"What's so funny? What are you laughing at?!" I ask my daughter as she laughs hysterically. "Is daddy funny? Is daddy funny or something?" I ask in baby talk. She loses it even more.

I flop down on the bed, holding Lucina over me, tossing her gently. I catch her and hug her, she stares in baby awe at me, What's going on inside of that little head of hers? "What? Does daddy have something on his face?" I asked, tickling her.

She laughs again. "I see you two are getting along!" Anna says.

I look to my wife "Ah, you're back!" I sit up and place Lucina in my lap. "How was the meeting?" I ask This seems like it should be reversed...

Anna shrugs "Good. Just plans for the upcoming party, that's all." She says.

I nod "Ok. Someone missed you while you were gone." I say.

Anna rolls her eyes "Are you talking about our daughter? Or yourself?" She asks. Lucina just rocks back and forth in my lap, putting her little hand in her mouth.

I look down at her "Um... both?" I say.

Anna laughs and crawls on the bed next to us "Did someone miss mommy? Did my little Luci miss me?" She asks, tickling the baby's stomach. Lucina giggles uncontrollably.

I smirk "She's only laughing because I warmed her up for you!" I say.

She rolls her eyes "Sure... if you're the reason she's laughing, she's going to have a dry sense of humor when she grows up!" She says.

"Hey! I'll have you know I have a very keen sense of humor, thank you very much!" I say.

Just then, Lucina starts to get a little fussy, "Uh oh." Anna takes her from my lap and cradles her. She continues to be fussy.

"I don't think what you're doing is helping," I say.

She glares at me. She puts her finger near Lucina's mouth, and Lucina starts to suck on it. "Yep, you're hungry. It's feeding time anyway." Anna says. She starts to feed Lucina, which calms the baby down.

"A quality you two share: You get fussy when you're hungry, and you calm down when you're fed," I say.

Anna rolls her eyes "When have I ever done that?!" She asks.

I laugh "Since before we were even engaged!" I say.

"Shut up." She orders. Lucina finishes, as gives a tiny yawn. "I'm going to burp her, then I'm going to put her down for a nap. So no playing with her until she wakes up!" Anna says.

I get off the bed "Another quality you two share: Being scarier than death himself when woken up!" I say.

She glares "If I wasn't holding the baby right now, I'd throw something at you."

I awake in the middle of the night to crying. I groan and flop back down in bed.

I gently smack my husband in the face "Your turn, birthday boy..." I murmur.

"But it's my birthday..." He whimpers.
