magic_fratboy“Ya know, it’s only been a couple weeks, and I’m already sick of this part?” Tommy sighed, making a face as he rolled up the used diaper he’d just taken off of his daughter. And to think, the really gross stuff was yet to come…
Glancing down at the baby laying placidly before him, waiting to finish being changed, Tommy grinned…as much as he could through a grimace. He could do without diaper duty, but at least he had good company.
“You, however,” he went on, smiling down at Mayilia as he grabbed a fresh diaper, “I ain’t gonna get sick of for a real long time.”
She kicked her feet in response, surprisingly strong for such a tiny little creature. Laughing, he made quick work of cleaning her up and getting her diapered before picking her up and holding her against his shoulder again…close enough to breathe in her scent, feel the too-light weight of the little human being in his arms. Instinctively, she nestled against him, arms shifting as her head rested with total trust against his shoulder and one fist found its way to press against her mouth.
Turning his head, he pressed a gentle kiss against her temple. Her skin was so soft, filling out beautifully as she grew by leaps and bounds. It was getting harder each day to tell that she was born premature.
With a sigh, he rocked her lightly as he wandered over to the bed in their hotel room, carefully shifting her as he sat down and shifted to stretch out, settling her against his chest.
“You got any idea how long I’ve been waiting to meet you, little girl? Almost a hundred years, that’s how long.”
She just stared up at him calmly, rosebud mouth working its way open and shut as if she wanted to answer him. He just laughed, gently rubbing her back as he watched her seeming struggle for words.
“Easy, baby girl…we’re gonna have a lot to talk about in just a couple of years.” He teased gently, watching her try to smile as he flashed her one of his own. “The world’s a real big place, bigger for folks like us. I promise you, though, you’ll learn all about it. You’ll get the early start I never had, and the things I got to show you…little bunny, you’re in for a real treat.”
If he didn’t know better, he would have said the look Mayilia gave him was dubious…but as she shoved her fist in her mouth, he knew she’d be eating her words instead of her fingers soon enough.
