grin.

"Yeah, you would," Michael laughed softly, grabbing one of the cans and pouring it carefully into pan and picking up a paint roller. "I'll say she's lucky."

"You think so?" He picked up a paint roller, as well. As excited as he was for the baby, he was also nervous. Afraid he was going to screw things up.

"I do," he shook his head at Oliver's insecurities, putting the roller in the paint and going to the nearest wall. "You shouldn't be this worried."

He drew in a breath and let it out slowly, rolling some of the paint onto the wall. "I can't help it," he admitted.

Michael tilted his head as he rolled the paint on. "Can I ask why?"

dl_greenarrow January 29 2011, 03:56:03 UTC

"Well, I don't...have that much experience with children," he said softly.

"Other than that time you had with Mia and me," he said matter-of-factly.

dl_greenarrow January 29 2011, 04:02:03 UTC

"True. But not when you were babies," Oliver pointed out.

mirrorsmirk January 29 2011, 04:22:46 UTC

"Well it's not like you're going to drop her on her head or anything," Michael shook his head.

dl_greenarrow January 29 2011, 04:25:35 UTC

He paused at that, grimacing a little, and then rolling the paint roller over the surface of the wall.

Michael stopped and stared at him. "You're not going to drop the baby."
