Once he got used to this whole "world" thing he's had to put up with, Cepheus has been a really easygoing baby. Or at least, his parents were able to handle everything he was figuratively throwing at them

Draco walked in, briefly glancing at the bar. Always seems different every time he stops by now. Different sort of people coming here too. But then he heard his son crying, and hurried to where his wife and child.
"Here now, what's with our Cepheus?" He reached down to touch his son's head, and glanced worriedly at Mia
"Draco," she says with a bit of relief. Always good to see her husband. "I'm not really sure. I've looked him over every way I can think of and he doesn't seem to be ill or needing anything in particular."
Cepheus rubs his little head against his mother.
"I've had him all day and he's been like this for the better part of it. Do you have any ideas?"
She holds Cepheus so that Draco can take him if he wants.
"We'll need to think of something," Mia says, putting her hand on her face. "We both have work tomorrow."
She thinks a bit as she watches Draco and Cepheus.
"I don't think anything spooked him, either. There was the other night when we were both outside but he seemed fine after that. And usually he's fine about that when he's got his toys but they haven't helped, either."

"No idea, luv." He gathered the baby into his arms while his son whined and continued to fuss.
He rubbed his back a few times. Wasn't gas. Not wet, and his head felt normal.

He blinked, and felt around a little.
"Something's different."

Mia stands up and takes a look.
"You don't think he's cutting a tooth, do you?"

"I think it's a strong possibility."

"How bad is it that he's been fussing for most of the day and I didn't notice the cause?" she asks.

"Luv, I didn't know either. And neither of us had any siblings growing up."

Mia looks again at their fussy baby.
"I've read some things to try for this. I remember cold things to chew on are supposed to be effective. Do you have any ideas?"

"My father recently spoke of a trick with firewhiskey on the gums. He said it worked very well with me as a child."

She can't really think of anything else to try.
"I guess it couldn't hurt. It's going to be like if you put your finger in the glass and run it over his gums, right?"
Mia stands up and rubs the baby's back a little.

She might not, though. Cepheus is holding on pretty tight to his daddy.
"I wonder if he missed you since I had him all this time."
Reply
"Maybe you should get it then, he doesn't want to move for now."

"Dada," he briefly blubbers in response.
Mia leans over and kisses Cepheus on the back of his head before briefly leaving to get the firewhiskey.
