Chapter 6
Luka woke up to an empty bed, he rolled over and looked at
the alarm clock it was 9am. He wasn't working today but Abby was
working until 5. He picked up the baby monitor and listened intently
to the sound of Joe's breathing. He walked into Joe's room where
he was sleeping peacefully. He decided to have a quick shower while
Joe was still asleep. He went back into his room and picked up the
baby monitor and walked into the bathroom. He put the baby monitor on
the cabinet next to the sink. He walked into the hall and picked up a
blue towel and returned to the bathroom. He put the towel over the
heater and opened the shower door.
He had washed his body and he
was now washing his hair, when Joe started crying. He rinsed the
shampoo from his hair and turned off the water. He opened the shower
door and picked up the towel from the heater and put it around his
waist. He took the baby monitor back into his room and went to
comfort Joe.
When Luka entered Joe's room he was still crying "its ok buddy I'm her now" said Luka picking up Joe. He rocked Joe in his arms and he stopped crying. Luka walked into his room and put Joe on the bed. He walked over to the closet and picked up a blue t-shirt and a pair of jeans and quickly got dressed. When he was dressed he picked up Joe and took him back into his room and put him on the changing table. He changed Joe's nappy and dressed him in a blue top with light blue writing saying daddy's boy and a pair of dark blue trousers. He picked up Joe's stuffed frog form the crib and handed it to him. Luka picked up Joe and headed downstairs. When they were halfway down the stairs the telephone rang. Luka walked into the lounge and picked up the phone "hello" said Luka. "Hello Luka, is Abby there?" said Maggie on the other end of the phone. "No, she is working today, she finishes at 5 if you wanna ring back later" said Luka. "It's ok, I'm just ringing to say I'll see you guys at 11.30 tomorrow" said Maggie. "Ok then see you then" said Luka. "Take care Luka" said Maggie "Bye" said Luka hanging up the phone.
