Cheryl held Dominic as he drank from his bottle.

Toni was out getting groceries, so Cheryl stayed behind with Dominic.

"Okay, Dom. It's time for a nap." Cheryl yawned, placing the boy on her shoulder so she could burp him.

After he burps, Chery places him in his rocker, buckling him up.

Dominic smiled as Cheryl made silly faces at him, he even laughed a bit.

"You laughing at me?" Cheryl asked.

Dominic laughed again, sucking on the pacifier Cheryl placed in his mouth.

Toni entered with bags, causing Cheryl to jump up and help her.

"Thanks, baby." Toni sighed, placing the bags on the counter.

"You go to relax, I'll put it away." Cheryl said, pecking Toni's lips.

Toni smiled, going to sit with her son.

"Hey, baby boy! You missed me?" Toni asked as the boy smiled again.

"He's supposed to be taking a nap. But, oh well." Cheryl chuckled from the kitchen.

"Guess who I ran into at the grocery store?" Toni said, picking up Dominic before walking into the kitchen.

"Who?" Cheryl raised her brow.

"One of the girls from my old high school." Toni sighed.

"Really? What did she say?" Cheryl stopped, looking at her wife as she held their son.

"She approached me. At first, I thought she was still ignorant, but she actually apologized." Toni explained.

"Wow." Cheryl chuckled.

"Yeah, She said that she's married now and has two daughters." Toni explained, kissing Dominic's cheek, making him giggle.

"He just learned that." Toni smiled.

"I know, he's so smart." Cheryl smiled, kissing his hair before going back to putting away the food.

"He's crying again." Toni groaned, hearing Dominic's cries from the room.

"I'll get him. Go back to sleep." Cheryl yawned, grabbing her robe before shuffling into Dominic's room.

"What's wrong, Papa?" Cheryl asked, picking him up.

Cheryl smiled his diaper, cringing at the smell.

She quickly changed her diaper, smiling when he stopped crying.

She gently placed him back into his crib but quickly picked him back up when he started crying again.

"What's the matter?" Cheryl huffed.

She decided to just let him sleep with them.

Toni woke up to Domonic laying in between her and Cheryl.

But he was awake, sucking on Toni's finger.

"Baby boy, no." Toni whispered, wiping her hand on the covers.

Dominic started crying, kicking his feet against the bed.

Toni sighed, picking the boy up to make him a bottle.

"Shh, you don't want to wake Mama." Toni whispered as Dominic kept crying.

After he had stopped, Toni had finished the bottle, putting it in his mouth.

Toni yawned, carrying the boy back into the bedroom, sitting on the bed as she feed him.

Just a lil sum!💗
