Welcome to Gaia! ::

So there were benifits to carrying around a baby...Like the looks he got from girls reguarding how cute it was for a big brother taking care of his infant sister, or "Awwwwe! She's so cute!" The attention was awesome, really, especially since Aly was currently sleeping soundly. He did good, he managed to feed her, change her, AND feed her properly without her crying in the end! Look at who's going to get the big brother of the year award now! Pretty soon his parents would see that he certainly did not want any children any time soon, especially since Ryan really couldnt carry a child [ he IS male after all ]. Hell, you'd think him dating a male would make them happy since there can be no accidents unless they "accidentally" adopt or something.

There was no pleasing his parents sometimes, really.

Dmitry kept walking through the bookstore, looking for how to books on caring for a baby when he thought he saw a familiar face tht he literally saw last night on the roof of his father's building. Peering around the corner, keeping the stroller hidden for now, Dmitry sighed and raised an eye brow. "Nadia?"

Well, the kiss was unexpected, but then again, he realized last night that Nadia was a very touchy kind of girl. He also realized she meant nothing by the kiss which was why he was okay with it. It was that moment that Dmitry's ears picked up the subtle gurggling and hiccuping of his little sister, sighing and bringing the stroller around the side of them to pick her up. The guggling meant that she was awake, but the hiccuping meant that she was going to cry pretty loudly if she wasnt held within a moment of waking up.

Once Alyona was safely secured in his arm, resting on his shoulder, Dmitry gave Nadia a sigh while he gently rubbed the baby's back. "Been better I suppose....Want a free little sister? She comes with her own furniture and everything to get you started on being the best sibling you can be...." He smiled softly and manuvered Alyona so Nadia could see her better, keeping her nestled in the crook of his arm instead.

"Her name is Alyona. Shes also the reason why Im here...I dont do babies at all..."

WELL, some one wanted ms. little poopsack? SURE!

Dmitry chuckled before carefully shifting the tiny baby so he could move her over to Nadia, tickling her belly once she was safely in her arms. "I do need help actually. I dont know where to go for a self help book on babies...God I dont know what my parents were thinking..." There were times he just wanted to say ******** it and go smoke just to calm his nerves. Bu then there were other times where Alyona looked so adorable he couldn't bear to stay mad at her for too long. She was a baby after all, doing what her current responsibility is.

Maybe he could see if Nadia would want to watch her for a bit some times? She seemed more than capable...He'd have to talk it over with his parents of course.

"Yeah, they were also trying to deteer me from having children too early, so taking care of your baby sister will quickly fix this notion. I guess two men can concive a child? Because Im not dating a female..."

The imagrey in his head made him shudder. The thought of a pregnant moody Ryan ontop of an already moody Ryan just did not appeal to the poor man at all. However, when Nadia meantioned taking care of her three younger brothers, he truly felt sympathy. Aylona was one tiny infant, he couldnt imagine caring for three, god the amount of cigarettes he would be smoking down would increase threefold. "How did you manage to do it without driving yourself insane?"

The only noise Alyona could make was a small gurgle, her small little gloved fists moving around, absentmindedly, which did cause her older brother to smile. "I think she's a bit happy you did that. Can never tell fully just yet." His eyebrows raised when the thought of learning everything by accident rang true to him right at this moment. Everything he was learning about Alyona was indeed by accident, like the one time where he found out that if she was making a face of contentment, it means she will need a daiper change within the first few seconds after that smile otherwise she would be hollering.

He took the book and skimmed it over, nodding when he found some decent advice on proper feeding times as well as resetting them. As far as the baby needing anything, well, she had everything she needed at his apartment as well as his parent's home. She could stand to have more clothing though and his parents did give him a monthly budget that he could use to get his sister whatever she would need.

"Well, we could go get her some new clothes...Shes already starting to out grow the ones I have for her."

"Like a seahorse huh?" The mental picture that one scentence created caused him to laugh pretty hard while he imagined Ryan as a seahorse, grumpily giving birth to some mini Ryans and Dmitrys. "I could just have my own, but I really dont want to anytime soon. Even if I did, would have to find a surrogate or something anyway." He looked off to the distance with a sigh. Family man he was not right now.

"This means your mothering insticts should be something amazing huh?" He leaned in, tickling the infant's belly. Alyona wriggled her nose, gurggling and kicking out her feet just a little in the cute onsie she was wearing. "Heh, she might. Only becuase I change her diapers...Little poop bag." He studied the smile and shook his head. Accoring to his mother, Alyona wouldnt be able to give any one a true smile for a couple of months. So the little fart probably passed gass or something.

"Well you can have her for as long as you want. Lets start by purchasing this book." He flashed her a smile and started walking the book to the register, pushing the empty stroller that had the baby's diaper bag in it.

"Male sea horse is correct. I totally spouted this little poop bag out of my stomach. Hurt too by the way...I dont know women do it!" Dmitry tapped his chin for a moment while he decided where they were going to go after he purchased this book. He had a helper now and it was amazing! Maybe his mother would agree to let Nadia watch his sister more often so he could get a break? Probably not...

"Babies R Us sounds like a good idea...Maybe Ill get the book from there. Mom is registered in their database for some odd reason..." He also really needed a cigarette and hasn't had one since yesterday. Maybe he could quit again after all? He knew it would make several people happy, his boyfriend included. Dmitry placed the baby book back on the shelf and shouldered the baby bag, motioning for Nadia to follow him.
