I know, you're probably mad at us for posting something new instead of continuing one of our stories(none of which have a second chapter) but we were talking to Sil…so blame her! XD JK, we brought up this story we wrote a long time ago, and we sent it to her, she liked it, so we posted it!

R.E.T.O.R.

Zach's eyes flew open.
"AH!" he sat up in his bed, cursing. Couldn't the neighbor keep the baby quiet?
The baby's squalls could be heard all over the neighborhood, and Zach had been up half the night trying to ignore it. But no more!
He quickly pulled a robe over his P.J.s, slipping his feet into his slippers, all the while muttering nonsense about sleeping and babies.
Finally he was able to storm across the street and pound against the neighbor's door.
A sound akin to that of a wail was heard, mixing in with the baby's incessant cries.
The mother opened the door, with an extremely apologetic look on her worn out face.
"I'm sorry, I can't figure out what's wrong with him!"
Zach glanced at her exhausted face, knowing he wasn't half as tired as she was. He almost wanted to apologize for storming over...almost.
"Well, figure out quick! There are people here that need their sleep!"
She scoffed, a bit of fire coming into her eyes, "Hey, I know! I've been up for almost two nights straight with him!"
He glanced at the baby, whose face was red from all his crying. Now it had reduced to a whimpering sound, but Zach knew that in a few minutes it would start up again.
"I already took him to the doctor, but nothing seems to be wrong."
Zach grunted in response, before turning on his heel and running to his house. The woman watched him, confused, and shut the door. About half an hour later, he was back, pounding on the door.
She sighed and stood up, patting her baby's back.
"I alre-" she found an odd looking invention shoved into her face.
"Look, you plug it in to the wall, flip this switch and it should put him to sleep. I used it on my sister."
And with that, Zach was gone. The first time mother sighed and closed the door again, giving the invention an angry look, before setting it up, one handedly. She flipped the switch. Suddenly the room was filled with moving images of the ocean, and the soothing sound of waves crashing against the beach flowed through the room. The young mother gasped, and sat in her rocking chair. Baby stopped crying and watched the scene with amazement, settling in his mom's arms comfortably. The young mother smiled, and they both drifted off to sleep.

Now, I know a few of you are like, "What in the world is R.E. T.O. R.?" well, it means…actually I think I won't tell you, I'll wait until we post a second chapter for the first time! XD :P
