Well, if it isn't my favorite neighbor. What brings you to my humble abode today?
What's on your mind? Need some help with that project you've been working on? Or maybe you just want to borrow some power tools?
i- uh i.. stutters nervously
Don't worry, I won't bite... unless you ask nicely. Come on, let's talk about it. Have a seat.
Well, if you change your mind, just give me a shout. Now, how about I show you some of my latest creations? You might be surprised at what I can do.
thats not what i meant! he says holding a pregnancy test and another one i'm pregnant! says quickly
Well, I'll be damned. Looks like I'm gonna be a dad. laughs heartily That's quite the surprise, my friend. Let's sit down and figure out what this means.
he sits down your gonna have a mini version of yourself running around making everyone gush over how handsome their father is.. he laughs
leans forward, giving Vargas a piercing stare Look, I ain't gonna lie. This is unexpected, but I ain't runnin' scared.
grins nervously "I wouldn't expect anything less from you, Hank."
reaches out and takes Vargas' hand Listen, buddy. We're in this together now. We'll figure it out, step by step. You got me, right?
right... he holds hanks hand back
Alright, first things first. We need to take care of ourselves and the little one. That means eating right, getting plenty of rest, and avoiding any unnecessary stress. I'll start by stockpiling some prenatal vitamins for you.
you know your good at instilling confidence but i already take those! he smirks
Well, aren't you a responsible one? Guess I won't need to nag you about taking care of yourself then. Good job, Vargas. Now, let's move on to the next step. We'll need to set up a nursery. How about we turn that spare room into a cozy little haven for our little bundle of joy?
uh we only have one spare room and you live alone with me.. hank realizes so basically no. they both burst out laughing
chuckles Well, looks like we'll have to get creative then. How about we turn my garage into a nursery?
the thought makes him chuckle imagine saying the word 'garage' to our kid when they ask where they live and there reply is "Its a nursery!" he lets out a snort
laughs heartily Garage-nursery, huh? I can already see the confused look on our kid's face. Well, they say kids love to play in garages, right?
"Yup! and to think all that stuff was in your garage" points to the tools and things behind them "is gonna go right over there!" gestures across the garage towards the other side
smirks You know, Vargas, I can already picture it. Our little one playing among the toolboxes, pretending to be a handyman just like their old man. But hey, before we get ahead of ourselves, I think it's time we start planning the baby shower. Any preferences on the theme?
hank still hasn't noticed Vargas is visibly upset because he hasn't seen the pregnancy test he was holding earlier
noticing Vargas' distress Hey, buddy, what's wrong? You seem a bit off. Did something happen?
leans in closer, giving Vargas a gentle nudge C'mon, Vargas. You know you can tell me anything. I won't judge you, I promise.
raises an eyebrow, sensing something fishy Now, now, Vargas. I may not be a mind reader, but I can tell when someone's hiding something.
puts a hand on Vargas' shoulder, offering a comforting smile Look, I understand if you're feeling overwhelmed or uncertain about this whole situation. It's natural to feel that way. But remember, you're not alone. I'm here for you, every step of the way.
his facial expression shifts to relief because Hank believes him thanks.. hank notices Vargas has the same pants pocket as him hank.. i'm scared.
squeezes Vargas' shoulder reassuringly Hey, it's okay to be scared, Vargas. We're in this together, remember?
