After I finish my bottle, he puts a rag on his shoulder and pats my back. He cradled me in his arms until I was sleepy while he walked back to the nursery.
When we got there I noticed that Fu was gone. Father tried putting me back into the cradle, but once he almost set me down I whined and moved my arms and legs.
"Aannng" I don't want you to put me down.
He sighed and gave in. "Alright buddy, I'll hold you for a little longer."
"Ahaha gahh ooo" I'm sorry. But it's comfy.
It's not like he's going to see me any more today, I want to be a little greedy with our father.
Our mother walked into the nursery holding Fuyuki, who looked like he was passed out. I guess that's mother's touch.
"Fuyuki, are you awake?"
He didn't answer so I assume he is asleep.
"Hello Honey." Papa said while he walked over, and they shared a kiss.
"Hello darling, are you having trouble putting Yukine to sleep?" she said so softly
"He just wants to be held, but I need to get back to work."
"Weren't you holding him while you were working earlier when I came in?"
"He was asleep and it was quiet in there, it is gonna get loud soon. Also, I am kind of afraid of dropping him"
"I don't think you could drop him even if you tried."
I wonder what she means by that. She is really pretty. I just laid there staring at her she has green eyes and white hair like Papa's. She looked at me with a warm smile.
"Aha." I laughed. I was blushing. If our parents are this good looking, I'd hate to see us when we are older.
"Hi baby." she said to me.
"Aaangggnn" Hi Mama.
"He said hi."
Wow you are getting better. Although, you are still just guessing.
"Oh you speak baby now? "
"I picked up some things after Isaac and Ilesha."
Who is Isaac and Ilesha? Are they our siblings?
"Oh?." She giggled at him. They were obviously flirting, and it was making me blush.
"How about we trade, I'll hold Yukine and you put Fuyuki in his crib."
"Alright." He took Fuyuki with his other arm and gave me to Mama.
"Here you go." He said
He brought Fuyuki to his crib and set him down and covered the lower part of his body with a small blue and green blanket. I watched him do that and then looked at Mama. I smiled and giggled at her because she was just smiling warmly at me.
Papa rubbed Fuyuki's cheek and kissed his forehead. Then he walked over to us and did the same to me before kissing Mama again. These two are so lovey dovey, it is adorable. Papa left the room, probably to go back to work, and Mama started cradling me and humming. She walked over to the rocking chair and sat down with such grace, I barely noticed. Her humming and cradling made me really tired, I yawned and put my hand by my mouth. My eyelids became very heavy, no wonder Fu fell asleep so fast. No one can hold a candle to Mama's cradles. Before I knew it I was asleep, and it was night time again, Fuyuki was already awake and I was back in my uncomfortable crib.
"Good morning Fu."
"Oh good morning Ne."
"Did you have fun with Mama earlier?"
"I can't believe she got me to fall asleep so fast."
"Ya, I think it's called mother's touch or something."
"Ha, ya, what about you, where did you go earlier?"
"Father came in early in the morning and he held me while working."
"Mama held me while walking around the garden. You should see the flowers here, they look beautiful."
"I'll try to somehow. That reminds me, do you know what color our eyes are, we haven't looked each other in the eyes here before." And I am really curious
"Mama said I had her and father's eyes. But they have different eye colors so it doesn't make sense."
"That's odd." I yawned and rubbed my eyes.
"Tired?"
"No, I'm hungry."
"Alright, I'll call for a maid."
"You say that as if you are just yelling maid."
"It's close enough, right? Ready?"
"Sure go ahead." I'm starting to think he likes crying. I try to cover my ears.
He started crying and whining.
And sure enough here came the maids and the guard. Again with the routine, but we were just hungry so they got it first try. Again, the guard sighed and left. I wonder what his problem is. I tried to have my eyes open while eating, but it was too uncomfortable while the maids were watching me. I closed my eyes while they burped me and cradled us. I eventually fell back to sleep.
I woke up to an unfamiliar face, actually two of them
"Hey Isaac. This one is awake."
Oh, this must be Isaac and Ilesha, they look like Mama. They have green eyes.
"Remember you have to talk quietly, their ears are still sensitive Ilesha."
I looked over at Isaac, who was walking towards my crib. They both leaned on the crib at the end part. I looked at them and they looked to be about 10, they seem to be twins too. I guess twins run in the family.
"This one is Fuyuki right?" Ilesha asked Isaac.
