Vianna's crystal blue eyes were dazed as they fluttered open when the kiss came to an end, the warmest and most admiring of smiles curving her lips as she was greeted with the sight of her husband right beside her, looking unintentionally handsome as always with that goofy smile of his. As he then spoke, coming to the conclusion that she was cheating by distracting him with kisses, Vianna's eyebrows rose and her jaw dropped. "Lies!" she quickly denied, a giggle escaping her lips. "It's not my fault you have to make it so difficult to not kiss you, Professor," she explained matter-of-factly, "This all leads back to you, you're the real culprit here," she accused playfully, poking him accusingly with her index finger.

Ferris gave an amused grin, brown eyes sparkling, as Vianna immediately denied his accusation and decided that his words were merely lies, letting out one of those intoxicating giggles. He let out a soft chuckle as he shook his head and tried to deny this, listening as she then added that it wasn't her fault that he made it difficult not to kiss her, that it all lead back to him. "I'm not the guilty one here!" he growled playfully, pushing her very gently back into the sheets as he pulled her closer, now looking down at her with the warmest of his slightly lopsided smiles, brown eyes admiring the sight of her. "Let's just agree that this is all your fault," he suggested teasingly as he leaned down and began to plant loving kisses to the side of her expression. "I think it'd be a great idea."

"No!" Vianna very quickly rejected Ferris's suggestion to let this all be her fault, not even taking a moment to think about it. But there was playfulness still in her eyes, of course, as she wasn't seriously upset about this. "I can only agree with you on one thing, Professor, and that is to disagree with all your false accusations," she explained simply, trying her best not to grow distracted by the many playful and sweet kisses he was placing on the side of her face, though she found it impossible not to giggle at these teases. "Why can't you just agree with your wife for once and make her happy?" she asked with a bit of a pout, pulling out the guilt card. "All I'm asking for is that you admit how kissable you are, is that so horrible?"

Ferris let out a soft chuckle and a playful growl of mock anger as Vianna immediately denied the idea of agreeing with him, deciding that she only could agree with him on the matter of disagreeing to all of his false accusations. "They're not false!" he immediately replied with a soft chuckle, unable to keep up his mock anger act as he planted warm kisses to her beautifully tanned skin. He listened as she continued, asking why he couldn't just agree with his wife and make her happy, that she was only asking that he admit how kissable he was. "I'm not kissable!" he denied just for the sake of denying it, playful as he always was with the girl as he planted sweet kisses to her collarbone. He finally pulled back only to grin at her, "And I don't see how admitting that could make you perfectly happy!"

Vianna furrowed her brows slightly at the young man beside her as he quickly denied to her accusations of being kissable, going on to add that he didn't see how admitting such a thing could make her perfectly happy. "Fine," muttered Vianna simply, scooting a short distance away from her husband and pulling to sheets high over herself, up to her shoulders. "If you're not as kissable as I thought then I see no point in staying awake," she decided simply, turning on her side, her back to him, as she cuddled up beneath the covers. "I'm tired and only kissable professors can help keep me up."

Ferris watched with rather surprised eyes and raised eyebrows as Vianna gave a simple 'fine' before scooting away from him and turning to let him face her back as she pulled the sheets up to her shoulders. His arms unwillingly released her waist as she did so, listening as she then explained that she had no point in staying awake if he wasn't kissable, that only a kissable Professor could keep her up. His jaw dropped slightly at her sneaky tactic, still longingly able to feel her skin beneath his lips through his memory, waiting a few moments to just test if she was kidding. He knew it was his own imagination, but he already felt colder and even a bit saddened by the lack of those giggles filling the air. As he realized that she'd be sticking with this decision a bit longer, he very gently got closer to her, suddenly up right at her side, one of his arms coming to rest around her waist from the top (unable to get around beneath her waist due to the sheets). Studying the side of her expression for a moment, he thought for a second before very gently planting his lips to the corner of her jaw, just by her earlobe. He let his lips remain there lovingly for a moment longer than necessary before he moved on to slowly kiss her cheekbone, his lips warm and gentle on her lightly tanned skin, adoring in the way that he kept his lips there for just a second too long. "What if I don't want my gem asleep?" he grumbled to her ear, a bit of a smile on his face. But that was all he said as he slowly began to plant kisses in specific places; her cheek, her jaw, even a couple behind her ear, very gentle and hardly there. He gently used his free hand to sweep her hair from one of her shoulders, moving it out the way so he could begin to place warm kisses to the back of her neck.

