Leaving it to the Uncles
by IrenaAdler

Don opened the front door quietly and was glad he did.

"Shh," Nena said softly as he and Will stepped inside. "He's asleep."

"That's okay," Don replied with a low voice. "We came for you, anyway."

Nena's face lit up. "For me?"

"Of course!" Don said and inwardly cursed himself for neglecting Nena in the chaos of the new baby.

"There's no way we could forget our Number One Girl," Will said with a smile.

"Number One?" Nena asked, louder. "Even if-"

"Shh," Will said. "And yes, `even if.'"

Beaming, Nena hugged both of them.

"Hi," Charlie said, coming out of the kitchen, looking barely awake. "If you're here to see-"

"Nena," Don said firmly.

"Oh," Charlie said.

"Looks like you need some sleep, too."

Charlie smiled dreamily. "I remember sleep."

Don shook his head. Why have a nanny if you insist on doing everything yourself?

"We thought we'd try out rock climbing," Will said.

"Indoor rock climbing," Don added before Charlie could object. "With safety harnesses."

"Oh, okay," Charlie said. "Bring back dinner."

"Sure," Don chuckled. "Now, go get a nap."

"Nap," Charlie mumbled and wandered off - back into the kitchen.

Laughing, Don shook his head again.

"Hey," Will said to Nena. "How does rock climbing sound?"

"Do I hafta wear a kiddie harness?"

"Not a kiddie harness." Don gestured the other two back through the still open door. "Just the safety harness."

"You won't wear harnesses," Nena scoffed as Don shut the door behind them.

"Uh," Don said, exchanging glances with Will. "We will."

"Sure," Will said then leaned closer and murmured in Don's ear, "We'll make it more exciting another way."

"How?"

"The last one to the top has to explain to Nena why babies can't `change their mind' about being a boy or girl."
