A/N: Thanks very much to the flamer who didn't sign in so I couldn't reply to your 'constructive critisism'. Really appreciate it.
Anyway, thanks to all the other reviewers :-)
Day 1: Lack of sleep
That night, the kids decided to watch a movie. They sat down together watching the screen all jumped as an ear piercing wail filled the room.
Wally groaned. "Numbuh 3! Can you shut that baby up! It was just getting good!"
Kuki glared at him. "He's a baby Wally! Babies cry!"
She held Tyson close, whispering softly in Tyson's ear. "Shh, quiet down baby...shh."
Wally faced the screen but secretly watched her, he gave a sigh. She'd always been gentle and sweet, to everyone. If anyone could calm a baby, she could.
Tyson mumbled and quietened down a little, murmuring and grumbling quietly. Refusing to settle.
Kuki stood up and took Tyson behind the couch, near the doorway. She held Tyson upright, holding his bottom by her waist and his head rested against her shoulder, she had her cheek against his head.
"Shh, shh, shhh, it's okay." She whispered.
Wally's head slowly turned so that he could get a better view. He stared at her, a smile slowly spreading on his face. She was so...comforting.
Tyson soon fell asleep and Kuki disappeared to place him in Bradley's old baby seat.
Hoagie burst out laughing. Wally jumped and looked at him questioningly.
"What?"
Hoagie grinned. "You missed the good part 'cause you were too busy making goo goo eyes at Numbuh 3."
"No I wasn't!" Wally exclaimed. "I saw the whole thing."
Abby smirked. "Oh really? What just happened?"
Wally shrugged, glancing at the screen and guessing what had happened.
"They're learning a new song for music class."
Abby and Hoagie laughed.
"Nowhere near buddy." Hoagie chortled. "That guys just realised how musical the kids are and now he's trying to get them to form a band for him."
Wally frowned and crossed his arms. "I...fell asleep..that's why I don't remember."
"Riiight. Anyway, Numbuh 5's way too overtired. Numbuh 5's going to bed." Abby replied.
Hoagie nodded. "Me too."
The two walked out. Kuki came back in. She smiled and sat down on the floor in front of the couch.
"He's asleep. Where'd everyone go?"
"Bed." Nigel replied with a yawn. "I'm going to follow them. Goodnight."
"Night." Kuki smiled. She looked up at Wally and smiled, pulling herself from the floor onto the couch next to him.
She took a second to bring her legs up and sit Indian style. She then looked at the TV screen.
"What have I missed."
Wally watched the screen blankly and shrugged. "Dunno, I missed it 'cause...I went to get a drink."
"Oh." Kuki sighed. Blinking at the screen. "I'd better go to bed anyway."
She stood up and walked out. It wasn't too long before Wally switched off the TV and made his way to bed.
He buried his head in his pillow and took a breath. Relaxing and beginning to doze off. He suddenly jumped as he heard the screeching sound of Tyson's wail.
He frowned and pulled the pillow over his head, trying to muffle the sound.
"Shut it up!" He grumbled.
…
The other kids were doing the same. Abby groaned as she plugged in her ear phones, flicking her music to full blast.
Hoagie scrunched his face and stuck his fingers in his ears. Growling as he wished he would soon go deaf from the babies screeching, just to drown out the sound.
After tolerating the bawling for twenty minutes Nigel snarled as he sat up, storming into Kuki's room.
Kuki on the other hand (being a very heavy sleeper) hadn't been phased by Tyson's crying and was out cold, happily dozing, tucked up in her bed.
"Numbuh 3!" Nigel said through gritted teeth. "Numbuh 3! NUMBUH 3!"
...nothing.
Nigel squinted his eyes and shook her by the shoulders.
...nothing.
Nigel stormed out of the room and came back with a cup full of cold water. Throwing it over her.
Kuki mumbled and pulled her blanket over her head.
Giving up, he walked over to Tyson.
"Hey! Shh!" He hissed. "Be quiet!"
He frowned and loosened the straps of the babies chair. He gently grabbed Tyson's arms and picked him up cautiously. Unknowing if he was holding him right or not.
He tried moving him up and down, then side to side...it didn't work.
"What's wrong with you?" Nigel grumbled.
Abby then appeared in the doorway. "What is goin' on in here? It sounds like a massacre!"
"I don't know what's wrong with it!" Nigel hissed, now becoming stressed. "Numbuh 5, you can make babies sleep. Sing him that lullaby."
Abby sighed. "It's too late."
Nigel forced the baby into Abby's arms. "Just do it Numbuh 5! For all of our sake!"
Abby looked at Tyson and slowly rocked him.
"One, two, three, four, hush, shush, shh, snore." She sang. Then sighed as the baby continued to scream. "Numbuh 5 don't think this baby likes her much. Come to think of it, right now Numbuh 5 ain't too fond of dis baby."
"I can't take it any more!" Wally exclaimed as he and Hoagie came in. "Why hasn't it quietened down?"
"We can't make it stop and Numbuh 3 won't wake up." Nigel groaned.
Wally looked over at Kuki. He walked over to her bed and grabbed hold of Kuki's rainbow monkey. Pulling it firmly. He soon got it out of her grip and held it away from her bed. Kuki muttered in her sleep. Fumbling around for her rainbow monkey. She whined in her sleep, then her eyelids flickered and her head raised as she looked for her toy.
"Numbuh 3?" Nigel snarled.
Kuki blinked sleepily. "Hmm?"
"The babies crying!" Nigel pointed out.
"Oh?" Kuki yawned.
Nigel glared at her. "You brought it here so you stop it and we can sleep!"
Abby handed Tyson to Kuki, who dreamily bobbed him up and down while shushing in his ear. Tyson soon fell asleep and the rest of the team went back to bed.
Around two hours later there came a loud unanimous groan as Tyson began to scream again.
Nigel's voice was then heard from down the hall. "NUMBUH 3!"
