Chapter 8:

It took some work, but Kitt's new room was finally ready. They tried not to move his existing furniture too much, but simply make room for the crib and such. Once the crib and changing table were in place, they unloaded and placed the supplies in their rightful places. Diapers, wipes, clothes, soap, lotion, etc.

At around 9:30 PM, they were all done. With Bonnie's careful instruction, Karr was able to feed his baby brother as well as get him into a brand new soft, light blue onesie after a quick bath. Kitt, surprisingly, didn't mind the warm water in the slightest. He splashed and even managed to get Karr wet a little. The eldest had only chuckled as he got his baby brother out and gently dried him off.

Currently, the others were all finally getting settled down for the night. Bonnie and Devon had swung by his room a few minutes ago, bidding him good night before heading to their respectful suites. Michael came by soon after that. Smiling warmly at the heart warming scene of Karr sitting in the rocking chair reading a book, with an infant Kitt fast asleep on his chest.

"It's late, ya know. You should get some rest before the chaos really starts." Michael said quietly, tiredness seeping into his voice slightly.

Karr only chuckled. "I know. I just figured I'd get him comfortable enough to where he won't notice me slip him into his crib."

Michael smiled amusingly. "Good thinking. But he's probably gonna wake up again sooner or later. They always do."

"Yeah, I know. Bonnie has been giving me the run down of all the do's and don't's."

The other man nodded, a slight smile still on his face. "Alright, well, I'm gonna turn in for the night. Don't be afraid to get one of us if you need help with anything."

"I won't. Thanks."

"No problem. 'Night." Michael said as he started to walk away.

"Good night." Karr replied before pausing suddenly. "Hey, Michael?"

Michael stopped short and stood at Karr's door way. "Yeah?"

"Do you...uh, feel like everyone's being pretty...accepting of the fact Kitt's a baby now?"

A small grin crawled up Michael's face as he looked down for a moment, his fingers gently tapping the door frame. "I don't think we really have a choice, Karr. All we can really do now is try to figure out what we can, and go from there."

Karr nodded to Michael's explanation. The other man gently tapped the door fame again absentmindedly. "Get some sleep, chap."

"I will. Promise."

With a final nod, Michael left. Leaving Karr alone to his own musings in his room. The bright moon light giving the space a peaceful glow. The elder werewolf looked down at the sleeping infant on his chest. He looked so cute in his little light blue onesie. So at peace without a worry in the world.

Too bad I couldn't always provide that for you, little brother. I'm sorry. Karr thought guiltily to himself.

Setting his book down again, he gently held Kitt as he stood up from the plush rocking chair. He walked over to Kitt's room and stopped in front of the crib. Softly shushing the infant as he gently put him down into his warm crib. Thankfully, Kitt never stirred.

Stealthily, Karr backed away from the crib. Completely silent as he made his way over to the door. He looked back over towards the crib, a warm smile on his face.

"Good night, baby brother. I love you." He whispered softly before quietly closing the door. Tiredly heading back to his own room before crashing down on to his bed with a low groan. Totally exhausted from today's events.
