Late Night Feedings (Have Futureverse)

[heatourjail]

Juliet has been snoozing on an off for the past six hours. The baby isn't helping her there, being fretful with her colic, and since she can't have Shawn around twenty four seven she's doing the best she can with what she has.

She's contemplating lunch when she hears Carlton on the baby monitor.

Carlton had picked Caroline up, he knew both Juliet and the baby hadn't been sleeping well for a couple of weeks. As soon as he picked her up she grinned and started babbling at him. There was no way he could hide the huge grin on his face anytime he was around her.

"Why're you being so cranky, little girl?"

He sat down in the chair in her room, cradling her against his chest and rocking her slowly. "Shhhhh, you should be napping right now."

Juliet lies still, listening quietly. It's rare that Carlton is this quiet. It's very enjoyable, and so she sits quite still.

Carlton stretches his legs out in front of the rocking chair, cradling the baby in his arms, almost to a textbook degree. He leaned in closer, pressing a soft kiss to her forehead, then very softly, started singing to her, thinking no one would ever be the wiser. It would have been true were there not a baby monitor right beside him.

Oh, sweet Caroline
Good times never seem so good
I've been inclined to believe it never would
And now I, I look at the night, whooo
And it don't seem so lonely
We fill it up with only two, oh
And when I hurt
Hurting runs off my shoulder
How can I hurt when holding you

....Is Carlton singing? She's gawking at the monitor.
