Almost Unbreakable

I snapped my eyes open hearing loud cries sound from the crib next to Daisy and I's bed.

"It's your turn." She mumbled against her pillow. I chuckled and sat up. Carthan was proving to be a restless baby, and he wakes us up almost every night. I kissed Daisy's forehead and stood up. I grabbed the wailing baby from his place and hoisted him over my shoulder.

Carthan was now two months old, and I was loving every moment of him growing up.

"Shh Bucko, your okay." I whispered, bouncing him. I felt his stomach grumble and chuckled. "Ah your hungry." I walked to the fridge and grabbed a bottle of Daisy's milk we keep on hand. I ran it under warm water from the faucet, and walked to couch. I sat down and held the bottle to his mouth. He immediately started drinking and I smiled. "Starving huh?"

He cooed around the bottle and I chuckled.

"Do you even know how tired your mommy is? She needs to sleep. I bet she's passed out." I laughed.

"Or I'm standing here watching my boys." I heard from the doorway. I looked up to see Daisy, a small smile spread across her face. "You two are adorable."

"Not as adorable as you in that tee shirt." I grinned as she walked over to me. She wrapped her arm around my neck and laid her head on my shoulder. She ran a hand through his little tuft of brown hair. Carthan was looking up at us with wide blue eyes, and I swear I fell in love with a little more than before in that moment.

"He's beautiful." She said.

"He's us." I said, tilting the bottle back. His little fingers reached for it and I brought it back to his lips.

"He just ate a few hours ago." She chuckled.

"It's all that crawling he's been doing lately." I said, sticking my tongue out at him. He giggled, pulling away from the bottle. I smiled and she grabbed it from my hand. She stood up and took it back to the fridge.

Carthan had already fallen asleep again so I stood up and followed her back to the bedroom. I laid down on the bed with him still in my arms, and she snuggled into my side.

I couldn't help but smile knowing we were a family.

Forever.
