Frankie: are babies always this loud?!

Frankie was covering their ears as Clawdeen screamed and sobbed in her crib. everytime when someone tried to pick her up, she would scratch them. she wasn't hungry, gassy and she wasn't going to sleep. she also had her purple blanket, pacifiers, teddy and just had a bath 2 hours ago

Draculaura: complaining won't help! she's only a month old, she's gonna cry

Frankie: She's Been Screaming For An Hour! she's not gonna magically get sleepy

Draculaura looked liked she was about to snap so Cleo stepped in

Cleo: screaming at each other is not gonna help anything.

Frankie just sat on the ground while Draculaura grabbed Clawdeen's teddy bear and nudged it against her wet cheek. it usually distracted her since it was very soft and fluffy but Clawdeen kept screaming

Draculaura: I just don't understand. we're doing everything right

Cleo: I have no idea. I was the youngest. no one here had a younger sibling to take care of

Draculaura: yeah, me and Frankie were only child's and all of you had older siblings... maybe I should have paid attention in health class

Cleo: you can't read a book about raising a baby, all babies are different but they all need love and attention

Frankie: I'm tired and bored now, thanks Cleo

Cleo patted Frankie's head

Cleo: your welcome

Draculaura: I do know that babies cry for no reason sometime, but she hasn't cried this hard since she was born.

she covered Claween back up but the infant kicked the blanket off again for the 5th time

Frankie: we've tried everything!

Cleo: not everything, how about a lullaby?

Dracualura: you really think it would work?

Cleo: it's worth a try, here I'll start

Cleo managed to pick up Clawdeen and started to rock her

Cleo: *your okay, your alright, we will never, ever leave your side. we will stay, and we will fight for you...*

Clawdeen stopped screaming but was still crying her little heart out. it wasn't until Draculaura and Frankie came up and held her as well. was when she stopped crying and smiled

Cleo, Draculaura and Frankie: your okay, your alright, we'll stay here through the darkest night, we will stay and we will fight with you...*

it took another 20 minutes of humming and rocking her but she soon fell asleep after Draculaura held her

Frankie: what does this kid have against sleep?

they slid back onto the floor while Cleo was fixing her crib. 

Draculaura: sleep is probably just harder for babies or something

Cleo: then we'll be there until she learns

Draculaura: could we think of longer lullabies? that one was literally 30 seconds long

Cleo: of course

Frankie: can I curse in mine?

Cleo and Draculaura: NO!

Frankie rolled their eyes

Frankie: you are no fun, she can't even understand us

Cleo: she will one day, so lets make up our own. but mine will be the best

Frankie: No Way! When I Make Mine, She Will Be Asleep Before I Open My Mouth!

Draculaura: well mine will be the most smoothing, she will stay asleep!

Frankie: well that's hard because you haven't made it yet. I'm gonna write mine the second the sun sets!

Frankie runs off while Draculaura snarls

Draculaura: *whisper* Stop Running!

she chases after Frankie. Cleo chuckles at the two then presses a light kiss against Clawdeen's forehead and tucks her in

Cleo: good fright little devil
