Sorry about the short chapter but I'm having a busy week!
The Truth About Baby Brothers
Ethan had been home three days. Chloe was starting to think babies weren't so that much fun. Ethan was noisy. He cried all the time, at least in Chloe's opinion. He'd start to cry just as she and mommy were about to play a game or when daddy was going to read her a story. And there were times that it took both mommy and daddy to get Ethan to go to sleep. Last night she didn't even get her bedtime story or get a kiss goodnight. She fell asleep while Ethan was still crying.
Baby brothers are stupid, she thought before sleep overtook her. Daddy and mommy did go in and kiss their daughter but she were already asleep by then. Since he had been home even though it only had been a mere three days, it was no doubt Ethan's waking up three times a night had disrupted Chloe's sleep. That was why they didn't say anything when the girl slept till 9:00 instead the usual 7:30. They checked on her, adjusting the covers and giving her a peck on the cheek but let her sleep. She probably needed the rest. They understood that a new baby in the house was a big adjustment for her as well as them.
That afternoon when Chloe told Eric she didn't like her baby brother because he was "too noisy" he didn't reprimand her; he took Alexx's advice and had put himself in his daughter's shoes, he would have felt the same way. For close to four years Chloe had him and Calleigh all to herself, now she had to share them with someone she thought was "too noisy."
Alexx had told them they had been fortunate. Her daughter Janie decided she didn't like her little brother the moment her parents bought him home.
"Didn't Chloe like Ethan for two days?" She said with a smile.
