One of those nights
Author's Note: This is my first fanfic to post on here, so please don't be harsh. Also, there are a few things I need to explain, or you're going to be really confused. In my fanfic, I use Female Grell. She's married to Undertaker and they have a little girl named Fay. Also, I constantly call Undertaker by the nickname Taker, so they're the one and the same. Just thought you should know, please R&R! *Bows deeply*
"Shh…" He murmured quietly. Undertaker had woken about ten minutes ago to the loud wailing of his young daughter. Her face was quickly turning the deep red shade of her wispy hair. His eyes were dark underneath the silver bangs that hid them from the lack of sleep he had suffered recently. He softly bounced her as he held her close to his chest and hummed a familiar tune quietly. Rather than seeming to help, though, it only seemed to make the situation worse.
Of course, the fact that the old shinigami in his well-worn nightgown was-once again-awake in the middle of the night wasn't bad enough to add more trouble to. Though he had been repeating the same action over and over for the past five minutes, he couldn't think of anything else to do. "Shh…" He whispered pleadingly again. Taker had hoped that he would be able to take care of Fay's crying without waking Grell, but that seemed impossible. Surely enough, he felt the warm, loving touch of her a moment later. "Need a little help?" A sleep laced, yet slightly gloating voice, asked.
"Yes…" He replied, handing over the baby. Grell put Fay into the same position that Taker had had her in, except that she tucked her small head into the crook of her neck. She cooed and lightly hummed for her daughter sweetly. A few moments later, they sighed with relief as Fay's cries decreased, then stopped completely. Grell barely heard the soft sound that came with Taker lying down on the soft bed they shared. "Shh…" She lightly cooed again. Fay's breaths slowed and soon became an even, soft motion. Grell smiled warmly onto the face of her lovely sleeping daughter.
"Love you…forever and ever more." She whispered as she gingerly kissed Fay's forehead. Carefully, Grell laid Fay into her crib and pulled the baby blanket over her. "Honey, she's asleep." She whispered and turned…only to find that Undertaker had fallen asleep. It was only mere moments ago that he had lain down, but already the even breaths of deep, dreamless sleep were emanating from him. "Silly man." She giggled softly. Laying down beside him, she yawned widely, and then nuzzled comfortably up to him. Once again, the trio was resting peacefully.
