"Hi, sweetheart." Tara murmured as she lifted her daughter up into her arms and held her close, bouncing her gently, "What's wrong, my love?"
Lucy cooed back gripping tightly to her mother's sleep shirt, which had actually been one of Luke's old t-shirt, though it no longer carried his scent on it, as she began rooting around for her mother's breast.
