Unspoken Oneshots

Lullabys

So we had Levi having trouble sleeping last, now let's take a look at Lorcan the early years ^^ Enjoy!

A wail ripped through the peaceful silence of the nursery, the echoing noise resounding around the house.

The baby monitor crackled to life by the bed, the staticky cries coming through high pitched and crackly.

Both men moaned tiredly as the noise woke them up, Seto cracking one eye open and glancing blearily at the clock next to the monitor, sighing when he saw the time. It was almost four in the morning.

He rolled over, gently prying Brice off him, swinging his legs over the side of the bed and sitting up with a grunt, stifling a yawn.

Brice blinked his eyes open, feeling around for his husband, finding him and throwing an arm around his waist sleepily.

"Want me to go get a bottle?" he slurred, rubbing his eyes, wincing as the cries increased in volume. He definitely got his dad's voice.

Seto yawned once more, shaking his head and standing up, stretching his tired muscles, throwing Brice an assuring smile.

"Nah, I'm ok, babe. He might just need changing or something. You go back to sleep, I've got this one." he murmured softly, chuckling when Brice yawned, snuggling back down into the blankets with a content sigh.

The padded out the room and towards the nursery, opening the door slowly, wincing a little as the wailing got louder as the door opened.

He walked in and went over to the crib, peering in and reaching a hand in, stroking his whimpering sons cheek softly, the one month old boy opening watery blue eyes, and gazing up at his dad, wails dying down just a little at the sight of him.

"Hello, baby boy, what the matter?" he whispered, smiling as Lorcan squirmed, his little gloved hands pawing at his face as he continued to cry, looking ridiculously cute in the Winnie the Pooh onesie Colin bought them the day after he was born.

Seto chuckled, picking Lorcan up and cradling him to his chest, cooing to him softly, making gentle baby noises and bouncing him a little, Lorcan wriggling grumpily in his arms.

He sniffed his diaper, frowning when he couldn't smell anything bad. He didn't feel wet either.

"You hungry, baby? Let's go make you some nummies, hmm?" Seto crooned, Lorcan squirming a little more as if to agree. Seto smiled, kissing the top of his grouchy little mans head.

He tucked him under his chin and carefully padded downstairs, switching on the kitchen light and placing the still wailing Lorcan in his little carry seat, going to the fridge and pulling out a bottle of formula.

He boiled the kettle, cooing to Lorcan to calm him down a little while he waited for the water to heat, sighing in relief when it finished.

Trying to block the headache he had coming on, he placed the bottle of formula in the hot water, rocking the carry seat a little while he waited.

After a few minutes, he checked to the milk temperature on his wrist, satisfied that it was warm enough, before picking Lorcan back up, cradling him carefully with one arm while he picked up the bottle in the other, holding the teet to his pouty lips, a tired smile coming to his face as he latched on, drinking hungrily, the only sound the quiet sucking and small whimpers.
