Baby Player

Jordan- 9 months old

One early morning Hank awoke to the buzzer of his alarm clock groaning he turned over and shut it off. He had got ready for work he dressed in a blue short sleeve shirt, blue jeans and his black boots. The older man retrieved his gun from his safe along with his badge he put it on his belt. Before leaving he checked in on his children they were both still sound asleep, Justin was sprawled out on his bed his arm hanging down quietly he entered the room putting the baby monitor on the nightstand and left the room. He then checked in on his baby girl, Jordan was laying in the crib with a small pink and purple blanket covering her and she had her stuffed rabbit next to her.

Hank smile down at the sight of his little girl, he couldn't believe that she was nine months old it just seemed yesterday he and Anna brought her home from the kissed the top of her head then quietly left her room. He then left the house so he could make it to work early.

It's been a half hour since Hank had left, Jordan was starting to wake up soon she let out a loud cry. Justin jumped out of his sleep after hearing his sister cry he blindly saw the baby monitor on his night stand he figured his father left for work. The elder man got up from his bed and went to his sister's room, Jordan was still crying and wailing her arms around Justin reached down and picked up his crying sister.

"Hey, hey what's wrong munchkin. What's the matter". Justin spoke softly.

All Jordan did was let out a bigger cry which made Justin flinch a little, he changed her diaper hoping that'll calm her down. Once the nine month old had a clean diaper on she was still crying so Justin brought her downstairs and figured she was hungry so he made her some oatmeal he managed to get her to eat a few bites before she had enough and pushed it away. He then gave her a bottle of juice but she didn't want it she continued to wail louder.

For two straight hours Jordan didn't do anything but cry and wail louder and louder, Justin tried everything he could possibly think of and none of it was working. She didn't need to be changed, she didn't want a bottle, she didn't want anything.

"What do you want Jo Jo". Justin says tiredly.

"Ju Ju". Jordan cried.

"What's the matter".

Jordan cried louder eventually she did need a diaper change, Justin managed to get her to eat a little bit more later but the rest of the day all the tiny baby did was cry. Justin would rock, bounce, and cradle his baby sister but her crying didn't lighten up.

It was now reaching 7 in the evening and Jordan's crying grew a little quieter but she still cried and cried, Justin was out of ideas on what to do everything he tried wouldn't work. Suddenly it got quiet Justin got concerned he looked down to see his sister had finally settled down and fell asleep he got confused just then he heard the front door open and his father entering.

"Hey Justin". Hank greeted his son.

"Hey Pop". Justin replied.

Hank looked down to see his little girl fast asleep curled into Justin's arms, Jordan awoke and looked to see her father she had a toothy grin.

"Dada". Jordan says happily.

"Hey baby girl, were you good today". Hank spoke to her.

Justin was now highly confused, the whole day she did nothing but cry and now she's happy and calm. Had he just been played by his baby sister?

"Pop she's was crying all day today, I don't know what happened". Justin said.

"She seems ok now".

Jordan was playing with the collar of her father's shirt with one of her hands and began chewing on one of her fingers. Drool began to come from her mouth and Hank got a napkin and wiped it away. The small family ate dinner after they finished the older father took Jordan upstairs bathed her then put some pajamas on her. He was rocking her gently once she was finally asleep Hank gently put her in the crib and headed to bed.

Before Justin went to bed he checked in on his sister he looked down, Jordan was fast asleep. He knew under that innocent baby smile was something else. He kissed her head then had a small smirk on his face.

"You're such a little player Jo Jo". He whispered.
