restless heart

“Well I don’t know how this works exactly.” Dolcetto gave her a sheepish smile as they readjusted with Noah in his arms. It felt strange to hold such precious life in his arms but he somehow feels ready as long a Dani is by his side. He wrapped his arms gently around his son and leaned onto Dani.

“We can totally do this.” He leans his head on hers slightly and breaths the moment in. If Doletto has learned anything it is that he should appreciate moments like this because when things get busy moments like this can be far and few in between.

“Totally,” she agreed, leaning over the couch to grab her Nikon from the table. She was going to get every picture of her son with his daddy as she could. They say the kids grew up hell of a lot faster than you think, so she was making preparations for it. She turned the device on and held it up to her face, grinning.

 “He’s a good baby.”

[ofrezfeber]

Dolcetto held his hand and let Noah grab his finger with a strength he did not expect. It brought a stupidly wide smile to his face and just as he looked up at Dani the familiar sound of a camera filled the room.

"I think the food is here." Even after all of this time Dani still managed to be make him blush in unexpected ways. "Who's gonna get it?" Dolcetto chuckles as the grip on his finger grows tighter.

Dolcetto smiles and slips away into the kitchen to order their usual. He peeks over the archway periodically, not wanting to take his eyes off of either of them. Before long he is placing two smirnoffs on the coffee table and returning to the couch.

“Can I hold him?”

“Babe, he’s kinda half of you. You don’t have to ask.” With slow, unpracticed awkwardness she passed her son onto his father. There was nervousness in the way she moved, but a bright excitement as well. This was all so new, terrifying, and amazing at once.

“You’re probably right.” He admires Noah for a moment again before turning his head towards the kitchen. “We should just order something from our favorite place and call it a night.” Dolcetto was far too tired to make dinner and he doubts Dani would not feel the same. He retreated to the couch and flopped back down, waiting for the doe to join him so they could finally enjoy a silent moment together - even if a sleeping Noah was nestled between them.

“Ugh, that sounds perfect. And I can actually have a Smirnoff now or something.” With a little grunt Danielle pushed herself up and joined her partner on their sofa, her ones practically collapsing as she flopped. Her hold on Noah, however, remained firm. “I will eat literally anything at this point.”

Dolcetto smiles and slips away into the kitchen to order their usual. He peeks over the archway periodically, not wanting to take his eyes off of either of them. Before long he is placing two smirnoffs on the coffee table and returning to the couch.

“From the looks of it he’ll have your hair.” He tussled the small bit of hair on Noah’s head with a smile. A tiny hand reached out and grabbed onto Dolcetto’s finger with a surprising amount of strength.

“Shouldn’t be that strong already.” He chuckles and wiggles his finger some more just to be greeted with an even tighter grip. “I’m just worried about the other babies getting used to him. Your dog is usually nice but Dexter is kind of a brat.” Ever since they brought the baby home the cat and the dog have been hiding. Maybe they would have some surprise playtime later to see how they will get along.

“It’s super new. Bucky will get used to it because he’s an attention whore. But a smushy, loud thing crying is probably kinda freaky for an animal that’s never met a baby before.” The new mom smiled warmly, sighing contently. “I still can’t believe he’s here. It felt like forever and just a week at the same time.”

[ofrezfeber]

"You're probably right." He admires Noah for a moment again before turning his head towards the kitchen. "We should just order something from our favorite place and call it a night." Dolcetto was far too tired to make dinner and he doubts Dani would not feel the same. He retreated to the coach and flopped back down, waiting for the doe to join him so they could finally enjoy a silent moment together - even if a sleeping Noah was nestled between them.

“I almost can’t believe it.” Dolcetto had one arm wrapped around her as they admired their new bundle of joy. “One of you is going to have to pinch me.” He kissed her cheek softly before he reached out to touch one of Noah’s chubby cheeks. It suddenly occurred to him that this little child’s life was in their hands and - for one of the few times in his life - he was sure he would able to do it. As long as Dani was here he felt like they could take on anything.

“I love you so much. Both of you. That’s kind of weird to say right?” He forced himself to breath and rested his head on Dani’s.

“No. Just different.” The doe’s eyes closed with a soft sigh, her thick lashes fluttering as she shut her eyes. For a moment she just relished in this feeling of completion. Of course before she was elated with Dolcetto and their fur-babies, but with their new status as parents it was something entirely new. It was supposed to be impossible, yet here they were.

“Super different. And crazy. But he’s gorgeous. And I know he’s kind just this warm lumpy thing right now but he kinda already looks like you.”

[ofrezfeber]

“From the looks of it he’ll have your hair.” He tussled the small bit of hair on Noah’s head with a smile. A tiny hand reached out and grabbed onto Dolcetto’s finger with a surprising amount of strength.

“How’s it feel to be a dad?” She grinned up at Dolcetto, her arms coveting the most beautiful thing in her life and it wasn’t her camera. Freckled features looked back down to the petite, squished little features of their first born, their son. 

After all these years, all the awkwardness and good friendship that turned to love Dani never thought she’d be here. But she was. She was a mother. And he was perfect. Absolutely flawless and peacefully sleeping in his swaddle. She herself was exhausted, but she could sleep later. She didn’t want to miss a thing.

