Tell a Friend
Characters: Michiko Passos and open to Keegan Howe, Rowan Cabot, Hunter Sommer, Gregoire Leclaire, Sim Buford, and Mari Parker.
Setting: Michiko's house in NOLA, Wednesday afternoon
Content: Michiko says it better stay worksafe in front of Isamu
Summary: Michiko has some friends over to say hello to Isamu!
ooc: I figure we can just do different threads for people so it doesn't get cray cray.

Michiko was incredibly nervous. It was the first time she would be introducing Isamu to her friends. She had seen them all only a few weeks ago, but then again... a few weeks ago she didn’t have a baby to hold in her arms. Eli had been wonderful and supportive the whole time (that was a whole different can of worms to worry about though). Now was the time for her friends. So after Eli left the apartment she changed out of her sweats and into something nicer for her friends. Anna had been making cookies and Isamu was just waking up from his nap.

She picked up her son and brought him to the rocking chair. Michi seated herself and rocked, gently cooing to Isamu as she waited for her friends to arrive.

Michi/Hunter/Mari/Gray
Hunter had been more than happy to be invited out to see Michiko's baby, and she didn't need to be asked twice. For a girl who had no desire for future children of her own, the blonde was generally a hit with other people's children. Babies and toddlers, and even older kids. Perhaps, her mother had reasoned, it was because she shared a similar mentality with them. Hunter preferred to think it was possibly because of her energy level. Children were really the only people out there that were more impulsive and happy-go-lucky than Hunter herself.

She had gotten dressed that morning, and picked up both Gray and Mari, before taking them out on a little shopping trip before actually arriving at Michi's place.

The shopping trip had gotten a little out of hand, evidenced by the several gift bags that she had Gray lugging along beside him, as they approached the front door. Knocking loudly, Hunter waited, glancing back at her two friends standing with her, flashing them a grin.

Michi/Hunter/Mari/Gray
Michiko heard the knock at the door and was up quickly, carrying Isamu with her as she made her way to the door. Although her eyes were tired and there were bags underneath them she was genuinely excited to be around her friends. "Hey guys!" she said brightly, throwing an arm around Hunter and pulling her into a half hug. She planted a kiss on the blonde's cheek.

"I'm so glad you could all make it," she ushered them into the house, giving them kisses and hugs as they passed her. She was surprised to see all the bags they had. "Have a seat," she said gesturing toward the couch.

Michi/Hunter/Mari/Gray
"Hello," Gray chimed in, complete lack of enthusiasm evident in his voice. He was a little… less thrilled than Hunter. It may or may not have had anything to do with the fact that she'd made him carry all the bags, or that this whole visit involved a baby.

Not just anyone's baby-- Michiko's baby. She was one of them. Their age. Their friend! They weren't old enough to be having babies, and now her whole life was over. He couldn't imagine what she must be going through.

As he made his way inside, he turned to face the girls, bags still in hand, and glanced over at Hunter. He couldn't think of what he would do if that had happened to them.

His rampant imagination took hold, and before he could stop himself, he pictured his sometimes-on sometimes-off girlfriend with a very full, very pregnant belly. His face blanched.

The Canadian shut his eyes and shook his head to rid himself of that image. Too late. Traumatized forever. "Uh. So. These are for you! Where do you want them? Is it hot in here? It's definitely hot in here."

Michi/Hunter/Mari/Gray
Mari was totally stoked to be going to see her roomie's kid. It still felt slightly weird hearing it, but Mari was happy none-the-less. She couldn't even imagine having a kid of her own, that was for sure, but what was the harm in totally spoiling Michi's?

Mari hadn't gone as overboard as Hunter witht he present buying, though she did get a couple of things, which she carried into the house behind Hunter and Gray. Gray's face had been a source of amusement all goddamn day, Mari was surprised anyone's face could actually get that pale. She'd been having fun singing lullabys in his ear as she was riding bitch seat all the way there.

She flopped onto the sofa, thrusting her bag of baby stuff next to Hunter's haul, and started at the little baby fondly. "He's going to be the best dressed kid. Ever."

Michi/Hunter/Mari/Gray
Hunter returned the kiss and hug, moving over toward the couch when she was released. She glanced toward Gray, scowling just a little at him; he'd been acting like a freak ever since they had all met up earlier. "It ain't even that hot in here," she assured him, as she flopped down onto the couch, and patted the spot beside her.

