An elbow in his ribs, strong enough to wake him up, but not enough to hurt him...
« Shiyuan…Lixu’s crying again.. »
« hm? »
« Shiyuan..it’s your turn… »
« haaa? Ah, okay okay, I’m going, I’m going… »
Shiyuan got out of the bed, rubbing the sleep out of his eyes as he went to his little boy’s room, right next to theirs. They made it an habit of placing their baby one into the nearest room and the others in the farthest, so they could hear the baby cry, without the brothers being awaken and causing a big brawl. Lixu was seated in his crib, crying loudly, high baby voice ringing through his half-awake Papa’s ears, waking him up for good.
“What is it, Birdie? Nightmares again? Papa’s here… its over... shush... stop crying...”
Shiyuan took the little baby in his arms, cradling him softly against his chest. He was so delicate compared to his two older brothers… Shiyuan was often afraid to hurt him by accident, with those big muscles of his... but Geng insisted Lixu needed Shiyuan’s love a lot more then the two others, because he had been created with Geng’s genes mostly.
Being in the comfort of his father’s arms, Lixu stopped crying, still hiccupping softly. Even though, he seemed content with being in his father’s arms, whom he wasn’t used to see often because of busy working schedules. Shiyuan smiled, rubbing the little back in a soothing manner, before sitting on a small cover placed in a corner of the room, where Geng had taken the habit of playing with the child there, when the two of them were alone. Shiyuan wanted to change his little one’s mind a little bit before putting him to sleep again… they didn’t want the nightmare to start over, didn’t they? So the best way was to do things
But as Lixu was seated on his cover, Shiyuan getting a little bit far from him in order to catch a toy, the little boy pushed himself on his feet, standing tall…
…and he walked to his Papa.
Shiyuan watched it happen with surprise. Being busy with a movie, he didn’t even got to know that their boy was now standing on his feet. Geng should have told him in bed while he was too tired from filming that he couldn’t remember…
One thing he was sure of: the boy was walking for the first time. Smiling, proud to be the one to see that, Shiyuan held his third son in his arms, softly, singing to him until the little one fell peacefully asleep against his torso
Kissing his son’s forehead, Shiyuan placed him in the crib, and as he went back in his bed, cradling his wife, promised himself to tell Geng in the morning. For the night, he could have the joy of knowing he was the only one to share with Lixu that secret… the small boy was walking, now.
….but was he to become a nightbird, starting to walk at midnight?
