A/N: This is a combination of Call The Midwife, talking about crossovers, fangirling with ChasingRainbows90 over crossovers and stuff ahaha and it resulted in the Self's haha.
If you had a pound for how many times the Self's had been woken up by their daughter, you'd be rich as their daughter Zosia usually settled quite well, but right now the molar teeth were cutting through, and were giving her the same problems the first time round she teethed. Zosia was one and still despite the fact she was no longer a small teething baby, she still woke her parents or whenever either were on a nightshift she'd wake up either her mother or father. Tonight it was her mother on the nightshift and her father was the target. There was no saying where she got her loudness from as Guy had quite a deafening shout if ever pushed too far, he tried to block it out 'self soothe' as he had been telling himself to let her do but it wasn't working, the more he ignored the louder she got and he eventually pushed the duvet off him and then ran his hands down his face, "Why would I want a goodnights sleep Zoshie? Why would daddy want to sleep when he's usually up at five anyway?" he mumbled as he got out of bed. Placing dressing gown on, then switched on the lights regretting that he was giving into his daughter's demands for attention. As he walked down the landing and outside the bedroom door, he sighed before entering, and then opened the door and found his daughter stop up in her cot, hands linked around the bars and jumping up and down, she unlinked them and then reached up indicating, she wanted to be held, "We're going to need an agreement," Guy spoke expecting her to understand his every word.
"Dada" she said through cries and Guy sighed, "Dada."
"I wake up at five or I go bed at nine am, so what is the problem here?" instead of answering Zosia cried even more, obviously not liking getting her way, "The problem is you've woke me up and you're incredibly loud," she stopped crying suddenly and then reached her arms up again, "Meaning I will be incredibly grumpy when mama gets home," he sighed as Zosia looked at him with pleading shiny eyes, "Right," he lifted her up and put her on his hip, "You're clearly not going to be quiet, I need sleep…so whilst you're awake I'll teach you some stuff," Zosia ignored him and grasped the chain around her father's neck, "Off," he ordered and Zosia shook her head, "I've given you what you want, so we have an agreement," Zosia shook her head and started to cry again, "I don't understand baby…" Guy says and Zosia hid her face she was not liking not being understood, "Come on…I've got to educate you."
"Lamb," she pointed leaning over, "Lamb," she said again and reached further. Guy then reached down into the cot, and lifted it out and she grabbed it immediately biting on the ear.
"We brought for you to cuddle not bite," Guy scolds and Zosia ignored him, so he rolled his eyes and walked out of the room, then switched of the light off and shut the door, "Come on then."
….
Guy searched the bookshelf trying to find an old book of his, "We don't do fairy tales do we?" he said to Zosia, and she shook her head though he's not if that's agreeing with him or shaking her head in general. He walked into the longue and placed Zosia on the sofa, before heading over to his box of cassette tapes, and found a favourite of his: Stevie Nicks Bella Donna, Zosia started reaching out for him and when he didn't come over, she started to cry and Guy sighed heavily, "Do you ever stop crying?" he asked and she held her arms out, her cheeks bright red with tears and also teething and Guy then walked back over, "What's wrong?" he asked and Zosia clung onto his neck, "OK we're clearly not onto the same page," Guy lifted her up again and tried to figure out what was wrong, "I need to sleep, as I am with mama later and you're being looked after," she carried on crying and it was getting louder, she chucked her lamb on the floor and kicked off, "OK we're going to break the rules…I know mama says only a bottle at bed time, but we won't tell her will we?" so as the last resort Guy walked into the kitchen and grabbed the clear plastic bottle, and pulled the fridge open and took out the milk bottle. Then filled the bottle with the white liquid and then screwed the lid on, "And I never got round to playing that song," so Guy pushed Zosia further up on his hip and walked into the living room, "And then I'll educate you on some surgery techniques," he knelt down by the cassette player Zosia slightly falling so he pushed her up again, "Whilst teaching you decent music."
The words
Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song
Sounds like she's singin'
Ooo-Ooo-Ooo
Played quietly in the background whilst Guy then laid Zosia down on his lap and supported the bottle in his hand, then he started telling her about different techniques, which he was sure she was listening as she looked up at him. Though her eyes were red which indicated she was tired, she then coughed and pushed the bottle away, "Right are you going to sleep now?" he asked and Zosia yawned her small mouth making an 'O' shape and then looked down at the floor and reached out for the discarded lamb.
"Lamb," she pointed, "Lamb!" she demanded and Guy then reached down for it, "Lamb," he could tell she was overtired as she was crying again, "Lamb," she reached for it and Guy then handed it to her, again she placed the ear in her mouth and bit at it hard.
Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song
Sounds like she's singin'
Ooo, baby, Ooo
Said, Ooo
Just like the white winged dove,
Sings a song, sounds like she's singing,
Ooo, baby, Ooo
He looked down and she had the lamb inside her mouth, but her eyes were shut and breathing was happy, "At last," he whispered and he gently lifted her up, she squirmed a little but then carried on sleeping. He breathed out relieved she didn't wake up and then decided to switch the music of after had put her back to bed.
…
Guy laid Zosia back down in her cot and placed the blanket over her, she moved a bit but he knew that was just her in sleep. And switched off the light then shut the door quietly, before walking downstairs to switch off both the music and the lights but had to wash out the bottle, since he knew that Zosia's mother would know, the rules had been broken. After all that he then went back upstairs to bed and hoped that he would not be disturbed for at least a few hours.
