Mila flung back the covers for the 5th time in half an hour, Bethany had been restless all night.
Bethany was suffering greatly with her gums as her teeth were starting to come through. It didn't matter what Mila did for the small girl, the comfort only lasted a short while before the tears would come again.
"Mama's here baby girl." She tried to soothe as she lifted Bethany into her arms.
Bethany continued to cry, even throwing herself back in pain.
"Oh no. It's ok. Them nasty toothy pegs." Mila said and placed Bethany's dummy into her mouth.
She took Bethany down to the kitchen to find the cold teether out of the freezer.
"Here we go baby. Maybe this will help." She sighed hating seeing Bethany struggle so much.
"Hey, are you two ok?" Beth asks as she approaches the pair in the kitchen.
"Not really, everytime I think she's settled she wakes up crying harder then the previous time. It's heartbreaking hearing her so hurt and upset." Mila sighs and bounces Bethany, who seems to be already working up to her next cry.
"Have you tried the teething crystals? They were a godsend with Milo." Beth asked and gently stroked Bethany's cheek.
Bethany vocalises and then aggressively bites on the teether.
"I've tried that but I don't think it's working." Mila sighs.
"She's just not happy." Mila concludes.
"Do you want me to take her for a bit?" Beth offers, sensing Mila becoming overwhelmed and clearly running out of options.
"I mean I would say, sure. I'm not even sure she'd come to you though." Mila sighs.
"Give it a try love. You look exhausted." Beth frowns in concern.
"Have kids, they're great." Mila starts. "This has to be the worst stage yet." Mila sighs and attempts to pass Bethany to Beth.
"Nnnnnaaaa" Bethany screams and claws at Mila's night top.
"I think that's a no." Mila takes a deep breath.
"Oh little miss. You're not having a good time with it at all are you?" Beth pouts at Bethany.
Bethany cuddles into Mila's shoulder still biting aggressively on the teether. Mila stays with Bethany cuddled into her, she sways gently.
"Sorry love. I guess she just needs her Mumma." Beth says watching Mila gently sway with Bethany.
"I'm gonna put her in bed with me. Hopefully that will work." Mila concludes as her and Beth make their way towards the stairs.
"Shout up if you need me babes. I'm only down the hall." Beth said as they split up to go to their respective rooms.
Mila climbed into bed making a safe space in the bed for Bethany to lay down. Bethany was against lying down and began to cry the minute Mila put her down.
Mila instantly picked Bethany up again, she would do anything at this point to make Bethany feel better. Mila opted on putting Bethany on her chest, sitting half upright.
Bethany began to slowly doze off on Mila. Mila gently whispered a song to Bethany.
"You are my sunshine, my only sunshine, you make me happy when skies are grey. You'll never know, dear how much I love you."
Mila gently placed a kiss on her now calm Daughters head, she didn't dare move anymore than necessary.
The two slept for around an hour before Bethany woke up again with the same ear shattering cry.
Mila rocked Bethany gently and looked down at her sadly. "We don't like them toothy pegs do we baby? Them mean nasty toothy pegs." Mila says and kisses Bethany's head in attempt to calm her.
The crying doesn't seem to last as long this time, Mila is even able to lay Bethany beside her in the bed and the pair begin to fall asleep.

The next morning Mila woke up just as Bethany did. She smiled gently.
"Good morning little lady." Mila smiles tiredly.
Bethany grabs onto Mila's face, she babbles in her baby babble. Mila couldn't help but chuckle. Her Daughter was just as much, if not more chatty than Beth.
After a few moments laying enjoying Bethany's sunshine temperament, Mila decided it was time to get up and head down for breakfast.
Mila placed Bethany into her high chair as she put something together for breakfast for the little girl. Bethany, was unbothered by being in her seat.
"Hello you..." Beth cooed to Bethany, which in turn gets her all excited. Bethany bangs her hands on her high chair tray and then brings her hands to her mouth as Beth tickles her.
"Such a happy little lady this morning. Yes you areeee." Beth sing songs.
Mila smiled as she watched on. She makes herself, Beth and Viv a morning coffee after she buttered and cut up the toast for Bethany.
"Here we go." Mila says passing Beth her coffee and then Viv hers.
"Mam said you'd had a rough night." Viv commented.
"Something like that. Yeah." Mila nodded.
"Sorry I wasn't here to help. I would have helped you out if I could have." Viv frowns, feeling bad for not being there.
"You couldn't help not being here. You had an important role to take for your job. It happens. We love you regardless." Mila said as she seated herself in front of Bethany who had just started her toast.
"Don't beat yourself up Vivi. Bethany didn't even want to come to me. I guess some things are mummy only." Beth comforted Viv, knowing that Viv was definitely overthink the whole situation.
"Well we're all happy today aren't we princess?" Mila grins and looks at Bethany.
Bethany swallowed her piece of toast that was in her mouth and smiled widely showing the 2 teeth that came through the night before.
"Oh my! Look at them toothy pegs!" Mila grins.
Beth and Viv both look over happily. "She looks so cute!" Beth stated.
"What a toothy girl you are." Viv grins.
