Chapter 175 - "Duck Eyes...?"

Clara's PoV

'What are you doing up? It's 5.30am' John scoffed.

'I'm going to go and feed Harry' I said as I pulled my top over my head and grumbled to myself.

'You alright? You've been quiet for the last 20 minutes' he hummed.

We had been up since 4am.

We hadn't been having sex for that long but we might as well have been. However I felt like an idiot.

'Come on tell me? What's up?' He asked with a hum grabbing both of my wrists and making me look him in the eyes. 'Oh god did I hurt you?' He said astonished at himself dropping my wrists quickly and backed away.

'It-- it wasn't your fault. I should know my own limits. I'm still only 3 weeks post birth' I grumbled. 'And anyway I was more concerned about the baby fat more than anything else'

'Fat? Clara Hun you haven't been fat since the day you were born and even then you were average. The last time your were properly fat was 35 years ago when you were a chunky toddler'

'That's not true. I've been pregnant 5 times' I grumbled pulling away from him and sitting on the edge of the bed.

'Hey. I don't care about your weight and neither does anyone else? If you put on 10 stone tomorrow I wouldn't care. And anyway you'll loose the baby pudge. Yourstill really skinny. Especially with the whole packing a kidney thing'

'I know I'm just being silly' I mumbled as he pulled my hair back from neck and out of the way leaving small kisses down my neck. It was quite a satisfying touch and there was no denying I had a bit of asexual appetite since Harry had been born and before but it didn't mean we had to do it again.

We did anyway but that wasn't the point.

'Nice of you to show this morning? You remember you have a baby then?' Linda scoffed as I readied myself to launch at her for being such and inconsiderate cow but John took a firm grip of my shoulders and pushed me into the lounge.

'Who does she think she is? I'm an adult perfectly capable of making my own decisions?' I growled.

'Tea anybody?'

'Yes please but not from you. You'll probably spit in it. Who knows what kind of diseases you have. Who knows where you've been?' I grinned wandering into the kitchen pushing past her where Dad was just about to sterilise a bottle.

'Oh your up? I suppose you'll want to feed him?'

'I should really otherwise my supply might run out'

'I doubt that' Linda grumbled which was a terrible insult because my boobs aren't even that large.

The only reason they have gone up a cup size at the moment is because of all the milk I'm storing.

'Linda go to work' Dad scoffed handing Harry gently over to me as I went in the lounge and started to feed him efficiently.

John sat down next to me and we watched a couple of you tube videos for 10 minutes because Harry was content and I generally needed to occupy my time.

It's amazing how blasé John is about the whole breast feeding thing and indeed Richard actually.

I'm comfortable enough any ways that I could whip my boob out in front of them and start feeding Harry but I was still a little shaken about it in public.

I was never sure how I would be able to handle or contain myself if someone asked me to stop.

Evie wasn't a big fan of seeing it but she's 10 so I can understand that but Avia wasn't overly bothered but I supposed that she was a bit more mature and understood things.

'How are the kids?' I asked suddenly out of interest having been thinking about them.

'Going to Lego land today' John said as I looked up and poured.

I would have loved to have gone to Lego land but I think the day at home might do me some good - of course Dad and I have a lot of paper work to get through and documents and funeral planning to do.

'Who's taking them?'

'Richard and Lilly and I think George that friend of yours might be tagging along? Lilly and him seem to be getting on like a house on fire since you introduced them to the nursery crèche. And Richard seems to like him' John hummed.

'Wow. 3 adults and six kids plus one of those adults are pregnant that doesn't fill me with much confidence on how the day is going to go'

'It'll be fine. They know what they are doing' John chuckled as Harry fidgeted which meant that he was done, plus I could feel he wasn't actually eating anymore and sat him up for a little burp.

He had such an adorable little face when he had wind and shockingly his eyes were wide open today.

'Aww. Look. He has your eyes' Dad hummed. 'There like little poignant duck eyes' he said.

'Yeah. There all Mums that's for sure. All my kids have brown eyes like mine. It's like a trait of the family I guess'

'He's such a cute little duck' Dad said as he crouched down and stroked Harry's cheek which made him promptly spit up but he then gave us all a little smile.

I've never seen my Dad interact with a human or a baby or a child like this. He had been good with the others but he seemed to have taken a fond likening to little Harry here.

'Oh I dunno. He's lot a little look of John to him. There's an awful lot of that nose in him' Dad said with a chuckle.

'He's smiling at you Dad' I laughed. 'That's the first time he's smiled properly at us' I laughed.

'Well that's the circle of life I suppose. One door closes and another door opens' he chuckled.

'I just wish Gran had gotten to see him'
