Danily Family~ Baby Number 2

55- Late Night Early Morning

"You're alright sweatpea," Emily whispered as she picked up Tayla out of the bassinet and cradled her gently.

She looked over at the clock; 4am.

"You woke me up early again baby girl, what's wrong?" She coed walking out of the room before Daniel was woken.

She walked the living room, gently boucing Tayla up a down in the cold air trying to settle her. It was Monday, making Tayla exactly 1 week old. Looking up at the clock, she realized this is the time they were preparing from there little girl to come into thee world a week ago.

Emily came back to reality as Tayla cied a little louder.

"I feed you an hour ago baby, how are you still hungry?" She asked sitting down on the couch and putting a pillow underneath her arm, whist letting her feed again.

If it was a warm summers morning, Emily might have just taken her out onto the sand to watch the sunrise and put her back to sleep. But winter was creeping in, the snow would soon fall and goose bumps were already forming on her skin as she sat in the living room.

"Next time I am staying tucked in bed," Emily muttered as she stroked Taylas little head.

She closed her eyes and continued to feed as Emily stroked her head, rocking her to sleep. 10 minutes later Emily climbed the stairs again and walked back up into the bedroom, laying Tayla back down in the bassinet.

"Where did you go?" Daniel asked she slid back under the covers and laid down against him with her head against his chest.

"She was hungry again," she whispered in reply as he wrapped his arms around her.

"Is she sleeping again now?" He asked.

"Hopefully, I'm tired, it's my turn to sleep."

"If she wakes up again I'll get her."

"You don't hear her," she giggled looking up at him.

"Then wake me," he smiled in return.

She sighed and closed her eyes, she felt safe in his arms, this was something she had missed.

"You're such a good mum," he whispered in her ear.

"You're better at dealing with the two of them than me," she replied referring to the fact he could calm either of the children in just a few moments.

"You know what I love about you?" He asked her. "You don't hesitate to do anything for our children, you just do it. And you're always worrying about them more than youself."

"That's my job," she whispered with a smile on her face. "I'm their mummy."

"Exactly. That's why you're so good at what you do."

He smiled and kissed her forehead, playing with a strand of her hair hanging behind her back.

"Do you know what I've missed most over the past 9 months?"she whispered.

"What?"

"Being close enough for you to cuddle me, and hold me. I love it when you do that."

"I love it when I can have you so close to me too," he said quietly. "Goodnight beautiful, I love you."

"I love you too," she whispered.
