Chapter 6
Nap time
Badwolf's POV
That afternoon
"Wahh!" Cerise had been going on for, at least, an hour now. What did she want? Should I try carrying her around again?
"We just have to let her cry. She wasn't happy with anyting we tried. Why don't you take a shower? I'll have the baby monitor on while I read." Red sat on the couch with her book, seeing my conflicted look.
"I guess so." I left her to read and took a quick, warm shower. It was nice. I dried off and put some sweat pants on. Red was still reading. Cerise had fallen asleep. I think. She wasn't crying anymore and her breathing was steady. But babies are funny like that.
"Did you like your shower?" My wife asked.
"Yeah. I'm going to see if she's ok." I went to nursery. And there she was: my grayed-eyed girl sleeping peacefully. I smiled and quietly closed the door.
"Was she ok?" Red looked up at me.
"Yep. Sound asleep. You doing ok? I'm sorry I can't help tonight." The full moon turned us into beasts and forced us to hunt.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Your mom warned me that Ceris' might not sleep tonight and want to play, but that's it. We'll be fine. She's a good girl." The mother of my child rested her head on my shoulder.
"I love you." I wrapped my arm around her.
"I love you, too, Baddy." She sighed and was soon out like light.
