"Mummy, mummy" i grumbled, as the bed bounced around, a small body suddenly landing on top of mine. I pull open my eyes and smile at the toothy grin of Ellie, her face inches from mine. "Hi" she squeals, rolling to my side and nestling in to the duvet.
I wrap an arm around her, pulling her closer to me and planting a small kiss on her forehead, "good morning baby, where is Daddy?"
"With Jo, she was hungry" she smiles, sitting up and shaking her hair out her face. I wrap my arms around her body and lift her onto my hip, swinging my body out of the bed. She rests her head on my shoulder, her feet kicking back and forth.

"Hey Ellie, do you want breakfast?" Brad grins as i place Ellie on the floor, she nods her head and climbs up onto a chair.
"Where's Jo? And Thomas?" I ask, leaning against the counter top.
"In the living room, they've both been fed and changed" i nod, staying still for a moment before spinning on my heel and walking into the living room. I run a hand through my hair before pushing the door open. My eyes swing around the room before settling upon a woman sitting on the sofa. Her hair was swept over one shoulder, a mug of tea in her hand. Her head turns slowly, her smile falling to a frown, then quickly returning to a smile. "Oh hi, sorry, i'm Daisy" she chuckles lightly, standing up, placing her tea on the coffee table, "You must be Zoe" she sticks her hand in front of me, and i take it loosely and shake it.
"Yeah, sorry this is awkward I didn't know you'd be in here"
"Oh no, its fine, honestly, i was just cooing over the newborn "
"Jo. Her names Jo" i smile weakly, awkwardly stepping around her towards Thomas, who was sat on the floor, opening and closing his hands. I smile at him, and pick him up, resting him on my chest, his head leaning on the crook of my neck. His podgy arms push away from me slightly, his back rigid. A small gurgle escapes his mouth, and he reaches out behind me with one hand. I turn around, and face Daisy, who was still smiling without fault. I sigh slightly, kissing Thomas' cheek, before handing him over to Daisy, "I think he wants you"
She takes him from me, bouncing him in her arms slightly, as her eyes meet mine for an moment.
"Hello little man, shall we go see Daddy?" She cooes, walking him towards the kitchen. I flop down on the sofa, and watch over Jo as she kicks her legs sleepily in the moses basket.
"I think its just me and you for a while baby" i sigh, placing my hand on hers, as she locks her entire hand around one finger. A smile etches onto my face, as she slowly falls asleep. Her movements slowly stop as she falls asleep, and i curl up on the sofa, watching her with content. Happiness floods through me, finally feeling something positive in months.
But my mood was soon disturbed with the sounds from the kitchen, the giggles and laughs, the squeals of delight and the chatter as they ate. It was as though they'd forgotten me and Jo existed, and that was probably the reality i'd face for a long time.
