"Aye. It was nice having another girl around though" smiled Maeve.
"Don't you mean infant?" asked Sinbad.
"Don't be daft. I already have you" she smiled cheekily.
"Oh thanks" he smiled. Then he thought for a moment. "Then why don't you let me sit on your lap or carry me anywhere?" he said in a moody, babyish voice.
"Because your a big boy and don't need looking after, actually, I take that back" she laughed. Sinbad just pulled a face before starting to cry.
"Mummy doesn't like me anymore" he sobbed.
"Ah, does baby want a cuddle?" she cooed. Sinbad nodded slowly and ran into her arms, knocking her over and making her land on the ground with a bump. They both burst out giggling as Sinbad rolled off of her.
"Shhh" laughed Maeve, holding her finger to her lips. "You'll wake Lottie"
"What about you?" he whispered/laughed back. "Your being just as noisy" Maeve was about to answer when Lottie stirred in her hammock. Maeve and Sinbad froze, but released their breath as she rolled over and stayed asleep. Maeve looked at Sinbad compassionately.
"Come on" she whispered. "You'd better go before we wake her up."
"Are you trying to get rid of me?" he asked helping her up.
"Yes" she smiled back as Sinbad stuck his tongue out at her, causing her to giggle. "She needs her sleep. She needs to be a strong girl tomorrow."
"Ok." He smiled. "Night then" he smiled.
"Night" she whispered pushing him towards the door. Sinbad turned to her.
"Don't I get a good night kiss?" he pleaded in his babyish voice, quivering his bottom lip. Maeve smiled at his cute expression, how could she resist? She leant forward and lightly kissed his cheek.
"Is that all I get?" he moaned, but letting the cheeky glint show in his eye.
"I'm sorry sweetie" cooed Maeve. "But I don't kiss little boys." Sinbad pulled a face.
"Ahhh" he replied slyly. "But I can kiss older girls" and with that he gently kissed Maeve on the lips sending tingles all down her body. He pulled back and opened the door.
"Night then" he smiled. Maeve just vaguely nodded, still swaying lightly on her feet. Sinbad, wearing a silly smile on his face, exited leaving Maeve to fall onto her bed and try to determine what just happened. Sinbad whistled, out of tune, all the way back to his cabin. He'd sleep well tonight.