Vianna couldn't help but give a small, warm smile as she felt Ferris return to her side, his arm resting around her waist in the way that was always so comfortable and cozy to her. She could feel his gaze on her, but didn't face him yet, still a little reluctant to give in without getting the confession from him that she wanted, ever the stubborn one. But she was distracted from this mission she was on the second his lips came in contact with her skin, relishing in the feel of them on her jaw, her cheekbone, etc. As he then suggested the idea that perhaps he didn't want his gem asleep, Vianna gave a soft, brief chuckle. "Well, only my kissable Professor would know how to keep his gem awake," she replied, only to grow distracted once again as his lips returned to her skin, treating her so warmly and lovingly, beginning to daze the girl the way only his kisses could. Her crystal blue eyes closed for a moment as his lips met the back of her neck, sending a sort of electricity to wash over her for a moment, before she snapped out of this daze her eyes opened. "Are you going to admit it now, Professor?" she asked, stubborn as always to let the subject drop without receiving her triumph.

ooc: BRB for 20-30!

OOC: Bahahahahahahaha! Dee, we're so in sync!

Ferris, who had taken on a sort of mission to get her to forget about this whole kissable Professor thing (he had a bit of playful competitiveness in himself as well), wasn't exactly thrilled when Vianna interrupted his kisses to explain that only her kissable Professor would know how to keep her awake. He ignored this, deciding to answer merely by placing more kisses along her neck lovingly, adoring the idea that he was bringing her a bit of joy through this action. He too was enjoying this situation they had, just falling back into it when she then interrupted the comfortable silence to ask if he was going to admit to being kissable. And despite the competitiveness that he'd had in the beginning, his mind set had sort of changed and he now found himself just wanting to kiss her, wanting to feel her lips or her skin beneath his own. "Will it make you happy if I admit to this lie?" he asked of her with raised eyebrows, playfulness in his gaze as he gave her a soft smile. "Fine," the young man decided with a soft sigh and a teasing roll of his eyes, sitting up on his knees now so he could face her better. "I, Ferris Montgomery, am quote-unquote 'kissable'; a.k.a a big, gangly, nerdy 'hunk' all yours (and only yours) for the taking," he decided with a flash of his grin, letting out a soft chuckle at his own words as he put his arms out as though to reiterate the idea that she could just take him whenever she wanted. "Now will you stay up with me?"

ooc: Srsly!

Vianna turned around as Ferris asked if it would make her happy if he admitted to this lie, her crystal blue eyes narrowing slightly at him, disapproving of his choice of words, though there was clear amusement on her features. "Maybe," she replied simply, watching as he then sat up on his knees, rather dramatically declaring that he, Ferris Montgomery, was kissable, or in other words, a 'big, gangly, nerdy 'hunk' that was all hers for the taking. Vianna fell into a fit of giggles then, far too amused by the young man sitting up beside her, her crystal blue eyes sparkling up at him as he put his arms out and asked if she would now stay up with him. "Hmm..." Vianna muttered with playful thoughtfulness before sitting up in the next second, tackling the boy down onto the pillows of their bed. "Yes, I think I will stay up with my 'big, gangly, nerdy hunk'," she decided with an amused giggle, placing her lips upon his own while at the same time moving off the boy, so she was laying beside him again rather than on top of him. But she never let her lips separate from his own, relishing in the feel of them, in having him so close once more and finally being able to kiss him again.

