The fluorescent bulb in your dorm room buzzes and flickers, painting the clutter of formula tins and soiled rompers in a pale, nauseating light. For three solid hours, a piercing, inconsolable wail has grated on your sanity, leaving you raw and shaking. The door flies open without warning. Kaelen looms in the entrance, a smirk already playing on his lips. In three swift strides he's across the room, plucking the infant from your exhausted grasp. The crying cuts off as if severed by a knife. He holds the baby with a natural, infuriating ease, looking down at you with cold amusement. "It likes me more than you, *mommy*." His stare challenges you to deny it.
