William bit his lip in thought. He leaned against the headboard and kept his children close. "Joshua, Jordan, Robert, Christopher...," William randomly stated names, trying to think of one.

"Christopher!" Mike decided, the child's eyes widened at his father's sudden outburst. "It's good. It's really really good." The child patted the man's chin.

William grinned. "The little baby with wings is Christopher," he smiled, reaching over to kiss the tiny baby's forehead.

The boy closed his eyes and opened his mouth in a smile, his feet kicking happily. "They're not difficult," Mike remarked, grinning.

William laughed quietly. "Now it's time for you, mister," William whispered, taking his son and picking him up. His daughter rested safely on his shoulder as he held his other son in front of him. He smiled when the baby's eyes widened. He made sure to support its head.

Mike smiled shyly. "Can I give it a try...?" He cleared his throat. "How about Felix?"

The baby wrinkled its tiny nose, and William almost wanted to do the same. Just let him decide... "Fine," he smiled. He looked down at his son. I just hope you're going to be okay with it...

Mike laughed. "No, not fine, alright. I suck at this." He blushed a little. "It was better than Robert, though. I'm not calling my kid Bob."

Subject: Re: Swear I was born right in the doorway Sat Dec 01, 2007 5:52 pm

"It's fine," William smiled again. He watched as his child look at him with wide, confused eyes.

Subject: Re: Swear I was born right in the doorway Sat Dec 01, 2007 5:54 pm

"No, I insist." He raised an eyebrow. "You think of something better."

Subject: Re: Swear I was born right in the doorway Sat Dec 01, 2007 5:58 pm

William shook his head. "You wanted to chose one."

Subject: Re: Swear I was born right in the doorway Sat Dec 01, 2007 6:01 pm

Mike smiled, amused. "Yeah, but it doesn't help if it sucks." He shook his head. "Seriously. You're better at this than I am. Choose."

Subject: Re: Swear I was born right in the doorway Sat Dec 01, 2007 6:03 pm

William shook his head again, the little girl on his shoulder drooling on his neck as she went back to sleep. "You chose one," he said calmly, still smiling.

Subject: Re: Swear I was born right in the doorway Sat Dec 01, 2007 6:04 pm

Mike was beginning to get a little irritated, but didn't let it show - at least, not too much. "So I can call him Taco if I want to?"

Subject: Re: Swear I was born right in the doorway Sat Dec 01, 2007 6:09 pm

William bit his lip and looked down out of habit. And this is probably the only downside of living here. We argue all the time. "Why don't you just chose the one you wanted in the first place?" he asked, hiding the fear in his voice.

Subject: Re: Swear I was born right in the doorway Sat Dec 01, 2007 6:13 pm

"Because you don't like it, and he doesn't like it either." Mike frowned a little. "If I want to do something stupid, I like to think you'd stop me - right? Well, don't let me choose a stupid name."

Subject: Re: Swear I was born right in the doorway Sat Dec 01, 2007 6:15 pm

William made soothing noises as his son began to whimper. He rubbed the baby's extremely small back. "It isn't stupid and I never said that I didn't like it," he said, still avoiding Mike's eyes.

Subject: Re: Swear I was born right in the doorway Sat Dec 01, 2007 6:20 pm

Mike's expression didn't change. "Well, he doesn't, so that settles it."

Subject: Re: Swear I was born right in the doorway Sat Dec 01, 2007 6:22 pm

William watched as his son's nose wrinkled again, this time right before the tiny baby sneezed, making a small squeaking noise.

Subject: Re: Swear I was born right in the doorway Sat Dec 01, 2007 6:35 pm

Mike observed the boy with wide eyes, his features softening. He gently touched his cheek.

Subject: Re: Swear I was born right in the doorway Sat Dec 01, 2007 6:37 pm

William smiled down at his son. "I think he just needed to sneeze," he said calmly, petting the boy's hair. The tiny baby sneezed again, making a louder squeaking noise accompanied by a whimper.

Subject: Re: Swear I was born right in the doorway Sat Dec 01, 2007 6:54 pm

Mike felt bad. Very bad. "I...err...uhm...sorry?" he mumbled, trying to look at his other children instead.

Subject: Re: Swear I was born right in the doorway Sat Dec 01, 2007 6:56 pm

William held the baby's head close to his chest as it snuggled into him. "What's wrong?" he asked, looking over at the guitarist.

Subject: Re: Swear I was born right in the doorway Sat Dec 01, 2007 7:05 pm

Mike raised his eyes slowly. "I overreacted?" he whispered.

Subject: Re: Swear I was born right in the doorway Sat Dec 01, 2007 7:08 pm

William had a confused look in his eyes. "Overreacted to what?" he asked softly, kissing his child's head. He smiled as Christopher whispered the word "Da!" before grasping Mike's shirt again.
