"Yea i'm coming Edward" Nathan says as he pulls himself up on his bed, Edward had not adjusted well to his new living enviroment or being in his own room, and hadn't been sleeping much at night, it reminded him of when he first brought him home
"Come on buddy, sleep is a good thing, you need it and daddy needs it" Nathan says as he rocks Edward back in forth in the rocking glider chair that he and Ben had brought a couple weeks after moving into their place as he looks down at his son who is clearly not going back to sleep anytime soon
"Up again" Ben says standing in the doorway of Edwards room, startling Nathan as he's focused on Edward
"Yea he is" Nathan says looking up at him, clearly exhausted
"Well maybe we should try the car trick again" Ben says looking at him as Nathan who lets out a yawn
"You know we really have to stop doing this, we have to teach him to fall asleep without being in the car" Nathan says looking at him
"But you look terrible, and I thought you said you have a full day of meetings tommorw" Ben says looking at him
"Yea I do" Nathan says looking at Ben as he walks further into Edwards room
"Just let me do it one more time" Ben says looking at him "And then dad can try his own trick of actually getting sleep" He says as he takes Edward from Nathan holding him up to his face as he makes a funny face at him
Nathan starts to argue back as he gets up from where he's been sitting, but relizes he just doesn't have the strength or energy "Okay this one time, but just till he falls asleep, then straight back here"
"Sir yes sir" Ben says joking as Nathan starts to walk back towards his bedroom, Nathan turns around to give him an annoyed look "Sorry" Ben says giving him a look back "I'll get up if he cries anymore tonight"
"Thanks" Nathan says as he walks into his room as he rubs his head
Nathan comes running down the hall the next morning "I overslept" he says seeing Ben and Edward sitting in the living room "I'm going to be so late" he says trying to hurry putting on his shoes
"Have a good day" Ben says as Nathan runs out the door, as he holds Edward up to face him "Your driving your daddy crazy you know that, that's supposed to be Uncle Ben's job" he says smiling at him
"How did everything go today?" Ben says later as Nathan walks back through the door as he is sitting at the kitchen feeding Edward
"It was okay, except I look like I dressed in the dark" Nathan says as he looks down at his mismatched cloths
"Yea I was going to say something this morning, but you took off out the door before I had the chance" Ben says looking back at Edward who is still eating
"How was little man today?" Nathan says as he walks over and picks Edward up out of Ben's arms
"He was just fine still didn't sleep so much but other then that" Ben says looking up at him
"Well that's nothing new" Nathan says as he looks down at Edward in his arms "You okay?" Nathan says looking at Ben now noticing he seems a little distracted
"I was just telling him about his Aunt Mel" Ben says looking at Nathan
Nathan turns around to see the memory box that they had pulled together after he and Nathan had got back from being on the road sitting in a chair, once Ben was up to going through her things "How did it go?"
"It's still hard to go through, but it's better now" Ben says giving him a smile "She would have loved him"
"Yea, but she never would have believed the situation I got myself in to end up with him" Nathan says smiling at Ben
"Oh I don't know she probably would" Ben says smiling at Nathan "We all know how your track record with women"
"Hey do you guys have something to drink" Sammy says as she walks comes through the door "I just got finished running" She says looking at them, while Sammy and Nathan had agreed that it was never going to workout for them in a relationship again, they had became good friends again since she came back from London
"Speaking of one of those women" Ben says jokingly as he gets up from the chair
"What?" Sammy says giving a nervous grin as Ben tosses her a bottle of water
"Nothing, just Ben being a pain in the butt, like usual" he says as Ben hits him in the side with a water bottle he got for him "Ow" he says looking at Ben who's coming out of the kitchen "You almost made me drop Edward"
"Sorry" Ben says with a sarcastic look on his face as he walks back into the living room
"Come here you" Sammy says as she takes Edward from Nathan "Come to Aunt Sammy, I don't see how you put up with these crazy boys" She says as she gives him a kiss
"Well I'm going to go change into some clothes that actually match since y'all are watching him" Nathan says as he looks down at what he's currently wearing
Nathan walks back out of his bedroom now wearing a tee shirt and lounge pants where Sammy and Ben are still sitting in the living room
"So Ben and I were talking, and I can watch Edward tonight if y'all want to do something, since I've been out of town and y'all have been here on your own" Sammy says looking at him
"Yea I vote it's a friday night, lets go down to the pub, get a few beers, and if we get hangovers well then Sammy can handle Edward while we're recovering" Ben says with an excited look on his face as he flips around to see Nathan leaning aginst the wall looking out of it "Did you hear what said?"
"Oh yea every word, going out, pub, hangover" he says looking at them "but can I actually take a rain check on the guys night out, and get some sleep instead"
"Party pooper" Ben says as he gets up "Well I'm still going out, since I'm still the cool hip one"
"Hey I'm cool and hip too, just after about a weeks worth of sleep" Nathan says looking at him
"Well I'll leave y'all too it, just let me get some of his things" Sammy says as she walks down the hall
Sammy is still getting some of Edwards things out of Nathan's room as Nathan comes in and starts to get settled into his bed "Hey just for the record what Ben said, I still think your cool and hip"
"Thank you, besides women always go more for men with cute kids" Nathan jokingly as he laying down as he starts to drift off to sleep "Can you get the light on your way out?"
"Yea use your kid as your wingman" Sammy as she starts to walk out as she cuts off the light and closes the door
