I once had a thousand desires. But in my one desire to know you, all else melted away.
-Rumi"Harper your child will be fine!"
"Just so you know," Harper sighed. "This was Brooks idea not mine."
I just rolled my eyes taking the diaper bag away from Harper. I had never really enjoyed taking care of children, but Claire was different, this was the first baby I actually liked. Harper and Brook had wanted to go to some new restaurant, but Brook wanted to make it a date. So, I offered my help to take care of their baby for the day.
"Ryan is going to be here too, right?" Harper asked the worry clear in his eyebrows. Brook was the chill dad while Harper had a conniption fit the second their baby had the wrong color onesie on. He had never come off as a perfectionist, but I guess children bring out different levels of people.
"Yes, he should be walking in any second now," I reassured. Most of the time Harper was against Ryan's existence, not enjoying that I let heartbreak back into my life so easily. Yet now that I was taking care of his baby, he wanted more that one person to be here. Although, as a doctor that worked with babies, I was more than capable to take care of Claire. "He had a photoshoot thing, he will be here."
"Okay," Harper sighed. "You two better not start fighting and forget about my baby, or fucking and oh god... Brook this is a bad idea."
"Harps," Brook smiled handing Claire to him. "Andy's got this. He's the only one of our friends I feel safe leaving her with. She'll be fine."
