My wife and I; we just got married.

We decided it was time to start a family, and she wanted to have a baby. Nine months later and we have a baby, Rose.

"She's amazing," My wife whispered to me.

But she wouldn't stop crying.

Banging things on the table, screaming, crying, keeping my wife up at night.

I couldn't let her be like this.

The next night it was more peaceful. "Honey," My wife said to me at 2am, "Why is Rose not crying? I mean. She always does at this time of night"

"I don't know. She's probably sleeping, it's alright"

Next morning I woke to a scream.

Our child was not in her crib, and a note that said "It's better" in fine print was found in her bed.

I think we'll be much happier,
