Bray and Amber with the Baby in Their Room
What was amazing to Bray wasn't the fact that Amber instead of he had handled the Ryan situation, and quite well, but that she would feel the need to apologize to him. He instantly wrapped his arm around her as dinner was called by Luke and pulled her in to press a kiss to her temple. "It's ok," he told her simply, he understood, she had her station in the Mall now, he could come to terms with that rather easily. Besides, it had been Bray, way back in the beginning, who had always believed she should lead the Mall Rats. It was a natural thing for her, and one glance at Hawk reminded him, once again, just how much of a leader she could be.
The next amazing thing happened almost instantaneously, first little Bray began to cry, loud shrill cries, and then Brady, in turn, buried her face into her Mother's neck and sobbed. "Oh dear," Bray reacted, letting go of Amber and shifting his son so that he could lay against his chest a bit, "Shh shh, Amber," he looked to her with a bit of worry. Why was it that he was so nervous about caring for his son? He'd been just fine with Brady as a baby, but then, back then, the girls had helped a lot when she'd gotten into a state.
Looking to Trudy and Hawk, he shrugged, "Maybe it's time for bed," he told them simply, wondering if you could put a baby to bed without feeding it. "Too much excitement, perhaps we should feed him in our room?" Bray nodded as Amber nodded her own agreement and they went upstairs with the crowd, heading into the kitchen and getting a bottle of homemade baby food for him, as well as a spoon. He didn't stop crying, though it was more subdued as they walked towards their room, whining and fussing against Bray, which of course made him feel worse. He couldn't calm him, or get him to quiet, there was something wrong and he felt so helpless.
Amber took control for a bit and got a bit of food into him before having Bray change him and put him in his sleep clothes. Picking out a gray onesie, Bray got it on his quickly quieting son before slipping the gray pants with attached green booties on for extra warmth.
Picking him up from the changing table, Bray craddled him in his arms, waiting for him to settle down a bit. He wanted to take him to his cot in the kids room, despite Ambers protests that they could just let him sleep here tonight, but he wanted him to get lots of cuddles and reassurances before they ditched him. "No Amber, besides, tonight is our night. I love our son, but I want to be with you, alone," he tilted his head just slightly, giving her an implication that if his chances were shot now because of the stress of the day he'd understand. He turned his gaze away from her and back down to their son, "He's beautiful," he told her for the billionth time in the last week.
OOC: Bray and Amber are currently both being temped, so please do excuse the shittiness and the controlling of Amber on Bray's part in this post. Thank you. ♥
EDIT: Amber is back, but Bray is still being temped, thanks to prewritten content from the Buttons. Thanks. ♥
