SPLIT: Big Book Of All My OC OneShots Vol 3 (BF)

43: Little Maria Crumb

*Dennis, My Oc Elizabeth (AU of my AU world - What if baby Maria, Dennis Jr's twin never really came home alive?) (No sex fic )

It had been a few weeks since Dennis and Elizabeth had come home with Baby Dennis and were still mourning the loss of their baby girl who hadn't made it. Dennis was starting to notice Elizabeth was acting strangely, she kept talking to the empty space next to little Dennis's crib and kept hearing baby cries when everyone was sound asleep it was starting to worry him slightly.

She was in their room on the bed cooing and speaking softly to just a baby blanket laying in front of her "Aren't you the sweetest girl, yes you are"

His heart broke as he watched her from the doorway.

"Hey Dennis babe" she says happily.

"Hi sweetheart" he whispered walking over to her and kissing her softly.

"Dennis Jr isn't up yet, can't feed him yet but I fed you sweetie pie" she smiles down at the blanket and kisses it. The blanket was all wet also.

"Lizzy...there isn't a baby in there" he told her carefully knowing this was going to be a sensitive subject to talk about.

"Oh babe don't be silly, she even just ate, didn't you my sweetheart" she pets the wet blanket softly.

"Liz...look at me, your not holding a baby" he said softly holding her hand softly.

"Please don't tell me that.." she tears up.

"I'm so sorry, I don't want to but...we only came home with one baby Liz, I'm so sorry" he said his voice cracked as her said it.

"Oh my I got breast milk all over this blanket again, I better go clean it.." she says quickly.

Dennis watched her leave sadly not knowing what to do to help her "I'm so sorry baby girl I wish we didn't lose you" he said staring out the window and looking at the stars.

Dennis Jr. started to stir in his crib after a long nap, he always seemed to sleep a lot and was a quiet baby then some.

Dennis got up to see him "Hey little man, it's okay" he cooed picking him up gently and rocking him gently "Are you feeling hungry huh?" he asked him.

Little Dennis mouths his hand as if he was saying yes.

"Okay, lets go find your momma" he whispered kissing his head softly and going downstairs to find Elizabeth.

She was just finishing adding all the dirty laundry to the washer "Oh Hey, there's my sweet little man"

Little Dennis made a cute little cry of joy when he heard her voice, Dennis handed him to her "I think he might be hungry" he told her looking down at his son.

Elizabeth takes him and goes into the living room, she sits down with him in her arms and lets him suckle "There now, my sweet boy"

Dennis watched them with a mixture of happiness and sadness that their son had come into the world alone.

She looks up at Dennis and smiles "What, do you want a turn too?" she jokes.

Dennis smiled joining them on the sofa "It's just nice to see you bonding with our baby" he told her.

"Well that's one of my callings in life is to be there for our babies whenever they need me"

He kissed her softly "And you're the best at it"

"Oh my darling thank you" she kisses him back.

"I love you more and more each day, your so strong baby"
