Searcher was awakened by the sound of crying. He groaned, and he climbed out of the bed, gently making sure that the sleeping Shades was comfortable.

An exhausted murmur escaped Shades, but he was too tired to wake up.

Searcher rubbed the area around his right eyesocket as he walked towards the source of the crying.

"Wheh.. wheh... wheh..."

One of the babies was crying, but which one was it? He wasn't wearing his glasses, and the room was dark...

The baby hiccuped, they were upset.

He grumbled as he used the built in gloves in the incubator, to gently hold the crying baby.

Little sniffles and hiccups came from the tiny baby bones.

"Shh... Shh... Papa's here."

"Wheh.... hic wheh."

He gently rubbed their head. "Papa's got you baby... Papa's got you."

"Sniffllle.. snif.. hic..."

"Ser..." Came Shades exhausted voice, clearly he was not awake.

"Go back to sleep Love, I've got this." He told Shades, as he gently wrapped his Magic around the Baby Bones.

"Ser... unless you're going to grow a pair of breasts, or get a bottle, that's not going happen for Mira." Shades yawned.

"I know... I know. I just wanted to give you a few more minutes of sleep."

"Call a doctor love, we'll have her fed, and back to sleep, in no time. The concentrated magic that I'll feed her will help her" Shades said, yawning, turning on the hospital bed sidelamp.

Searcher looked at the baby that he was holding.

"They have to officially take her out of the device, she's too fragile to stay out for too long. One day you'll be the carrier, and you'll be able to feed them too." Shades said, he looked around for the call button, but he was too sleepy to realize it was closer to his husband.

"I know... I know... But the fact that she's crying is a good sign."

"I worry though, her brothers are already growing their tiny bits of magic but hers isn't growing. She might have to stay feeding on my magic longer." Shades said, worriedly.

Searcher nodded his head, and he gasped when Mira opened her eyes, and when he saw her silver eyelights, that was it. Her father was wrapped around her tiny fingers.

"Muuuuuuuu," Mira yawned sleepily, her face said that she was still grumpy and she wanted food.

"Everything alright Ser?" Shades asked worriedly.

"..... I'm think that she has me wrapped around her tiny fingers..."

"Little girls are like that with their Papa's, especially for skeleton monsters since them having a confirmed gender is rare." Shades giggled, making a aha sound as he finally found the Doctor call button.

"... She's not allowed to have a boyfriend until she's 200 years old..."

Shades cracked up laughing, and at that moment, a nurse entered and she looked started.

"You called?" She asked them.

"Our baby girl is hungry, is it safe for me to feed her?" Shades asked, hopefully, after all, so far he'd only been able to touch his babies through the gloves.
