Chapter 17- Family Days

Alex grunted, pulling the pillow further over her head before she felt Alice’s hand smack her bare stomach.

Alex: umff

Alice: get ’em

Alex: umff

Alice hit her again.

Alice: go get ‘em

Alex: Sleep.

Alice sighed before rubbing her eyes and putting on her glasses and scurrying out of bed. She trudged over to the small crib Alex had built that was against the far wall of their bedroom. Reaching in, she pulled out a small, screeching bundle. She gently cradled her son while bringing him over to their bed. Once seated against the headboard, she looked around and shook her head, kicking her wife’s calf.

Alex: wuu?

Alice: I need to get my shirt off. Can you hold him?

Alex grunted and with a sigh, rolled over and pulled herself up reluctantly before accepting Brodie from Alice. She rocked the baby as she watched her wife’s shirt come off. She smiled at the slightly swollen breasts that were in turn exposed. She handed the bundle back to Alice who took it and started to feed him. Alex kissed her wife’s cheek before flopping back down onto her pillow.

Alice: Don’t go back to sleep yet. He’s gonna need you to sing.

Alex sighed.

Alex: resting my eyes.

Alice: If you’re not awake when he’s done, so help my God Alex, I’ll squirt you again.

Alex: mmhmm

She moaned a bit, getting comfortable. Alice suppressed a tiny chuckle, gently brushing back the baby’s dark, thin layer of hair. It was the exact same colour as Alex’s. She couldn’t believe that they had been parents for six months already. The first one had been the worst, but after that they fell into routine. Alex was a complete natural with him. He’d scream and wail at the top of his lungs, and the second Alex took hold of him, he’d stop, and brown eyes would meet their maker and a certain unspoken understanding would pass through them.  Alice felt him stop sucking and gently pulled him up over her shoulder, patting his back while kissing his shoulder. He let a small burp out and sighed, gently gnawing at her shoulder. He started to stir again, and she rolled her eyes, seeing Alex’s steady breathing and soft moans. Well, she had warned her.
