The cold wind swept in through the window, sending shivers down Toby's spine. It was a feeling that left Toby with utter discomfort. Happy walks into the room to see Toby standing over the crib watching Joy fall asleep. Ever since Joy was born, Happy has been feeling all new emotions that has made her a different version of herself. She continued to stand in the door frame, watching Toby, watching Joy. Toby turned around and smiled at Happy, so tired from staying up all night trying to comfort a crying baby. Happy walked over slowly towards the crib and Toby. "Hey, she keep you up too" Toby whispered to Happy. "Yeah" Happy replied ever so softly. They both leaned over the crib railing to see Joy asleep, then looked at each other, smiled subtlety and walked out of the room closing the door ever so gently.

Toby looks over at the clock, "2:00 am". As they get into bed "Good Morning" Toby says to Happy with a sarcastic chuckle. Happy looks over at the clock and sighs. Toby and Happy fall asleep like they haven't ever slept before.
