"She's so cute but she's really, really tiny!" Axel giggled and shuffled in closer, he and Lisa making a pretty good team taking care of the baby. It wasn't until she started to get fussy that it became a problem. Even happy babies have their moments of distress and April started to make a sad noise and struggle. Mick turned his head and then jutted it towards Leonard.

"Can you hold her for a sec? She's probably wet. I'll check her in a few." He just didn't want to risk her rolling out of Lisa's arms. Besides, Leonard had yet to hold the baby and Mick was kind of curious how he'd handle it. This first meeting... it was really hard. Lisa hit the nail on the head. Leonard was everything to him. Leonard and April.

Mick came over while Lisa told the story about the girl straddling the car as being a 'teacher/ballerina who owns a lot of cars' and set the plates of food onto the coffee table, clearing his throat until they looked at him. "Foods done, knock yourselves out. Don't eat that third one, it's for your brother." He smiled at the kids and then looked over at Leonard, deciding to take this time to talk to Leonard while the kids ate.

As he moved towards him, he snagged the remote and turned the TV on to some kind of cartoon to keep them occupied.

He reached out and gently took April from Leonard, kissing her on the forehead as he did so. "I'm sorry." Mick kept his voice quiet because it was just easier this way. "I let you down. No, shut up, don't interrupt me." Mick gave him a look before he could dismiss it. "I fucked up, I get that but I had her and I panicked about everything, I didn't think. I spent the past six months missing you and being too much of a coward to pick up the phone." And all he wanted was to know what he could do to still be in Leonard's life but Leonard was giving those vibes. He didn't want Mick. "I want to help you. I don't care if you got someone else, I don't have to date you to love you, you got that? And I do. I love you, man. And I got your back."

Mick sighed. It wasn't a trap, he wasn't tying to hurt Leonard but he was so hard wired into this state of mind and there was no winning. "You were worried about Axel, right? The new kid." Fine, if Leonard wasn't going to share, Mick was just going to piece it all together from their texting session. "He needs a legal guardian and that ain't gonna be you, not in the eyes of the law. I can do it. I got a good job, I got a little girl, I even got references now. I could help you have that kid safe."

"I do some free lance welding. I got offered a full time contract but I got a kid so I can't but there's always that. I can take it up whenever, there's a window there. I can sell that to any social service." Mick explained as he bounced April up and down in his arms. "Daddy is making plenty of money but he's tired and doesn't want to dick around with shelves. Does he? Huh? What do you think, cub? Is daddy fine the way he is?"

April giggled and flailed her arms, happily chanted dada.

Mick looked back at Leonard and sighed, unsure what to do. "Leonard, you got to let me help you. If not me, someone. Cause your dad is coming back in what? A month? And you got two kids, one of which you don't have any legal right to."

"I said we were going to put him down. And I meant that." Mick shrugged his shoulders and looked down at his little girl. "He didn't know until he turned up, then it was too late. I don't even know if he knows it's my kid, he just saw me holding a kid and he made a vague threat." Mick huffed and gave Leonard a look. "You wanna work with me on this or what?"

"Then let's make a plan." Mick grunted as he pulled April in close and started to rock her lightly. "Now go sit down, eat your grilled cheese and watch cartoons while I change my kid. Then I'll put her down for a nap and we can arrange a time to talk." A time without kids, hopefully. If they could find a way to wrangle that sort of thing.

"Lisa! Leonard fell asleep!" Axel tugged on Lisa's sleeve to get her attention away from the cartoon and eyed Leonard's sleeping form like it was somehow dangerous and bad. Leonard was asleep and he was the adult and they needed him. He shuffled closer to Lisa as Mick came back in, unsure what to do.

Mick looked at Leonard and rolled his eyes. "Figures."

"Lis." Mick hissed lightly, giving her a look and throwing his arms out. He should have had a proper sleep, he probably only got like fifteen. "Never do that to April." Mick warned before he looked down at Leonard and sighed. "Come on, you, go crash in my bed for an hour or so."

"No, don't." Axel tugged at Lisa, as if she could somehow defeat Mick's influence.

"Leonard needs sleep. Let him sleep in future." Rolling his eyes, he pulled a face at Lisa and then gestured towards his room. "Let's go make a plan."

It seemed like the best way to go with this.
