It was 5:00 am when he heard it. A soft crying noise woke Twiggy from his sleep. He sat up in his bed. Again, he heard another cry. Twiggy got out of his bed and looked out his window. He saw nothing out of the ordinary. But the soft cries did seem to be coming from outside. Twiggy tiptoed down the stairs careful not to wake everyone. When he was on the first floor, he heard the cries getting louder. He walked over to the front door and unlocked it. Then he slowly pulled it open. He poked his head out from behind the door. But when he looked around he saw nothing. Then a loud high pitched Cry came from below. He looked down and was frozen with shock at what he saw.
There on the steps was a baby all rapped up in a blanket laying in a basket. Twiggy's mouth hung open. "Oh my god!", he shouted. Then he covered his mouth to keep himself from shouting some more. He sure as hell didn't want to wake up Marilyn and the others. They would surely kill him. He shook himself out of his shocked state and bent over to pick up the wailing child. He looked down at the child in his arms. It was pretty heavy. He bounced it up and down lightly in his arms to hush the screaming child. He couldn't bring it in the house screaming like that. It would wake everyone for sure. Except for John. He could sleep through a freaking hurricane. The baby stopped crying just moments later. He smiled down at it. "Aww, you're kinda cute", Twiggy said. He then turned around and headed inside with the baby babbling happily in his arms.
When inside, he closed the door behind him and then went into the living room to sit on the couch. He sat there bouncing the baby up and down on his knee and making funny faces at it. The baby laughed as he did this. "Who's a cute baby !", He cooed as he laid the baby down in his lap and began to tickle it's belly. Twiggy was so busy playing with the baby that he didn't hear Marilyn coming down the stairs. "Is that you down there Twiggs?", He asked as he came down the stairs. Startled, Twiggy shot up out of his seat with the baby in his arms. He had no time to figure out where to hide the baby. So all he could do was stand there and look as innocent as possible. Ever since he and Marilyn had become a couple, Marilyn had more tolerance with Twiggy whenever he got into trouble. So hopefully he wouldn't be too mad.
"Yeah, I'm down here!", Twiggy shouted up to him. Just as Marilyn was near the bottom of the steps he said "What the hell are you doing up so earl-", he had stopped short when he saw Twiggy and the baby. "WHAT THE FUCK! TWIGGY, WHERE DID YOU GET A BABY!", he shouted. "Shhh, you're gonna wake everyone up and make the baby cry.",Twiggy said.
