"Connor," Abby whispered in the middle of the night, shaking her husband gently.
"Hm?" he mumbled.
"It's your turn," she told him as the cries of their three month old got louder.
"I got her earlier," he complained.
"No, I got her an hour ago to feed her. So it's your turn."
Connor rolled over to look at her, his sleep deprived eyes begging her to go get the child.
"Connor Temple, I swear that if you do not go get our child within the next ten seconds you will be sleep with Sid and Nancy for the next week. I'm tired, hungry, upset that I still have ten more pounds to lose and in a fight I would have you down in no time," she growled.
"Fine," Connor sighed, crawling out of bed, nearly running into the side before realizing his eyes weren't even open. "Can't I at least bring her in here? Maybe she'll sleep better with us."
"I'm up for anything at this point."

An hour later the two found themselves at wits end. They had tried everything to get young Sophie to sleep but nothing worked. Abby had tried feeding her again, but the child wouldn't even consider taking the bottle. Connor tried reading her to, but the wailing still continued. They'd tried giving her a passie and letting her watch the telly. Abby tried singing while Connor rubbed her belly.
"Conn, I can't do this anymore. I know we said that we would try to do this on our own but if I don't get sleep soon, I'm going to murder someone," Abby sighed, rocking Sophie back and forth.
"We'll call Jenny in the morning and see if her and Cutter can watch Soph for the night. She never seems to cry for them."
"Are we bad parents Connor?" she asked sadly.
"Of course we're not. We're just…inexperienced."
"So are Cutter and Jenny."
"Yeah, but they had to put up with us, and we're more trouble than most toddlers in their terrible twos, yeah?"
Abby nodded and the grinned. "Look Conn," she whispered. "She going back down."
"See," he whispered, going over to where she was standing. "We'll get through it. And to think, one day we're going to miss these times," he chuckled.
"I suppose we will," she nodded, kissing her little girl's forehead.

Oh God, wow. I am so sorry, that was so not up to par. I just felt so bad about not updating lately that I would think of something on the spot and wing it. Okay won't do that again. I promise the next one will be much much better, and if not then you can bring out the pitchforks and tomatoes.
I have a quick question. Do you guys remember my OC Elizabeth, Connor's sister? Well, I'm not usually a big fan of OCs but a lot of people on this site seem to be. Do you guys want me to bring her back after the 'wedding series' is over or not? Let me know.
I love you all oh so very much,
Spike.
