When Jeff turns to see who had entered his room, his eyes widen in fear when he sees his 10-year-old brother Henry staring down at him, the boy’s eyes wide with surprise and confusion, “what the… who’s baby is this, and how did it end up in Jeff’s room,” Henry asks himself, kneeling down.
“HENRY! IT’S ME, JEFF,” Jeff tries to shout, “YOU… YOU GOTTA HELP ME,” but all that comes out of his mouth are once again just baby noises.
“Poor thing,” Henry says, “it looks so confused and scared,” the ten-year-old carefully checks the baby, unaware that it’s his brother Jeff, “at least it seems to be unharmed, that’s a relief,” Henry then says, “I wish mom was here, she’d know what to do”. Henry straightens himself, scratching his head, “what am I supposed to do,” he asks himself, “should I call the police? But what should I tell them? That a baby suddenly appeared out of nowhere? They’d think I’d be pulling some “stupid kid prank”,” the boy sighs, as he looks around the room he notices that Jeff’s computer is running, “maybe I can find some ideas on the internet”.
“DON’T TOUCH MY COMPUTER! YOU’LL… YOU’LL MAKE IT WORSE,” Jeff tries to shout, but again only baby squeals escape his mouth.
Henry turns to look at the baby, “shh… don’t worry, little one,” the 10-year-old says, “I’ll figure out a way to help you”.
Jeff can only watch helplessly as Henry sits down at his desk before he hears the clicking of the mouse, from his perspective, Jeff is unable to tell what his brother is doing.
Henry notices a weird program open on his brother’s laptop, “what is “The Chronivac”? Is it some kind of new game Jeff got himself,” the boy mumbles, to quiet for Jeff to hear, Henry opens the manual and reads, his eyes widen, “if that is true… that would be so cool. I might check it out later, first… I need to find out how to help the baby”.
The 10-year-old minimizes the program and opens the internet browser, then types “how to calm a baby” into the search engine.
“When babies are upset,” Henry reads, “giving them milk usually helps calming them, you can either breast feed the baby or give it formula in a bottle. However, simply holding a baby, rocking it in your arms and cooing also helps to calm them down, should the baby however continue to cry, this could mean that it’s hungry and needs to be fed”.
Henry turns to look at the baby who stares up at him with fearful eyes, “let’s try calming it by holding it,” the 10-year-old mumbles, and after researching how to hold a baby correctly, Henry gets to his feet and carefully picks the baby up, starting to rock it back and forth while cooing and shushing, hoping this will calm it down.
