Long Night

Ukyo and Trunks fell asleep on their bed as their new born infant sleeps next to them in a crib which was made by Taj and Taiyo. He was sleeping peacefully for a while but then the peace of the night was broken with a loud cry from the baby. Ukyo groans and turned over to Trunks. " What's that?"

" Trukyo wants attention."

Ukyo rubbed her eyes. " What time is it?"

" Midnight."

" Oh kami! I only had two hours sleep." Ukyo wined.

" You go back to bed, I'll take care of the little squirt."

" No it's alright dear. I'll take care of it… you get the next one." Ukyo got up and walked over to her son. She picked him up. " What's the matter kiddo?" She takes a sniff. " Well you don't need to be changed… So I guess your hungry uh… alright lets go." Ukyo takes her new born son into the kitchen. She places him in the baby chair. She looks into the refrigerator and she pulls out some baby formula. She puts it on the stove and starts to heat it up. Trukyo was whimpering as he looked up his mother. Ukyo smiled at her son and put her fingers through his hair. ' So much like your daddy.' A few moments later the formula was heated and she put it in a bottle. Ukyo picked up her son and put him on her lap. With her free arm she up the bottle in his mouth. Trukyo sucked on the bottle. " That's my good boy." Ukyo said.

Once the bottle was finished Trukyo yawned and he fell asleep in his mother's arms. Ukyo smiled and she walked back into the bedroom and placed him back in the crib with his little blanky. Ukyo crawled back in bed.

Trunks looked over at his wife. " Trukyo all taken care of?"

" For now anyway… It's you're turn next."

" Lovely…" Trunks said sarcastically.

Trunks turned over and tried to get back to sleep once again. Ukyo laid her hand across his hip again and fell asleep. But Trunks didn't get to sleep for long. A short hour went by when the parents suddenly heard their son's loud cry. Ukyo slapped Trunks. Trunks woke up. " Oh geez…." He looks at the clock. " I just got an hour sleep…." Trunks sniffed the air. " What's that smell?" He asked.

" Trukyo needs to be changed…"

Trunks cringed. " Great I get the messy part."

" Just go it…." Ukyo muttered as she turned over.

Trunks got up and put his slippers on. He walked over to the crib and put the little light on. He looked down at his son. He cringed again… " Oh boy… you little stinker… you mad a big mess!" The blanket had poop all over it and Trukyo ripped up the dipper and put it all over himself. Trunks held his son at a distant trying to not get the smell on him. Picked up the blanket and took Trukyo into the bathroom. Trunks turned on the water and he put the blanket in it. He then took off what was left of the dipper and he put his son in the tub to try to clean him off. Trukyo splashed the water on his father. Trunks cringed. " Now I have to take a bath!" Trunks carefully took the soap and put it on the wash towel and he started rubbing the baby down. Trunks didn't miss a single spot. After that, the got all the soap off and did a through rinse. Trunks leaned over to smell Trukyo's hair. " Woah, little man… you really stink… alright, time to do that hair…" Trunks put a little dab of shampoo on his hand and he rubbed the stuff into his son's hair. Trukyo cooed at his father's touch. " Like that don't we." Trukyo's hair was all foamed up. Trunks took some of the bubbles and blew them in Trukyo's little face. Trunks smiled and let out a little laugh. " Alright, lets get you all squeaky clean." He rinsed his son off. Trunks picked up the dripping baby and rubbed him down with a dry towel. " Doesn't that feel good?" Once again Trukyo cooed at his father. He put him on the dressing table. Trunks raps the young boy in his dipper and carried him off to his room.

Ukyo turns over to see her husband. " Trunks, what happen to you?"

" Trukyo… that's what happened…."

" Well you better get cleaned up mister… I don't want a smelly husband next to me…"

Trunks put another blanket on his son and he marched over to the bathroom again. ' Man, I was lucky this was my night close and not my favorite outfit… oh well….' He stripped all his cloths off and he put his boxers on the side so when he got out he could put them back on. Everything else went in the wash, including Trukyo's first blanket. Trunks opened the shower door and then closed it behind him. He turned on the water. The steam filled the room. Trunks picked up the shampoo bottle, put some in his hand, and then roughly rubbed it in his hair. He sighed as the water fell on his body. It was so relaxing. ' Man this feels good…' He leaned back into the water and he rinsed all the shampoo from his hair. While Trunks was relaxing in the tub the baby was once again crying.

Ukyo didn't turn around. " Trunks… can you take care of the baby…" There was no response from the empty room but the baby's cry. Ukyo turned around. " Trunks?" She noticed that he was in there. " I guess I got to take care of you." She got up and looked at her son. " What's the matter… hungry again?" Ukyo had that feeling he was. She picked him up. " Alright kiddo… lets go." She walked past the bathroom and into the kitchen again.

Meanwhile in the bathroom. Trunks was now cleaning the rest of his body. After a while he finished cleaning himself down. He stepped out of the tub and rubbed himself down. He put his boxers back on and he walked into his room again, while he was drying his hair. " Ukyo… I'm back." He looked at the bed. " Oh she must be down stairs with the kid again." He decided to go down with her. He walked into the kitchen. "Ukyo…."

She turned around. " Hello Trunks… have a nice shower?"

" Oh yeah! So relaxing… I really enjoyed it. The baby hungry again?"

" You bet he's hungry again. This kid is always hungry… just like his father."

" Well he is Part Saiyan after all…."

" I guess but Geez Trunks…."

Trunks laughed nervously. He walked over to the stove and poured the formula into the bottle. He handed it over to Ukyo. " Here."

Ukyo put the bottle into Trunks' mouth. " So Trunks… when are we leaving for Earth?"

" In the morning…."

" I guess that would be good. I just hope we can get some sleep…."

" Me too."

Trukyo finished his meal and Ukyo made him burp. " Alright… lets get to bed…."

Trunks and Ukyo tried to go to bed for the fifth time that night. But it wasn't going to last. The baby started crying again. Trunks and Ukyo sighed really loud. " I can't take this anymore!" Trunks said.

" I have an idea." Ukyo got up, took her son and laid him next to her. " Let him sleep with us…"

" Alright…" Trunks leaned over and kissed both her and their son. " Good night."

Ukyo kissed him back. " Goodnight love."

The baby's tail went around his mother and he curled up and went to sleep. Both parents smiled. Ukyo was so smart finding out the one way to get Trukyo to sleep throughout the whole night. The rest of the night was silent and peaceful.

To be continued…
