CHAPTER 46- Laugh
Demi's POV
Over the next few weeks, I was a kid in a candy store. I was redecorating the entire house from top to bottom, new paint, curtains, furniture. Nicko was a trooper, going with me to every single home and gardens store within fifty miles. We even managed to find a nanny for Mia. Finally, we closed, and all the renovations were finished, and we could begin our lives together. Mia was growing fast, now she'd moved on to different facial expressions, and would focus on workers, starring wide-eyed at them. Nicko was always trying to coach her into saying words now that she could sit up on her own and crawl around, and was making sounds. That's what he was doing now, making faces at Mia on the couch as we watched a movie.
"Babe watch this." I leaned over to watch Mia as he made a funny face and she smiled hugely. "She definitely has your smile." He said, kissing my cheek.
"Looks like she'll have a gap too then." I smiled, and leaned my head on his shoulder.
Nicko made another funny face at Mia and all of a sudden she threw her head back and erupted in a fit of giggles.
"Did she just laugh?" I gasped, jumping up and smiling hugely at Nicko.
"I think so!" He chuckled.
Mia looked so confused at the sound that just came out of her that she burst into tears, screaming loudly.
"Aww baby come here." I cooed, and sat back down, taking her from Nicko and cradling her in my arms against my chest. It was her favorite place to be, with her head in mine or Nicko's neck, so she calmed down quickly. "She scared the shit out of herself." I giggled, and Nicko chuckled.
"Hopefully she's not tramautized by it and will do it again."
I shrugged, "You're pretty funny lookin', so I'm sure she'll be fully stocked with amusement."
He frowned, "You love my funny faces."
I leaned over and kissed him, and he slid his hand up to my neck to keep my mouth on his. All of a sudden I felt a tiny hand worm inbetween Nicko and I's lips, another tiny giggle sounding from my daughter's mouth.
"You think you're funny." Nicko said, smiling down at Mia who squealed with laughter again, making use of the new sound she learned.
"Babahana." Mia said back, and we both laughed.
Soon, Mia was difting off in my arms, and Nicko was getting impatient, placing kisses on my neck as I leaned into his chest, watching the movie.
"Babe." I half whispered, half moaned, as he yet again sucked on my sweetspot.
"Mmm?" He hummed, his hands rubbing my arms.
"I think Mia's ready for bed, are you?" I whispered, giving him a sexy smile.
"Absolutely."

The next morning, I woke up and immediately let out a gasp of panic, slapping Nicko's arm to wake up him as I rushed to get a robe over my naked body.
"What happened?" He said, pulling on his boxers.
"Mia didn't wake me up!" I cried, sprinting to her room with Nicko right behind me.
We bust into the room and I went to her crip, surprised to see her still sleeping. I held a mirror under her nose and made sure she was breathing, and then leaned back into Nicko's chest.
"Holy shit." I breathed, "That was so scary."
He kissed my temple, "She's okay now. It's okay. Let her sleep until we hear her in the monitors."
