Summary: Karl needs some sleep so Lee helps.
Author's Notes: This goes with “At Least a Friend” and “A Storm Between Friends” but it does stand alone, all you need to know is Sharon didn’t make it so it’s just Helo and Hara. Also, I'm still feeling my way thought first person so any advice about what works and what doesn't always helpful.

When Lee opened the hatch and looked in the room the first thing he saw was Helo half slumped over in a chair and onto the table as Hara’s bottle sat next to him.
Hara was lying just dozing in her bed not yet hungry enough to wake her father but Lee knew she would soon.
Lee made his way to Karl and just tapped his shoulder and jumping back when the larger man jumped with a start, “Lee?” Karl asked groggy.
“Take a nap Helo, I’ve got a few hours and I think I’ve got feeding Hara without ruining my clothing down,” Lee said as he started the burner to warm Hara’s bottle.
“I’m good Lee it-“
“Karl,” Lee interrupted Karl before he could say any more, “you need sleep if you’re going to fly on the CAP in five hours.”
“Hara needs-“
“Do I need to put your father to bed Hara?” Lee asked as he picked up Hara who had started moving around and giggling, and cradling her in his arms.
Lee watched as Helo just smiled and shook his head before rising and doing little more then kicking off his boots before falling into the bed falling asleep almost as once.
“He pushes too hard, do you know that Hara? Your father just doesn’t know when to ask for help. He always has to try to help everyone, even if it means giving up his sleep. Well you’ll help me stop that right?” Lee asked Hara as he took the bottle and tested some on his wrist.
“He took a second shift and still thinks he can stay up with you and then do CAP again,” Lee continued as Hara just looked up at him and the bottle he brought to her mouth, “He always needs someone to make sure he’s looking after himself, he’s not good at that. I use to do that, you’ll help me now right?” he asked as he looked over at the sleeping Helo.
After Hara had finished her bottle, and Lee had burped her, he laid her back down before turning to Karl. Grabbing the blanket he draped it over Karl and slid the pillow more evenly under Karl’s head. Lee just told him to go back to sleep when Karl started to wake and then watched him and Hara until the call for CAP forced him to wake them.