When Mari commented about Isamu's wardrobe, the blonde grinned. "Hey, look who he comes from.. of course he'll be well dressed. Playground pimp, man."

Michi/Hunter/Mari/Gray
Michiko laughed at Gray's face, he looked ungodly uncomfortable. "You can put them on the coffee table Uncle Gregoire," she teased giving his cheek a pinch. "You guys the best, thanks so much! Do you want some tea Grey?" she asked raising an eyebrow. "Actually, does everyone want some iced tea? I made some this morning when little man was asleep."

She beamed at Mari and Hunter's comments. "He really is going to be the best dressed kid ever, isn't he?" she looked down at Isamu and cooed. "Is, don't you have the best aunties and uncles ever?"

She looked up at her friends, she was still standing in the middle of the room. "Does someone want to hold him?" she asked, her eyes bright with excitement.

Michiko was happy again, it had been hard not being surrounded by her friends the past few weeks. She needed some one on one time with her best friend though. After passing the baby around and glomping Grey with Isamu, she put her hand on Keegan's shoulder. "Hey, can I steal you for a hot minute?"

Keegan/Michi
Keegan had arrived with Rowan earlier, and spent a little bit of time fawning over Isamu before the child was again passed off to someone else. Babies were cute when they weren't crying. It helped that he was rather good with children.

He was standing idle to the side, watching the child and his current holder when Michi laid her hand on his shoulder and brought him out of his watchfulness. "Yea, sure," he nodded and turned towards her, ready to follow her where ever she wanted to talk to him.

Keegan/Michi
It was nice to see all of her friends being so cute with Isamu. She led him into the kitchen but she was too antsy to sit down. "So, this is crazy right?" she asked with a little laugh, her arms crossing her chest. She hadn't really talked about her son and what it would mean for her future to anyone.

Keegan/Michi
He followed her to the kitchen, his hands in his pockets rather casually as he walked along behind her. Keegan didn't bother sitting for the moment either, instead choosing to lean up against the counter.

"I know," he nodded with a small laugh. "It's going to take a bit of getting used to, but Isamu is an adorable kid. So it won't take long."

Keegan/Michi
"Yeah, he's amazing," she said softly with a big grin. "I just... I can't believe I'm a mom. Like... a real mom," he took his hand and sighed contentedly. "I just... you know I would not have made it without you guys."

Keegan/Michi
Keegan couldn't help but smile give his best friend a warm smile in return. He glanced down to her hand before looking back up at her and shrugging slightly. "You are our friend, our Michi. You know we're here for you when you need us, and even when you don't necessarily want us." He couldn't fight ending that statement with a rather broad grin.

Keegan/Michi
Michi couldn't help but smile. "I know you guys will always be there. That's why I kinda have an important question for you. I know it seems like a lot of responsibility and feel free to say no, but I can't think of anyone who would be a better god father for my son," she rambled a bit in her excitement and looked at her best friend earnestly.

Keegan/Michi
It took a moment for his mind to catch up with her words. He was listening, certainly, but there was an extra moment when he realized she had specifically asked him to be the god father to her child.

Something about the thought alone got Keegan to smile a little wider if that were even possible. "You want me to be Isamu's god father? Really? I mean, I'd love to, if you were sure."

Keegan/Michi
"I really do," she said brightly. "I'm positive! You're the only person in the world I would want to be his god father." She couldn't help the goofy grin on her face. "You're first mission, if you so chose to accept it, is to help me start planning for the best first birthday ever," she laughed. "We have a year, I'm pretty sure it's going to be the best thing ever," she grinned.

Keegan/Michi
He'd heard of people he knew playing the role of god parent, his brother for one, and it always seemed like something small. But at this point, when she asked, it seemed so much bigger and cooler than that. "This kid is going to have the best birthday known to man, Michi. Mission accepted."

Keegan/Michi
She knew that it would be easier with her friends around. Michi laughed and leaned back. "Awesome!" she gave him a big hug, feeling incredibly relieved.

"He's going to have the best god father ever."

Keegan/Michi
When she hugged him, Keegan wrapped his arms around her and hugged her back tightly, briefly lifting her from the floor before setting her back down. Michi was released after a moment as he smiled down at her. "Damn right he does."

With a nod of his head towards the rest of the party, he said, "We should get back. Before anyone accidentally breaks my godson."

Keegan/Michi
She smiled. "Good call. You never know with that crowd," walking out into the living room with Keegan. Isamu was still in one piece.
