We took her home and she was an angel.. For about two hours and then she was crying again and my chest swelled up telling me that she was hungry again. I sighed and got up to feed her. This went on all day long and Michael took the week off to help with the baby. He did his share during the day and I did mine at night. Only, I have the milk so I'm not sure how this would work out and its daytime now. Michael went to the kitchen and got an empty bottle that we bought for her.

Michael: Take this.

Suesie: What am I supposed to do with it?

Michael: Fill it up, what else?

I felt a little funny about what he just said and slightly smiled.

Suesie: Michael, I can't right now okay? I'm feeding her.

Michael: All this week I'll do the day shifts and you feed her at night. So therefore, go and I'll find out how to calm her down.

Suesie: Michael..

Michael: Suzanne, this is not an option. Just go and come back so that you can get some rest.

I looked at Leona for a while and then sighed.

Suesie: I guess..

I went and tried to figure out how to fill the bottle up. After a while, I did. It seems I have to squeeze it into the bottle. I came back and handed him the bottle.

Michael: Thank you.

Suesie: Mhmm. Can I have my baby back?

Michael: He's right here. Want a kiss?

Suesie: Not you! Leona.

I crossed my arms.

Michael: But I just got her. She needs to know who her daddy is.

Suesie: And she needs to know who birthed her. Now hand her over.

Michael didn't argue with me, he simply kissed Leona and then handed her over to me. I held her close and began to feed her again. Michael just watched and he loved what he was seeing.

Michael: The two most beautiful girls in the world that I love are sitting right here before my very eyes.

Suesie: You're the sweetest man I know.

Michael chuckled.

Michael: I'm the only man you know.

Suesie: What about your brothers?

He bit his lip and then smiled.

Michael: They're boys to you but men to their women.

Suesie: What makes you think that?

Michael: I'm the only man you love and let's face it, I'm the only man you've ever met.

Suesie: So what does that make your father?

Michael: Joseph is Joseph. Simple as that.

Suesie: Michael, what do you have against him?

I threshold my head once I remembered.

Suesie: Never mind.. I'm sorry.

Michael: To change the subject, I shall now kiss you and our new born daughter and thank you afterwards.

He kissed us as promised then said thank you.

Suesie: You're welcome.

Michael: You're not going to ask me why anymore?

Suesie: Nope.

Michael: Please?

Suesie: No.

Michael: Why not?
