Made in the moonlight

The first moon

The date was January 5th. It was her first ever moon that she had seen. Although with her little twinkling eyes she couldn't really see it. Her mother was sweating, but was all together happy that she had given birth to a beautiful young girl called Lydia. Lydia's little eyes closed as she fell asleep.
A couple of hours later Lydia was being taken home by her mother and father. Her father had never looked so happy and so in love as he looked at their little baby. Her mother to be honest looked relieved at the whole process being over!
They arrived home and placed little Lydia in her cot and she faded off into a deep sleep. Her mother and father flopped into bed and fell asleep themselves.
10 minutes after everyone had settled down, Lydia started crying.
"Don't worry I'll check on her" whispered her dad grudgingly. "Thank you." Replied her mum in the same whispery tone as she drifted back to sleep.
Her dad went in and picked her up burping her. She eventually stopped crying and went back to her cosy cot and fell asleep.
Another 10 minutes passed and the same thing happened all over again. They could tell that the night was going to be rough.
Lucas, Lydia's dad looked out of the window gazing at the bright moon of he r daughters first night and remarked to himself "The moon really is beautiful tonight. What a stunning first moon eh little Lia aren't you a lucky little girl?" Lydia replied with a tiny little cry as if to say she didn't really care. Lucas went back to his bed and rested his head next to Suzanne his wife.
The moon shone over the room the whole night and Lucas didn't sleep at all. He considered waking up Suzanne but he looked at her and saw she needed her sleep and he thought he shouldn't deprive her of it. He lay there in bed thinking about all of the things that are going to happen with their new little girl. All the memories. All the good times that are yet to come. He felt like the most privileged man in the world. Amazing wife and beautiful little daughter, but little did he know the future held a lot in store for him and his new found family.
After a while he was fed up with not being able to sleep he got up and went to play with Lydia seeing as she wasn't sleeping either. They were playing silent hide and seek and Lucas had to find Lydia which wouldn't be hard as she had no idea what has going on and could only crawl. He had finished counting, but he saw a light on in his bedroom. He went in to see Suzanne cuddling Lydia and putting her to sleep. Suzanne looked up and said "I love you." Lucas replied back
"I love you too. I'll put her back to bed after you've cuddled so you can get some rest."
Suzanne handed Lydia over to Lucas and he put her back in her little pastel pink cot. "Night my little Lia. Sleep well my darling." Said Lucas.
He went back into their bedroom and lay next to Suzanne. Lucas leaned over and kissed Suzanne and said "Goodnight my love. "
"Goodnight" She replied and they all fell asleep in the blink of an eye.

In the morning Lucas was the first to wake and he went and took Lydia out of her cot and fed her some sweetcorn baby food and made Suzanne breakfast in bed. Her walked in to the bedroom and gave her the food and he came back out to see Lydia's face covered in baby food. "What a mess!" He said in a joke full way.
Lydia giggled and looked at her dad mischievously as the bowl of baby food fell out of her little hands.
