“You’re excited for bath time? Yes? You’re trying to kick mommy,” Charlie smiled. N'Jada was wiggly and excitable, on her back with arms reaching out and legs kicking as Charlie unsnapped the onesie gifted by Hennessy. “Over the arms and the head,” Charlie spoke. The onesie was rolled off of the baby’s arms and over her curly head. She had a head full of thick curls just like her mama.
“Cold Jada? Are we cold? We chillay,” Charlie cooed wrapping N'Jada warmly in a fluffy white microfiber towel before holding her to her chest. N'Jada’s hand immediately drew to her mouth and she began sucking her thumb.
“Mommy need to get your pacifier. Thumbsucking is a hard habit to break once you start and I am not about to let you run down the path to braces if I can prevent it now.”
Charlie put the binky in N'Jada’s mouth, but it was rejected and spit out repeatedly. N'Jada was starting to get annoyed so Charlie let it go to avoid a meltdown.
“You win this round, little girl, but don’t get used to it.”
N'Jada was more focused on her thumb than on Charlie’s conversation. “Fine, ignore me. We’ll see,” Charlie mumbled cuddling N'Jada with closer with a kiss to the baby’s forehead. Charlie prepped the bath basin with warm water, testing the temperature on her skin before sitting N'Jada in the water. With one hand holding her head, Charlie used the other hand to bathe her suddenly calm child.
“Let the rain fall down and wake my dreams. Let it wash away my sanity cuz I wanna feel the thunder I wanna scream. Let the rain fall down, I’m coming clean,” Charlie sang as N'Jada yawned from her head to her toes. Drying N'Jada, Charlie laid her out and gave her a proper massage with the gentle baby lotion recommended by Angel. N'Jada closed her eyes, falling right to sleep. Of course, that thumb went directly back to her mouth.
Erik entered Charlie’s bathroom and over her shoulder at the sleeping infant before stroking his thumb gently over the babe’s head in silent adoration. That was when he noticed N'Jada’s thumb stuck in her gummy mouth.
“..Hell nah… Charlie,” he whispered gesturing for her to step aside to speak away from the baby. “What’s that about?”
“What’s what about?”
“Thumbsucking.”
“Babies do that. You ought to be used to it. She sucks her toes too, flexible little thing. If I could do that, I wouldn’t need you to d-”
“My baby not finna be a thumbsucker I hate that shit. No. We breaking that habit. What if her teeth grow in crooked? Her whole gums can be messed up.”
“I thought the same thing. She don’t like the paci. I guess we can try teething rings and if that doesn’t work we wait a year to see if she grows out of it.”
Erik stared at N'Jada peacefully asleep before lifting her carefully. “I’m taking my baby,” he said folding her gently into the black baby wrap on his chest. Charlie raised her hands in surrender. Everyone wanted to take her baby, she was used to it. Might as well let the daddy have a turn. N'Jada’s small head laid sweetly against Erik’s chest and he cuddled his chin into her hair, bouncing ever so lightly. Charlie watched his back as he left the room, completely wrapped up in N'Jada and whispering quietly in her ear.
