Summery: Something beautiful woke her up…
Lita pulled the covers back sleepily and got out of bed. She yawned as she walked down the hallway towards the noise that woke her up. She was used to this particular noise by now; she'd been hearing it every night for the past 9 weeks.
She pushed open a door and stepped into a room lit by a small night light. This was the redhead's favorite room in her house. The walls were painted powder pink with teddy bears and balloons stenciled on them.
Lita looked down at the source of her disturbed sleep and smiled. Her 9 week old baby daughter was wailing at the top of her lungs and kicking her tiny legs.
"What's the matter sweetie pie?"
Lita cooed over the little one as she gently scooped her up in her arms and lifted the baby girl out of her crib.
Sheridan Kasey Cena stopped crying as soon as she was in her mother's arms, Lita smiling brightly at her as she sat down in the white rocking chair by the window.
"You just missed your mommy huh cutie?"
Lita cradled the little one in her arms as she began to rock back and forth gently. Hazel eyes shone with pride as she looked at her baby girl. Sheridan had her fathers blue eyes and dimples, Lita had didn't think she'd ever seen a more beautiful baby.
"I know why you're awake; you know your daddy's coming home tonight don't you?"
Sheridan cooed happily as Lita stroked her soft hair. She had fair hair right now but Lita could tell it was going to get darker as she got older, just like John.
"You miss your daddy don't you princess…I know your daddy misses you…"
Sheridan kicked her legs, making Lita laugh.
"I can't believe you're already a daddy's girl…but how could you not be with a daddy like yours…"
Lita was still rocking, gently rubbing her daughters back to try and get her to sleep again. The redhead looked into her baby girl's bright blue eyes and wondered what she was thinking about or if she was even thinking about anything at all.
Sheridan hiccupped and Lita shifted her in her arms and began to pat her back. The baby hiccupped again.
"Oh dear…mommy's gonna make those nasty hiccups go away sweetie."
Lita bounced the baby lightly and glanced out of the window. It looked like a storm might be coming.
"I hope your daddy's plane doesn't get held up…"
Sheridan yawned and snuggled closer to her mother. Lita watched happily as her daughter's eyes fluttered closed. She stood up carefully and kissed the baby's forehead before laying her back down in her crib and turning on her musical mobile.
The redhead smiled at her content baby girl as she slept.
"Hey you." John said softly from the doorway.
"Hey…I didn't hear you come in…" Lita replied to her husband as he came to stand next to her.
"I didn't want to wake you but I guess someone had other ideas…"
John gazed down at his daughter and ran is fingers over her soft hair.
"She was just excited to see her daddy…we missed you."
"I missed you both too…"
The West Newbury native yawned.
"Come on you, time for bed…I might even sing you to sleep…"
Lita took his hand and led him to their bedroom while Sheridan rolled over in her sleep.
so what did you think of it hunnies? i'm not sure which emotion is gonna be the theme of the next one, but it'll probably be an angsty one.
