It's been a 月 since the birth of Annabelle, and Louis and Eleanor had been working non-stop. I decided to jump in and give them a hand. "Hey guys, when's the last time you've had a date?" I asked them one day. "Um... couple of months, actually." Louis guessed, holding Annabelle. "Maybe 你 guys should have a 日期 night," I suggested. Eleanor sighed. "I don't know, who'd babysit Annabelle?" she said. I coughed. "Um, hello?" I said, gesturing to myself with a giggle. "I'm a great babysitter. I used to babysit my neighbors Tyler and Aidan all the time."
Louis nodded. "I guess that would be good," he said, looking at Eleanor. "What do 你 think, El?" "I could use a 日期 night," she said, wiping her forehead. I smiled. "Great! So when will your 日期 night be?" I asked. "Thursday's good," Eleanor responded, checking the calender on the fridge. "Thursday it is," I smiled.
On Thursday, right before I was on my way to babysit Annabelle, my phone started ringing. "Hello?" I said, answering it.
"Hey, Li! It's Ruby."
"Hey Ruby! What's up?"
"You're babysitting Annabelle tonight, right?"
"Um... yeah, why?"
"I haven't seen her in a while, I was wondering if I could come too!"
"Okay, I'll ask Louis and El--"
"Oh, no need. I already asked them. They 说 I just needed your permission, too."
"Great! Do 你 need a ride there?"
"Nope. Harry can drive me."
"Okee-dokee. See 你 there!"
Later that evening, Ruby and I were trying to get Annabelle to stop crying. "Shh, Annabelle, it's okay," Ruby whispered. Annabelle kept crying. Ruby tried to make a funny face, which made Annabelle cry even more. Ruby sat down on the couch. "Your turn. I give up," she sighed. I looked at Annabelle's crying face and thought, 'Maybe I should sing to her...' I picked her up and held her and began to sing one of my 最喜爱的 lullabies as a kid. "Hush now, my baby, be still love, don't cry, sleep as you're rocked 由 the stream..." Annabelle's crying dimmed. "...sleep and remember my last lullaby, so I'll be with 你 when 你 dream." Annabelle giggled and yawned. Soon she was fast asleep in my arms. Ruby jumped up. "How did 你 do that?" she whispered, careful not to wake the baby. I shrugged. "I don't know, I guess... I just like 唱歌 to kids," I said. Ruby was amazed. "I have so much to learn from you," she said, sitting back down on the 长椅, 沙发 again. I turned on the T.V., making sure the volume wasn't too high. Ruby and I watched Family Guy for the rest of the night until Louis and Eleanor came back.
Louis nodded. "I guess that would be good," he said, looking at Eleanor. "What do 你 think, El?" "I could use a 日期 night," she said, wiping her forehead. I smiled. "Great!
