Ethan kept a hold on Gunnar as he reached for Min. He knew the boy would most likely want attention from his mother, being away from her for the most part for several days. And he knew that not only would her injuries prevent her from holding him right now, but also the fact that she was holding an even smaller baby in her arms who was even more fragile. He figured Gunnar wouldn't understand any of that because of his age, but maybe the novelty of Chloe would keep him otherwise occupied and he carefully watched his reaction to the new baby.

Blue eyes snapped up to Mommy as she spoke and he gave her a wide smile. "Ma ma, ma ma," he babbled, bouncing a bit in Daddy's arms. He didn't really understand what she was saying, but she was using that tone that meant he couldn't have something. He gave her a slightly confused look as the smile faded just a bit and his eyes focused again on what she was holding as Mommy held her up.

A really small person. A baby. He had seen one a couple times and Mommy was holding one the last time he saw her at that strange place. Why was she holding it again? It was Gunnar's baby? He looked at her curiously a minute then reached his hand out to touch her.

"Careful, buddy," Ethan said tentatively, making sure Gunnar didn't grab or poke. "She's just little, we're gentle with Chloe." He smiled then showed his son how he gently stroked her arm. He knew Gunnar could really go after some of the animals and wanted to make sure he wasn't too rough with the baby. Looking up at Min, he added, "Mum said she fed him not too long ago and that she'd be over in a little bit with some dinner.." He thought he could handle things being off from work for a little bit, but he was really thankful that his parents lived close as well. And that reminded him.. "I got it squared away at work today to have the rest of the week off, then I got three more weeks off." The time off came a little earlier than he expected, but it worked out.
