Baby Nick is fussy


When Aaron comes out of the house in neat clothes and ready to leave, Alex does not continue the question that is dancing in his head, there are so many things she wants to know about pregnancy, but she is not sure about herself.


"Alex, what's wrong?" ask Aaron.


"Ah, No. Just like little Nick," Alex said as he took baby Nick from Hayley's lap. "Wow, how old are you now, champ? you're heavy as it turns out," cried Alex.


Hayley smiled to see Alex was so fond of baby Nick, every few days, Alex was always coming to stop by even though for a while, he did not forget to give a lot of gifts for his nephew.


Baby Nick was so happy every time Alex held him, the little baby seemed to be able to feel anyone who sincerely loved him.


"Alright, just play it, champ. Uncle had to go to work before your dad was nagging because he was late" Alex said, kissing his nephew's right and left cheeks. "Quick big, later uncle will take you for a walk," he continued.


Hayley took baby Nick back from Alex's sling.


"Papa's leaving first, Baby. Don't fuss, please. Poor mama," said Aaron, then kissed his son and wife in turn.


Alex and Aaron drive in their cars. There's been a lot going on in Alex's heart since hearing Melanie's wish for a child.


Alex also now quite understand, why Hayley always looks happy and cheerful even though the pregnancy at that time was so difficult, it turns out there is something that makes a mother's feelings can not be lied to, that is the power of his love for the baby in the womb.


To be honest, Alex also really wants the presence of a child, but with Melanie's circumstances that are not possible, Alex does not want to force, instead he feels objected to Melanie's desire to get pregnant, it would have put his life at risk.


Arriving at the office, Alex sat blankly staring at the glass windows that showed tall buildings towering in the capital, from the 15th floor, all the buildings looked beautiful


"Is Melanie okay?" asked Aaron, feeling strange with Alex's attitude that turned quiet.


"Okay" Alex replied briefly.


"What's the matter, Alex? is there anything serious?"


"Let's know, I have to say this is a problem or a hope. But, Melanie wants to get pregnant, Aaron," replied Alex as she leaned her head against the back of the chair, thinking about Melanie's life on the edge of the horn alone had made her head almost broken, what if the problem will increase with the presence of the fetus in the woman's womb.


Aaron breathed a long sigh at his cousin's reply, he didn't know what to say about this.


"What do I do, Aaron?" ask Alex for an opinion.


"Have you seen the doctor I recommended?"


"Oh, yesterday. We will soon fly to Singapore to perform the latest treatment methods."


"If Melanie dared to make a decision, she must have thought about it carefully, she must have had a reason" said Aaron. "It's natural for a woman to be a mother, but with Melanie's condition being that bad, it feels like it's going to be very heavy."


"I know, I can't refuse her wish, but to agree, it's like allowing her to leave as soon as possible."


"God always has a miracle. It is not you yourself who always think, that the age of a person is only God who determines. If the doctor can do the best for Melanie's pregnancy program, maybe you need to try it" said Aaron.


"That's heavy, Aaron. Melanie will suffer more with the pregnancy, I won't be able to see her."


Aaron smiled obliquely, looking at his cousin who was on the verge of overwhelming anxiety. "Don't underestimate women, Alex. You'll never be able to measure how strong they are, there's a lot you don't know about women."


"But Melanie's condition ...."


"Alex, listen to me. Melanie just wants to get pregnant, and if that really happens, isn't it a miracle?" ask Aaron. "He is stronger than he looks, don't consider him weak just because of an illness. You should be proud to be able to marry a woman as strong as Melanie, she still wants to be strong when others like you want to give up."


"Do I have to agree?" ask Alex.


"Follow your heart. See the doctor who handles Melanie, convey all the wishes, ask all the risks to the worst point, and take the good points that Melanie will get when the pregnancy occurs," explained Aaron. "Pregnancy must also have positive energy, because a woman's greatest happiness is to have a child."

This afternoon, Aaron decided to go home early, because Laksmi gave a report that baby Nick had been fussy all day and was very troublesome for his mother, Laksmi, Laksmi even said that Hayley was crying because she was confused about what to do.


Rushing out of the office quickly, Aaron leaves a message to Alex to meet a business associate after lunchtime.


After arriving home, Aaron went straight to Nick's baby room, he saw Hayley who was standing holding his son, he swung his body to the right and left to calm baby Nick.


"Sweetheart," said Aaron. "What's wrong? is he sick?"


Hayley, aware of Aaron's presence, immediately approached and leaned her head against the chest of the husband's field.


"I don't know, he was crying all day" Hayley replied, then she started crying and sobbing.


"Already, already. Don't cry, we'll call the doctor to check on him" Aaron said, calming the wife who was also crying as she pleased.


Sometimes Aaron is also confused, every time the child suddenly cries without cause, fuss, or even a nursing strike, which is more often the frequency of crying is precisely the wife.


It always confused him, Hayley and baby Nick crying simultaneously, making him not understand what to do.


"I'll call the doctor, and change clothes for a while. Wait here," said Aaron, then head to his room.


Not long after, the pediatrician who had just been contacted by Aaron had arrived at their home.


"How, Doc? is baby Nick okay?" ask Hayley worried.


"Very good, Miss. He is very healthy, there is nothing to worry about" the doctor replied after the examination. "Normal body temperature, check the mouth part there is no thrush or things that interfere, the condition of the stomach is also normal. Your baby's fine."


"But she just kept crying, Doc. Just stop while feeding, after being full, he won't sleep, as intermittently cry."


"This is called the wonder week phase. The phase in which the baby experiences a growth spurt, a condition related to changes in the baby's growth and mentality, this occurs when the baby begins to see and observe things that are too fast to understand before."


"Don't worry, this condition is normal and all babies will experience it, maybe this can last a few days. You just need to pay extra attention and understand the cues of desire that the baby conveys. After the growth and development changes experienced by the baby are more complex, fussy periods will last longer, can be several weeks or more," explained the doctor.


Hayley and Aaron looked very calm after getting the doctor's explanation. After completing his duties, the doctor said goodbye to return to the hospital.


"You can rest, Sweetheart. I'll take Nick for a walk" Aaron said.


"Don't take her out, the air's hot."


"I'll take her to Alex's room."


"Well, what do you want to get to Alex's room?" ask Hayley.


"Maybe Nick needs a new atmosphere" Aaron replied as he passed to Alex's room. Ever since Alex moved in, the room has remained empty, Alex carrying only his personal belongings, and he left behind his favorite set of gaming tools.


"You want to play the same game, baby?" haggling Aaron to baby Nick, the little baby seemed to understand and replied with a big smile.


"Alright, papa misses playing. Let's see, is papa still universal first," cried Aaron.
