It was quiet inside of the house. When it was time for Veruca and Mike to go to sleep everything stopped in the house. Veruca and Mike were in their bed they were sound asleep. Emma was in her crib, in the nursery, on the other side of the room. The silence of both of them being sound asleep was shattered when Emma started crying over the baby monitorin the nursery. Mike rolled over as he looked to Veruca. He was shaking her to be awake. Veruca woke up.
"Emma's awake.",said Mike to her
There was a moment of silence between them.
"I'll do it later.",mumbled Veruca.
Mike's shocked look was missed by Veruca's closed eyelids.
"Veruca, are you going to let her cry!?",yelled Mike.
Suddenly, his wife said,
"I'm dealing with a lot as it is. I don't have the time…" ,Veruca trailed off.
Her phone beeped with new text messages. Mike sighed as he got out of bed to calm down Emma.
Meanwhile~
When Mike arrived at the nursery to pick up Emma from her crib, he looked at her. Emma continued sobbing.
"Alright Emma, what do you need?"he asked softly.
He sniffed Emma's behind to see if she needs a diaper change. Nothing. Mike tries to burp her, turns out she wasn't crying for that either. The next thing Mike tried to do was rock her to sleep. As soon as Emma felt her father's arms wrapped around her, she closed her eyes and went back to sleep. That was a relief to Mike, as he was able to put her back into her crib. He let out a sigh he looks through the door that leads to he and his wife's bedroom. He could see through clearly that Veruca didn't even get up once from the bed. He could already tell that something was not okay…
