So sorry for the long delay. School's almost over so that means finals are coming up. Yay…
Danielle cried her eyes out as Egon brought her into the firehouse. She had never been away from both parents and it was extremely frightening for her. She cried and cried wanting to go back home to her parents.
Egon looked at Danielle. He didn't understand what was wrong with her. Every time he came over to Ray and Denise's, Danielle was always so well behaved. She never cried this much. Egon sat her carrier on the table and looked at her, trying to figure out what to do.
"What do babies like?" he wondered as Danielle continued to cry.
Danielle watched as Egon pulled keys from his pocket and shook them in front of her. She stopped crying for a moment, but started back up. Danielle just wanted her parents. Egon looked at the baby and tried to think of something else. He picked up a tape measure off the desk and stretched it out, trying to entertain her. Danielle continued to cry. She didn't like the tape measure.
"You have no idea how to take care of a baby, do you?" Janine asked as she and Louis came into the room.
"Who's baby is that?" Louis asked.
"This is Danielle", Egon said. "She's Ray's and Denise's daughter."
Janine smiled as she picked up Danielle out of her carrier. Danielle screamed louder as she continued crying. She was now in the hands of a strange looking woman she had never seen before. Janine gently bounced the crying baby in her arms, trying to cheer her up. Egon watched them, seeing how scared Danielle looked.
"Here, I got her", he said taking her back into his arms.
Danielle looked at Egon and stopped crying. She knew Egon was a nice person, she could trust him more than this strange lady. Danielle snuggled into his chest and yawned. Egon looked at her and smiled softly as he held her in his arms, rocking her gently. The baby smiled and closed her eyes as she wrapped her little fingers around Egon's bigger finger.
"You're better with kids than I thought", Janine said as she watched him.
Egon put Danielle back in her carrier and took her into his lab where he started experimenting with bits of technology he had been working on recently. He looked at the sleeping baby and smiled. He didn't know how it was possible for a little baby to worm his way into his heart so easily.
