Chapter 2: Sleep in Heavenly Peace

"WAAAAAA….! WAAAAAAA….!"

A piercing cry broke through the quiet afternoon at the Kuran mansion, awaking the two young purebloods sleeping peacefully in a bed next to the crib where the cry of a 6-month old Angel came from. The two young boys rubbed their eyes and sat up on their shared bed. Their eyes searched for baby Zero and instantly opened wide as they saw their beloved baby sat on the crib with one of his foot stuck in between the railings.

Kaname jolted up from the bed and within a second he was beside the crib. His long fingers carefully removed Zero's foot from between the railings. He gently picked up his beloved and cradled him in his left arm. He caressed Zero's silver hair tenderly with his free hand and brought his lips to Zero's ear to whisper tender assurance.

"Sshh… Love … I'm here with you. It's okay, Love."

"WAAAAA …! WAAAA …!" Kaname's sweet words and cradle didn't calm Zero.

"Maybe he's hungry." Senri said while getting off the bed and putting on his slippers. "It's been three hours since we fed him. I think it's time for him to feed."

Senri went to the mini refrigerator in the corner of their bedroom and took out a bottle of milk mixed with blood that Shizuka left before she went on a day trip with her husband and in-laws. He joined his brother, who was now sitting on the bed with his back against the headboard.

The crying Zero lied on Kaname's arm; the side of his head rested on Kaname's chest and his waist wrapped around Kaname's hands. Senri brushed the bottle's nipple at the corner of Zero's mouth. Baby Zero eagerly opened his mouth to receive the nipple. His small tongue greedily sucked the nipple and a loud gulping sound was heard throughout the silent room as Zero swallowed the light red substance. In less than five minutes the bottle was emptied.

"WAAAAAA …!"

Senri put the empty bottle on the night stand next to him and picked up his silver Angel from Kaname's hands. He gently laid Zero's stomach against his left shoulder and patted the baby's back with his right palm until a quiet burp was heard. Senri was about to cradle little Zero in his arms when a piercing cries started again.

"Ah, Angel, what's wrong with you? I already fed you and burped you yet you're still unhappy."

Just then Zero opened his tiny mouth. Kaname noticed a tiny fang cutting through Zero's lower pink gum. He smiled knowingly.

"I think he's teething. Look at his gum, Senri. His first fang is coming out."

"I see it, Kaname. Does it hurt? Is that why he cries?"

"I believe so. Imagine a sword cutting through your skin. The point of the fang is basically as sharp as that of a sword, so it surely hurt when it cut through the skin."

"You're right. What are we going to do now?"

"Well… I remember Shizuka saying when a baby is teething we need to numb the gum and give him something soothing to chew on."

Kaname knitted his eyebrows as if he was thinking. Suddenly his brown eyes lit up as he came up with a solution. Kaname brought his index finger to his mouth and pierced the tip of the finger with his sharp fangs until blood came out. He gently touched the corner of Zero's lips with his bloody finger and Zero eagerly opened his mouth. Kaname inserted his finger inside Zero's mouth and Zero greedily sucked Kaname's finger. Zero's wet tongue rubbed against Kaname's finger, causing Kaname to shudder from the pleasurable contact with his beloved. As if feeling Kaname's reaction, Zero opened his beautiful amethyst eyes and they met with Kaname's brown ones. They locked their gazes at each other while Zero sucked Kaname's finger. A jolt of electricity passed through Kaname's body as he felt the bond with his intended.

After what seemed like an eternity, Zero tilted his head to remove Kaname's finger from his mouth. A satisfied smile adorned his angelic face and his hands reached for Kaname.

"Ka… na…"

Zero's sweet voice called out Kaname's name for the first time, causing tears to flow down Kaname's cheeks. Keeping his eye contact with Zero, Kaname brought his face down to Zero's face and his lips tenderly met Zero's pink cheek. His fingers gently caressed Zero's silver hair as he professed his feelings.

"Zero, you make me very happy. I love you."

"Coo … coo…"

Zero laughed as if he understood Kaname's feelings and gently pulled Kaname's silky brown hair with his tiny hand. Both Kaname and Senri laughed. Zero's vampire hearing picked up the laughter of another boy sitting next to Kaname. He turned his head toward the boy and his free hand reached out to him.

"Sen… ri…"

"Angel!" Senri was excited Zero called his name and held Zero's tiny hand. "You just said my name."

Senri tightened his hug on Zero and kissed Zero's forehead. Feeling Senri's happiness, little Zero tightened his grip on Senri's hand.

"Coo… Coo…"

"Now that you're happy, can we go back to sleep?" Kaname asked little Zero.

Zero gave his most beautiful smile to Kaname.

"Sleep…"

Senri gently laid Zero in the bed. He lied down next to Zero and wrapped his arm around Zero's waist as if protecting him from harm.

"Sleep, my beautiful Angel."

Kaname kissed Zero's smooth hair and lied on the other side of Zero. He brought his head close to Zero's until their cheeks were touching and placed his palm on Zero's cheek.

"Sleep, my Love."

Little Zero smiled and closed his eyes. His two protectors soon followed. The three of them slept in heavenly peace.

As I was writing this, I imagine myself as Kaname and Senri taking care of Zero. He is such a sweetheart, anyone would love to take care of him.
