"Whee!" Arabella said from her high chair. 

"What are you wheeing for?" Timmy asked.

I snorted.

"Whee!" she said again, and Timmy looked at her, a confused look on his face. 

After Dad left, we had ordered pizza and now we were sitting down at the table, eating. Timmy and Bella both sat together side by side, and I sat in front of Timmy so I could see them both. Bella had decided that she was going to be extra stubborn for food today, and she only ate from Timmy, not from me.

"Here comes the airplane! Look, it's headed straight for your mouth!" Timmy said, feeding Bella baby food. 

"Whee!" Bella said again as she ate the disgusting stuff he fed her. 

"Great job! Now, you're gonna stay nice and healthy!" he said happily. 

"How do you know that she's gonna stay nice huh?" I asked.

"I just know it. You're gonna be nice to Xana, right Bella?" Tim asked her. 

"Whee!" Bella cried, nodding her head happily. 

Timmy beamed at her and looked at me.

I rolled my eyes, taking a bite from my delicious pizza. "Watch her be rude the second you leave."

Tim shook his head, smiling, curls slightly bouncing. "Then I'll stay here. I won't leave. I won't ever leave. You'd like that, right Bella?"

I'd like that. I'd love that really. 

Instead of replying with the usual whee,  Bella responded by throwing up all her food.

Timmy instantly grabbed a napkin and cleaned her up, and I just sat there eating my pizza. While he was wiping her chin, he asked, "Aren't you going to help?" 

I gave him a strange look. "I'm eating pizza. It's gonna get cold if I don't finish it." 

Timmy rolled his eyes and said, "I think I might've fed her too much. Do you think we should give her a nap now?"

"Yeah," I said, collecting our plates while Timmy took Arabella out of her highchair and carried her into her room. 

"Whee!" said Bella, and I heard Timmy laugh. 

"Whee back!" he said as I washed the dishes. 

✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧

After washing and drying the dishes, I quietly went into Bella's room in case Timmy had put her to sleep. 

 I walked in, and Timmy and Bella both are laying down on her elephant carpet, and Timmy quietly reading her a book about washing hands. 

Bella was listening attentively, eyes glued to the book and her tiny body wrapped in her baby blue blanket. 

"So then, Leo washes his hands in the sink and dries them with a paper towel. "Good job Leo!" Mommy says. And then,- Oh hey Xana. Why doesn't Leo know how to wash his hands?"

I sit down on the baby blue armchair. "Leo is three, obviously he doesn't know," I say. 

Timmy shrugs and goes back to reading, and I sit and listen, watching them both. 

Gotta love the free entertainment. Much better than boring old phones. 

After Timmy is one reading, Bella stands up, walks over to her block bag, and brings the whole thing towards Timmy.

Timmy, who is still laying down, sits up crisis cross and starts playing blocks with her. Every time he stalks a block in her block tower, he says"Alright Arabella, last block and then we're going to sleep, alright?" 

Timmy yawns again and Bella keeps playing, making sure every few seconds that Timmy's hands are still making the block tower.

I stand up, almost dozing off myself. 

"Where are you going?" Timmy asks me sleepily. 

I smile. 

"I'm just laying her down so she can go to sleep, she's running late already," I say, taking Bella and placing her in her crib.

"Whee," she says kinda sleepily. 

"Whee back," Timmy says sleepily and lays down on her carpet. 

I swaddle her in her blanket and rock her in my arms, back and forth.

Arabella starts crying. "Shhh," I say, trying to calm her down but that seems to be making her cry harder. 

Timmy stands up. "Here," he says sleepily, holding out his arms for me to put Bella in. 

Bella smiles once she sees him, and Tim takes her from me, now rocking her back and forth. 

"Sing her a song!" I whisper, and Timmy glares at me because Bella was about to close her eyes and my whisper made her eyes open again. 

Not my fault. 

"Rock a bye baby, on the treetop, when the wind blows, the cradle will rock. When the bow breaks, the cradle will fall, and down will come baby, cradle and all." he sang softly. 

 I sat back down on the armchair, eyes closed, just listening to him sing and watch Bella sleep.

✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧

I don't know how long I slept for, but when woke up, a warm blanket was around my body and my legs were properly set on the arm of the armchair, and my head was on an elephant pillow. 

I blinked, looking around. The fan was on, the lights were dim, and Tim was sleeping on the ground with another elephant pillow, snoring cutely, and Bella was fast asleep in her crib, still swaddled in the blanket. 

ADORABLE.
