Welcome to the 100 theme challenge!

For this challenge I'm supposed to write an individual story for every theme. And there is one theme per chapter.

I hope to post as much as I can. I might not be able to write all 100 of these stories but i will certainly try.

Disclaimer: I dont own many of these characters, except for Caitlyn Treaty

001: Introduction

Horace held his breath in awe as he stared into her wide, beautiful brown eyes. He smiled warmly down at her, then laughed when she let out the most adorable yawn. She smiled at him, and he felt his heart melt. This was getting to be too much for him.

"Horace, I think you're drooling," Horace looked up to face Will. The Ranger was smirking with amusement and Horace grinned back.

"She's just so adorable Will," Horace whispered, looking back at the baby in his arms.

Will smiled. He couldn't help but feel immense warmth at the sight of his best friend holding and loving his two-month old baby. It was the first time Horace had ever seen Caitlyn, and he had fallen in love right away. Will remembered Horace's face had the largest grin when Alyss brought her out of their room. Since then, Horace wouldn't let go of the baby.

"She really is," the Ranger said softly.

It was then that Caitlyn started fussing. She shifted around, and her face started to scrunch up in discomfort. Horace's smile faded from his face. Everything was fine with a baby until she started crying. He didn't know what to do when that happened. He could see it forming. Her face was getting red, and her eyes shut tight. Her mouth opened and she let out a cry. And then another.

Horace held the baby helplessly, his former comfort completely gone. He looked up at Will who was smiling. Horace extended the baby towards him, but the young man gently pushed his arms away. The Ranger wanted to see Horace uneasy for a moment.

"Will! Take your baby!" His voice was full of panic as Caitlyn's cries got louder. Something could be seriously wrong with the newborn child, and Will is was refusing to help his own daughter? Will just laughed.

"Horace, you aren't even doing anything," he knew that his daughter just got fussy at times. He wasn't really doing any harm by letting her cry for a couple moments more. "How can we ask you to babysit her if you can't even calm her when she cries?"

"I don't know what to do!" Horace cried out. He stood up and tried rocking the baby. When that didn't work, he tried cooing to her, then tried bouncing her. It seemed that her cries kept getting louder.

Alyss walked in from her bedroom with a frown on her face. She had heard the baby's cries and wondered why Will had not brought Caitlyn to her. Then she saw Horace pacing around the living room, yelling out words to try to calm her distressed baby, and Will grinning and doing nothing about it. She rolled her eyes and sighed, and went over to take the baby from Horace's arms

"Really, Will?" She scolded while rocking the baby. Will chuckled and shrugged. Alyss shook her head in exasperation, then looked back at her daughter with a smile. She whispered soft words and rocked her a little more, and to Horace's surprise, Caitlyn stopped crying right away.

"Is she all right then?" He asked cautiously. Alyss smiled at Horace. She liked how concerned he was for the baby.

"She's fine Horace. Just needs to be fed and put to sleep. You can play with her afterwards," She patted his hand, then turned to walk into the bedroom.

Horace smiled at the thought.

"You would make a very nice uncle," Will said to him.

Horace glanced at his friend and went to go sit with him on the couch. "Uncle? Would I be an uncle?"

Will nodded sagely. "Well, of course. You are like my brother after all." Horace nodded thoughtfully, then smiled brightly.

"Uncle sounds nice."
