Baby cries shattered the peaceful night and my deep sleep. I groaned, every night Kaida woke up screaming and I had gotten up each night to settle her back down. I began to climb out of bed. Shika had just returned from a mission, I couldn’t ask him to take care of her for me.
Our wooden floors creaked; I hoped it didn’t bother Shika. I hurried down the hall, and entered the baby room to a wailing Kaida. I allowed myself to groan at last. I lifted the wailing bundle and proceeded to check her diaper and feed her.
However once she was finished, she continued to fuss and I had to settle into the rocking chair and waited for her to fall asleep.
She did, after a good long while finally fall back to sleep. With a thankful sigh I laid her back in her crib and returned to our bedroom. I thought I was quiet but when I slip into bed, Shika rolled over to look at me and stated plainly, “I could have gotten up to do it.”
I stared at him as my mouth dropped. Shika? Volunteer to do something of his own free will?
“Who are you and what have you done with my husband?” I whispered teasingly.
He huffed to himself and rolled over. That was more like the Shika I knew.
