The sound of a baby crying flooded through the house, waking his parents.
Xander rolled out of the bed and kissed Cordelia on the forehead. "I'll
get him this time..."
Cordelia smiled in thanks and went back to sleep.
Xander walked down the hall to the nursery and over to the crib. "Hey
Jacob...why are you trying to wake up me and mommy?"
He slowly picked him up and began to walk him around the room, patting
his back softly. "You know you've kept your mommy up a lot lately. She needs
her sleep or she's going to kill one of us...most likely me..."
Xander smiled down at his son. "But she would never do that...she loves
both of us way to much. And I love the two of you even more!"
He stopped his pacing at the cross adorned window and looked outside.
A small blond figure glanced up and waved as she walked past.
Xander lifted his hand in a small wave then went back to patting his
son's back. "There goes your Aunt Buffy again...patrolling as always. You'd
think she'd have stopped that after Hannah was born. Ya know? I bet you'll
hate Hannah at first, just like I hated her dad, your Uncle Angel. But then
you'll get a huge crush on her like I had on your Aunt Buffy. That was before
your mommy came along of course."
"I would hope so..."
Xander turned around to see his wife leaning up against the doorway with
her arms crossed. "I was just telling Jacob a few things..."
Cordelia smiled and walked into the room as Xander set a now-sleeping
Jacob back in his crib. "He's really beautiful, isn't he?"
Xander nodded and put his arms around her. "Just like you..."
Cordelia smiled. "He's going to be exactly like you...I can tell by the
way he smiles all the time. He has a special smile for you, you know..."
Xander looked down at his son lovingly. "And he'll be a heartbreaker like
you!"
Cordelia slapped him lightly on the arm. "Xander!"
Xander grinned. "I'm just kidding honey...now let's let this little
Jake-man get some sleep..."
Cordelia nodded and the two walked back into their bedroom for
suprisingly a good night's rest.
Xander rolled out of the bed and kissed Cordelia on the forehead. "I'll
get him this time..."
Cordelia smiled in thanks and went back to sleep.
