†003 - Childcare

[bucuresti]

[Mihail has never really had much of a chance to practice his fathering skills (do suburbs even count?) so this is definitely something else. Perhaps it wouldn't be half as odd if the child he got from HQ wasn't also Norilsk's child. That isn't to say that it's a bad thing, seeing as how the newly-christened Nadezhda is not only adorable but very well-behaved. Mihail's definitely taken a shine to her.

It's just... Well, it's awkward, seeing as how her parents can easily be submerged into a very vicious cycle in their relationship, so this is certainly a questionable situation.

All backstory aside, they've decided to relocate to Mihail's room with Nadezhda for the time being, though Mihail's really stuck as to how to take care of her when he has absolutely nothing in his room that a baby could use. Fun times in parenthood, indeed.]

[ not only do they fall into a vicious circle but yuri named their child after a smelter - a smelter (and he's not planning to tell mihail anytime soon). on the subject of children - actually, nevermind, i think i've drilled enough of this into your heads: children and norilsk do not mix. period.

nadezhda's little hands grope for his scarf. she wriggles, squirms and gargles, trying to reach it.

it's hard to look awkward when you've got a baby looking at you with big eyes. OwO ]

A-ah, where should she sleep? And will you be staying here? []

[gulags.livejournal.com]

[ considering he is naming it after the very thing that - yeah. let's just drop the subject. ]

Ah, perhaps tonight we should allow her to sleep on the bed? Just for tonight, until we can find something suitab - [ mihail, you make things awkward forever. ]

Oh. Ah. Well.

[ god. ]

...Do you - er. I thought you would want taking turns. Whatever is better for you, I suppose -

[cenusa-lumina.livejournal.com]

Yes, maybe. I have plenty of pillows, so she should be safe for tonight.

[]

W-well, I really would prefer it if both of us were here since... It's both of ours.

[gulags.livejournal.com]

[ well then. where would he sleep? ]

Oh, I will -- [ eying the couch. ] -- take the couch, then. If - if you do not mind.

[cenusa-lumina.livejournal.com]

Yes, that's fine. I'll stay in the bedroom with her for the night.

HE SHOULD BE SLEEPING IN THE BEDROOM FLOOR.

[gulags.livejournal.com]

Right. Er -

[ nadezhda finally has a firm grasp on his scarf. she pulls the fabric to her, trying to gnaw on it. ]

Do you want to hold her?

oh fffff

[cenusa-lumina.livejournal.com]

Hello to you, too.

[gulags.livejournal.com]

She is very pretty.

[ the scarf tightens around his neck. to relieve the pressure, he unwraps it from his neck, holding it between both hands so nadezhda can do what she will with it, slightly self-conscious what with the scar on his throat. ]

{Guess who's knocking on the door, bearing sweets. Oh hai there, he wants to see the baby~}

Luca! How are you?! I haven't seen you in forever!

[csikisor.livejournal.com]

Fine, fine; I heard the news that you have a child~ {Going through the basket, he eats a piece of candy. Well he was munching on it his whole journey.}

It seems to be a lot of children around here. People don't believe in protection; or is everyone a Catholic around here?

[cenusa-lumina.livejournal.com]

Ah, yes. One of the crazy things this building does, I'm afraid. I believe it's happened to almost everyone that lives here.

(one of two)

[csikisor.livejournal.com]

Perfect....I just remembered that I hate children.

[csikisor.livejournal.com]

{He chuckles lightly, tapping his foot.}

Well only when they aren't annoying and talking. So babies are fine~

Aren't you going to let me in, the hall is a bit nippy.

[cenusa-lumina.livejournal.com]

Of course, how rude of me, Luca. Come in.

{Insane, who's insane? Transylvania is perfectly fine...by his standards anyway. He skips into the room, humming to himself}

Is it a boy or girl, can I hold it, did you feed it yet? can I tell it horror stories?

[cenusa-lumina.livejournal.com]

[]

It's a girl, her name is Nadezhda, no we haven't fed her yet, and no, she's too young for horror stories.

[ WELL, SOMEONE CALL THE VATICAN, WE HAVE OURSELVES AN IMMACULATE CONCEPTION!

[csikisor.livejournal.com]

{And he'll just stop in his foot steps. Russian senses tingling.}


H-hello there?

[gulags.livejournal.com]

Ah.

Привет.

[csikisor.livejournal.com]

W-why are you here?

I lied 2/2

[csikisor.livejournal.com]

{He shuts his mouth, yeah...shouldn't be asking questions like that.}

[gulags.livejournal.com]

[ he's used to it. :( ]

Er... [ sigh ] Mihail wanted to tell me something.

Did somone call? :D

[ Guess who's been running around enjoying all of God's most precious of gifts and kissing more babies than a politician? (except for one with the black afro; he's pretty sure that one is possessed. :| ) Waves and grandfatherly smiles abound. c: ]

Ciao, mio figlio! I see you have one of the Heavenly Father's beautiful miracles too.