OOC:

Ferris's eyebrows rose once more as she pretended to think on his offer, watching him with those blue eyes that he couldn't help but adore as he watched her think this over. Before anything else could be said, he suddenly found himself being tackled back into the pillows of their bed, letting out a soft "Oof!" as the smaller girl easily pushed him back. But he was chuckling softly, brown eyes sparkling as she decided that she would stay up with her big, gangly, nerdy hunk, dimples coming out of hiding at this statement. His arms wrapped around her as she then allowed her lips to find his own, creating a kiss that immediately washed away his laughter and merely inspired him to kiss her back as lovingly as he could. The young man pulled her closer without hesitation, now realizing just how much he'd missed her lips, any thoughts he'd had prior immediately falling away from him as he lost himself in the feel of her so near to himself.

Vianna's lips curved slightly into a smile as Ferris returned her kiss, pure joy radiating from the way her lips moved against his own. It was ridiculous, really, how much she'd missed his lips when they had only been separated for a couple minutes. But even just a couple minutes was far too long, too much time for the girl to be left without his lips, especially now, after so long, that she could finally kiss him the way she had so wanted to for all these months but found herself unable to do. It felt great to finally be able to kiss him like this again, and their joy over this was beyond obvious in the way they kissed, as if they hadn't seen each other in years rather than just toned down the kisses for a few months.

ooc: Should we FF a couple hours ahead and put them to bed?

OOC: Yeah, sure that works!

Ferris couldn't help but find himself overwhelmed with how nice her lips felt on his own, loving how close he could pull her next to himself. It'd felt like far too long since he'd last been able to hold her like this and every time he realized once more that he could get so close to her, a fresh wave of joyful realization fell through the young man who'd grown so used to being at least a foot or so away from his wife at all times. Not that he didn't love the pregnancy, of course he loved the time when their baby was still a mystery and developing all that he'd need. But... Nothing compared to pulling Vianna so close and kissing her like he was, finding himself falling into a cloud as his instincts took over and he kissed her sweetly.

OOC: I might need about twenty minutes to finish something up!

ooc: Okay

It wasn't until a few hours later that Fervi finally went to sleep, tired from the long day they'd had taking care of little Gabe and just learning how to be parents to this new baby boy. It was a tiring process, and it was something that would take them months if not years to completely master, to completely get the hang of.
After wishing her husband a good night and awarding him one last good night kiss, Vianna allowed her tired blue eyes to close, drowsiness taking over her body and allowing her to very quickly fall asleep, cuddled up beneath the sheets and covers of their cloud-like bed, completely warm and comfortable in Ferris's arms, in his presence. After having spent the last night at the hospital on a bland little bed, her body felt more grateful than ever to be back on her own bed, to finally get a chance to sleep completely peacefully and comfortably.

That is, until some time around 1:30 in the morning.
The wails and shrieks and cries of a newborn echoed loudly throughout the house, so loud and incessant that you'd think someone was harming the baby, causing him to scream out like this. But of course, that wasn't the case. He was probably just hungry or needed his diaper changed.
It took Vianna a few long moments to be disturbed enough from her slumber to open her eyes, completely blinded by the darkness in the room. Brows furrowed, she glanced around for a moment, as if searching for the source of the sound before it dawned on her - it was Gabe. He was in the nursery. Vianna yawned sleepily to herself, though she was quick to sit up, not wanting to leave the little one waiting. Slowed down by her sleepiness, the girl took a brief moment to stretch her arms before getting up from bed and making her way out of the room, down the hall, and over to the nursery where she found her precious baby boy wailing and crying louder than she ever imagined he could, his little face almost completely red. Clearly, he was putting all of his effort into wailing and crying as loud as he could.

