I patted Adelynn on her bottom as she was whimpering in my ear, on her way back to sleep.

She's been sleeping horribly for the last 2 nights and we couldn't figure out why until I put my finger in her mouth today.

She's mine, I can do that and I figured out that molar is coming in.

I called Evelyn, she told me about a breastmilk popsicle and it has been working like a charm.

I wish I had one right now.

"Want this?" Aubree questioned, as he walked into the bedroom, majority of his attention was on his phone.

"Yesssss, thank you. Did you read my mind?" He swapped it with the teething ring.

He didn't even hear me as he proceeded out the door but backed up.

"Ima just shower downstairs." He yawned.

"You can shower in here." I replied, adjusting the pillows to lay us down.

"Nah, it's alright. I gotta make a few calls, too. I really just ain't wanna disturb y'all." He answered his phone before it could ring out loud, he told whoever it was to hold on.

"You cool?" He raised both of his eyebrows, leaving his mouth in a small 'o' position.

"Yes." I smiled.

He bit his lip as he walked out the bedroom, resuming the call.

I pulled a onesie out her drawer and used that for the bib.

She didn't care and I didn't either, she was enjoying her relief and I think she enjoyed keeping me up half of the entire night, too.

I adjusted against the headboard as I yawned and laid her on the pillows I had propped up.

I woke up to a big and empty bed.

It was so quiet in the house that I took my time rising.

When I don't have anywhere to be, I don't even look at time.

I laid in bed, doing a little thinking and some bed stretches before I finally rolled out.

I stretched more and opened the doors to the balcony, letting the cool breeze in.

Its still fairly early, judging from the sun being halfway awake too.

I handled all my morning hygiene and threw on my granny panties, a crop top and some socks. It's my go to combo.

Everything feels so free but my feet are warm.

I proceeded out the bedroom and made me some morning tea.

I took my time cooking a small breakfast along with.

As soon as I sat down, someone was knocking on the door. I couldn't get up without stuffing some food in my mouth and sipping a little tea but I forgot that shit was hot.

I flicked my burning tongue the entire walk to get my robe in a nearby bathroom while someone got the door.

When I came back, Kev was showing Anthony and his friend where to wait but I was coming back now.

"Hey!" I greeted him.

"Hey, lovely. How are you?" We hugged.

"I'm good, how are you?" I smiled as he held onto my hands.
