Tab was trying not to be bored, really. Or scared. They were in a shop full of baby stuff after all, and with the baby stuff came the mothers and their babies. Babies that could jump out and suck off her face at any moment. Tab took the lollipop from her mouth - Riley's subtle way of trying to get her to quit complaining - and pulled her mouth to the side as she looked at it. "Person, or poop factory?"

Riley snorted. "What? Everybody shits, Tab. Even you. I thought I'd be jealous seeing Lachlan as a father, but I'm not. I love that kid. The way Lachlan and Tara look at him, it's just... I feel honoured they want me to be an important part of his life. And anyone Lachlan let's touch that baby, it's a miracle."

Tab smirked. "Of course they want you near their kid. You're like Lachlan's go to guy. His best mate, so how can you not be a part of RJ's life? He's lucky to have you as his godfather. Plus he gets me, the awesome god-aunt as a bonus." Tab put her lollipop back into her mouth and poked at a plush duck toy. It quacked, and Tab giggled. "Can we get him the duck?"

Riley looked at it and laughed. "Yes, please do. Lachlan has a duckie complex. It will be highly amusing. And I note with keen interest, RJ has yet to suck your face off. In fact, I saw you smiling when you were holding him yesterday," he said with a smirk. "It's pretty cool how his whole hand isn't even the length of one of your fingers."

"Please tell me he suggested to take you ring buying?" Riley said with a smirk. "He's a guy. He shouldn't get out of it all so easily. I shit myself for weeks over the proposal and still nearly fucked it up. You know he sort of semi asked my permission? After the fact because you took him by surprise, but he did. And why not Australia? Would give us all an excuse to go visit there ( ... )

"I don't know, why not. We can't go in Summer though. Too fucking hot. Mexico was hot enough. Of course he suggested taking me ring buying. I saw what you got Evie, it was perfect. All that sweating paid off." Tab shook her head slowly as she stared at her brother. "He semi asked permission? What did you say? What did he say?"

Tab rest her hand on his back. "There's still... you know, having a donor or something. It's not really ideal, but it's an option. Adoption takes for-fucking-ever and besides, it's lost it's charm since Madonna did it."

She gave a nod. "Offer away. Besides, it might be a relief to Aiden to talk to someone about it. Someone who gets everything. Only... check if he still wants to kill you first?"

Riley smirked at her. This could be fun. "I really shouldn't tell you. It was boy talk. Man-to-man. Private big brother stuff," he said lightly, feigning innocence. "I couldn't possible betray his confidence."

"Yeah, I know but I..." He scratched the back of his head. "I want my own. My son or daughter. I've seen that look in Lachlan's eyes. He can't quite believe he created that little person. He keeps touching his little cheeks and ears and fingers like he's trying to convince himself he really did that. I want to feel that."

He shook his head and wet his lips. "I know, hey? There's nothing small or fragile about Aiden. He'd kick my arse. He should kick my arse. But I'll grab my balls and try to make amends on some level. No one needs me and Aiden at each other's throats."

Tab pushed Riley, and glared at him. "You can't tell me that crap! Bugger your private big brother stuff, and his confidence. I always tell you everything!"

"And the danger with the washing is that it might not get rid of everything and you'd kind of be passing the aids onto your kid, right? And Evie if she carries it?" Tab asked, trying to make sure she was remembering the details right. She frowned as she pursed her lips. This wasn't fair. Riley was meant to be a dad.

She shook her head. "Nope, they really don't. Especially not Pat."