Ferris liked his sleep. It was one of the things he relished in daily, one of the things that his body thanked him for no matter what. And he was a deep sleeper, he could sleep through nearly anything that happened unless his body was ready to wake up, which it sure wasn't at 1:30 in the morning. All of his years of being able to sleep through practically anything were of no help to the young man as a baby's terribly loud wails and cries began ringing through the house. He jumped just slightly at the sudden loud noise filling their home, lifting his head groggily with a groan as he squinted his eyes open to see Vianna getting out of bed and removing herself from his warm embrace. "Wha'?" he grumbled softly, sleepily, letting out a yawn as his eyes tried to get him to fall back into the darkness of slumber. But there was just no sleeping with that noise, that horrible noise that his sleepy mind hadn't yet figured out the source of. Finally, after a couple long minutes of pure wails, the young man was forced to sit up and wipe his eyes, glancing around the room in a daze before finally recognizing that this was Gabe's doing. Letting out another yawn, Ferris slowly got up from the bed and followed after the direction Vianna had left a minute ago, making it to the nursery with brown eyes half open, obviously not ready to be awake. "What's wrong?" he asked through yet another yawn as he slumped against the doorframe. "Is he alright?"

Vianna was a little surprised to find Ferris standing there in the doorway, the drowsiness still very clear on her lightly tanned features as she carried a wailing baby in her arms. "Aw Professor, you can go back to bed," she said, giving him a small smile. "I just checked his diaper and he's fine, I think he's just hungry," she explained, walking over to the young man and pecking his lips gently. "Now, you go to bed and I'll feed Gabe. We'll take turns - if it's feeding time, I'll get up; if what he needs is a diaper change, then you do it," she offered with a soft chuckle, a little amused with herself for the way she'd just pretty much made up a schedule on how they'd handle this in only a few seconds. After giving the young man one last smile, Vianna walked away toward the rocking chair, placing a kiss on the wailing newborn in her arms before... well, feeding him.

Ferris gave a soft, sleepy smile as Vianna assured him that he could go back to bed, that Gabe didn't need a diaper change but she assumed that he was just hungry. But the young man, despite his drowsiness, didn't really like the idea of leaving her to deal with a wailing baby and wasn't assured until she decided that they'd take turns to take on the various responsibilities that came with Gabe's needs. He gave a faint smile as this schedule she'd just made up on the spot before returning the peck kiss she placed on his lips lovingly, brown eyes still half open as he watched her head over to the rocking chair. "That sounds good," he admitted softly, letting out a brief chuckle at the division of responsibilities before following her over to the chair just to place a kiss on her forehead. "Hurry back," he requested softly with a weak smile before heading back towards the bedroom. But he wasn't used to having to share his Vianna, though he obviously understood that Gabe needed the attention. They'd just never had to deal with this sort of thing before and it rather surprised him almost to find himself waking up, as though he'd forgotten what came with having a newborn. And so he gratefully returned to his bed, nearly immediately falling back asleep peacefully now that the house was quiet once more. Little did he know that he too would have to be getting up before the night was through.

Vianna yawned sleepily as little Gabe, who was completely quiet now, ate. She was still completely drowsy, tired, and just sitting here in this rocking chair in the calm and tranquility of Gabe's nursery wasn't necessarily helping the girl become more alert. She knew, though, that she couldn't fall asleep with a baby in her arms, so she did her best to remain as awake and alert as she could despite her drowsiness, sitting quietly with the tiny baby all wrapped up in his green blankie for the next fifteen minutes. Once Vianna saw the little one had drifted back to sleep, she couldn't help but smile. He was so much cuter when he was just peacefully asleep, being completely calm and unintentionally adorable in her arms. The girl leaned in toward him and placed the most loving of kisses on his perfectly round little cheek before getting up and very gently and carefully setting the baby back into his crib, in the middle of the argyle sweater his father had left for him. "Buona Notte, Gabe," she whispered softly to the sleeping baby before placing another kiss on his forehead. She took a moment to simply admire the sight of him before turning off the lights and gently closing the nursery's door, though only about halfway, as she didn't feel it was exactly wise to leave it completely closed. The girl then quietly made her way down the hall and back to her room, climbing into bed beside her husband and letting out a long sigh of relief, happy to finally be back in her own warm bed, cuddled up beneath the sheets. "Good night, Professor," she said softly to the young man who had already fallen asleep, pecking his cheek gently before closing her own blue eyes and falling back asleep.