"No, that one is Fuyuki, this one is Yukine." he pointed as he talked.
"Oh right, are we allowed to pick them up?"
No no no no no. Girl, you don't look reliable.
"I don't see why not, be careful not to drop them.". Noooo. You are my big brother, protect me. I yawned, stretched and wailed around.
"Awwweee! That is adorable, it's a baby yawn!" Ilesha said.
Isaac was blushing, I could tell he was thinking the same thing. I laughed at how he was trying to keep it in.
"Awwwwwweeeee! Baby laugh!" She said loudly with a high voice. She hurt my ears and tears were forming as I started to cry. Ilesha panicked.
"That's why you have to talk softly Ilesha." Isaac said with a sigh. Isaac came to the crib and picked me up.
"It's okay, there's no need to cry." He said softly while patting my back and hushing me.
"Oh wow it's working. You are an expert Isaac!" She was talking loudly again and I starting getting fussy again.
"Quiet down Ilesha or else you can't hold him." Part of me wishes she wouldn't quiet down so she couldn't hold me.
"Aww, but I'm trying. It's his fault for being so cute."
"How is it the babies fault for being cute, he can't even understand you."
Little do you know.
Isaac kept cradling me trying to calm me down. While Ilesha was getting jealous. Isaac was making me fall asleep, until my tummy grumbled and I started crying again, it woke up Fuyuki and he started crying too, the maids came in.
"They are hungry." Isaac said. He looked more serious with the maids, so did Ilesha. It was kind of scary. The maids looked kind of scared too.
They both waited until we were done eating, because I didn't have enough eyes on me while eating. After we finished, Isaac took me and gave me to Ilesha, showing her how to properly hold me, and he took Fuyuki.
"Fu can we trade?"
"What is going on? Trade what? Who are these two?"
"They are apparently our siblings, Isaac and Ilesha. Ilesha has hurt my ears twice now."
"Is that why you were crying?"
"No, I was just hungry. Sorry for waking you up."
"It's fine, I don't like sleeping the entire day away anyways."
"Aren't they so cute Isaac." She was trying hard to be quiet this time. She was staring at me while blushing.
"Ya.." he said while blushing, trying to be serious.
"It is pretty funny how he tries to be so serious."
"I agree Ne."
We both started laughing.
"How about we go take them to see mom and dad?" Isaac proposed.
Yes! Let's do that! I thought to myself.
"Aww, but then they will just take and hold them, but I want to hold them."
"Come on, maybe if we ask to keep holding them then they will let us."
"Fine." She had a pouting face. The only thing more annoying than her high pitched voice is her pouting face. I tried to cheer her up by laughing and reaching my arms out to her. She instantly brightened up and had a big smile on her face. They may look like they are 10 or so, but they act like the babies in this situation.
They brought us to a room where Mama and Papa were both in. Papa took me out of Ilesha's arms and held me. Thank goodness. I felt much more comfortable in his arms, although she isn't too bad at holding a baby, she just gets distracted. She looked sad and papa noticed, so he patted her head with a smile. I can tell that they know Isaac is more capable only by the fact that Mama didn't take Fu from Isaac. I laughed at that fact and smiled at papa and put my arms out. He grabbed my hand and my hand went around his thumb. His thumb was so big. He chuckled and smiled at me. I really wish I could spend forever in his arms, instead of going back to that uncomfortable cradle. I yawned again. Babies are always so tired. We either eat, sleep, or poop, there is no in between.
"Mmmnnn." I moaned
"Sleepy bear." Papa called me.
"That reminds me of a story, called the sleeping bear. Do you wanna hear it Yukine?"
"Agghmmff" Story?
"Alright, here it goes."
There once was a young bear cub, who got lost, away from his Mama Bear. He was looking for her all day, he was so tired that he tried to sleep in a hole, but he didn't fit. He tried to sleep on a tree, but he just kept falling off. Eventually he just fell asleep underneath a tree. When he woke up, he found that his Mama was sleeping right next to him, he started crying. He hugged his Mama and said "I love you Mama, please don't ever leave me again!" And the Mama Bear replied, "what do you mean, I was right there next to you the whole time baby bear." And the baby bear realized it was all just a dream.
"What do you think of that sorry Yukine?"
My eyelids were too heavy and I was too tired to answer, in the middle of the story Isaac handed Fu to Mama and the other twins left.
"Mmnn" is all I could say.
"Aww, baby is tired." He said, I don't know what happened after that because I fell asleep.
