That night, Micaiah and Sothe slept comfortably, Bridgette in her crib, swaddled in pink linen. She didn't sleep at an instant. Her surroundings were new, she didn't fuss or cry. Anytime she were awake, her eyes studied on her hands. Anytime she nursed off of Micaiah she had let go to cry a bit, then start over till she were full. The healers washed her off and put her in a fresh white onesie to sleep in. She didn't seem too interested into Auntie Sanaki, nor aunties Tanith and Sigrun. She only liked her parents, she was attached to them for her first week.

A few nights after they showed Bridgette to the kingdom of Daein, Sothe took a short paternity leave to help Micaiah with their baby. She also took a two week maternal leave, she couldn't be off so long since she were queen. The first week involved the first set of sleepless nights. One particular day Bridgette got no sleep, even if Micaiah sang a lullaby or rocked her as gently as she did. Micaiah was kept up the whole night and day with a crying baby who couldn't fall asleep. Sothe felt guilty since he had to attend to an important matter and Micaiah told him to go while she took care of their little Pumpkin. When he returned, he took the crying infant in his arms and told Micaiah to get some rest. What he described as a miracle, Bridgette fell asleep in his arms after a while. He had to pull down his wife's dress and let her nurse, while she slept. He placed her in her cradle for the night and crawled into bed next to his sleeping beloved. Into the early hours of the morning, a little cry was heard in the bedroom. Sothe got up immediately. He then stared at Micaiah's sleeping figure, her silver hair dazzled in the night rays. She had done enough. She needed the rest badly. He got out of bed and walked quickly but quietly to the cradle. Bridgette's hair had grown a little bit, a few strands had grown enough to cover the girl's face. Carefully, he gathered the bundle of blankets around her, picked up the infant and sat at the side of the bed. The child then opened her eyes, still sniffling, staring at him. He just didn't know why she was crying now. Did she need to change? Have her mother feed her? He laid down horizontally with his baby on his chest. No longer crying, Bridgette reached her hand for his forehead and tapped it. Sothe smiled, kissed his baby and rocked her till she finally fell asleep. As he were about to put his little one back in her cradle, Micaiah woke up, a small dark circle around her eyes, breasts swollen and by all means tired.
"Is Pumpkin alright? Probably she wanted to know that we're here..." the silverette whispered, taking the sleeping infant off of her lover and onto her petite figure. Sothe blushed and tried looking away but he found his gaze towards Micaiah as she cradled their little Pumpkin in her arms.
"You're a good daddy you know..?" She teased after she got comfortable. He didn't say anything but rubbed his daughter's back. Micaiah smiled and dozed back to sleep. Sothe looked at the two loves of his life sleep next to him, 'I hope I'm doing a good job at this..' he thought to himself before finally falling asleep.

A few days later, the new parents started having problems with caring for their baby. Micaiah started having problems with milk production and Bridgette started sleeping less in the evenings and nights. During feeding sessions, Micaiah's breast would just stop producing milk for a short moment, and would leak when she didn't need to feed, and this caused Bridgette to start having less sleep. One evening, while both parents laid on their bed with their child sleeping on it comfortably, Sothe noticed the chest area of Micaiah's dress was moist and smelled like breastmilk.
"Hey, dear you're leaking again," Sothe whispered to his wife, hoping to not wake up their baby.
"This is getting annoying. Whenever I need to feed, it stops for no reason, but when I don't need to, it leaks out," Micaiah said softly but annoyed, turning over to reach for the feminine napkins at the side table, and softly pressing it against her nipple, and she moaned in discomfort.
"I asked the physician about your problem," Sothe said after a moment of silence between them,
"And what did she say?"
Sothe paused for a while before continuing, "she said to help with milk production, we should...massage them," he said a little slowly, showing that either he wanted to massage her breasts, or that he is a little embarrassed to, especially with their baby right there.
"Sothe, be mature. I know you want to feel them again. You haven't since before I gave birth," Micaiah replied while smirking a bit. She may have lost some energy after the birth, but her ability to read a person's mind and heart didn't go away. Bridgette opened her golden eyes and looked at her father's blushing face. She knew something was going to happen. The silver haired queen scooped up the green haired infant princess and rested her on her still slightly flabby stomach. Most of the pregnancy weight had been lost, but a bit of fat remained.
"If you really want to play with them so badly, go ahead. Pumpkin won't mind, it's so she can feed normally again," Micaiah whispered softly, moving a little closer to Sothe, giving him the signal to pull down the sides of her dress. He obeyed, slowly exposing her still-a-little-tiny but swollen breasts. Bridgette's left hand moved to her mother's nipple, gripping it tightly, inflicting a bit of pain to Micaiah. But the pain melted away as Sothe started gently rubbing her nipples till he got warm and creamy milk on his hands. Some of the milk splashed on their child's face, which the silverette hastily cleaned off her child's face and let her suck it off of her fingers. Soon after the little massage was done, the baby princess started crying, she was hungry. Sothe took hold of the infant and got her to attach herself to her mother's slightly sore breast, and this time she didn't come off to cry a little or did the milk stop.
"Well looks like someone is satisfied with the little play time you had with me," Micaiah grinned a little at her husband. Sothe pouted childishly and blushed, but didn't hesitate to kiss his beloved on her forehead and rub his child's head. He's going to be a great father, and he already knew Micaiah is a great mother..

*HOLY SH** HOW LONG WAS THAT?! 5 MONTHS OF WAITING?! I'm so so so so sorry that it took this long.. I got writer's block, I had school, personal problems, I got sick (and I still am). I haven't gotten to go to school for the January-March period yet due to a virus in my country :(.