Ferris, who had been asleep for a good fifteen minutes, was only slightly aware of someone else climbing into the bed beside him, only giving a soft, "Mmm..." and a sigh as Vianna kissed his cheek and wished him goodnight. But his body wouldn't let him up, not now, not when it was so craving the slumber it needed. Nothing could get him up.

Until 4:07 in the morning, that is; when Gabe's horrible wails began to fill the household once more as the baby began to realize that his diaper had filled miraculously within the last three hours or so. Groaning, the young man drowsily sat up at the sound of such an incessant noise, staring around him with furrowed brows as he attempted to gather his surroundings and what exactly was happening. Upon figuring out that Gabe was the cause of all of the noise, the young man gave a long sigh before reluctantly getting out of the bed, his body weighing him down with each step. "I'll go check on him," he grumbled softly as he wiped his eyes and started towards the nursery.

After a moment of evaluation, Ferris quickly deducted that it was Gabe's diaper that ws truly the cause for the noise. "Gabe..." the young man muttered softly in reluctance, obviously not really wanting to change the diaper at this time in the morning, though he couldn't help but smile slightly at the sight of his little baby boy. "Shhh..." he muttered softly as he held him, bouncing him in his arms for a moment before setting him gently on the changing table and beginning his duties.

OOC:.... *snicker* Duties. Get it?
Cuz it's.....hehehe *immature*

ooc: ROTFL. Did you just make a play on the word 'duty', Ruthless? 'Cause if that's what you meant, then I think I got it. Bahah poor Ferris.

Vianna's brows furrowed in her sleep as a loud, wailing noise began to echo all throughout the house, disrupting the girl from her peaceful slumber - again. She sighed, her crystal blue eyes reluctantly opening and squinting in the darkness. It took her a few moments to realize what was going on, to realize that this was their little Gabe that was causing so much noise and was so rudely and abruptly waking them up. But pure relief washed over the girl was Ferris sat up and announced he was going to go check on the baby, her blue eyes immediately closing once again, grateful she could go back asleep. Though she hoped greatly Gabe wasn't hungry as that would mean she'd have to get up anyway.

But Vianna didn't have the mind to think about that too long as only a few seconds later, she was very deep asleep once more, cuddled up comfortable in the warm sheets and covers of the soft bed, her body more grateful than ever that it got to stay there, that it didn't have to move.

OOC: Maybeee.... .......
Yeah, I totally did!

Ferris cleaned up their baby boy and dressed him in a brand new diaper before redoing his little blue onesie and walking him back over to his crib. Still completely and totally drowsy, the young man didn't really have much of a desire to admire the little guy at the moment, but found himself unable to not think Gabe was completely adorable. It was something that he couldn't resist, no matter how tired he was, and took a moment to admire the sight of those equally sleepy blue eyes staring back at him. It would appear that a lot of this crying had worn their son out for the night, and he immediately cuddled up to the argyle sweater as his father set him gently back into his crib. The young man placed a warm kiss to his forehead, giving a faint smile at the sight of the dozing-off baby, before heading out of the room to his own bed.

Oh his bed! How wonderful it looked, it must've been glowing in the limited light in their bedroom to the poor man who'd never seen anything look so perfect... But his body wanted nothing more than to get to bed, to sleep and acquire the rest that it needed for the coming day. He'd never been woken up like this before in one night, never had to actually get up twice on two separate occasions to deal with a dirty diaper or a wailing baby. But he didn't have any desire to think on this as he climbed back into the comfortable sheets and made his way over to Vianna's side on instinct. "Mmmm...." he murmured in a sigh as he often did when he had no other words but was simply entirely content, his arms slipping around her and pulling her waist into his chest on instinct. "Dirty...diaper..." was the last thing he said (in explanation of what Gabe needed to the girl who was probably already asleep) before planting a drowsy kiss to her cheek and drifting off to sleep.

