I feel a constant breathing on my neck as I wake up. My eyes flutter open to the sound of a beautiful raspy voice, the voice of my precious husband. "Good Morning, beautiful." The words float out of Ty's mouth, as he presses a kiss to my puffy cheek.

I roll over onto my back, since I was on my side, and stretch. "Good Morning, handsome." I reply, pushing a shoulder up to the side of my face, a motion Ty loves.

He groans. "It's too early in the morning for this." I lick my teeth and proceed to bite my lip.

"It's never to early in the morning for this." I say, leaning in to kiss him. Though, before my lips can feel the warm honey-like sensation of a kiss, a cry pierces the silence of the house.

I groan, and Ty laughs. I shoot him a playful glare as I stand up, off the bed, and leave the room. I stalk down the hallway, the cold floor stinging my bare feet, to Hannah's room, which, luckily, isn't that far.

The door is cracked open, and I barrel in, pushing it to the wall. "What's wrong?" I ask her in a baby voice. She gurgles in response, and pounds her fist against the wall of her crib, whimpering.

"Are you hungry?" I ask. She stops whimpering, and pushes her arms in the air toward me.

I carry her to the rocking chair, lifting up my shirt. I never wear a bra to bed- they're too painful and uncomfortable, so it's just my shirt on. I hold Hannah in my arms cautiously, careful not to drop her when she squirms like a worm.

She pounds her fists against my chest, then latches on, biting my boob. "Ow?" I say sassily, almost in the form of a question. I feel her smile against my breast, as she continues to nurse.

She eventually closes her eyes, now finished. I lay a small rag on my shoulder, and then lay her on her stomach on my shoulder, patting her back lightly.

She finally lets out a small burp, and I lay her on the changing table. She cries, but I kiss her forehead, soothing her. I poke her nose, and she opens up her mouth, biting my finger.

She's definitely not teething yet, but it still hurts, even if she does just have gums and not teeth.

Hannah was released from the Erudite Hospital just about a week ago, just a few days after me, fully restored to her health.

I proceed to ripping off her onesie, then her loaded diaper. "She shits a lot at night, doesn't she?" I hear a voice behind me; I turn around. It's Ty, of course. I nod, laughing.

I wipe her, then replace the old, dirty, shit filled diaper, with a new, fresh and clean one. I replace her onesie, and snap the buttons on it, finishing with the ones at her crotch.

I lay her down carefully in her crib, then grab a stuffed plush elephant from the bookshelf across the room, laying that with her as well.

She grasps for it, crying when she can't reach it. I hand it to her, and she nibbles on the fluffy ears. I kiss her cheek, and then walk over to the dial on the wall.

I spin it so that the lights are dimmed, and draw the curtains shut. She begins to silence her crying, until she's asleep.

Ty stands at the door, and I walk over to him, swaying my hips. He looks at me with pure love and passion visible in his eyes.