“Keep the slinging to a minimum please.” He laughs as he plops into the driver’s seat and passes her the requested gatorade. “Don’t want to get pulled over on the way to the hospital.” With that they were off to the hospital where his life was about to change forever. Dol would even consider this a miracle with how both of them had previously been told they would probably never have children. - and even if he was excited his nerves were still bundled up tighter than he might be able to manage. 

“We can do this right?”

“I think it’s a little too late to back out now.” She gripped the side of seat, trying to make herself relax, but it wasn’t easy. Yeah, it didn’t really hurt at the time, but sooner or later it would. She inhaled deeply, eyes shutting. “It’ll be fine.”

[ofrezfeber]

Dolcetto was going as fast as he could without getting pulled over but he was going to have to push it if he wanted to get there before the baby did.

"I'm supposed to tell you to breath right?" With one last turn they pulled into the hospital and up to the entrance of the hospital. "What now?" He looks over at her, worry spread across his features.

“I can get those. Did you make an overnight bag?” He keeps his hand under her elbow to support her as he leads her towards the door. “Just give me a minute to grab everything and I’ll be right back.” Dolcetto disappeared into the back of the house and emerged a few minutes later with Dani’s favorite cameras along with their bags. 

“Think of anything else you might need between now and the car and I can run back and get it.” Maybe he was hovering again but this time he hardly cares. They do not talk very much heading to the car and he honestly cannot blame here. She would say something if she was in pain so he can only assume things are going the way they should.

“I just want my Gatorade. It’s in the fridge, the green one. I already have the bag in the back of the car with baby stuff and some polaroid cameras. And charges.” She was ready in the technical sense and now her body was primed physically. But was she mentally prepared? Not really. The doe was terrified.

“Also check about traffic flow on the highway because I won’t hesitate to sling afterbirth out the window.”

[ofrezfeber]

She kind of expected instant pain, but so far no. Her heart, however, was beating insanely fast. Dani inhaled deeply, her eyes shutting. “Cameras,” she said. “I need cameras. I didn’t take my picture today.” 

Which probably sounded stupid, but dammit, she had taken a picture every week and she wasn’t going to just forget the day they were going to be having their first born. Besides, labor wasn’t instant.

“I can get those. Did you make an overnight bag?” He keeps his hand under her elbow to support her as he leads her towards the door. “Just give me a minute to grab everything and I’ll be right back.” Dolcetto disappeared into the back of the house and emerged a few minutes later with Dani’s favorite cameras along with their bags.

She had complained to him about not wanting to break her water while asleep because of laundry. Not once did she think she’d be cracking while trying to plug the play station back in after the cat knocked the wire out of the wall. But the minute she felt the trickle pass her thigh she shot up, though not without hitting her head off of the TV stand.

“Ow, fuck. Dol! Dol, it’s time!”

[ofrezfeber]

"What?" A higher than usual voice echoed through the kitchen before he rushes over to her side. He rested his hand gently beneath her elbow as she stands and stabilizes herself.

"What do you want me to bring with us?" Dolcetto was on high alert but he did not want to stress her - or himself - out more than needed. He had already prepared a small overnight bag just in case because he would be with her every step of the way.

   It had been a long seven months for the two three of them. Dolcetto was still feeling insanely insecure about being a father but after spending time with his family for a while and begrudgingly visiting even his adoptive family he felt like he could do it. Maybe this could be where he belongs with the women he loves and their little baby boy. Though they probably would not see him for another month or so, Dani and Dolcetto were planning as far ahead as they could. Which was he was in the middle of piecing together a crib they had purchased months ago.

   "Is this why people say not to have kids?“ He tossed the part on the floor and leaned up against the wall. “How are you doing over there?” Dolcetto pushed himself off the ground and towards the oversized recliner they had to have for the baby’s room. He half expect to see Dani sleeping but she was full of surprises lately.

[ofrezfeber]

     “Why don’t we hang out more often, Viper?” Dolcetto had been nursing his beer quietly for some time before asking. Honestly it is probably his fault but with everything going on with Dani he had fallen out of touch. This has to change. 

     “I mean an empty bar isn’t exactly fun but it’s nice seeing you.”

[ofrezfeber]

     “I like Christmas as much as the next person but aren’t the stores skipping Thanksgiving? The music is already driving me crazy.”

[ofrezfeber]

     Dolcetto lessened his grip on the steering wheel as he noticed his knuckles turning white again.This is definitely his fault and he feels bad for throwing Dani in this situation, but they need to go and get his dad from the airport. It was some time ago that he had been asked to do this but with everything that has happened it simply slipped his mind.

     “I’m sorry about this.” It was not the first apology and it probably will not be the last. “Damian is actually really awesome and not at all what you would expect. The only thing he was actually upset about was that I hadn’t got in contact with them sooner. Which isn’t my fault so he was understanding about it. I think you’ll love him and I know he’ll love you too. With how I talked you up at least.” He was rambling now out of nervousness for himself since he has not seen his dad in some time.

     “I can make you something if you’re just gonna sit there all night.” He tapped an empty glass next to him as he spoke to the silent presence perked on a bar stool.
