"Look at hoe precious you are! Dan come here!" Diana shouted as she played with her son. "I think he's trying to talk."
Dan came over smiling. "Diana." He said. "Go easy on the kid. He's only a couple weeks old, he is not going go be forming sentences by now."
Diana looked at her husband. "I think that you are just a pessimist. Our child is a genius. Isn't that right Gabe?"
Gabe let out a joyous laugh when his name was mentioned. "See?" Diana said, he responds when we use his name.
Dan bendt down next to his son. "She has such high expectations for you, as long as you're alive and healthy I'll be happy."
Dinana gave him an incredulous look. "What if he becomes a drug dealer?"
"As long as he's hapy."
"You're a terrible father."
"Hey, lets not be too drastic."
Diana got up from the ground with Gabe and let him play on his stomache in the play pin. "We got lucky with this one." Diana said as she leaned into Dan.
"He is one cute kid."
"He gets that from my family." Diana said with a wink.
"I'll give you that one."
Both parents stood watching him play with his toys. Gabe continued to laugh and smile. He did this until he started rubbing his eyes and started to fuss. Dan looked at Diana.
"What time is it?" He asked.
Diana looked at the clock in the kitchen and started walking towards Gabe.
"Nap time." She said.
She picked him up and took him to his room whild Dan followed. She held him in her arms while rocking him back and forth. Gabe still wouldn't go to sleep, stubbornly tryong to stay awake.
"Dan can you hold him for a minute?" Diana asked.
"Sure." Dan replied holding out his arms. "Hey there buddy." He said cooing Gabe.
He looked at Diana as she walked in. "Isn't that the music box you had as a kid?" Dan asked surprised.
"Yeah, my mom found it and gave it to me yesterday. It always helped me fall asleep. Maybe it will help Mister Talkative over here." She said gesturing to Gabe who now was babbling in Dan's arms.
Dan contuned rocking him as Diana set up the music box. It played a nice, soothing melody and by the time it was over Gabe was sound asleep in Dan's arms.
Dan set Gabe down in his crib and both him and Diana tip toed out of the room.
"That thing is magical." Diana said.
Dan looked at her. "What?" She said.
"You're a great mom."
"Thank you?" She said confused.
"You wanna have another kid?" Dan asked.
Diana looked at him surprised. "We just had Gabe..."
"Not now, maybe a year or two away. Maybe try for a girl."
Diana looked at him. She gave him a peck on the cheek. "I love you." She said. "I pick the name."
"Dan looked at her and smiled."
"Deal."
So that was short and sweet. Next one should be longer. Please tell me if you like it!
