A Lost Cause

Papa, Dad, Mommy & Mae

🐭War's POV

I woke up from the urge to go to the bathroom. I sat up, still groggy when I saw that the other side of the bed is empty.

Where's Yin?

I walked out of the room and saw a movement in the kitchen. He's hunched over the cabinets.

"Love, what are you doing there?" stroking his shoulder.

He turned and held out the things on his hands. Child-locks. Ugh, Yin.

"Love, she can't even crawl yet in. You're three months too early. AND she will not be crawling in the kitchen."

"Baby, it's better to be safe. She will crawl soon, and what if she crawls here and have an accident.." I cut him off. This is ridiculous.

"Yin, we have a nurse in the morning and at night. She is ALWAYS with someone. Love, look at me. Becky's here as well, Freen, you and me. Let's go sleep, you have work in a few hours."

Yin being paranoid, is an understatement. The very reason we have a nurse at night, so all of us can have a good night sleep. Not him.

Once he hears her cry, or even sound agitate, Yin will go to her. He even set up a baby monitor on his bed side and his phone.

As we lie down, the baby monitor picked up Belle's cry. But you could hear that the nurse is already there, cooing her. Yin was about to stand up but I pulled him back to bed.

"She'll have only one dad if you die young from exhaustion. Sleep love. P'Sam is with her." I hugged him tight. More so he cannot stand back up. Eventually, he relaxed when she stopped crying.

A few hours later, I woke up from the sun coming from the window. I turned and Yin's already up.

I prepared for the day, showered, and wore my suit. I got my bag and walked down to the kitchen. It's 7:30 AM but since Belle wakes up around 6AM, she's all fed and washed and active. Yin playing with her as Becky and Freen have breakfast.

We have fallen to this routine for the past several months. Yin will always be holding her, for all the times he can. Which is every morning. He works until late at night and Belle's already asleep by then.

"Sooo, a couple of weeks left before your well-deserved vacation. Are you guys excited?" I asked them.

They are technically, moving out on Belle's 6th month. They will permanently be living in Switzerland. Becky will be able to continue becoming a private pilot mainly for Freen's family's resort, Freen will manage her family's ski resort. Their lives were put on hold.

"I'll surely miss her" Becky said. Everyone's closer to each other than ever. Since we've decided to raise her truthfully, Belle will know who her parents are and how come our situation is not the same as others.

After a few bites, I sat next to Yin.

"How's my baby giiiirl?" I said, pulling her next to me into my arms. She smiles at me, reaches out to touch my face. I played with her, kissing her head, biting her arms and legs. She's sooo chubby, I just want to squish her.

"Can you say Phapah? Come on Belle" talking to her, of course she won't talk. But we've always talked to her.

"She'll say Dad, first, right baby? Say Dad-ah" He's always competing with me with this.

"You guys look like crazy people" Freen commented. I rolled my eyes at her and just played with Belle for a little bit.

"Yin, get ready for work. You'll be late" I commented, he huffed but stood up. Gave Belle another kiss before going up.
