When she joins him in the archway between the nursery and bedroom, her voice is quiet. "We'll see if she falls asleep."

She can't help it if she's a little skeptical. For one thing, it's a brand new room. And Junior's never slept in a crib before.

Plus, barring any naps when Elaine's been nice enough to watch her, the baby's always fallen asleep in the same room as them.

Only time will tell. In the meantime, though, she lifts herself up on the balls of her feet and lets her arms curl around Spike's neck. "Time for a break? I can make some trips now."

Her voice stays low, and despite her words, she doesn't seem to be in any hurry to leave his side right away.
