34th Confession [Video/Possible Action/]

[notabluesbro]

[Well, it was three months in the making. Literally, making. But it's over, and Wolfwood's never been so relieved in his life; it was a bunch of paranoid, silly thoughts, ones that he was able to shove aside when everything had a good ending. It was good to know the Wolfwood lineage wasn't eternally damned when it came to healthy births and decent parents.

After he stays with Milly and the baby for a while, he supposes he should put up a quick mention that, y'know, everything went smoothly. While Milly's sleeping, he fidgets with the camera and let's the journal capture a picture of a little fella who looks something like this. Yes, this kid has a lot of hair. He totally gets it from his daddy. Of course, had he had his eyes open, people would have noticed he got a little of his mama to him, too.]

Looks like it's a boy, born 5:30 PM on the dot at a whopping 9 pounds, 7 ounces. [There's a sympathetic twang to his words, because wow; poor Milly, that is just... awful numbers, right there.]  Definitely a healthy kid. Milly's doing good, at least. Nothing bad to report... save for a broken thumb, but I think that's a fair trade for the dad.

[His thumb, yes. He waggles it in front of the journal, but whatever. He gives no fucks to the injury that his wife caused during the birth.]

We're thinking Noah's a pretty good name. Something cute that he won't be embarrassed about when he's older, right?

...

Noah Wolfwood. It's not a bad name.

[It's kind of surreal, actually, having someone else with your name. Not just a marriage, but an actual honest-to-god chunk of lineage. Now this little triforce is complete.]

Anyone got particular baby advice they wanna hand down? I'm sure Milly'd appreciate it, and frankly, I haven't helped with a newborn in.... well, a hell of a long time. I'm all ears.

[Orphanage, he misses you. There was maybe one occassion they'd dealt with a newborn, but the others who helped run it were a little more skilled at it than he was so he let them swoon and take care of her.

In retrospect, maybe that would have been good practice for him. AW WELL.

People're allowed to visit now at least, once Milly's awake and content with company (which she always seems to be). There are also the usual people working the clinic checking in to make sure everything's going well enough. Law gets his props for being on the ball and good at this sorta' thing.]

((ooc: there's a log up here for visiting after the baby's born, but if you want to visit here it's coolio, too! mainly just leavin' it open for you to do whatever your heart wishes. visiting logs will also have milly involved as well!))

It's-- IT'S BORN!? IT'S REALLY BEEN BORN ALREADY!?

I... I didn't even know she-- WOW LOOK AT HIM! OI! Milly said I can definitely be the Uncle! I can still be the Uncle right!? She promised I could be--

Oh! Where is she!? Is she okay?? [He's obv very excited.]

[Voice]

[notabluesbro]

[whoa bro tone down the noise]

Sssshhh!! They're sleeping, sheesh. You wouldn't want to wake up the mom and kid after such a trying ordeal for the two of them, would you?

Don't worry; she's doing fine. Just getting a little shut-eye.

[voice]

[godbent]

Over four kilos? [Shiver. Just Shiver. But... No she doesn't have more to say. Or well she did, but she decides it isn't somethin she should project on the kid's father]

[voice]

[notabluesbro]

Sure is. But Milly's a tough gal, at least. I've heard 7 pounds is the norm, but I haven't really been around enough babies to tell what's what.

Maybe bigger newborns run in my family and I don't know it.

[voice]

[vor]

[Well, that's nice. All this doom and gloom since coming here, but here's a baby born]

Congratulations.

[voice]

[notabluesbro]

Thanks. It's been a, uh... pretty eventful day.

[it's an understatement for him

this day stressed him out more than most of his gunfights combined]

[anxiousgrace]

Congrtulations! He's very cute.

[notabluesbro]

I agree with you on that one; he's going to be a charming little fella', I can already tell. [I'm oh so charming, too, so it totally makes sense.] And with how many clothes Milly's gathered up, he'll be in no short supply of other cute things.

[Voice]

[healedbythelight]

O-oh, a baby? Congratulations! You must be very proud.

[Voice]

[notabluesbro]

Very proud! It's a crazy thing to all take in at once, being a parent, but I'm damn happy about it.

[voice]

[endgames]

Ha. Figured she had to be getting close.

[voice]

[notabluesbro]

She was pretty damn restless the days beforehand. Almost couldn't get her to sit down and rest.

[written]

[anita_hero]

Aww, he's so cute! Big boy, too. I'm glad his mama's okay.

[written]

[notabluesbro]

Me, too. Never sat through a birth before, so I was a little worried.

[... :|a]

And maybe just a little freaked out.

[Voice]

[fleurdesel]

They feel it in your body if you are tense while holding them. If you are stressed, and do not wish to cause them distress? Carry your Noah on a pillow instead of your arms proper.

[A beat.] Congratulations.

[Voice]

[notabluesbro]

Thanks.

Right; I'll let Milly know that, since she loves getting helpful hints and facts like that. She's had her nose deep into baby books since she found out she was expecting.

[Voice]

[estelle_bright]

Wow, already!? I just spoke to her yesterday!

[Pause.]

Oh, I'm sorry, my name is Estelle! Congratulations to both of you!

[Voice]

[notabluesbro]

Funny how these things just happen. She's restlessly been waiting for him for days now.

It's nice to meet you, though, Estelle - I'm Wolfwood. You'd been talking with Milly, then?

[lostinmyway]

[AWWWWWW LOOKIT THE TINY BABY~~]

Congratulations! Oh, he's so cute! You both must be very, very happy!

[notabluesbro]

The happiest couple today, I imagine!

[and yes, our baby is the cutest, he's like a baby chick with those dorky wings]

He looks like he'll be quite the looker when he's older; make all the gals like him.

[Just like his old man. Hoo-ah!]

[voice]

[no_compromise]

[He would have ignored the announcement from a stranger, but curiosity got the better of Viral when he saw the child.]

That's...very small.

[voice]

[notabluesbro]

[... Huh. That's a weird reply.]

Actually, it's a pretty good size, for a baby.

Unless you're not used to seeing them?

[Because, honestly... Luceti. Not shocking.]

[voice]

[fierybluebird]

Congratulations! Noah sounds like a great name.

[voice]

[notabluesbro]

Definitely! It's one of the few names we could completely agree on. Though I think she's a little sad that she can't shorten it into something cutesy, but ah well. She'll find a way.

[heartofahawk]

Oh .. congratulations!
