[The device clicks on to a dark room. A bed is positioned in the centre, where two figures sleep. After a few moments, the peace is interrupted by a high-pitch wail. Many may recognise it as the familiar cry of oh-god-I-am-a-baby-and-I-just-woke-up-alone-what-is-this? The figure nearest the camera rolls over, and is unmistakably the bleary-eyed

Baby!Rose - middle of the night

[ Castiel barely moves at first. It takes Stephen's voice stopping and another shriek from Rose to make him snuffle awake. ]

I'm up-- I'm up. Dad's coming, Rosie, you just...

[ Thwack. That's his toe into the bed. He is unfazed, though, and continues shuffling out through the door. Moments later, the crying quiets down, and Castiel returns with his precious baby in his arms. ]

[If he weren't so fucking tired, Stephen would probably laugh at that. Instead he JUST manages to hoist his head off the pillow to look up as they come in.]

What'd she want this time?

[rehymenator]

[ His jaw stretches out, the huff of air making him wonder why he's suddenly sleeping at night. Rose gurgles a little, demanding his attention and -- oh right, he's been asked a question. ]

Well, she wanted her daddies, of course. Didn't you, Rose?

[ Climbing back in the bed, he starts to swaddle her in the blankets between them. Stephen should be proud! Castiel has progressed past the clingy never-let-her-go stage! ]

She's never going to learn to self-soothe if you keep letting her sleep in here. It was in the book. With the picture things.

[He's too tired to argue properly and lets Rose grab hold of one of his fingers as he settles back down to sleep.]

[rehymenator]

Well the book is cruel. She's much too precious to just let wail like that.

[ If he sounds a little personally distressed, well, he is. ]

You're not the one who needs actual sleep.
