Elounor's baby

Father and daughter

Louis' proflie:

After both Eleanor and Honey were cleaned up, they were lying in bed. Honey was wearing a plain white onesie with a matching hat and was wrapped up in a blue blanket with footballs on it.

Eleanor was cooing over the tiny girl in her arms. "She beautiful."

I sat next to her in the bed and wrapped my arm around her. "She is. I can't believe she's here."

"Do you want to hold her?"

I nodded and unwrapped my arm from around El. "Yeah."

Eleanor put the tiny newborn in my arms. Honey opened her eyes and looked around. She had my eyes.

"She's got my eyes." I smiled holding Honey a little closer to my chest.

There was a knock at the door.

"Come in." El said.

Mum, Dan, Lottie, Fizzy, Pheobe, Dasiy and Eleanor's parents came in.

"Can we see her?" Lottie asked.

Me and El nodded and everyone came closer to the bed.

"She's beautiful," Mum smiled. "What's her name?"

"Honey Johanna Penelope Rose Tomlinson." Eleanor answered holding Honey's tiny hand.

After a while everyone went to bed, leaving me and Eleanor with Honey.

"She's so small." Eleanor said when I gave Honey back to her.

I smiled at the blue eyed baby and kissed her forehead. "She's also adorable."

Honey yawned and closed her eyes.

"I think she's tired." I whispered.

Eleanor slowly got up and layed Honey down in the light pink Moses basket that was on the bench at the foot of the bed.

"Sleep tight baby." Eleanor softy uttered.

She lied back down on the bed and I turned off the lights.

"Good night, El."

"Good night, Lou."

--------------------------------------------------

Around midnight I was still wide awake while Eleanor was fast asleep. I slowly cawled to the foot fo the bed and looked into the Moses basket and saw Honey was wide awake too.

"Hey Honey bee," I whispered picking her up. "What are you doing awake?"

I carfully crawled back to the top of the bed and lied back on the pillows with Honey on my chest.

"Me and mummy were excited to meet you," I muttered to the baby. "I've been learning loads of songs to sing to you. Want me to sing you one?"

Honey just looked up at me.

"I'll take that as a yes."

"If you leap awake in the mirror of a bad dream

And for a fraction of a second you can't remember where you are

Just open your window and follow your memory upstream

To the meadow in the mountain where we counted every falling star

I believe a light that shines on you will shine on you forever

And though I can't guarantee there's nothing scary hiding under your bed

I'm gonna stand guard like a postcard of a Golden Retriever

And never leave 'til I leave you with a sweet dream in your head

I'm gonna watch you shine

Gonna watch you grow

Gonna paint a sign

So you'll always know

As long as one and one is two

There could never be a father

Who loved his daughter more than I love you

Trust your intuition

It's just like goin' fishin'

You cast your line and hope you get a bite

But you don't need to waste your time

Worryin' about the market place

Try to help the human race

Struggling to survive its harshest night

I'm gonna watch you shine

Gonna watch you grow

Gonna paint a sign

So you'll always know

As long as one and one is two

There could never be a father

Who loved his daughter more than I love you

I'm gonna watch you shine

Gonna watch you grow

Gonna paint a sign

So you'll always know

As long as one and one is two

There could never be a father

Who loved his daughter more than I love you."

Honey's eyes were shut and she was curled up in my arms. I smiled down at her and dozed off.
