Don't Wake the Baby – Aoko and Kenshin
Aoko Kuroba sighed as she sat down at the kitchen table. Kenshin, her four year old son, was finally asleep. He'd caught a cold and had been especially fussy about sleeping. She'd just settled down with a cup of tea and a good book when the phone rang. She stared at it in disbelief.
"No! You'll wake the…" Kenshin started fussing in the next room. "…baby."
She sighed grabbing the phone and heading for the next room.
"Hello, this is the Kuroba residence." Aoko settled the phone between her ear and shoulder, opening the bedroom door.
"Mrs. Kuroba, I'm with the…"
She scooped up Kenshin from the bed. "As you've just woken up my son who has the flu, I'm not interested."
After hanging up the phone, she dropped it on the bed. Kenshin had settled back to sleep in her arms, but he started fussing again when she tried putting him down. She just sighed and gave in the inevitable.
"Looks like Mommy's going to take a nap too."
