Mila slumbers peacefully in bed beside me. Her pink lips are parted with each deep breath she takes. The sun leaking through the window casts beautiful rays of light across her pink cheeks, highlighting the blonde of her hair. My tiny pea just seems so peaceful. I hate to disturb her, so I lay in silence while stroking her cheek with my thumb. She nuzzles her face into my hand in her sleep, wiggling her chubby body closer to mine.
"I have to go into the office really quick. I'll be back in an hour or two. Will you be okay with Mila while I'm out?" Theo whispers as he walks out of the bathroom, running a towel through his shaggy, blonde hair.
Tiny droplets of water cling to his sculpted chest. I subconsciously lick my lips, watching the water run in rivulets down to that 'V' below his belly button. Theo catches me checking him out and laughs saying, "You're drooling, babe."
"What? I can't help it. You look like you were made by some Greek god." I can feel my cheeks heat, a fine blush appearing on my cheeks. Theo and I have been married since we were in our early twenties, but I just can't help but ogle him. He moves fluidly towards the closet, leaving the door open so I can watch him drop his towel. This mans ass. It's unfair how round it is. Many women would kill for an ass like that.
"You got a bubble butt." I comment as I sit up and lean against the headboard so I can watch the free show.
Theo turns to the side and smacks his own butt playfully. "This ol' thing?"
I'm laughing at this point. I love when he's playful like this. Apparently, my laughter is enough to wake my daughter. Theo's quick to close the closet door so Mila doesn't get an eyeful. She wiggles closer to me in bed and nuzzles her face into my outer thigh. I run my fingers through her hair, letting her peacefully wake up. She went to bed not feeling all that great. Theo and I managed to get some medicine into her before she went to sleep. I'm hoping that helps.
Mila lifts her head and slowly blinks her eyes open. I watch with a peaceful smile on my face as she yawns and wiggles closer to my leg. "Good morning, pea. Did you have sweet dreams?" I whisper.
My baby slowly sits up and fists her hands, bringing them up to rub the sleep out of her hazel eyes. When she's finally fully awake, a beautiful smile crosses her face when she sees me. Every morning with her is like this. I get a smile as soon as she's fully conscious. "Hai, Mama."
She climbs her way onto my lap, nuzzling her face into my chest. "Miwa dweam dat chu an' Dada gu 'immin."
"You dreamt that Daddy and I went swimming? That's so cool. We're you and Kai there too?"
"Nu. Ownly chu an' Dada." Mila nods seriously and reaches up to play with a messy brown strand of my hair. She twirls it around her tiny, chubby finger. Ever since we first adopted Mila, she's been seriously obsessed with my hair.
Theo makes his exit out of the closet and comes closer to the bed. He's wearing his usual office outfit. A suit with a black tie. The material is perfectly tailored to his body, defining his ass and muscles. I am one lucky woman. "Dada!" Mila squeals when she notices Theo approaching us.
"Come give me a kiss, ladybug. I have to go to the office." He holds his arms out towards our daughter in invitation. She doesn't waste a second scrambling off my lap and jumping into his arms. He holds her close, swaying his body back in forth.
"You be good for Mommy, okay? Can you do that for me?"
"Yesth, Dada. Miwa be gud!" It's clear to see that Mila adores her father. The way that she looks up at him is like she's staring at a god. I guess almost every little girl adores their fathers, though. I think it's a little bit different for Mila, though. She never had a good father and Theo is showing her what a true father figure is really like. She idolizes him.
"Give Dada a kiss right here." Theo taps his cheek and Mila giggles, leaning up in his arms to press a kiss to his stubbly cheek. "And another one here." He points to his opposite cheek and she repeats the kiss. "One more here." Theo pokes his forehead, Mila once again following his words.
Once kisses are given out, Theo gives her a butterfly kiss, then hands her back to me with a lingering kiss on my own lips. "See you later, babe. Bye, baby." Theo waves and leaves the room, shutting the door behind him.
Mila plops down on her butt next to me, her lip poking out in a pout. The whimper that she makes is heartbreaking. "He'll be back soon, baby. I promise. Why don't we go downstairs, get some breakfast, and head back up here to have some breakfast in bed? You can even have some of Mommy's milky."
That seems to appease her. She stretches her arms out to me in a signal to be picked up. I lift Mila and head downstairs to make an easy meal. Luna is nowhere in sight when I get down there. "Do you want to help me feed Luna?"
My baby nods happily and I squat to place her on the floor. She toddles off towards the large plastic bin we keep Luna's food in. I help Mila open the container, using her hand to grab the scoop. One scoop in the morning and one at night. "Ere Wuna?"
"I don't know, baby. Probably in Kai's room. She'll come down when she's hungry." Luna has been hanging out in Kai's room recently. Those two have formed an adorable bond.
"Miwa bewwy hunwry." Mila complains while hobbling off towards the fridge. Her diaper sags, making her walk like a penguin. Yeah, I'm going to have to change that after I get us some breakfast.
"Do you want a breakfast sandwich or waffles?" I bought some freezer food that can be put in the microwave for occasions that I don't feel like cooking. Waffles, sandwiches, pancakes, and french toast.
"Da 'wich!" Mila points towards the sausage, egg, and cheese sandwich and I nod, popping it in the microwave.
***
Once we're back upstairs and Mila is no longer in a messy diaper, we sit side by side in bed to eat. Cartoons are blaring on the television and Mila seems content. She smacks happily on her breakfast while I drink some of my orange juice. "Do you remember what Mama told you about chewing with your mouth closed?"
"Mhm." Mila nods and continues to chew with her mouth closed. Good, I can't stand the sound of smacking lips.
"Don't tell Dada I let you eat in the bed. He thinks you leave crumbs behind." In reality, it's true. She does leave crumbs. That's why I make her eat on Theo's side.
"Nu twell Dada." She nods and goes back to eating. A few minutes of peaceful silence pass as I stare down at Mila. She seems to be feeling better. That medicine probably helped. I still don't know what was wrong with her, but whatever it is seems to be resolved. Hopefully, she stays okay for the rest of the week. As much as I love Mila, she's a lot to handle when she's not feeling well.
"Mama?" The sweet voice I love so much asks.
"Yes?"
Mila points to my chest and I nod, inviting her onto my lap. She tosses her half eaten breakfast onto her plate, then scrambles her way onto me. I chuckle at her exuberance and lift my shirt. My pea's eyes widen when she sees my breast. She acts like she doesn't get milk whenever she wants it. If Mila could, she would live on my breast.
"Wan dat one." A tiny finger pokes my left breast, pressing her pointy nail into my sensitive skin.
"Mama needs to trim your nails." I whisper more to myself than her. She stares up at me, then leans in to latch herself. I help her a little bit by supporting my breast. Mila watches the television as she drinks her fill. I can actually feel the pressure decreasing in my breast as she drains me. It's an odd, but not unpleasant sensation. It hurts when my breasts are full.
"There you go, my love." My voice is nothing but a soft coo as I slowly rock Mila. Her body is warm and comfortable against mine, adding to the peacefulness of this moment. Nursing Mila is one of my favorite times of the day. It calms the both of us.
A few more moments is all it takes for Mila to slowly start closing her eyes. I would rather she didn't nap right now, but I'm tired as well. We'll just nap until Theo gets home. That should be okay.
