*2½ months old. 1986 Napa, CA*

Oh my god the past few days have been such a nightmare. It first started 4 days ago when Kelly just woke up screaming. At first I thought she might've been hungry or needed a change but for the whole day she just would not stop crying.

So Jack called up our pediatrician, Dr. Collins and when we brought our little girl in there the next day, he had diagnosed her with colic. At first we were extremely worried that Kelly was seriously sick but he explained to us that it's natural that some babies get it and all it was is just some discomfort and babies crying longer than normal.

He gave us some tips on how to help Kelly feel comfortable until the colic passed and that's what we've been doing. But it seems no matter what we do, she seems to be in even more agony.

Jack was currently trying to massage her while he sat down on the living room chair while I was prepping her warm bottle. But at this point the bottle was overflooding as I was leaned up against the sink exhausted.

Suddenly the doorbell rang and I shot up awake. I turned the tap off and quickly raced to the door.

"I got it Jack, you just keep trying to massage her. It's probably that arsehole across the street complaining about Kelly again."

"God we've explained things to him, can't he just let it go!" Jack snapped. I went up to the door and opened it before snapping out.

"Look Mr. Kowalski we already told you our baby's—"

"Seems I've encountered the mad lioness. I can always come back later." The second I saw that familiar poodle hairstyle, I knew that I had just snapped at Brian.

"Oh god Bri I am so sorry. I just—"

"Seems you're having some trouble in there. Is everything okay? Cause no offense love but you look dreadful."

"I feel dreadful. Kelly's got colic." Brian hummed in understandment.

"I remember when Jimmy went through it. God worst time of our lives. If you'd like from one parent to another, I'd be more than willing to help."

"Oh Bri would you really?"

"Of course. Besides I've been meaning to drop by and see the little darling." I opened the door further allowing him to enter the house while I closed the door. "Oh my. Someone's definitely fussy." Brian said as he could really hear Kelly's crying.

"We've tried everything the doctor said we could do but nothing's worked." I told him. We finally arrived at the living room and saw Jack now trying to get Kelly to fall asleep by massaging her back.

"Hey Bri. I—wish this visit was on better terms." He greeted Brian.

"(Y/n) told me what's been going on. Here, may I try something?" he extended his arms out wanting to take Kelly. Jack then transferred Kelly over to Brian then he said to us, "Now why don't you both try to get some sleep?"

"But Bri—" I started off.

"Ah-ah-ah. (Y/n) don't argue with me, you know you can never win against me. Now you and Jack head on upstairs and into bed." Jack and I looked at each other and gave into his decree.

"Okay." I surrendered.

"But you—you will wake us up if you need help though, right?"

"Yes, yes. Now best foot forward, both of you go on." I softly grinned before Jack wrapped his arm around my shoulders and the two of us walked out of the living room and headed up the stairs to try and get some long awaited sleep.

*Brian's POV*

Work's every time. One look and the student always obeys the professor. I looked down at little Kelly and her painful screams brought me back to when Jimmy was just a few weeks old and he dealt with colic.

"Ohh I know sweetheart, I know. Shhh my little badger cub, it'll be okay." I soothingly massaged her back as I had her head resting on my shoulder. I sat down on the couch and lay her across my lap on her back and gently rubbed her stomach, remembering what Chrissie and I would do to Jimmy to help ease his stomach.

Her crying softened as she stared up at me. I smiled down at her and gently stroked her tiny, chubby cheek.

"There we go my little cub. That feels a bit better don't it?" she still fussed about uncomfortably and flail her arms about. "Don't you worry love, I know it seems like this'll last forever but it won't." I stood up and walked over to kitchen to wet up a warm washcloth. "Here we go love, let's see if this won't help you out just a little bit more."

After wringing it out, I placed the warm cloth right there on her bare tummy and I decided to sing to her a song that never failed to get her mum to sleep whenever she was stressed or overworked, a song that I hadn't sung in years "Someday, One day".

As I sung the first verse, I walked out of the kitchen and back into the living room to sit down on the recliner chair and slowly began to rock back and forth. Kelly's teary eyes looking up right at me.

You never heard my song before

The music was too loud
But now I think you hear me well

For now we both know how
No star can light our way in this

Cloud of dark and fear
But some day, one day...

*My POV*

I couldn't sleep. Not with hearing my baby be in so much pain. She needed me, maybe there was something else I could do for her. As quietly as I could, I snuck out of the bed and slowly crept down the stairs but that's when I heard the familiar sound of Brian's singing.

His soft, angelic tenor range singing a song that I hadn't heard him sing since I was still an intern with them. It was one of my favorite song's of his from Queen's very early days. Along with '39, 'Someday one day' was another song I would ask Brian to sing to me if he ever got the chance.

I looked over through the entry way to the living room and saw Brian holding my little baby in his arm while the two of them sat at the recliner, gently rocking back and forth.

My heart just melted at the sight especially once I had seen Kelly reach out and place her hand right at the end of Brian's curly hair that hung from his shoulders. He chuckled lovingly down at her.

