I woke up to the sound of Jacobs light cries. I was a really light sleeper so every little sound always woke me up.

I went to get up when I noticed an arm around my waist. I looked behind me and saw Chris still sleeping.

"Chris" I said trying to wake him up. He didn't wake up so I shook him lightly. "Chris wake up".

"Huh? What?" Chris said waking up. When he heard Jacob crying he sat up. I got out of bed and picked Jacob up out of his crib.

"I'll go make his bottle" Chris told me walking out of the room. I watched him walk out of the room then I looked back down at Jacob. I started rocking him lightly and softly singing to him.

"It's okay Jacob. I've got you. Your alright" I said in a baby voice.

"I got his bottle. Do you want me to feed him?" Chris asked me.

"No that's fine. You don't have to-"

"No really. I don't mind. I love kids" Chris told me.

"Okay" I said handing Jacob to him. Chris walked over and sat down on the bed and started feeding Jacob. I walked over and sat down next to Chris. He was talking to Jacob as he fed him.

"Well I never thought I would say this to guy but, your actually really good with babies" I told him with a smirk.

"Thanks? I think" he said making us both laugh.

"It was meant to be a compliment" I told him while laying my head on his shoulder.

"Being good with babies comes with having lots of little cousins" he said.

"How old are your cousins?" I asked him.
