Baby Brother

32- A Break

~James's Perspective~
I was a bit disappointed to hear my sweet angel was being stubborn, but I didn't blame him too much. It was all new to him, and it would be a while until he got used to it. I knew how much he wanted it just to be me and him, wanting it to be special to us, but I think this was for the best. He had been hurt real badly and he was already stressed as it was. I felt bad for leaving him, knowing how uncomfortable he was being little around his brothers, but I had to work. There was no way I could take him with me. That's also a reason why he didn't move in with me. When I'm at work, there's no one to take care of him while I was gone. My little one was much too young to stay by himself. I didn't trust him to. I had decided to take him home with me that night to rewind, hoping it'd calm him down a bit. If it were just me and him. I'm sure Riley, my German Shepherd, would love to see him too. I hold my crying baby close, rubbing his back and telling him everything will be okay as I packed up his stuff. This would be his first time sleeping over at my house since he had been to worried about his brothers to have before. I was rather excited to have my baby for a whole 24 hours, but I didn't show it too much. I just hope he sent cranky the whole time. He gets cranky when he skips his nap. I carried him out to my car with his diaper bag and his shark stuffie. He whined a little as I buckled him into his carseat. "Shh, it's okay," I tried to sooth him, gently wiping his tears and slipping a pacifier in his mouth. "It's okay," I kissed his head before shutting the door and getting myself. I started the car and turned on my Disney cd, hoping the music would help sooth the boy to sleep. I could help but smile as I looked at the boy from the rear view mirror. Such a cute little boy. I slowly pull out of the drive. This was going to be one of the best nights ever.

*Nate's Perspective*
I didn't want bubby to go, but at the same time I was happy to have my big brothers all to myself again. I even heard that we were going to go to the park! I was so exited! I bounced in Timmy's arms, looking as though I was about to take off into space! "You're awfully excited for Yoshi to leave," he joked. I give him a frown. "I not esited," I told him. He simply laughed at me. "Oh, okay buddy," he cooed, kissing my forehead. I leaned against his chest, enjoying all the attention he was giving me. I know I probably don't deserve it since I've been a brat all week, but it felt nice. I really needed this. A break. To have time just to relax with my big brothers. I loved them all dearly. I giggled as Marcus entered the room with some changing supplies. I begin kicking my legs. "No!" I say playfully. He grabbed my feet, tickling them a little. "Nope, you're stinky," he teased as he tried to change me while I kick and giggle. "Nuu! You tinky!" I giggled more as I shifted a little. My
brother sighed. "Okay, Nate, seriously stop," he said as he finished up. This time, I listened, but wasn't too happy about it. I just wanted to play! Marcus used to love to play! What was wrong with him? Did I do something? Nah, I would never! He picked me up and carried me out to the car after getting the bag ready for the park. Yay! Park time!
