For [livejournal.com profile] arabia764, so that she wont brood too much, I hope *hugs* And also to those on my flist who for some reasons or other, have been feeling down.

Title : Taking Turns

Pairing : OB/EW

Rating : Slash, R

Disclaimer : Fiction ( duh )

Summary : Orli's sister Sam went on vacation to Vegas and the boys agreed ( at least Elijah did, Orli just went along ) to take care of her baby for the weekend. No sex. Fluffy.

Unbeta'ed, because I don't want to distract [livejournal.com profile] absolutefiction from her drabbles/ficlets *grins*

My other fics are here.






WAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH

Elijah groaned inwardly. He lifted his head reluctantly from Orlando's warm chest. The luminous dials on their bedside clock showed that it was 4 o'clock. In the morning.

He sighed. Only an hour had passed since the baby had last cried for her milk. And this was the fourth time baby Kaitlin had waken him up that night

Good God, she couldn't be hungry again!

Elijah pulled the blankets up over his head and tried to ignore the wailing from the next room while Orli continued to sleep peacefully.

Trust him to sleep through all these," he grumbled silenty, praying that the baby would stop crying. No such luck.

"Orli, wake up," Elijah shook Orli's shoulders when Kaitlin's crying went up to Category 5 as Orli liked to call it.

"Nngghh, what?" Orli asked with his eyes still closed, his voice laden with sleep. One arm went around Elijah's shoulders, pulling Elijah close against him.

"Come on, wake up," Elijah said again. He lifted Orli's arm away, not without some regret. "The baby's up and it's your turn now."

"Huh? Wasn't it my turn before?" Orli mumbled.

"Nope. I had been up three times already and she is your niece."

"And whose idea was it to take care of her while Sam and Jon are having fun in Vegas, like, right now?"

"Aww shut up," Elijah said, pushing Orli off the bed. "And put something on. Kaitlin shouldn't be seeing you all naked like that."

Elijah grinned as Orli yawned hugely, searching for his boxers with his eyes still half-closed. Elijah was quite wide-awake now and he could have gone to see to the baby but he'd be darned to be the mummy around here, even if it was only for the weekend. His grin turned into a leer when Orli went down on his hand and knees, giving Elijah an eyeful of his naked butts while he groped about in the semi-darkness for his boxers.

"Don't be long," Elijah's voice was husky with sudden desire, seeing Orli on the floor just like that.

"Yeah, yeah," Orli mumbled, putting on Elijah's boxers.


*******


Elijah glanced at the clock again. Almost an hour had passed and still Orli had not returned to their bed. The baby had ceased crying a long time ago.

Feeling rather put out, Elijah got up, pulling the blankets up around his middle. He padded to the room next door and cursed under his breath when he stumbled against something.

Kaitlin's Barney.

His annoyance disappeared almost at once though, when he looked up and saw Orli sitting on the armchair by the window. There was a bottle of unfinished milk on the table in front of the chair. Orli was fast asleep with the baby snug in his arms. Kaitlin was cooing softly, with her liquid-chocolate-brown eyes wide opened, Orli's eyes, Elijah thought. Her chubby fingers were rubbing at the stubble on Orli's chin.

Kaitlin looked up at Elijah. She stared at him as if asking Elijah to be quiet and let her Uncle Orli sleep.

And Elijah simply melted, there was no other word for it, at the sight of Orli and the baby, bathed in the moonlight coming in from the window, giving them both a surreal-like appearance. He tiptoed softly towards them and squeezed in beside Orli, putting an arm around both of them. He closed his eyes and soon fell asleep to the warm sleep-smell of Orli and Johnson's baby powder.

Oh, sweetie, this is just lovely. So warm and loving and tender. Funny, with Elijah pushing Orli out of bed to take care of the baby, and then just so sweet when he found the two of them asleep in the chair and snuggled in beside them. What a cosy picture that makes.

Thank you darling Julia for reading this. I love seeing Elijah with babies. There're quite a number of pics of him with babies and little kids but none of Orli ( that I know of ) so I have to make up my own image!

awww, that was too sweet and too adorable! I love the image that Elijah had walked in to, with Orli falling asleep with the baby girl. These two would look wonderful with a baby.

Thank you sweetheart, this was really heart warming.

Awww... that's absolutely adorable. Dear Elijah, wide awake at the sound of Kaitlin's crying, Orlando oblivious beside him... Well done for making Orlando get up and take his turn!

Lovely at the end, with the two of them fast asleep.

Domestic bliss!

Well, to tell the truth I was a bit hesitant to post this at first because it reminds me of your own adorable DomLijah, the one where they have the baby *bites nail nervously*

But then Arabia said that she wanted to hear about my sleepless nights with the baby and since my own sleepless nights are so boring and definitely unsexy ( the hubby wouldn't wake up even if I were to plonk the screaming baby right on top of him ), I wrote this :-D

I'm so glad you did post it. I didn't corner the market on baby fic when I wrote my domlijah and wouldn't expect anyone to hold back on that account, really. This is delightful and I'm so glad you shared.

I remember all too clearly how it was when my two were babies. With my daughter, I used to have to wake up about five times a night to feed her - she was such a hungry baby. Very contented, but with a short sleep span! My son was more settled. I fed them both myself - I understand bottle-fed babies sleep for longer periods generally. But boy, I remember the tiredness and I also remember waking up with a start on many occasions, thinking my daughter was on the bed somewhere, only to find she was safe and sound in her cot!

:D

That's the downside of breastfeeding I guess. The fathers couldn't take their turns - unless you have that contraption-thing that de Niro use in 'Meet The Fockers'. And I think someone somewhere has written a fic where Frodo breastfeeds. Heh heh

waking up with a start on many occasions, thinking my daughter was on the bed somewhere, only to find she was safe and sound in her cot

That I can totally relate to :-)

Oh, I used to have a breast pump, but I couldn't get on with it! Fortunately I didn't have to be dependent on expressing milk, as I was a stay-at-home mum.

And I think someone somewhere has written a fic where Frodo breastfeeds. Heh heh

Now that I'd like to read!

Aww, thank for reading. As for the sleep-smell I myself would only want Orli's and Elijah's. And Zeke's and Viggo's too :-D

and the husband is so not reading this - about the sleep-smell I mean

Heh, thanks honey.

btw, your Kevin 28-drabbles rock! And I was just thinking, what about another one where Kevin meets the character played by Zeke Josh Hartnett in that movie, now whatshisname. Would be extremely interesting I think.

From: [identity profile] honeyandvinegar.livejournal.com
I'd actually thought of that! As far as I know, Josh is "The Man", simply put. It'd be interesting. ;)

I remember reading a crossover fic in which Casey was paired with The Man who was actually Zeke turned bad. Quite heart-wrenching if I remember correctly.

And I'm looking forward to your Kevin/The Man!

This is SO cute, layne, it just melted me.

I love Elijah with babies; he just looks so wonderful whenever he's in a photo with one. Orli looks like he'd be good too (if Sidi is anything to go by).

I like the way you make the boys both sexy and sweet in this! Yummy.

As much as I love Elijah's big blues, there's something about brown eyes that gets to me. And especially when they belong to Orli!

For me?

Oh how perfect!

Warm loving Orlijah and a darned good reminder of why I do NOT want another baby!!!

But oh, oh.... if I got Orli and Elijah to come and look after it just once... the thought of them curled up in a chair like that, wonderful.

Thank you so very much, you really are a darling.

I love it.
