"Um…"
"What do we do…?"
Both ninja blink and stare at the small creature before them, which is currently crying for an unknown reason. Nya hesitates for a moment before she gently wraps her hands around the infant's back, lifting her up. The water master slips one arm underneath the baby's back, supporting her neck. She then cradles the other arm around the small human being.
Said baby was found by Lloyd, Jay, and Kai, who had been out on a mission when they found this particular baby with no parents around. Lloyd brought her back and had asked Nya and Cole to take care of her while the others tried to find out who the parents were.
Nya bounces lightly on her feet, humming softly, hoping the vibration will be enough to calm the infant down.
"You're good at that," Cole notices, stepping up beside her and planting a loving kiss on her neck. Nya smiles up at him before she looks back down at the infant, whose eyelids are beginning to droop.
"Eh, I remember some stuff Misako taught me a while back," Nya responds, gently placing the baby back into her makeshift crib of blankets and pillows.
"Oh. Well…does she have a name?" Cole questions, gazing down at the small child snoozing peacefully.
"I don't think we've found it yet," Nya answers, stepping back.
"I guess we should give her one, then?" Cole says more like a question.
Nya nods. "What were you thinking?"
Cole frowns for a minute in consideration before his face lights up. Nya giggles at his cute expression. "I like the name Lena."
"I like that, too. Lena it is then!"
…
Cole groans, trying to cover his ears as the screeching of the baby continues. He glances at the digital clock resting on his nightstand. It reads: 2:31 AM. Groaning, he tosses the blankets aside and hops down from his bunkbed.
The others were still out on a mission, with the exception of Zane, who still slept soundly through all the noise. Shaking his head, the earth master approaches the guest room where Lena was supposed to be.
He finds her in her makeshift crib. She wiggles about as her cries continue. Cole rubs his eyes, then picks the squirmy baby up in his arms.
"Hey," he mumbles, voice gruff as he tried calming the baby down, huffing when she kept crying. "Hm…how about a lullaby?"
Shifting the girl in his arms, he tries to remember the one song his mother used to sing to him when he was really little. The lyrics slowly come back to him.
He hums a little bit before beginning.
In the still of the night
I held you
Held you tight
He continues rocking her back and forth. She wiggles gently, but her relentless energy begins to subside a little bit.
'Cause I love
Love you so
Promise I'll never
Let you go
In the still of the night
Cole keeps on walking around with the little human, unaware of Nya standing in the doorway.
I remember
That night in May
The stars were bright above
I'll hope, and I'll pray
He shifts her to his other arm, lightly bouncing on his feet as he glances down at little Lena. Her eyes are droopy again.
To keep
Your precious love
Well before the light
Hold me again
With all of your might
In the still of the night
He gives a small smile at the little child in his arms. Of all the things he's accomplished in his career as a ninja, this was definitely the hardest and least expected.
So before the light
Hold me again
With all of your might
In the still of the night
In the still of the night
He silently cheers in victory as her eyelids close completely and her breathing steadies out. Sighing in relief, he slowly tried to set her down into her crib.
Then she started crying again as soon as he set her down. Nya had a hard time keeping her giggles silent as Cole mumbled a few choice words and picked the girl back up again.
…
Hey all! Here's a short lil thing. Hoped you liked it! I based the second part off of Castiel singing a lullaby to that baby…I just had to make Cole do that too, omg!
A'ight, so the rewrite I announced? I hit a little block, but at least I'm still writing.
Also, I'm going to start taking requests for the following ships:
Kailor
CoNya
Jaya
PixZane
RoNya
Ash X Nya (lol haven't seen that one in forever)
Platonic stuffs
The reason why I'm doing this is because after this thingo gets finished, Imma be at a loss for what to write, so I decided to try taking requests again.
Feel free to request a specific scene, or just a genre, like fluff, angst, or whatever. Just drop a comment or PM me. It won't be out for a while, but I'd like to get a head start if possible.
As for the rewrite, like I said, I hit a block, but I'll get through it :D have a good day/night!
By the way...next chapter is going to have sexy times. No smut, just seduction *insert lenny face here* just so y'know.
