Words of Wisdom
Anya walked around the penthouse with a fussing baby in her arms. Of course Nick would be an absolute angel until Mom and Dad walked out the door and then it was non-stop fussing. She took babysitting duties so Mom and Dad could go out to dinner for Dad’s birthday. The kids, minus Nick, had lunch with him and gave him his presents then. Tonight was Mom’s turn with him and the kids had all volunteered to babysit. The old folks needed a night out without any of the kids, including the one who was only five days old.
“I know Mom and Dad aren’t here, but you’ll just have to deal with me and your other siblings,” she said softly to the fussing baby. “How about some music while we walk? Music may help soothe and calm you. Mom said it used to work for us.” Anya made her way over to grab the remote. She turned on some Sinatra at a low volume and resumed walking. “Hopefully you’re a Sinatra fan,” she said to the infant. “If not, we’ll find something you do like as long as it isn’t Justin Bieber.”
Anya kept moving and the fussing slowly abated and she sighed with relief. “Seems like you are a Sinatra fan,” she said and looked down at the infant. He was adorable, but of course he would be. He had good genes. They all did. “You’ll fit right in with this family,” she told him. “Mom said she used to play Sinatra to calm me and Misha down when we were fussing. Looks like Ol’ Blue Eyes has the voice Romanov babies like.”
Anya slowly made her way through the living room and was heading toward the kitchen. “If you haven’t realized it, you’ve been born into a pretty crazy family. Some may say we’re all stark raving mad, pun intended.” She chuckled. “We /are/ crazy, but we all love each other and we’ll always be there for each other. That is the most important thing to remember. Sure there will be times when we don’t particularly like each other, but in the end we’re still family and family /always/ sticks together.”
She dropped a kiss on the tiny little forehead.
