The Summer I Fell in Love

Breakfast in Bed

Hello, everyone! I am back with Chapter 15 of The Summer I Fell in Love. I have been really looking forward to writing about Nick, Jordan, and their new baby! If you like my work, please RATE, REVIEW, and FOLLOW. Enjoy!

Jordan's POV:

It was just past midnight, and I had just gotten comfortable in bed next to Nick, when little Catherine Jane Carraway needed my attention yet again that evening. I got up and dragged my feet back into her nursery. Catherine was just a week old, and even though she woke me up multiple times a night, she was still the sweetest little thing I had ever laid my eyes on.

I made my way over to her crib, and looked down at her. She was swaddled up in her little baby blanket, wailing for my attention.

"What is it my sweet baby?" I cooed at her; "What do you need?"

I scooped her up in my arms, and laid her against my chest. Just like that, the little sobs seemed to disappear.

"Is that all you needed?" I whispered to her; "Did you just need your mommy?"

I sat in the rocking chair, trying my best to lull her to sleep. I still had a hard time believing that I was a mother. In the matter of a week, my personality seemed to have changed completely. I never could have imagined myself cooing at a baby, and using such a soft and delicate voice. These days, it seemed like my only tone of voice.

I swayed the rocker back and forth, rocking my sweet little girl. She cradled her little face into the crook of my neck, which simply melted my heart. Her warm skin against mine was creating an unbreakable bond. Every single second, I found myself falling more deeply in love with Catherine.

I adjusted her so that her head was settled into the crook of my elbow, and I couldn't help myself from gazing at her. Her perfect little eyes were fluttering as she was settling into her sleep, her little lips were the most perfect shape, and her cheeks are so soft and plump. She could almost bring tears to my eyes, that's how perfect she is. I still couldn't believe that this was Nick and I's daughter. The most perfect little girl, and she was ours.

Out of the corner of my eye, I see a figure standing in the doorway. It was Nick, watching the both of us. I smiled at him, and he made his way towards the two of us.

"Shhhhh..." I whispered; "I just got her to go back asleep."

He came right over next to me, and kissed the top of my head, and gazed down at our baby girl. It had only been a week, and Catherine had her father wrapped around her little finger. He grazed his fingertips on her cheeks, and it almost looked like she knew he was there, and a slight grin appeared on her little lips.

Reluctantly, I got up, trying my best not to disturb Catherine, and placed her gently down in her crib. Thankfully, she was undisturbed, and continued her deep sleep. Nick and I stood over the crib for about a minute or two. He wrapped his arm around me, and I placed my head lazily on his shoulder. We had so much love for each other, and our precious baby girl.

Hand in hand, we made our way back to our bedroom. We settled into our bed, and Nick placed a kiss on my temple.

"You're wonderful, did you know that?" He said to me.

I smiled at him; "Well, now I do. What made you say that?"

"Just watching you with Catherine, you're already an outstanding mother. I know how worried you were to bring her home, but darling, you're a natural."

I placed a sweet kiss on his lips; "Thank you darling."

We snuggled up to one another in bed, and quickly drifted off to sleep. Hopefully, Catherine would let us get more than three hours worth.
