Maddison S. Alexander - two months old.
〽️
5am - SATURDAY
The sounds of Maddison's loud cries rang through the baby monitor that sat on Drea's nightstand. Drea's eyes fluttered opened and she looked over the white box next to her. Deeply sighing, she got ready to get up but Marco held her arm. "I got her baby." He told her.
"You sure?"
"Yeah, go back to bed." Marco placed a kiss on Drea's forehead then left out the room. Walking into the nursery and over to Maddison's bed, he gently picked her up. "What's the matter with my baby?" He asked while lying her little body on his chest. "Why you fussy at 5 in the morning? You hungry Maddi?"
As soon as the baby was comfortable, her tears came to a halt bringing a laugh from her dad. "Oh naw, don't tell me you're spoiled."
Maddison was now quiet as a mouse. The sound of her daddy's heartbeat was soothing. Marco just stared at her, using his free hand to move the piece of hair that laid on her forehead. "I never knew what perfection was until I laid eyes on my princess. How much do you think it'll cost for me to buy you the world? It doesn't matter, I'll still buy it for you. Anything you want Maddi, you can have it. You and your mommy. We're going to keep you busy too, just like your grandma did with me. Ballet, soccer, horseback riding lessons, swim lessons with an Olympian. Can't wait for you to get older so that me and your uncles can bully any knuckle head boy you bring around....I got a secret, can you keep a secret? Hm?...I bought your mommy something really big and shiny. I'm nervous to give it to her though because I'm not sure if we're ready for this. But I'll never know if I never try right? Right. I'm trying to figure out how I'm going to do it though. Can you help me? Thanks daddy's baby."
Marco rocked back and forth until his eyes grew heavy again. Standing up, he went and placed her back in her crib. "I love you Maddison." After rubbing her cheek one more time, he left out and went back into the room expecting Drea to be sleep but she was wide awake sitting up against the headboard.
"Big and shiny huh?" She smiled.
"Fuck! I forgot about the baby monitor."
"Mmhm." Drea lifted the blanket for him to come and lay back down.
Dragging his feet Marco went and climbed back in bed. "So you heard everything?"
"Yup. Horse riding lessons, swim lessons with olympians. You're on track for father of the year."
"My girl can get whatever."
"I heard that her mommy can too."
"You heard correctly, nosey ass."
Drea laughed. "So you want to marry Big Dre?"
"I do, very much."
Grabbing his hand, she kissed it then placed it on her cheek. "Are you sure? You could just be in this bliss because we just had Maddison and you feel like marriage is what's supposed to happen next."
