Where is the Baby?

@"Fae"

Sai was happy to have his new daughter home, but he was concerned about her. She was having trouble adjusting to her new place. He had a feeling it was just what came with a new environment; he understood that awkward feeling entirely. He had to move from swimming around an ocean town to walking on two feet in a city. It was beyond jarring. So he decided to give it time and just let her feel easy at home. He figured spending as much time as possible with her would also help too.

Normally he would be waking up in the morning and make breakfast, but he didn't wake up at the crack of dawn on weekends. He also figured that she would want to sleep in a bit later; kids slept in on weekends, right? So the siren was comfortably snoozing away on his water bed as the Sun barely peaked its head out. He was a balanced sleeper; he wasn't a light sleeper, so it's not like a coin dropping would wake him up. He also wasn't a heavy sleeper that could sleep through the sound of pots and pans being tossed all around.

His eyes groggily opened as he heard noises coming from the kitchen. His black hair was a complete mess. He was in nothing but his boxers and a sleeveless top. He stumbled out of bed to check out the source of the noise. The father moved like a freshly-revived zombie as he went to the kitchen. He scratched his head tiredly and yawned while standing in the doorway. When he stopped yawning, his eyes opened once more for a shock.

The kitchen was an absolute mess! What happened here?! This woke him up a bit more as he tried to figure out what happened. Did someone try to rob him? Were there signs of breaking and entering anywhere around the house? Then a reminder popped into his head: he had a cute four-year-old now! He rushed over to her bedroom to see if she was still asleep. He swung open the door. He expected to see Faeyt cuddled up in her covers still, but he spotted absolutely no one in the room.

This was the perfect time to panic!

Papa Bear instincts woke Sai up entirely as he went tearing through the whole house looking for Faeyt. He checked every room; he went through her room, his bedroom, the bathroom, and even the living room. His last spot was the kitchen. He searched for her in the kitchen but failed to check the cabinet she was currently sleeping in. He was throwing open doors and moving objects around. Failing to find her, he then slipped into a seated position on the ground as he held his head in his hands. How could he have lost her?! Who kidnapped her?! What was he going to do? He was on the verge of tears.

Sai searched the house one more time before he decided to go and grab a phone. He was ready to call until he realized something; he couldn't talk! How in the hell was he going to call anyone?! It was this reason why he stuck to texting. He was just about ready to pull his hair out. Tears were coming from his eyes. How could he have lost his daughter ON THE FIRST WEEKEND?! Jesus, was he just that horrible of a father? Stress levels were approaching maximum as he attempted to figure out what to do...

...only to hear the familiar cries of a little girl.

In a flash, he was in the messy kitchen and noticed the crying girl inside the cabinet. So THAT'S where she went! Sighing and shaking his head, he quickly retrieved her from the cabinet and cuddled her close. His hand stroked her hair in a calming fashion. His ears were practically ringing though; she screamed far too loud. Her banshee cries were formidable, that was for sure. He considered curving the sound so that it wouldn't make him deaf on top of being mute. He signed to the upset child a simple sentence.

"Daddy is here."

He turned the girl to look at him and put his finger to his lips. He then noticed the blood dribbling out of her mouth. Frowning slightly, the guy glanced around for a sound he could use to heal it. The father remembered the stuff spread out around him and grabbed a nearby pot. With this, he began banging on it and created a fun little drum beat. The drum beat emitted healing energy as it healed up Faeyt's wound. He was not happy about her going into the cabinet like that, but he had other worries to attend to.

@"Fae"

Sai was just about to scold her when she began to ramble about a monster. He stopped his drumming. Her wound was healed, but she was afraid of a big bad monster. Poor girl had a nightmare! He had to convince her somehow that the monster was gone. He thought about it as he hugged her tight. Then an idea popped in his head. Clearly if he beat up the monster, then she would feel safe! While he very much doubt there was anything strange lurking around his home, he was going to stage it. With that said, he picked up a pan by its handle and stood up. He lightly pulled her off of his shirt before standing up.

The guy then moved to a cabinet and opened it. He carefully opened each cabinet as if he was expecting something to pop out. If she tried to approach, then he would put a hand up to signal stop. He kept doing this until every nook and cranny was revealed. There was no monster. He made sure she had a good view of each spot. He scratched his head in confusion and then put a hand to his chin as if he was pondering where the beast could be. The pan remained within his grasp.

@"Fae"

He noticed that her eye line was pointed down the hallway. Down the hallway was the open door to his bedroom. The father moved to pick Faeyt up and take her to his room. He didn't remember ever showing her much of this room. Sai would walk down the hallway with the pan still in his hand and Faeyt in his arm. Once they ended up at the doorway, he put her down. His room had a cool vibe to it thanks to all the blue and green. His bed was unmade, revealing the watery-looking surface underneath the sheets. There was a door that let to his bathroom sitting on the side. He had the essential pieces of furniture like a dresser and night stand arranged in the room. Suddenly his phone went off on the night stand. It played the sounds of the beach. Oh yeah, that was his alarm. The man moved over to his bed and then invited Faeyt to come jump around on it by patting it and bouncing once to demonstrate the difference.

@"Fae"

Faeyt didn't react well to her father's water bed. Admittingly, the reason why he got one instead of a regular bed was because he was used to sleeping in the ocean. Normal beds were super weird for him. He reached out to cuddle the startled girl close as she jumped into his lap. His hand ran through her hair comfortingly. The father then lightly tapped her head so that she would look at him. He then asked a question.

"What do you want for breakfast?"

Being that she was new to signing, he also added in a few motions charade-style. His hand rubbed her stomach and then pointed towards the kitchen. He was a fairly good chef, so he could make just about anything for her.
