A Restlessness

Dear Dairy,

So...Its been a rocky 5 days since we've been tasked to look after- or I guess "raise" Smg5 and let's just say, not a great start. I've been losing sleep because of these two! Smg5 gets a free pass because she's like a child and all but Smg4 is going to pay for this! Smg4 can barely keep his shit together and get this, since we were both tasked to look after 5, 4 thought would be best if we became roommates so we could look after her "together" so now Smg4 is my new bunkmate! I'll lose my beauty sleep at this rate!
Speaking of losing sleep...

"Dude, go to bed already."

"Hm?" Smg4 owl turned his head towards Smg3; He just put Smg5 to bed not long after but he was still standing in front of his bedroom door as if he was waiting for something. Smg3 only groaned at this; Ever since the first day both Smg4 and Smg3 were tasked to take care of Smg5, Smg4 had been acting strange but it wasn't your typical strange. 

Whatever it was, it was something that struck a nerve in Smg3, "Dude, are you okay?"

"I'm fine 3, I'm fine...honest." He lied.

"No, you're not." Smg3 shut his notebook tight, "You've been acting like this for the past few days and starting to get...concerning..." 

"It's nothing 3, it's nothing I assure you!" Smg4 felt like he was mostly lying to himself this time as he reluctantly backed away from the bedroom door, "Let's just get some sleep, alright?"

Smg3 only brushed it off, "Fine by me."

Smg4 walked over and climbed up onto the top of the bunk where he hoped that he could just sleep off the rest of his nerve-ending night but when the lights were turned off and Smg3 was peacefully asleep, Smg4's crawling anxieties kept him awake that night.

"Do you think we should get a baby monitor?"

"A...a what?" Smg3 raised an eyebrow at Smg4.

"You know, uh..." Smg4's voice trailed off, "Something to keep tabs on 5 when we're not there to watch...over her,"

"Okay, now I know you're being too paranoid."

"What?" Smg4 shrugged at him, "I uh...just...want to take some extra precautions."

"If Smg5 ever needed us, she has a perfect pair of lungs." Smg3 went back to what he was doing earlier and that spoon-feeding Smg5 her breakfast who was practically begging for it, "It never stopped her from using them before..."

"But what if-"

"DUDE, chill out." Smg3 sternly said, "Smg5 is fine, I mean just look at her."

Smg4 took a glance and she looked like a happy baby for the part but she was also a messy one at that. Smg4 took a deep breath, "You're right...you're right..."

"At least you admit it," 3 sighed as he cleaned 5's face with a nearby cloth, "I'm going to the internet graveyard for a bit and see how things are holding up there, you think you can look after 5 by yourself while I'm gone?"

"B-by myself?"

"Yeah, by yourself." Smg3  lifted Smg5 from her highchair as he stood up. "You've done it before Smg4..."

"I-I know that but uh-"

"Great" Smg3 cut 4 off mid-sentence and gave Smg5 into his arms, "Then you'll have no problem looking after her again."