OOC: I've gotta get off for now Deeee Debra Charlayyy Derupersss! See you tomorrow!

ooc: Bahaha word-playing Ruthless.
Awwww alright then Ruthersss! I'll see you tomorrow, hopefully!!
Errr, actually, I'm not sure if I'll be able to catch you tomorrow. I'm going to a concert and I'm not sure at what time it might be ending... By the time I get back you might have left already... :/ But yeah, just letting you know in case you come on and find I'm not on.

Vianna was only very vaguely aware of Ferris's return, of his arms slipping around her waist, of his soft voice muttering something and his lips meeting her skin. Her senses seemed a little foggy, obviously affected by her drowsiness, and she continued on with her peaceful slumber all through the night.
And then morning time arrived.
At around 7:12, Gabe was up and wailing once again, just as he'd been doing earlier before the sun had even come up. Vianna groaned softly in her sleep, her brows furrowing at this most unpleasant sound, one that she had come to fear. But every time she heard it, she knew... sleep time was over, it was time to get up and tend to the little one.
With a sigh, Vianna's crystal blue eyes fluttered open, squinting at the dim sunlight filling the room. It seemed to be an unusually sunny morning in Fervi's little town, but Vianna had no mind and no interest and no desire to admire this the way she normally would have. She was too tired, too sleepy, and wanted nothing more than to remain cuddled up in the sheets, beside her husband. But she knew she couldn't just ignore little Gabe, so the girl sat up on the bed, groggily getting up to her feet and disappearing out the door, then making her way down the hall and over to Gabe's nursery.

OOC: Yeah, I know, I have the sense of humour of an eight year old.
Awwwwwwww! Well, that's alright Dee, have a great time at the concert! I'll be around plently tomorrow night so if it turns out that you're not on tonight then I'll definitely be around tomorrow!

Ferris never really liked the idea of leaving up the responsibility to Vianna, and so had he been awake he would've definitely accompanied her to Gabe's nursery to assist if he could've. Plus, he was always up for seeing his adorable baby boy.
Except for when it was early in the morning. After two other sleep-interruptions.
There was just no way that Ferris was getting up unless Vianna really needed him, wasn't any chance that he'd get up and follow her until she called out his name for a diaper change. If that was necessary, (he decided in his half asleep state, the state that came along when Gabe's wails filled the house at seven in the morning), then he'd get himself up and follow her. But not until then, if that was the case. He was just too tired; his body (which preferred a good nine to ten hours of sleep) was running off of seven rather uncomfortable hours in which he'd gotten up twice to address Gabe's needs. His body wasn't allowing him to wake up unless it was absolutely necessary, and so he continued dozing due to pure need of rest, suddenly hating the bright sunlight as he slipped further beneath the covers of their warm bed.

ooc: Bahaha.

"Hey, Gabie," the young mother greeted little Gabe drowsily, a small sleepy smile on her rosy lips. "You're up early... again," she commented with a brief chuckle before wrapping her hands around the sides of the little one and picking him up from his crib. She placed a kiss on his bright red little forehead and checked his diaper, only to find nothing there. She assumed he must've been hungry then, and so she made her way over to the rocking chair that stood beside the window from which the bright morning light shined. She started feeding the little baby then, a bit of surprise on her features. Gabe sure had an appetite. But it was normal for newborns to eat plenty, as they needed the nutrition to grow and develop healthily.

Vianna sighed softly to herself, holding the baby gently in her arms as he ate, and by the time he was done and had fallen back asleep, around twenty minutes later, the girl set him back in his little crib, leaning over the railing to place a sweet kiss on his cheek before turning and heading back out of the nursery. She wanted nothing more than to be in bed right now, and though the normal Vianna would usually be waking up at around eight anyway, this new mother Vianna would definitely not be waking up that early. She was tired, exhausted, and wanted nothing more than to sleep the rest of the morning away until noon, if possible. Which she knew wouldn't be. But it didn't hurt to dream.

Exhausted, she plopped right back onto the bed, pulling the covers high enough to reach her shoulders, and falling back asleep almost immediately.
She hadn't felt this drowsy and exhausted since she'd delivered the little baby only a couple days ago, and her body was craving rest and tranquility more than ever before.

