Simply Complicated~part 11

Lullaby

Thanks so much for all the reviews : ) So, I've decided that for Christmas, all of my friends get hugs. No presents, just hugs. Cuz I have no job and it's impossible to get a job cuz they want you to have experience but to get experience, you have to have a job!!! GRRR!!! Yes, one of life's many cruelties : ( and I no longer have anyone to baby-sit either cuz everyone I used to baby-sit for is older and doesn't need to be babysat anymore. So newayz, I think that hugs make great presents, what about you? Okay, so here's the next part…nothing really happens, it's just to keep moving forward in time…

"You couldn't have waited ten more seconds," Chandler grumbled, making a face and causing Monica to laugh even harder, but off of his look, she tried to stop.

"Sorry," Monica stifled her laughter. "And Melia's sorry, too. She really didn't mean to pee on you," she added, fastening her diaper before picking her up. "But c'mon, it is kind of funny."

"Easy for you to say," he mumbled, pulling his shirt off over his head.

"You know if that happened to me you'd be laughing," she smiled at him, setting Melia in her crib.

"No, I wouldn't."

"Bad liars shouldn't lie," she smiled, and Chandler just made another face at her before throwing his shirt at her as they left the room.

"Maybe it'd be funny if I'd slept at all in the past week," he said as he walked over to the couch, collapsing down onto it and burying his head in his pillow.

"Well I haven't slept in a week either and I think it's hilarious," Monica just looked at him. "Aren't you even going to go get another shirt?" she asked after he didn't respond.

"Why bother?" his reply was muffled into the pillow.

Monica just laughed, turning to go to her room, "Good night, Chandler."

"Night, Mon."

Monica groaned, hearing the sound of Melia crying. She looked at the clock before closing her eyes again. It'd only been an hour; she couldn't be hungry again. Monica moved to get up, but stopped when she heard Chandler go in there.

Chandler groaned, waking up once more to the sound of Melia crying. He looked up at the clock. It'd only been an hour; she couldn't be hungry again. He finally sighed, getting up. He'd wanted this.

"Hey, what's wrong," Chandler whispered, picking the baby up out of the crib. He sat down in the rocking chair next to her crib, hoping that she'd at least quiet down a little if he rocked her, but after a few minutes realized that he had no such luck. "C'mon, Melia, it's late," he said softly, trying not to yawn again. He just looked at her, finally deciding to try to sing her to sleep.

Hush my love now don't you cry

Everything will be all right

Close your eyes and drift in dream

Rest in peaceful sleep

Oh my love, in my arms tight

Everyday you give me life

As I drift off to your world

Will rest in peaceful sleep

Melia eventually stopped crying, her eyes concentrating on his, but stubbornly refusing to shut. She finally closed her eyes, and Chandler smiled. So that was all it took to get her to stop crying.

Chandler stood up, looking up at Monica who was standing in the doorway. He met her gaze for a few seconds before looking back down at the baby in his arms, gently placing her back in her crib, being careful not to wake her up again.

"Creed?" Monica asked, whispering as they walked out of the nursery.

Chandler shrugged, "I don't know any actual lullabies…"

Monica smiled, unsuccessfully trying to stifle a yawn.

"Hey, go back to bed."

"She's just gonna wake up in a couple of hours and want to be fed again," Monica yawned again.

"But that's still an hour or so of sleep," Monica yawning caused Chandler to yawn.

Monica laughed, "Sorry," she turned to go back to her room as Chandler lay back down on the couch. "Um, Chandler?"

"Hm?"

"You have a nice voice," she said, slightly embarrassed. "I've never really heard you sing before."

"Thank you," he smiled back. "Good night."

"Good night, Chandler," she said as she yawned again, which caused Chandler to yawn also, making both of them laugh, and a few seconds later, Melia started to cry.

"You gonna get her?" Chandler asked, and Monica just nodded. "Then good night," he pulled his pillow over his head, trying to muffle the noise in hopes that he'd at least get another couple of hours of sleep before morning.
