On the thirteenth of September 1995, a beautiful baby girl, weighing 6lb 2oz, came screaming into the world. With a tuft of her Father's locks on her head and wriggling limbs, she was pronounced perfect. As she was placed into her Mother's arms, her Father came to her side and both first-time parents shed happy tears for their little girl.
A few days later the baby girl was being coddled and cooed at by her Mother's best friend, who had given birth just 3 weeks before to a bouncing baby boy. As the two mothers compared sleeping patterns and baby bowel movements, the baby girl was laid next to the baby boy in a bassinet. Unaccustomed to being without attention, the baby girl began to fuss. The baby boy instantly moved to comfort the beautiful baby girl. His chubby arm followed his curious eyes to catch a glimpse at her little screwed up face. His hand gripped her onsie at his hip pulling her into him. She calmed instantly and snuggled further in.
When the parents focussed back on the babes, they awed at the sight of the baby girl curled up next to the baby boy, sleeping peacefully, the boys arm around the girl and her head tucked in the jam of his shoulder.
Both mothers minds went to the potential future of their child pairing off with the other but neither commented. Just a small exchange of a knowing glance and a quirk of an eyebrow.
Perhaps someday. But they've got time.
