Zak's POV 3:30A.M.

I yawned as I sat up in the bed. I could hear Alex crying from the nursery. Nick and I decided to put her in the crib tonight, just to see if maybe if it would teach her to take naps in it. Instead of in her swing or our arms. We should have tried during nap time and not bedtime. Getting up and walking to the nursery was a waste of time since we bought a bassinet for our room. I stood up as Nick turned over with a groan. "Want me to get her?" He asked. "You ask now that I'm up and ready to go get her." I said with another yawn. "I didn't realize you were already up." He said with a smile. "You can go down stairs and make her a bottle." I said walking out of the room. I walked into the nursery and turned on the lamp next to the rocker. "Oh, What's wrong, Princess?" I asked picking her up from her crib. She started to settle slightly as I held her to my chest. Nick walked in with a bottle in his hand. I laid her in my arms before taking the bottle from Nick. "Thank you, Babe." I said while kissing his cheek. He was watching his daughter eat. We both were very hypnotized by her. We are still very much amazed that the two of use created such a beautiful baby. "I guess she was hungry." Nick said with a laugh. I looked at the clock that we put on the wall. "It's been about 2 and a half hours since the last time she ate. So she's getting better." I said remembering when we brought her home. It felt like all she did was eat. "I'm going to get the diaper changing kit ready so we can put her in our room." Nick said walking out of the room. I walked over and sat in the rocker. She was eating with her eyes closed. "You may be a pain in the butt sometimes, but I wouldn't change anything." I said to her. I kissed her little brown hair. Nick walked back into the nursery. He grabbed Alex's blanket from the crib. I smiled at him as he turned off the baby monitor. "Grab her paci." I said pointing to where it was in the crib. I slowly stood up and made my way to the master bedroom. I sat on the bed as the baby finished her bottle. Nick walked in and started making the bassinet cozy for our little one before rolling it to my side of the bed. "You have such a wonderful Daddy." I said to Alex. He walked over and gave each of us a kiss before climbing in bed. Alex finished her bottle, so I took it away and began to try and burp her. Once I got what I wanted, plus more, I cleaned her up and placed her in the bassinet. I rubbed her tummy for a moment, since the movement woke her slightly. Once I knew she was asleep I climbed into bed and turned off the lights. Drifting asleep I was going over tomorrows plans. Tomorrow was going to fun...NOT.
