Crying woke the little boy still sleeping in his bed. Confused at first Ryou sat up and looked around his room. Outside the window it was still dark so the only light he saw was that from his nightlight. This had happened before. Amane was awake and probably hungry, she had been brought home almost four months ago and Ryou hoped that her crying at night would stop soon. It never took long to quiet her down, but Ryou had been awake at least half an hour now!
Worried, the small boy crawled out of his bed and slipped out of his room, going to the baby's nursery. Inside his parents were fusing over the screaming child. Ryou peeked in around the corner of the door.
"She's not hungry and she doesn't need to be changed." Hannah sighed, "And she fuses when I hold her. I don't know what's wrong." She shook her head, looking up at Anthony.
"She's a little warm." He commented, "Maybe we should call Dr. Newman. He did say that if we had any concerns we could call him." He shrugged.
"But at 3:30 in the morning?" Hannah raised an eyebrow, then winced as Amane's high-pitched screaming got louder. "Alright, I'll go call Dr. Newman." She gently handed her baby over to her husband and left the room, not seeing Ryou in the shadows. Ryou watched as his father sighed, putting Amane back into her crib.
"You're just a fussy little thing, aren't you?" Anthony shook his head; gently stroking the baby's flushed cheek. He turned to grab Amane's favourite stuffed bear, but noticed that the teddy wasn't there. "Oh, we must have left it in your playpen." Anthony shook his head; sure that that was why his daughter wouldn't stop crying. "Calm down baby, and I'll go get it." He promised and quickly slipped out of the room.
Ryou watched him go, then slipped into the room and over to the crib. The bars were high for him, but it wasn't anything he couldn't handle. After carefully climbing up at the end of the crib, he peaked in and saw the baby lying on her back crying fitfully. "Hey Amahhh!" Ryou began but slipped and fell face forward into the crib. He hit the mattress with a soft thud and was stunned for a few seconds - at least until he heard the giggle.
He looked up and noticed bright blue eyes looking at him. He pouted cutely, "You think that was funny? It hurt!" He pouted some more, which made Amane giggle. Ryou laughed too, happy that his sister had stopped crying. Crawling over to her. "You need to stop cwying. You is scawing Mommy and Daddy." He insisted, then lay on his back beside her and stared at the ceiling. He blinked as he noticed the mobile hanging motionlessly and soundlessly above her. "Oh!" He gasped and sat up, then looked down at the little girl, "I know why you is cwying!" He jumped up and scaled the bared wall of the crib until he could reach the small handle that started the mobile. He turned it until it couldn't be turned anymore, then carefully dropped back down and took his place beside her again.
The mobile, which played the tune of 'Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star', had little stars hanging from it and a moon in the middle. They watched the stars go around slowly and before Ryou knew what had happened his little sister had fallen asleep on his shoulder, with him following not soon after.
Hannah, who had noticed the silence, had suddenly got worried, seeing her husband on the main floor with her instead of with the baby. Together, they had raced up the stairs to find out what had happened only to look into the crib and stop.
Hannah smiled as she noticed the mobile moving and her son in the crib too. "They make a very sweet pair." She said, leaning into her husband.
"Well, Ryou did promise to be a very good big brother." Anthony spoke softly, "Looks like he's playing his part."
They watched their two children sleep for a little while longer, before deciding to go back to bed. Before they left, Hannah brought a blanket up to cover them with and kissed them both goodnight.
