You, Me, and Baby part 2
Jun. 19th, 2018 11:10 amNino waited patiently as Jun read through his references. He wasn’t worried. His last family had been almost embarrassing in their praise of him and his teachers had also been very complimentary. But he could tell that the manager was looking for something to moan about. Instead of looking at him he focused on the idol deciding that he looked a lot like any new parent and yet somehow managed to make it look good. It wasn’t something most parents could manage but Nino knew that Satoshi wasn’t most parents. The man was an idol for a reason after all.
“What is the baby’s name? I don’t think you said…” He asked Satoshi jolting him out of his half sleep state. The idol blinked wildly for a moment, trying to dislodge the sleep from his eyes, before giving a loud yawn and answering him a rough voice;
“Um…He doesn’t have one…I mean…My sister hasn’t given him one…”
“So, you’ve been calling him baby for a week?” Nino asked feeling more than a pang of sympathy for the poor baby. I f he was two months old not to have a name was just wrong in Nino’s opinion. There was clearly some disconnect with the mother and it seemed the idol was too startled out of his comfort zone to realise. The idol gave a flush blinking down at the baby before muttering;
“Yup…Is that wrong?”
“A little… I mean…You’re technically papa now, maybe it would help you both feel more comfortable…” Nino suggested softly surprised when the man’s eyes welled up with tears and his whole face collapsed in on itself.
“I can’t do this, I knew I would be useless, I can’t even name goldfish…”
“Satoshi, pull yourself together…” Jun grumbled from behind the papers, but Nino smiled sympathetically and knelt on the floor in front of the idol patting him lightly on his leg as he hummed;
“It’s okay, you’re over tired that’s all, most new parents feel that way, more so when baby has been keeping you up all night. What you need is a long sleep…”
“He won’t stop screaming. He starts around the same time every night. He sleeps for about half an hour and then he starts again…See…?” Satoshi groaned as the baby started. It was a small wail at first but quickly became a full-blown scream. Nino would have been surprised if he hadn’t spent some time on the mother and baby ward when he was training and knew how loud they could get. “He misses his mum. He knows I’m useless…”
“Actually, I think he has colic…Can I try something…?” Nino asked permission before unhitching the baby fr om the car seat when the idol gave a nod. “Hey baby, don’t you have a good set of lungs on you for a little man, ne?” He cooed softly to the baby before standing up and turning him over, so he was resting on his arm with his face pointed to the floor. He rubbed his back slowly in a circular motion and slowly swung him back and forth until the crying stopped. “There now, that’s much better, ne, okay, I know it hurts but crying like that will just make it worse…”
“Is he okay? Does he need to go to the doctor? Have I broken him?” Satoshi asked with genuine panic in his voice and Nino gave him a smile shaking his head as he lay the baby next to Masaki’s fish tank before lightly rubbing the distended belly.
“Nah, sadly he’s just got colic. All you can do is ride it out. It will fade when it’s ready…” Nino mumbled gently as the fish tank bubbled softly. “It’s draining though, no wonder you are looking so frazzled…”
“…Sorry…” Satoshi mumbled absently running his fingers through his hair and making it worse rather than better.
“Don’t be, papa, you pull it off…” Nino smiled with a wink regretting it when the man blinked slowly in surprise and fell silent looking at Jun who had been staring at him like a hawk since he had taken the baby. Flushing brightly Nino turned his attention back to the baby continuing to rub his belly and then up to the chest hopefully easing out the air bubbles that were there causing him to be irritable. “There now, aren’t you a handsome one when you’re not screaming…”
“When will you be able to start?” Jun asked surprising him. He had seriously been expecting to be refused because of his comment but it seemed as though he had passed some kind of test.
“Immediately. I mean…As soon as you would like…”
“Immediately sounds good…” Satoshi mumbled from Jun’s side and Nino gave a nod biting hard on his lip and focusing all his attention on the baby while Masaki and the two men went over his contract. He had helped set it up, so he knew what was in it. Two days off a week, his hours would be longer than normal given the age of the baby, but Satoshi had agreed to pay him extra upfront. He couldn’t believe it. He was going to be Nanny for the Ohno Satoshi. He was going to live with Japan’s top idol. He felt like doing backflips. Yeah, he knew it was going to be work and that he would probably hushed out of the way but how many people could say that they lived with an idol? More so one as adorable as Satoshi. It was like a dream. He had been so bummed when he had lost his last family, and he would still miss the kids but he was living with Ohno Satoshi… “Um…Ninomiya-san?”
“Um? Yeah…” Nino flushed pulling his attention back to the adults in the room giving them all a smile. Jun was on his feet and looking at his phone now and Nino got the feeling the appointment was over and they wanted to leave.
“Ohno-san and Matsumoto-san we’re saying that it was time to leave” Masaki hummed with a smile as he offered him a pen and some ink for his seal. “Since you are starting immediately you should grab your stuff after you’ve signed this…”
“Um…Yup…I will just take my overnight bag for tonight and then grab my stuff tomorrow” Nino agreed with a nod reading through the contract noticing that Jun had added a lot about privacy, like he was going to flash an innocent baby around, but he signed it and stamped his seal anyway. He handed the baby to Masaki before vanishing from the office and heading upstairs to Masaki’s apartment where his stuff was. He almost skipped the last few feet wondering what life would be like with Satoshi and baby.