"You really do love my hair don't you? You know for years I was never really quite comfortable with it. Thought it wouldn't be rock and roll enough. But—eventually I accepted it, and came to see it as my own. And you know, you're not the only one whose admired my hair. Your mum also loves my hair. Always taking any chance she could get just to even touch it while we were on the road together. Or just to admire it from afar, kinda like what she's doing right now."

Oh bollocks.

I came out of my hiding space and I said to him.

"It wasn't your hair I was admiring. It was the fact that you were holding my baby all domestic like. Now I get a sneak peak of what you were like when you first became a dad." He smiled at me.

"It was surprising at first. But the second I held Jimmy in my arms, I knew he was more precious to me than anything else in the world." I gasped in mock surprise.

"Even more than Red Special?"

"Yes. But onto the matter at hand. Why are you awake missy? I thought I gave you a direct order to go straight to bed and get some long needed rest? Must I call Roger and let papa lion enforce my command?"

"No. I couldn't sleep. Not with my baby in pain like this. But now it—seems you've managed to calm her down. God why are you guys so much better at this than we are?"

"First time parenting isn't easy. Trust me (y/n). Deacy, Roger and I all made the very same first time parent mistakes. As did our wives. Cause unlike dealing with electronics, or how to play the guitar or drums, babies don't come with instruction manuals. You gotta learn on the job, every day you're learning something new. But believe me when I say that you and Jack already are the best parents because you both love this little girl so much."

"Thanks Brian. Really. You and the guys have been such a big help to Jack and I."

"We're family (y/n). We're always there for you both if you need us." He leaned his forehead against mine and even gave me a small Eskimo kiss. It was then Kelly started getting fussy again as her tummy started acting up.

"Ohh honey-bear." I cooed down at her as I stroked her cheek gingerly.

"Why don't you take the second verse?"

"You sure?"

"I think what she needs more than anything is her mummy's singing." I looked back down at her and proceeded to sing the next verse of Brian's song.

*Me*

Funny how the pages turn

And hold us in between
A misty castle awaits for you
And you shall be a Queen

*Brian*

You shall be a Queen
*Me*

Today the cloud, it hangs

Over us and all is grey
But some day, one day...

Brian and I looked at each other smiling and nodded and that's when the two of us softly sung the last verse as a duet. Our voices blending together which caused Kelly to finally shut her eyes and settle down.

*Both*

When I was you and you were me

And we were very young
Together took us nearly there,

The rest may not be sung
So still the cloud it hangs over

Us and we're alone
But some day one day...
We'll come home

Finally after days of her endless crying and almost no hope of her getting to sleep, Kelly finally closed her eyes and fell right asleep against Brian's chest.

"Oh my god. She finally fell asleep." I whispered happily.

"Told you. I'll give my mum and call and ask her for that special home remedy that she once made for Jimmy when he dealt with this. Rubbing it on her stomach twice a day for the next several days and she'll be right as rain." He gave my baby girl a gently kiss at the crown of her head and he handed her back to me so that I could take her back to the nursery and finally put her to bed.

And true to Brian's word, he got the recipe from his mum and bless him he actually stayed with us the entire time to help us deal with Kelly's colic.

After rubbing the substance on Kelly's tummy for the next 2 weeks, her colic was started to lessen. Then when we took her to the doctor to see if the colic had gone or if we still needed to treat it, and surprisingly he had told us that the colic was now gone. Our baby girl was once again happy and healthy.

Brian stood by the front door with his suitcase in hand while Jack, Kelly and I were there to bid him goodbye.

"We can't thank you enough for all that you've done for us Brian." Said Jack.

"Oh believe me it was no trouble at all. If anything else comes up, please don't be afraid to reach out to me." He told us.

"I feel like I should be paying you for helping us out." I said to him.

"Oh no payments are necessary. All that matters is that this mini angel is healthy again and that I could leave with seeing that sweet smile on her face." Brian said as he playfully tickled Kelly's tummy which made her do that gummy smile of hers. The three of us smiling down at her cause it felt like an eternity since we've seen that smile of hers.

"In all serious Bri, thank you."

"Anytime (y/n). Take care of yourselves. I mean it now." He playfully scolded me as he pointed at me.

"We will." We hugged each other and kissed each other's cheek. Brian then leaned down and kissed Kelly and cooed goodbye to her. He then turned to Jack and the two of them hugged each other.

"Drive safely Brian." Jack told him.

"I will Jack, you keep an eye on your girls."

"You got it." Brian then took his suitcase and headed back over to his car and waved goodbye to us as he stepped inside it and drove off. We waved and bid him a goodbye.

Once he was out of sight from the house, Jack and I turned to each other and we smiled at each other before looking down at Kelly.

"I think we deserve a well-cooked lunch."

"I agree. Come here Kelly-bear. What would you like, hmm?" Jack asked his baby as he took her from my arms. She babbled as Jack said, "Oh don't be ridiculous baby you can't eat chicken just yet." I shook my head playfully at him.

"How about some mac and cheese and applesauce?" I suggested as I tickled my baby's cheek. She let out an 'ahhh' which made the two of us smile widely.

"I'd say that's a yes." Jack praised.

"Alright well let's get inside and wash up." Jack and I walked back inside the house and I shut the door behind us as I prepared my family with a warm mac and cheese lunch.