Ferris had no desire to see the light of day for at least a good six more hours which obviously would've been a good deal more rest than he usually received each night. But that night? All he wanted was sleep and it continually kept getting interrupted by the sweet little baby who could wail like nothing else he'd heard in his life. And just as his body was beginning to believe that it could sleep happily long term (about two hours after Vianna returned to bed and his arms slipped around her as they always did) Gabe's horribly loud wails began to fill their little house once more, bouncing off of every wall and seeming to amplify to the young man whose ears wanted to hear anything but Gabe's cries. Ferris gave a long groan to the air, brown eyes still closed as it registered to him that he needed to go tend to the baby, that it was most likely his turn. "GABE!" he groaned loudly to the house in general, as though the baby was interrupting his parents' sleep schedules on purpose.

It took twenty minutes of sleepy diaper-changing and baby-comforting for Ferris to return to bed around 9:36, his eyelids begging to close once more. But he'd never had to do this before! Dealing with something like this had never come into his life and he hadn't felt this tired in a long time. Was the baby gonna be like this every night?! He didn't have much room for thought on this as he climbed back into the bed he'd so reluctantly left twenty minutes before, immediately falling into the covers and blindly grabbing Vianna's waist as his brown eyes closed in needed rest.

Poor Fervi were being blindingly hopeful if they thought they would honestly and finally get the rest they deserved now. Just a little over an hour after Ferris had tended to the baby, he was at it again, wailing louder than anything they had ever heard before, his cries incessant, seeming to grow louder and louder with each passing second.

Vianna's brows furrowed in her sleep, and it didn't take her brain too long to realize what was going on - it was the same thing that had been waking her up all through the whole night - Gabe was crying. The girl sighed softly and turned on the bed, sleepy blue eyes opening enough for her to see the clock on the bedside table, which read 10:54. Vianna sighed once again. That's it, this time she was up for good. Waking up, taking care of the baby, and going back to sleep was obviously not going to work when Gabe was going to keep crying every two hours. Either way, it was nearing noon and their pets were probably wondering why their breakfast hadn't even been served yet.

Slowed down by her sleepiness, Vianna pulled the covers off and sat up on the bed. She took a moment to yawn sleepily before heading to the door and walking out the room, over to the room just at the opposite end of the hall, from which the incessant wailing emerged. Once inside, Vianna made her way to the crib and picked up little Gabe with another sleepy yawn. "You just hate the idea of mummy and daddy getting their sleep, don't you, Gabe?" she accused playfully, as if the baby was crying on purpose, just to keep them from getting their rest. She placed a loving kiss on his cheek before checking on him. But after a few minutes, Vianna was surprised to find that Gabe's diaper was clean and he wasn't eating, so clearly a dirty diaper or hunger were not the problem. If not, then... what was?
The girl gave the little one his pacifier, but he refused to take it, leaving his young mother completely clueless as to what might be wrong with him. Since she couldn't really find anything that could be bothering little Gabe, Vianna resituated the baby in her arms, placing him so that he was facing her and his little head could rest on her shoulder, her hand resting on his back as she gently bounced the baby in her arms just very slightly while pacing around the room. It took a few minutes, but eventually Gabe's cries died out. He hadn't fallen asleep as he had the other times, though, which probably meant the little one was up for good this time (or at least he would be for a number of hours before taking a nap).

"Vuoi accompagnare mamma a fare pranzo, Gabe?" Vianna asked the little one, turning her head so she could face the little one who was resting his own head on her shoulder, matching crystal blue eyes meeting her own. Vianna could almost feel her heart melt right then and there. He was so... adorable! The most precious little thing she had ever set eyes on. Unable to hold the urge, she leaned in slightly and placed the most loving of kisses on his little cheek. "C'mon, let's go feed our furry friends and make some lunch before you wake daddy again," said the girl with a soft chuckle, walking back out of the nursery and very, very carefully making her way downstairs and over to the kitchen.
