Hey guys! You will have to excuse me if my "baby timeline" is slightly off. I'm 22 and don't have a kid of my own to compare things to and the fact that I take care of Autistic kids for a living doesn't help because their milestones don't exactly line up to what is "normal." I would like to announce though that the real Braya has officially been born! Braya Reese made her grand entrance into the world around 2am on September 11th weighing 7 pounds 4 ounces and is 20 inches long! But...onto Casey and Olivia's Braya...
Firsts – Chapter 1
After snuggling together as a family for a few hours, Olivia eventually put Braya down in her crib. She and Casey snuggled together in their bed but it wasn't long before their slumber was disturbed by Braya's cries.
"I'll get her!" Casey said immediately jumping out of bed.
Olivia quickly followed, "No, no I'll get her!"
Casey got to Braya's room first and quickly scooped up the little girl. Olivia passed the nursery and went into the kitchen to heat up a bottle. She check the temperature of it before handing it over to the strawberry blonde who was already seated in the rocking chair with their fussy daughter.
"There you go," Casey murmured as she brought the bottle to Braya's lips.
Olivia knelt next to rocker and pressed a kiss Braya's fuzzy head. She stayed by their side until the baby fell back asleep. Casey tucked her back into her crib and together both mother's went back to their room to go back to sleep.
Casey smiled as she snuggled back into Olivia's shoulder. One late night feeding…down.
Two months later…
The detective and the ADA both groaned when they heard their daughter start to cry. Olivia squinted as she looked at the clock. 3:13am. She dropped her head back on the pillow with a sigh.
"I fed her last time." Came Casey's muffled response from the other side of the bed.
The detective sighed once again as she dragged herself from their bed, "Alright Braya, mommy's coming!"
Casey smiled as the dozed back to sleep listening to her partner comfort their crying baby girl over the baby monitor.
1 Month After That…
The morning sun lit up their bedroom on that fall Saturday morning. Casey Novak slowed opened her eyes as she stretched; she squinted as she looked over at her brown haired lover. She glanced at the clock and barely registered that it read 7:04am. All of the sudden – it hit her:
"Oh my God! LIV!"
The slumbering woman instantly shot up out of bed at the sound Casey's frantic voice, "What?!?"
"Did you get up with Braya last night?" she asked as she scrambled out of bed.
"No why? I never heard her so I figured you had."
"I never did either. Oh my God I hope there's nothing wrong."
The strawberry blonde bolted out of their bedroom before Olivia had a chance to say anything else. She breathed a sigh of relief when she reached the nursery and saw the rise and fall of her daughter's chest.
"Honey, what are you freaking out about?" the detective asked when she entered the room rubbing her still sleepy eyes.
Casey immediately clung to her and buried her face in Olivia's neck, "She's ok. Thank God. She's ok," she murmured over and over again.
"Baby," Olivia said as she pulled Casey away from her to look her in the face, "what are you talking about? Of course she is ok!"
"When I realized that neither of us had gotten up with her last night I feared the worst!" Casey confessed.
Olivia smiled at her lover's concern, "Well, then sweetie I guess that you should be thankful that it was not the worst but quite possibly the best – looks like our little girl is starting to sleep through the night." She leaned up and pressed a quick kiss to her lips, "Now come on, I wanna get you back to bed for a little while longer before she officially wakes up."
The detective linked their fingers together and pulled Casey back towards their bedroom where she gently pushed her back down onto their bed. She straddled the younger woman's thighs as she captured her lips with her own. She slowed rained kisses down Casey's long neck as her hands worked her away up her torso underneath her PJ top. Just as she was about to tug the shirt over Casey's head they were interrupted by sounds coming from the baby monitor.
Casey once again bolted out of the bedroom before Olivia had a chance to protest. It looked as if they would just have to wait until Braya's nap time to resume their activities because the sound of their baby's cries seemed to have been the best thing that Casey had heard all morning.
