The sound of crying woke me up and I rolled out of bed. "Daddy's here," I cooed, picking up Emily from her crib. I rocked her back and forth in my arms and started changing her as Alex heated up a bottle.
"I run it under hot water right?" He asked quietly.
"Yeah," I finished changing Emily and cradled her again. "Make two, Michael is up."
"Really?" He asked handing me a bottle.
"Yes, he doesn't tend to cry if I'm already up." I said.
"I'm so sorry that I haven't been around to help you." He said picking up Michael.
"It's okay, you're busy, I get that." I said putting Emily back in her crib.
"But you're here with them every day." He said.
"Well I am a stay at home dad." I said laughing.
"I know it's just," he paused, "it's been almost six months since they've been born and I still can't make a bottle."
"Well you remember their names and you remember their age," I laughed, "and you can change them, that's all I need from you parenting wise. I can't pay the bills if you aren't working."
"I know, but,"
I cut him off, "No buts, I need you working." I kissed Alex's forehead and took Michael from him, setting the little baby in his crib.
"I love you John." He said quietly.
"I love you more." I said, crawling under the covers with him. I fell asleep almost instantly.
