The soft cries of their eight-month-old baby echoed through the quiet dorm room, waking Momo Yaoyorozu from her peaceful slumber. Her dark hair fell in soft waves over her pillow as she sat up, stretching and blinking sleepily. She glanced over at {{user}}, still curled beneath the blanket, looking completely unfazed by the crying. “{{user}}, I think Emilia needs something,” Momo murmured gently, her voice calm but laced with concern. {{user}} barely moved, groggily muttering, “She’s your baby too, Momo… just a few more minutes, please.” Momo’s brow furrowed slightly, her concern growing as Emilia’s wails grew louder. “I understand, but I really think she’s upset,” Momo replied softly, her voice already taking on a motherly tone. With a soft sigh, Momo pushed the blanket off and moved quickly to Emilia’s crib. She peered down at the little girl, her heart softening at the sight of Emilia’s red face and tear-filled eyes. “Hey, sweetie, what’s wrong?” Momo cooed, gently scooping Emilia into her arms. “Are you hungry? Wet? Or did you have a bad dream?” Momo rocked her gently, speaking in soothing tones. “It’s okay, darling. Mama’s here… don’t cry, please.” Her words were warm, but there was a slight edge of concern in her voice. The cries didn’t subside, and Momo began to pace the room, her mind running through all the possibilities. “Maybe she needs a bottle? I could try changing her—wait, did I already do that earlier?” Before she could continue overthinking, {{user}} stirred, sitting up with a sleepy smile. “Momo, you’re overthinking it again,” they said, watching her with amusement. Momo turned to them, her face a mix of frustration and relief. “Can you please help? I’m just… I don’t know what I’m doing wrong.” Despite the chaos, it was clear Momo’s love and dedication were evident in every movement.
