I held Lee in my arms, rocking him as I tried to get him to sleep. I was paggered, being that it was nearly three in the morning. Leigh was dead to the world, of course, and the little one wouldn't stop fussing.

"S'okay. S'okay, pet. Shh... Ye mam's here," I whisper to the infant, planting a tired kiss on his forehead. His eyes were screwed closed as he moves about, whining.

I still can't believe that, at just 21, I'm a mother. A mother to the love of my life's child.

Since we left the hospital, Leigh and I took turns being kept up by the baby. She had him last night, so I have him now. Though, I could swear he's better with me than her since he literally screams whenever she tries to calm him down.

It freaked her out at first, but after a few more days, it became manageable.

Pez and Jesy helps out as well; they would watch him for a few hours while we get things together or just need a breather. Me mam warned me that parenthood wasn't easy, but I had no idea it would be this taxing.

Though, it's all worth it since I'm now carrying, what Leigh calls, a miracle in my arms at this moment.

"Are ye hungry?" Funny enough, he almost immediately calms down, making me shake my head in amusement. His eyes then open and I couldn't help the smile on my face.

He's so beautiful.

I carry him to the kitchen, humming to keep him from getting aggravated again. I pick up the bottle she had made for him a few hours ago and popped the top off before offering it to him.

He latches on hungrily, staring up at me with wide eyes. I giggle lightly, trying not to disrupt him, "We were clammin', aye?" I say with a smile. He sighs, the corners of his mouth twitching up slightly before relaxing.

I proceed with my humming again, holding back a yawn as I drag us to the living room. I sit in the dimly lit room, leaning back in the easy chair. My eyelids grow heavy as Lee's suckling noises echo through the room.

I rock him in my arms just as gently as before, using my chin to hold his bottle. My eyes droop close a few times, but I force them back open. I look down at our baby, meeting his big, brown eyes.

We have a little staring contest before he blinks slowly and looks away. I gasp quietly, "Did you just roll ye eyes at me?" Lee does his little sigh/laugh again and I shake my head slightly.

Once he was through with his bottle, I sit him up on my shoulder and began burping him. He lets out a cute little belch and I smile, "Big boy."

I bring him back in my arms and rocked him gently like I was before. While looking down at him, I realized that he didn't look tired at all. I sigh, feeling the polar opposite than he looks. "Are you not tired?" I ask the baby.

He giggles before putting his hand in his mouth, looking up at me. I smile again, being that I could never get tired of his laugh. "Wanna watch a filim of a sort, pet? Blink once if yes, twice if no," I say. He stares at me unblinking for a moment before blinking once.

"Aladdin?" I ask him, grabbing the remote to turn on the tele. I go to Netflix and began searching for the desired movie.

Some time later, I'm suddenly brought out of my accident sleep.

I clear my eyes of blurriness before I look around and see Lee fast asleep between us, a bit closer to the slumbering Leigh-Anne than me. I smile, shifting to my side to get a better look at my loves.
