Hallie set Clara down in the crib she had put in the guest room. She smiled down at the little infant. "Welcome home, bunny!"

*Clara cooed and reached for her mother. She wasn't sure about this place, and wasn't about to be put down.*

She laughed. "You're a sweetie, aren't you?"

Sweetie? Not if you don't pick me up!
*She wrinkled her face up into a frown and began to whimper, kicking her legs*

Hallie bit the inside of her lip. "What's wrong, Clara?" She picked the baby up.

*She wailed and squirmed, now not knowing what she wanted. She was tired, but there were so many distracting things to see and look at and chew on!*

Hallie checked her diaper—it was clean. "Are you hungry?" she asked, grabbing a bottle and holding it over the baby's wailing mouth.

*She scrunched her face into a rather unattractive red frown and wailed, pushing the bottle away.*

She rolled her eyes and groaned. "For the love of God, what the hell do you want?" she shouted. Unfortunately, this only upset the baby more.
Should've gotten an abortion while I still had the chance, she thought.

((Ouch. That's cold, darling. Real cold.))
*Clara would not stand for this. She let out an ear piercing scream that rivaled Aaron in the car seat and refused to shut up.*

((I don't mean it! ;D))
Hallie clenched her teeth at the noise. There was only one person she knew of who could help. She put the baby down and picked up the phone. "Renn? It's Hallie. I need you over here right now—this baby makes Aaron look quiet. Thank you! See you in a sec!" She hung up the phone and waited for her friend to arrive.

*Renn rolled her eyes as she tried Hallie's door finding it locked. She knocked and ran a hand through her hair. This is what happens when people she knows have babies. This is four people so far. Okay, well, she didn't actually know Shira and her mom's not on the 'verse, but still. For someone who was never going to have kids, she was sure getting a lot of practice. *

((Like Suethor, like Stu!))
Hallie opened the door, her screaming daughter in her other arm. "Oh, God, thank you so much. I swear I'll figure this out eventually, so don't worry about being called over after a little bit."

*Renn laughed and shook her head, taking the baby from her friend and hugging her close.*
"Don't worry about it. I'll try to get her calmed down. She's most likely just tired.*

"Okay," she said. "So...how do you calm a tired baby? Sing to it or something?"
