The next few days follow without issue. Natasha and Autumn finish setting up Willow's nursery; painting the walls and putting up her crib. Butterfly wallpaper that the little one had eagerly picked out adorned the main wall behind said crib, her name written in baby pink cursive hung in the centre.
Willow adored her nursery and promptly spent three hours playing with both her toys and reading her books. She'd even begged her mama to eat lunch in there too of which Natasha was quick to agree with.
However, her love for her nursery didn't extend to night time. Despite her mother's best efforts of keeping things as normal as possible, the second they attempted to put her in her crib she'd let out the most heartbreaking cry.
Autumn, without any hesitation, immediately scoops her back up into her arms and sends Natasha a pleading look. The red head simply sighs, sends one last look at the crib before leaving the room and gesturing for her wife to follow.
Autumn lets out a breath of relief as she cups the back of Willows head. The the little one was content now she was in her mommy's arms, her tiny body limp as she suckles soothingly on her fingers.
"This is just for tonight," Natasha warns as they make it to the couples shared bedroom, sending her wife a look of warning before disappearing into the bathroom.
Autumn simply smiles as she settles into bed with Willow cradled in her arms. "She doesn't mean that," she murmurs into the little ones ear, pressing a kiss to the top of her head. "You have mama wrapped around your little finger. Mommy too."
Willow simply stares up at her with a happy little smile, legs lightly kicking as her mommy coos down at her. Soon, Natasha makes a reappearance, and the Willow's grin widens as she lets out a loud squeal.
Natasha immediately turns to face her as she begins getting herself ready for bed. "Hi happy girl. Are you snuggling with mommy?" She grins, tugging her jeans down her legs and stepping into a pair of pyjama shorts.
Willow doesn't respond verbally, but she does let out a quiet coo of content as she holds out her arm. The red head hurries the process up slightly and soon finds herself climbing into bed next to her two favourite people. The little one immediately reaches for her, and both women share a look of adoration as Natasha scoops her over onto her lap.
Willow immediately nestles close and begins routing around her chest, lips making light suckling motions.
"Is she...?" Autumn trails off as she shifts in place slightly, turning her body to face her wife.
Natasha hums in confirmation as she gently taps the little ones cheek to get her attention. Once Willow was looking up at her, she then uses her pointer finger and gently trails it over Willow's bottom lip. Like suspected, the little one immediately latches on to the finger and begins to suckle in earnest.
"We talked and have her permission in both headspace's if you want to nurse her." Autumn speaks up as she watches Natasha silently contemplating with herself, and the red head hums again as she momentarily glances over at her wife before bringing her attention back to Willow who was still suckling away on her finger.
She seems to be getting a little agitated now, her face scrunching up as she lets out a quiet whine.
"You don't want to go first?" Natasha finally speaks, and Autumn simply smiles as she shakes her head.
She does a little bit, but the look of pure contentment on her wife's face clearly shows that Natasha wanted to do nothing more than to comfort and nurture their baby, and who was she to deny her of that?
"You go ahead baby." Was all Autumn says, and Natasha smiles softly as she looks back down at Willow.
"You want to nurse my little one?" Natasha murmurs as she gently brushes a few loose strands of hair out of Willows face. The little one simply grunts as she unlatches from the woman's finger and begins routing around her chest again. When she was unsuccessful with her search, she wriggles unhappily and lets out a quiet cry.
