Chapter 1: First Time Home
Lindsey smiled as she parked the car in the parking lot of their apartment. She turned to her blind boyfriend/fiancée Ed Kennedy.
"That's us home Ed" She stated happily.
Ed smiled.
"Cool, let's go get Sharon settled" He replied.
Sharon Willows Kennedy, Ed and Lindsey's newborn daughter. Soon they got out of the car, with Ed carrying Sharon in his arms; she was staring at everything around her curiously. They arrived at their apartment, Lindsey opened the door and they walked in.
"Here we are" She said happily, "Welcome home Sharon".
Ed smiled too, "Yup, here we are".
Sharon smiled at her parents as she looked around at the apartment, with the usual amazement and curiosity of a baby. As they smiled back Lindsey looked over at Ed.
"Can you hold onto her while I go make sure her crib is ready" She asked. Ed nodded and replied, "Sure no problem".
Lindsey headed through to the nursery while Ed sat on the sofa and cradled his daughter.
Ed sat on the sofa and gently tickled Sharon as she babbled happily.
"You'll love it here sweetie" He stated happily and kissed her forehead.
Sharon continued to babble happily, Lindsey then came back through smiling.
"The crib's ready" She said and Ed gently handed Sharon over to her.
Lindsey smiled and gently rocked her daughter, as she did so Sharon yawned and her eyelids began to droop.
"Tired sweetie" Lindsey said happily, "It's okay, you can sleep".
Sharon yawned and finally dropped off to sleep, Lindsey gently carried Sharon through to the nursery, Ed walked next to her, the pride of being a father practically glowing out of him, Lindsey was the same with her pride of being a mother. She gently lay her daughter down in the crib. They both stood next to the crib, Ed couldn't see but he could picture the scene before him, Lindsey smiled as she watched their daughter lying in her crib, sleeping peacefully, sucking her thumb. Tired but happy Ed and Lindsey then got themselves ready for bed and decided to get some sleep too.
Later that night Ed and Lindsey were woken up by Sharon screaming, they jumped out of bed and hurried through to their daughter's room. Sharon was lying in her crib, crying, her hands clutching desperately.
"What happened?" Ed asked nervously.
"I don't know, she might just not be settled yet" Lindsey replied as she gently lifted her daughter and cradled her.
Sharon's cries slowly quietened down and became whimpers and sniffs.
"It's okay Sharon, Mommy and Daddy are here for you" Lindsey comforted her while Ed gently took her hand with two of his fingers.
"You're okay, we're here" Ed added, also comforting her.
Sharon eventually calmed down and was soon asleep again; Lindsey gently set her back down in the crib, they watched her for a while before returning to bed. Sharon woke up twice more during the night but they were able to calm her down, they now determined that Lindsey's guess was correct, Sharon just wasn't settled in yet, but slowly she seemed to adapt and after the third time she was able to asleep for the rest of the night. Ed and Lindsey were tired but happy in the morning and when Sharon woke up they smiled and cradled their daughter, her first night home had not been easy but they were happy, Sharon was smiling and babbling away to her parents as they both hoped that the next night would be easier.
