76 DAYS TO SUPERGIRL
"Krypton", part 5 of 10
Kal-El had been so quiet, but now he had escalated, first to fussing, then to wriggling in her arms, making it hard for her to hold him, and now he'd started to cry.
Kara wondered if it was her worrying that had rubbed off on him, and immediately she'd taken it upon herself to calm him, and by extension to calm herself as well.
She stood up, walked along from one end of the room to the other with him safe in her arms, but it was no use, he wouldn't settle. After a while she'd set him down and scooped up her blanket to start going around the way she'd done before, and to her relief, it seemed to do the trick, which was just as well, because as much as she gave herself over to the exercise, her heart wasn't in it as much as it had been the first time around. Her cousin was small, he no doubt missed it, but she just couldn't.
See you tomorrow!
