i wake up to the sound of raucous crying, and i groan before getting out of bed, being careful not to wake vinnie beside me.

i don't know what's up with luna these days, she doesn't usually cry as much and i don't know what's wrong.

i tiptoe over to her bedroom, to see her holding onto the bars of her cot, bawling her eyes out.

"shhh baby, it's okay" i scoop her up into my arms, holding her close to my chest.

her cries don't soften down, and i decide to try feeding her. i feel myself starting to get frustrated as she rejects the food.

she continues to wail, so i switch on her fairy nightlight.

"it's okay luna, lay down for me" i lay her back in the cot, stroking her wispy hair a little.

she hiccups, then starting to cry again.

i place my hand on my forehead as her cries begin to get louder.

"luna please" i pick her up again, rocking her slightly.

i sigh out, rummaging around for her blankie.
maybe that's what she wants.

"god luna what do you want?" she fidgets in my lap, gazing up at me.

i wipe her tear-stained face, despite the ones continuing to stream from her eyes.

after a few moments of silence luna starts up again, and i stroke her back gently, hoping to soothe her.

a feel a tear slip out of my eye, as i rub at the nape of my neck of frustration.

a bit of shuffling invades my ears and within seconds vinnie appears in the doorway.

"hey hey, it's okay" vinnie says, sleep laced in his voice. he picks luna up, then pulling me close to his bare chest.

"what mother can't settle her own child?" i sniffle into his chest, as he wraps an arm around my waist, the other one placed under luna.

"luna can be a bit...much" he chuckles a little, making a small smile form in the corner of my lips.

vinnie wipes the tears away from my cheeks, before doing so for luna.

she clenches her finger around his, the size comparison making me laugh.

"i don't know why she was so upset before, but i guess she just wanted you"

vinnie holds her up to his face, peppering short kisses to her cheeks.

a giggle erupts from her lips as she finally settles down. her eyes slowly close and flutter open, then closing again.

"look who's tired now" vinnie mumbles, turning her around to face him. luna rests against her fathers bare skin, snuggling up to it. vinnie rocks her slightly, and i watch from afar, not wanting to ruin the moment between the both of them.

she places her small hand on the nape of his neck, barely able to reach it but still doing so anyway.

luna then lowers her arm back down, playing with vinnie's fingers. he leans down to press a kiss to her scalp, soft wisps of hair collecting at the sides.

i watch in admiration as the baby gradually starts to fall asleep, in the comfort of her fathers arms.
