*is holding her daughter, trying to console her*

*murmurs to her* What's wrong, darling? You've had your diapers changed, you're fed... still you're in such a bad mood...

*sighs*
*walks the room with her, softly cooing*
*doesn't seem to work*

*wails*

*is tired*

*can't sleep*

*hears mom's voice, but still can't sleep*

[crewman_kelly]

*looks at her*

You can't be teething yet, can you?

*continues walking the quarters with her, softly cooing*

*hears the doorbell*
That's gotta be your godfather, Mina...
*walks over to the door, opening it one-handedly*

[mrostov]

*grins at Kelly as he sees her*

You got your hands full, I see.

[crewman_kelly]

Yeah... she's in a pissed off mood. Come on in.

[jemina_kelly]

*wails*

[mrostov]

*comes into her quarters as she steps aside*
*closes door*

Pissed off moood indeed. *smiles softly*

[crewman_kelly]

You're still want to do this?

[mrostov]

Yeah.

C'mon, hand her over... let's see what I can do.

[crewman_kelly]

All right.

*gives him her baby*
*watches how _rostov_ holds Mina*
*smiles as she sees he does it just right*

[mrostov]

*softly talks to Mina*

Hello, baby... I'm your godfather. Do you think we can have a nice afternoon together while your mom goes to work?

[jemina_kelly]

*hears a new voice*
*stops wailing*

*sniffles*
*looks at the new face*
*is curious*

[crewman_kelly]

*grins*

I think Mina approves.

Good.

*looks at her chronometer*
I'm already late anyway...

*caresses her baby's cheek with a finger*
You two have fun together.

*looks at Michael*
I'll try to be punctual. See ya.

[mrostov]

Okay.

*smiles at her then at Mina*
*talks softly to the baby*
Say bye-bye to your mom, little one... she's going to work.

[jemina_kelly]

*looks at the one with the new voice*
*finds the sounds he makes interesting*

[crewman_kelly]

*smiles*

*leaves*

[mrostov]

*sits down in the rocking chair Kelly has in her quarters*
*continues talking to the baby*

*sings her a few russian song he learned from his grandmother, finally uses the one that always works, something about a baby needing to sleep, its father who's a shepherd and the baby's mother*

*smiles as the baby's eyelids get heavy after a while*
*carefully puts her into her bed*
*watches Mina fall asleep*
