A yawn stretched across the living room as Caine slid the glass door open and let himself in. It was morning, and he was on about an hour of sleep. Little sleep had come since he had been back at the apartment with Dallas. But it had nothing to do with her, and everything to do with Jayce's death. Crossing the living room lazily, he peeked down the hall before going to the kitchen to grab a bottle of water. After half of it was gone, Caine made his way back to the bedroom.
His eyes wondered over Dallas' sleeping body, and a smile crossed his lips for a split second. "At least I got lucky once," He whispered, tip-toeing over to the bed and slipping in beside her. His fingertips brushed the hair from her face, and he bent down kissing her forehead.

Dallas was sound asleep with their little frog hugged to her chest. He'd gotten sick, and Dallas had been up half the night nursing his fever. When he started crying, she gently hugged him closer, her wings tucked close to her back. "Shh.." She breathed, climbing carefully from the bed with him to carry him into the living room and walk him sleepily back and forth across the floor. She finally walked to the fridge to give him his bottle, but he only pushed it away.
"I'm sorry, baby.. I know your gums hurt.." She said quietly, fishing around the freezer for for his teething ring before she handed it to him. It silenced him as he chewed on it, looking up at her.

Caine squeaked out another yawn, and grabbed his water from the counter. "I'm sorry I've been no help.." He mumbled, looking over at Dallas. Taking a sip, he screwed the lid back on. Making his way over to Dallas, he swiped his finger tip through Beau's little curls of brown hair. He leaned in, connecting his lips with Dallas for a quick kiss. "I'll make it up to you, I promise."

"It's okay. He's just teething. And I know you miss your brother." She said, kissing him softly. She patted Beau's back gently, hugging the baby close as he gnawed on the teething ring. He looked up at one of them, then the other.
"You're growing up too fast, mister." She told him, reaching over to poke his nose and he smiled a toothless smile. She gently pulled the teething ring away to see if he had any teeth coming through. "I'm gonna be biting stuff soon, daddy." She said, pointing to the tooth he was getting.

Caine managed a smile, though it didn't make him feel any better. His eyes wondered down to Beau, looking the infant over. He was getting so big, and his thick hair was getting thicker. "I wonder if he's human or not. I mean, there is a chance he's not.. right?" Caine asked before taking Dallas by the hand and leading her over to the couch. She looked as if she had barely slept, but he still wasn't able to take his eyes away. She looked beautiful no matter what. Pulling her down into his lap, he held onto her like he hadn't seen in her months. "I just wish you would have been with me.. maybe then I wouldn't have crumbled to the floor like a sissy."

Dallas shrugged. "Who knows? From the looks of things, he looks like he's human, though. He's not biting or shifting or glowing or anything." She gently rubbed the baby's stomach, smiling down at him. She let him guide her to the couch, sitting down gently in his lap. She curled up against him, holding Beau close. "I don't blame you, Caine.. If anything happened to my brother, I'd be a complete mess." She said quietly, looking up at him. She reached up, gently brushing his hair from his forehead. "Everything happens for a reason. He was needed somewhere."

"I should be taking care of my princess and our frog." His gaze turned upward, connecting with hers. A soft smile played across his lips, he couldn't help the warm feeling the bubbled up inside him each time he looked into her eyes. "I don't know what I would do without you.. I've been walking around like a zombie while you've been with Beau." Caine reached over, taking her hand in his before kissing the back of hers and intertwining their fingers. "You look so beautiful, Dallas. And I look like a mess."

She smiled at him, slipping her fingers gently between his. "I think you're always handsome." She said with a smile, leaning over to kiss him gently before she laid her head on his shoulder, helping Beau to sit up in her lap. He giggled at something, and fell back onto her. She chuckled, helping him to sit up again. "Someone's got the giggles this morning." She said with a smile, gently rubbing the baby's back. He snorted, then started to chew intently on his rubber ring again.

He met the kiss gently, sighing softly as she pulled away. There was something about Dallas that made his insides feel all warm, and he felt guilty for it. He didn't think he should be happy with Jayce gone, but he didn't want to be miserable either. Caine's fingers twisted around the ends of her hair, his eyes falling to Beau as he began to giggle. Reaching with his other hand, he traced his index finger over the little baby's foot lightly, smiling to himself.
