In an attempt to overcome his fear of diapers now his own baby were on the way Ryan Wolfe were babysitting Nevaeh Delko solo tonight while the couple had their date night. He knew he was in for a ride when the moment her parents were out of the door she gave him an impish grin.
"What did I get myself into?" He said out-loud.
The baby girl was in just her diaper; her parents said she were more comfortable like this at this point in the evening. Ryan would have to change her diaper and put her pajamas on her in an hour anyway. Calleigh had put out two pairs of summer pajamas next to the crib being she knew Ryan wouldn't bother to look around beyond the change table. Two pairs because Nevaeh were a messy eater and sometimes needed another set of clothes after she ate her snack which tonight was a cup of apple sauce and an oatmeal cookie with a cup of apple juice mixed with water.
Playing with the Nevaeh and keeping her entertained was easy. Ryan felt his heart begin to melt when Nevaeh spontaneously gave him a hug and sloppy kiss on the mouth while they were playing. He was definitely beginning to realize why Eric enjoyed being at home and looked forward to the end of the day so much.
"I love you, too," Ryan said, kissing the top of Nevaeh's head. "Are you cold?" he asked, feeling the baby's back. "Do you want to get your jammies on and then we'll play again?"
Nevaeh nodded and let Ryan carry her to her room. Changing a diaper and dressing the baby was much easier than Ryan thought. It was sweet hearing Nevaeh babble as he dressed her. Nevaeh giggled when Ryan sang "the itsy bitsy spider" and tickled her tummy with two fingers. The CSI was having more fun than he thought was going to. Maybe she didn't get too tired he let stay up a bit later than the bedtime that her parents specified. Chloe continued to babble as walked out the room, holding onto two of Ryan's fingers. The little girl actually fell asleep in Ryan's lap in the rocking chair while he was reading her a bedtime story. He gave her a kiss before he put her in the crib.
When Nevaeh's parents got home they hid their laughter seeing how neatly and precisely all of their child's toys had been stacked up and put away. The kitchen counter and the baby's high chair was pristine, the dishes were put away, the couch were perfectly arranged and the load of laundry from the dryer which consisted of Nevaeh's clothes, towels and washclothes were folded and arranged, by color, in the armchair. It looked like Ryan even dusted the television and top of the entertainment center.
Calleigh told her husband, smiling, she didn't know if she liked this, it was putting her housekeeping to shame. After Ryan left Eric said he knew why Natalia was marrying Ryan; the CSI was a great housekeeper.
Calleigh laughed and hit Eric in the arm.
