“do you need me to do anything? maybe i can heat up a bottle?” ethan wanted to do something helpful or at least feel like he was contributing. having a newborn son had never been on the cards for ethan, especially not when he was the age he was but one night out with his best friend had led them ending up in bed together, which then resulted in their son. he could never regret it though, thankfully their friendship hadn’t been affected, they were as close as they always had been and the love he had for his son was like nothing he’d felt before. people had always seen him as somewhat immature but he’d matured a lot through the pregnancy and the two weeks since he’d been born. it was difficult being away from them because he didn’t live with her, so he tried to be there as often as he could without overstepping any boundaries. if she didn’t want him there for whatever reason, then he was happy to leave or be there when it was something she was happy with. he wanted everything to be as easy as possible. “or maybe you can get a couple of hours of sleep while i’m here? i’m sure i can manage for a little while.”
