We got home early the next morning. Riley was fast asleep. Spencer took her and put her in her crib and I sat down on the couch. He sat next to me and I leaned my head on his shoulder.
"We became parents last night." I realized. He kissed my head and nodded.
"It feel so...unreal. You must be exhausted." I was. We stood up and retreated to bed.
~~~
When I woke up, Spencer was gone. I walked into the nursery and found him, feeding Riley. I could tell that he loved her a lot. He was going to be a great dad. There was a knock on the door. I walked over and opened it to find Penelope, Derek, and Emily.
"Hey guys! Come on in.'
"So, what is it?" Penelope asked.
"It's a baby girl. Riley Emilia Reid." Spencer came into the living room and handed her to Garcia.
"She's beautiful." Emily told us.
"Thank you." I leaned against Spencer.
~~~
They all soon left and I sat in a chair, feeding the baby. Spencer came up behind me and kissed the top of my head.
"I love you." I told him.
"I love you too. Riley was a really good choice, by the way."
"Thanks. I thought so too." He smiled.
"She looks like you." I laughed.
"That she does. If she doesn't develop my temper then we'll be in good shape. But..the thing is...what are we going to do about child care? We both work."
"Either, A: We can alternate between who works, B: We can hire a nanny, or C:You know your sister would kill you if you didn't ask her, so A and B are redundant." I nodded.
"Fair point. So, we have twelve days off. What are we going to do?"
"I haven't the slightest idea."
"Well...we did miss Halloween. We could watch a horror movie?"
"Ok. That works."
~~~
The baby had fallen asleep again, and, before we could even get the movie started, so did we. I was drawn from sleep by the baby crying. I got up and walked into the nursery. I picked the baby up and a foul smell followed her.
"Oh, that is atrocious." I put her down on the changing table and quickly changing her diaper, before walking into the living room. Spencer sat up and rubbed his eyes. I sat down next to him and leaned against his shoulder, his arm wove it's way around me.
"Is this what everyday is going to be like? The both of us falling asleep at Five O'clock until the crying wakes us up?"
"That sounds about right, yeah."
