“You know what? Ilovebaby wearing,” Micha exclaimed as he walked through the nest, Samuel strapped to his chest. Our son was fast asleep and looked serene. Charlotte was wide awake, sitting on his hip as he carried both babies with ease.
“He’s going to hog both those babies, you know?” Charlie said as he handed me a steaming mug of tea. He was sitting next to me in the nest while Micha was playing with baby carriers.
Eli was taking a shower. He had wanted to stay with me, but I eventually threatened to shove him out of the nest because he was starting to smell a little ripe.
“I can’t believe we will be taking him outside soon. It feels too soon,” Charlie muttered.
“The baby bubble has to pop, eventually.” I pouted. I didn’t want to go back to real life. In my nest, with my pack and my babies, was where I wanted to be. It was comfortable, happy, and easy.
Picking up my phone, I snapped a quick photo of Micha holding the babies and sent it to a group chat I had with Sunny and Beth.
Kennedy:
It looks like the baby hog isn’t going to change his ways anytime soon.
Beth:
Awww, that’s so sweet!
Sunny:
If he's willing to carry the children, let him. They get big and wiggly fast.
Beth:
Let us know the MOMENT you are up for visitors. Samuel needs to meet his aunties.
A picture of the two girls at a café followed the text.
Kennedy:
What on earth are you two up to?
Sunny:
Shenanigans. Also, did you know one of the single dads Beth is flirting with is an ultra-hot, overprotective lawyer?
Beth:
I am not flirting!
Kennedy:
Beth, sweetie, just accept it.
Beth:
Look, you may have found some good men, but the general population of males is crappy, and I have no interest.
Sunny:
I call bullshit! Now, Kennedy, get some rest, and we will see you as soon as you’re up to it!
“The aunties are planning their invasion.” I giggled.
“They’ll have to fight me for cuddles!” Micha declared proudly before scrunching his nose. “I think little man has made a stinky. Come on, let’s go change you before I give you back to Mama,” he said, wandering off with both babies as Eli entered the room, watching him.
