"Okay, now I am soaked in water, and I officially hate the sound of a rubber ducky." Chuck said as he put Clara into her pajamas. Chuck picked her up off the blanket and she started to scream and cry.

"What are you crying about? I have changed you, fed you, bathed you!" Chuck said as Clara continued screaming "Are you thirsty?"

Chuck rushed over to the fridge and grabbed a bottle and heated it up. He then handed it to Clara who knocked it out of his hands.

"Ahh..." Chuck said looking at the puddle of spilled milk on the floor

"I know! I'll call Ellie."

Chuck proceeded to call Ellie,but received no answer multiple times. So he decided to call Devon, same thing. So he tried calling Alex.

"Hey Alex I need your help calming Clara down please. She won't stop crying and I don't know what to do." Chuck said

"Chuck, that's great and all, but I am in the middle of something very important and I can't talk right now, sorry." Alex said and then she hung up

Chuck didn't know elsa at to do and Clara was still screaming. His fingers ran through his contract list on his phone. His mom probably wouldn't be available, Morgan would be no help, Jeff and Lester are well, Jeff and Lester. So there was really only one person left, Sarah. Chuck tapped his fingers on the counter for at least 3 minutes before hitting the call button. 

ring, ring, ring, ring

"Hello." Sarah answered

"Hey, umm Sarah, I sort of need your help. Clara won't stop crying I think she is sick. Do you think she could have colic?" Chuck asked

"Chuck, how old is Clara?" Sarah said obviously knowing the answer.

"I believe she is 16 months." Chuck replied still trying to calm the baby down.

"K, uh Chuck, she can't have colic if she is 16 months old, it is very rare, the baby only gets colic when they are around 3-6 months, and it's usually caused by the brand of formula the baby is using, and Clara is using regular milk and solid food at this age, so it ain't colic." Sarah stated

"K," Chuck said, "Then what do I do?"

"Did you call Ellie?" Sarah asked

"No, why would I call Ellie! That's absurd!" Chuck said sarcastically sounded frustrated.

"Chuck! You need to stop spiraling. It's not the end of the world." Sarah said calmly

"Sorry." Chuck apologized

Sarah told Chuck to do numerous things, any thing she could think of. Each of them chuck obeyed, but none of them worked. After chuck spent 40 minutes trying to calm the baby down, he finally just asked Sarah if she would come over and help him. She replied with a yes and drive over.
