I wake up to hear one of my daughters crying rather loudly. Quietly, so not to wake Robin I climb out of bed and over to the crib to see who's crying. Isabella is lying in her crib silently, her eyes open and wriggling about but not crying. I look across to Amelia who's crying non-stop. I scoop her up and hold her in my arms, rocking her and shushing her, trying to get her to go back to sleep. She starts to smack her lips and I let out a groan. I look over to Isabella who's moving her head around and moving silently in her crib.

"I take it you want feeding too?" I whisper to her

She squirms a little in her crib, her face scrunched up and she starts to cry. I know exactly what she's doing. I pick Isabella up, being careful not to drop Amelia and hold them both as they continue to cry.

"Great! So you need feeding and you need feeding and you need feeding and changing! " I say sarcastically as they continue to cry

I hear a scuffling from behind me and turn to see Robin climbing out of bed, rubbing the sleep from his eyes as he walks over to me, switching the light on as he does.

"What's wrong babe?" he asks

"Isabella needs changing and feeding and Amelia needs feeding and won't go back to sleep!" I sigh

"I'll change Isabella and feed her and you can feed Amelia if you like" he offers

"No, it's okay, I can do it, go back to sleep" I reply

"Babe! I'm here to help not to sit around watching you struggle!" he argues

"Fine" I sigh, handing Isabella to him

He takes her into his arms and walks her over to the changing table, lying her down on it and grabbing the wipes and the bag of diapers.

A silent knocking on the door grabs both of our attention. We turn to see Zelena, stood in the doorway, her eyes filled with sleep.

"Is everything alright?" she asks

"Yes, they just want feeding and changing" I nod

"I can help" she offers

"Can you go and make Amelia a bottle please?" I ask her

"Of course, what about Isabella?" she replies, taking Amelia from me

"I think she just wants changing, I'll make her one if she needs one" I reply

She nods and takes Amelia downstairs shushing her as she continues to cry. I open the draw of my wardrobe and grab a fresh purple baby grow for Isabella to change her into. Quietly, I walk back over to Robin as he struggles to put on a fresh diaper. I remove his hands and do it myself, not really sure what I'm doing myself but I show him the best I can and manage to get it right. Then I grab her purple onesie and put it on her, doing up the buttons.

Then I lift her into my arms and kiss her forehead softly.

"All better" I coo

She starts to smack her lips and I groan. I've just changed her!

"What's wrong darling?" Robin asks

"She's hungry" I say

"I'll take her down and make her bottle" he offers

"No I'll do it" I reply, walking down the stairs to Zelena and Amelia
