Pursuit of Happiness

The alarm was blaring. Shit, how could he forget to turn that off? It was one of his rare days off and he definitely did not want to be woken up by his alarm. The man rolled over and he turned off the alarm and groaned. He nuzzled back into his pillows and was slowly starting to drift off to sleep, but was soon startled back awake by a whine, and the start of little cries. He rolled over and pulled the small figure close. "Ah, I'm sorry. Did the alarm wake you?" Oda says patting his little back as the baby sniffled. Oda started to hum and he laid the baby on his chest and gently rubbed his back as he hummed. Oda smiled as the baby started to go back to sleep, he smiled. The baby was truly a blessing, after losing everything. He was happy to have one precious thing that he loved, that kept him on his feet. Oda stopped humming as he realized his little one fell back asleep, and he held him close as he drifted back off to sleep himself.
