Time Away

Parents

"Si come here baby!" I said excitedly to my baby boy. He looked at me and crawled the other way.
"Josiah!" I was taken aback.
He screamed and giggled to himself. I laughed picking him up and kissing his adorably fat cheeks.
"My baby is getting so big and mean to his mommy!" He grabbed my hair as I kissed his belly.
"Ow!" I hollered. Just then, Daniel walked in the apartment.
"Hey you gu- oh my gosh!" He rushed over taking Josiah from me as I fixed my hair.
"His grip is powerful." I sighed, rubbing my head and plopping on the couch.
Daniel kissed Josiah's cheek.
"Yeah. Hey you ready? Kale said he'd watch Si for us."
I looked at him puzzled.
"It's noon, what am I getting ready for?" I questioned.
"House hunting BAAAYYY-BEEEE!" He hollered excitedly. Josiah clapped wildly, screaming along with his father.
I laughed as I stood to my feet.
"Let me change. I feel like a dress today." I said.
"You look beautiful in whatever you wear S." he came close to me and kissed my lips tenderly.
I went to my room to change into an all white lace romper and tan wedges.

"Okay so I changed my mind on the dress. How do I look?" I spun for Daniel and Josiah and took a look at myself in the mirror.
Josiah clapped again and laughed, playing with his toys on the floor. Daniel couldn't stop smiling.
"I love it S." He said walking up behind me.
"You're looking good babe." He kissed my neck as I watched in the mirror. An arm snaked across my waist as I felt him press up against me. He kissed the back of my head once, firmly. His arms wrapped around me looking right at me in the mirror.
"So beautiful." He whispered.
He started humming a tune as we swayed side to side. I closed my eyes and laid my head back on to his chest.
Just then Josiah screamed at the top of his lungs crying, jolting us both.
"Aww baby, what's wrong?" I ran over to him, picking him up and calming him down. He stopped almost immediately and just looked at the both of us like we were crazy.
"You're an interesting kid Si." His dad said, playing with Josiah's fingers. Josiah grabbed Daniel's hand and began examining the size of his father's hands.
I giggled. "You boys ready?"
"Kale!! I'm gonna put Si in his playpen! We're headed to see some houses!" I hollered to Kale. Wherever he was.
He swiftly emerged from the guest bedroom and snatched up his nephew.
"Come on little man!" He cooed. He took some of my baby's toys and went right back into the guest room.
Daniel took my hand and led me out of the apartment.
