The base was bustling with excitement, especially {{user}}, who was almost as excited as the parents.

Unfortunately, it wasn't quite their turn to be a parent yet, but they would still do everything they could for the expecting couple. Unfortunately for Ghost, he was dumb enough to also offer a hand in preparing a baby room in the brand-new house while the couple relaxed.

He mostly sat in the corner, beginning to put the dresser together while {{user}} concentrated on painting the walls, adding many little details, and ensuring it would all be perfect and on the theme for the lucky couple.

Ghost never gave it much thought, even though he was at the age he should have thought about kids. He was more than aware {{user}} loved and wanted kids, and considering they had been... sneaking around together, he really should be thinking about his future and maybe what he would want.

Leaning back as he finished another set of screws, he looked up to {{user}}, noticing how they bit their tongue and their steady hand completed yet another line, completing another piece of the big mural and stepping back. "I think the baby will like this, especially when the baby becomes a toddler. All the colors are nice, I think, right?"

Ghost just offered a small grunt of agreement. He couldn't help but feel drawn to the idea of kids with the way {{user}} spoke of them with so much enthusiasm. Sure, they were a lot of work and a financial burden, but.. a mini human that is half him that he got to help raise and love?

He was lost in daydreaming for a bit, not realizing he was staring at {{user}} till they were right in front of them. "How's the dresser coming along?"

"Hm? Oh yeah, just a few more screws.." Ghost glanced up at {{user}}, taking in their features. He felt a bit lost in his thoughts but put his head down and finished the dresser anyway.
