Toris soon began cooking dinner, simple baked potato dumplings, humming a tune. He decided to just forget about any possible feelings towards Feliks besides feelings of friendship and move on. The tune soon became a song, sung under his breath. He turned to go towards the oven and nearly tripped upon seeing a certain blonde in the doorway between the kitchen and the living room, one thin eyebrow raised and a teasing smile on his pink lips.
"You, like, sing pretty well," Feliks said. He sat down at the kitchen table, placing his half empty glass of coffee on it. Toris, who was blushing madly that he had been caught, singing, busied himself cooking. Soon, when everything was in the oven, he sat beside Feliks. He yawned a bit.
"Sleepy?" the blonde asked. Toris nodded a little.
"Yes... I suppose I'll have to get used to it since I'm working full time now," he replied. Feliks hummed a bit, nodding. He sipped his coffee.
"If you want, I could, like, make dinner for you so you don't have to when you get home." The Lithuanian blinked and opened his mouth a few times before he finally managed to reply.
"No, I could never ask that of you. You do so much for me already, and it's only the first day," he said, laughing softly. Feliks shrugged.
"Well... If you say so," the Pole said. The two were silent, but it wasn't awkward at all. Toris found he enjoyed when the blonde male was quiet as much as he enjoyed when he spoke. He smiled to himself. 'Feliks has a nice voice,' he thought. He jumped up, trying to shake out the thought. The male who Toris had been thinking about gave the brunette a questioning look, but Toris ignored it. Instead, he made his way to the oven where he took out the dinner as it was finished. He fixed two heaping plates of the baked potato dumplings before he served it, along with two new cups of coffee. The two men dug in, eating and chatting.

Suddenly, the sound of screeching static interrupted their peace. Again, Toris found himself jumping up. He raced upstairs, recognizing it as the noise the broken baby monitor made when Audra began crying. He entered his daughter's bedroom and smiled.
"Hi princess," he said softly, scooping up the little baby girl. He gently shushed her, rocking her in his arms. A soft look was on Toris's face as he held his daughter. Something about seeing one's own flesh and blood could almost put a trance over you. He sat on a rocking chair that was once his wife's and rocked back and forth. He didn't even notice when Feliks entered the room.
"Things cool?" he asked. Toris jerked his head up. He relaxed and slowly nodded.
"She's teething," Toris mused. He watched as the baby girl squirmed. Though Audra was silent, she still had a pained look on her little face. Feliks nodded.
"Freeze a carrot and have her bite it. It totally helps." Toris nodded a little bit and sighed.
"I was hoping my wife and I would be helping her with teething together," the brunette mumbled. The blonde frowned as he watched his new friend become overcome by sadness. He walked forward and knelt in front of the rocking chair, crossing his arms and resting them on Toris's lap, head cradled in his arms.
"She'd want you to be happy, y'know," Feliks said. "I know everyone says that, but it's, like, true. She doesn't want to see you sad 'cause she's gone." The blonde's green eyes met the brunette's. Toris slowly nodded and smiled a bit.
"Yeah... You're right, Feliks..."

Like, wow. I totally didn't think I could, like, write this!
So I thank you all for the kind reviews, and for putting up with me not being around much. I've been a bit stuck on this, but hopefully I'll be able to do it, and Six Weeks won't be too much longer. I have so many other ideas I want done so I might rush these, so I'm so very sorry if my stories are sucking lately. Thank you again for putting up with me! R&R please!
