"Trust me, I'm pretty sure my parents are going to be surprised we have the stuff that we do." Desmond started lathering up his hair with shampoo as he talked through the curtain to Ocean standing just outside. "Getting ready for a kid can be hard for people who plan it let alone people like us. We're flying by the seat of our pants here but I think we've done pretty freakin' well." He sighed, washing the shampoo from his hair as he finished up his shower. "Besides, my brother had a kid three years ago and he's had to raise my nephew by himself. My parents are just a little worried that I'm following in his footsteps. He's done alright for himself, but we all watched him struggle to get where they are now. A lot of that is thanks to my parents for helping him take care of my nephew if he needed the help, and they just want to make sure we have everything we need too."

When he heard Ocean's fears of not being a good parent, Desmond turned the water off and grabbed a towel as he carefully stepped out of the bathtub, one hand on the wall. "You've already proven yourself to be a great father and they're not even here yet," Desmond assured him, moving to kiss Ocean despite the fact that he was still dripping water here and there. "You always do everything you can to make sure they're okay even if it's the little things like cleaning up the water off the floor when you take a shower so I don't slip. There's no perfect way to be a parent, Blue."
