"Dude, you should get right on it," Coop answers, and he means to be teasing but his tone just barely comes across that way because he's too busy grinning down at the baby to care if his message is getting across the way he'd like. "Takes forever to have a baby, right? Or nine months-ish, same thing, if you're already wanting another one now, think of how much you'll want one then."
It's not real advice, Coop has absolutely no experience with babies behind what he's seen of extended family, and he sure as hell is in no position to be telling Joel to tell their surrogate to pop another one out as soon as possible. Really, it's his way of saying that he's not surprised, not even a little bit, that Joel and Spencer already know they want another baby because these two come prepared for fucking everything. They hadn't planned for each other, fair enough, but that doesn't mean they haven't planned for their future.
Hell, from what he's gathered over the past few months, Spencer probably has clothes for Dane ready to be used over the course of the next five years. Baby store owners everywhere wept tears of real joy when Spencer had left with his purchases, Coop's sure of it.
"Anyway, I don't know that I'll be the one to blame," he continues, finally tearing his gaze from the baby to look up at Joel. "The one to thank, more like. Can you imagine Spencer giving the birds-and-bees talk? You'd have to save him from going into cardiac arrest."
