Don't wait up, Random had said. So he didn't because he's determined that this baby won't interfere with the way he normally lives, as much as that's possible obviously. So he'd gone to bed when he normally does.
Sleeping had been a bit more difficult. Haven's completely silent, completely dark outside when the house lights are switched off. But he still kept thinking that he heard Random coming back, carrying something that's bound to be screaming...every time it's just his imagination. He must have dozed off sometime though, because suddenly it's morning - and then he's worried because the house is silent and the other side of the bed is empty and there's no sign of his lover.
He gets up to investigate and checks the nursery first. Somehow he's not surprised to see that Random did come home but hasn't been able to leave the baby. He'd think it was sweet, if he was prone to such whimsy.
