Tim was crossing the hospital's hallway hand in hand with his 3 year old, until they both reached room 239. After his daughter knocked shyly on the door, he opened it. A smile came out on his face: Lucy was lying on her bed, their newborn sleeping peacefully against her mother's skin. Lucy turned her head to face them. Ellie, who was excited to meet her new sibling, was now shy. She hid herself behind her father's leg, a little bit impressed by her tiny baby sister. Tim held her and sat next to Lucy. The little girl hid her face in his neck, still impressed.
"Els, do you remember when you and I were talking to your mummy Belly? We were talking to your sister; she was hidding, and yesterday she was ready to come and meet you."
The three-year-old looked at her dad, confused at first, then she stared at her sibling.
"Baby? "
"Yes, peanut, baby. Your baby sister " Tim answered with a bit of pride.
"No mama belly anymore?""
"Mama has no more baby in her belly."
The little one gazed at everything and everyone around her: machines, IV tubes, chairs, bed, babysitter, dad, mom.
"Mama hurt?"" Her little finger pointed the IV in her mother's arm.
"Nooo, it helps mommy to feel better. I'm ok, peanut, I swear. Come here and give Mama a hug. I missed you so much.
Ellie hesitated at first and then nodded. Lucy made some room against her. The little girl was laying against her mother, next to her baby sister. Lucy pressed a kiss on her forehead and brushed her back. She was so big. Her first baby was not a baby anymore. Ellie was looking at her sister and was brushing her mother's skin, a habit she had had since she was born.
"Ellie is not a baby! Baby is baby, not Ellie."
"You will always be my baby. But sure, you're a big girl now. Did you help Dada at home?"
"Give Kojo food!""
"Good girl.. Did dada tell you your sister name? "
"Yes!! Baby!"
" Almost.. So, Ellie, this is Amelia."
"Melia? Hi, baby Melia. Wove You"
"She can't talk right now, but I'm sure she loves you too."
Tim and Lucy exchanged a look; no words were needed. All they ever wanted was here, in this room.

Baby was born for two months now, and they were discovering their new life. Both of them were exhausted: first because they had a newborn at home, and then because their toddler had her "terrible three," as they named it. But it was ok; she needed time to process everything.
"Come here, peanut, I will help you with your shoes."
"NO!! NO! NO! NOT DADA. MAMA "
"Mama is sleeping with your baby sister; come on, shoes on. Don't you want an ice cream?""
"No, want mama."
"Not now, sweetie. Shoes?""
"NO, mama..." She looked at her dad; tears were running down her face.
"What is happening here?""
"Mama?""
"Come here, peanut."
"Sorry, Luce." Lucy looked at him and whispered, Don't worry, while her daughter hugged her.
"Els, listen, Mummy needs to sleep a bit, and I heard Daddy wanted to have ice cream with you. It's something big girls are doing with their daddy. Maybe you can ask Daddy to go to the station to see Aunt Angela? And on your way back, ask Daddy for another ice cream; bring one to Mommy? Can you do that?""
"Hm.. Ice cream for Melia?""
"No, she's too young. Just for Ellie and Mommy!""
"And Dada."
"And Daddy. Shoes on. Love you, little monster."
"Wove you, little mama," and she ran to reach her shoes.
"Two ice creams? You're weak."
"I know, but at least it worked."
"Hm, go back to bed, Wove you."
"Wove you too."
On their way back, Ellie brought her mother ice cream: vanilla, mango, and lemon, with an outrageous amount of sprinkles on it. Obviously, she ate the half of it with Lucy.

Both of their daughters were sleeping now. The house was calm. They were cuddling against each other when Lucy cupped Tim face and kissed him. While his hands found their way under her top, she took the advantage and laid down on him. A simple look explained everything. She wanted him now; he needed her now. First time in two months. She couldn't wait anymore. Clothes were optional by now. Kisses and touches were vital. A simple and soft moan from her turned him on. They took it slow, enjoying every minute of it until they reached their climax. He took her against him.
"I missed you," he confessed.
"I missed you too.. Babe?""
"Hm?? "
"I'm going to stop breastfeeding her... I'm too tired. With Ellie, it was simple; we only had her, but now between Ellie, Amelia, work, house... It's way too much... And I... "
"It's okay, love; if you want to stop, we're going to stop. Same method as Ellie? "
" Hm. I wove you..."
"I wish she never stopped to tell I love you this way... You wanna take the first shower?"
"Or we can take it together."
And of course he chose the second option. They were falling asleep when they heard "Mama.". Tim wanted to get up when Lucy stopped him. Ten minutes later, she came back, her first baby against her, half asleep.
"Just for tonight, hm?"" she said when she joined Tim in the bed.
"Obviously..."
"She's so big... Where is my little baby? Hm? "
Tim smiled. It seemed someone else wanted to join the party. Tim grabbed her and laid her down against her mother. And while she breastfed her, Ellie put her head against Lucy's belly for a hug. Thanks to the hormones, happy tears were running down Lucy's face. Tim wiped them with his thumb and looked at her.
"You're cute, you know that?""
