Chapter 18.

~ Cynthia ~

3 and a half weeks gone by.

It's 2:00am in the morning and I am drowning of sleep. Keilani, constantly cries all the time at this time. She has a difficult sleeping pattern. It's starting to get worst.

I picked her up from her cot and cooed her to be quiet as I make my way down stairs to the kitchen to make her bottle.

She cries even louder.

For fuck sake.

"Keilani", I moaned. "Please keep quiet, man", I complained to her.

I hear someone walking down the stairs. I just knew they would be coming in the kitchen because of Keilani loud cries.

"Pass her to me", I hear Keiran say to me.

I pass Keilani to Keiran gently. He soothed her and cooed. Just by the minute, she stops crying. As always.

Everytime she cries and i make Keiran hold her, suddenly she stops crying.

She definitely loves uncle Keiran.

Keiran sat down with her and rocked himself slowly so Keilani can enjoy the little ride. She smiles and gurgles to him. Which makes him smile.

"Why you making so much noise, boogie?", Keiran said to her.

She gurgles to him with a smile. It's like she knows what he's saying.

Yes, Keiran calls Keilani 'boogie'. That's her pet name from him.

I start preparing her bottle. This time I made two because I know she'll be waking up for the second time.

I got a bowl of cold water and place her two hot bottles in it, to cool. Then sat down at the dining table with Keiran and Keilani.

"You look tired!", Keiran said to me. "I am", I complained. "She won't stop crying", I winged. "She wants more attention from you", he said to me.

I rolled my eyes.

I give Keilani every second of my attention to her. It's like whatever I do, she dislikes it or starts crying. Feel like I'm going to have a breakdown because I try my hardest to be the best I can be.

Trust me, don't get pregnant at 15. It will be a nightmare.

Wear protection. Always!

Keiran went upstairs to his room with Keilani. I took out both of her bottle and made my way to Keiran's room.

I gave him one of her bottle and put the other one on his chester table. I quickly ran into my room to get a clean bib for Keilani. As that was done, I watched Keiran feed Keilani till she feel asleep. It made me relief seeing how easy it is for Keiran but if that was me feeding Keilani, she'll still be crying.

"Go get some sleep", Keiran told me. "Are you sure?", I asked him. "Yeah man....go bed", he said smiling.

Thank God.

I went to my bed in peace.

--- Next Morning.

I woke up, still knackered but better from last time.

I went to Keiran's room, seeing him changing her nappy and she gurgles and kicks her tiny feet up in the air.

"You had a good sleep?", he asks me. "Enough sleep but still knackered", I yawned. "You look like your having it easy", I said to him still yawning. "She ain't no problem for me", smiles Keiran. "Init boogie?", he said to Keilani with a giggle.
