Grace G POV

I held Jewl in my arms carefully as I rocked back and forth in my chair. I was getting really sleepy and I didn't know where Taylor was.

Jewl was asleep so I laid her down on the couch with two pillows beside her so she wouldn't fall off.

I grabbed the crib set and started to set it up quickly. I fumbled with some pieces before it came together.

I fixed the sheets and grabbed the blanket we bought for Jewl earlier and set it down. I grabbed her pacifier and clipped it to her onesie and set her down in the crib, still asleep.

I adjusted the mobile at the top of the crib before pushing the crib to the side so I could lay down.

I set my head on the couch pillow, as my eyes got heavy I heard footsteps down the stairs and I looked up.

"Hey!" Taylor whisper shouted and smiled at the crib I set up and I yawned. "I'm going to grab some dinner for tonight." He said twirling his keys and I nodded as I set my head on the pillow.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

I heard faint crying and my eyes shot open as the mother in me forced me over to Jewl. I rocked her back and forth and gave her the pacifier.

I looked at my phone that said 6:00pm. Jewl had quiet down and I began to smell pasta, I smiled knowing it was Taylor.

I walked in with Jewl on my hip and he kissed her forehead. "Why hello there, ladies." Taylor smiled and I chuckled as he stirred the pasta.

"Do you know where the baby food is? I should feed her." I answered and he pointed to the table, I took one that said Peaches and Apple and stirred it around.

I set her up in the high chair and she squealed, causing Taylor and I to laugh on cue.

I feed her in silence, besides the annual gurgle or boiling water sound from the kitchen. When I finished feeding Jewl, Taylor gave me a bowl of pasta and is smiled.

"Thanks Dad."

"No problem, Mom." He answered and kissed my forehead.
