Sneaky Little Girl
"Mama." Jackie heard in the middle of the night one night.
"What sweetheart?" She asked as she opened her eyes and saw Jasmine standing there.
"Baby Sone not sleeping." She replied.
"Baby Sloan isn't sleeping?" Jackie asked.
"No, him awake."
Jackie listened, she didn't hear the baby crying through the baby monitor.
"I don't think he's crying." Jackie told her.
"No but him awake." Jasmine insisted.
"He's not crying but he's awake?"
"Yeah."
"Ok, did you go into baby Sloan's room?"
"Yeah." Jasmine told her.
"Was he asleep when you went in there?"
"Yeah." Jasmine said unknowingly incriminating herself.
Jackie chuckled to herself.
"Alright let's go see the baby." Jackie said as she crawled out of bed.
The two of them went into the baby's nursery and just as Jasmine had promised the baby was wide awake, contently just staring up at the ceiling and kicking his legs as if he was trying to get his exercise.
"Hi baby boy." Jackie cooed at him as she peeked into his crib.
The second the baby saw Jackie he gave her the sweetest grin.
"Aw, thank you sweetheart, that smile made getting out of bed totally worth it." Jackie told him as she picked him up.
"Me hold him?" Jasmine asked.
"You can hold him tomorrow, right now though, you need to go back to bed." Jackie told her.
Normally Jackie would have let her hold the baby but she didn't want Jasmine to get in the habit of waking the baby in the middle of the night just so she could hold him.
"I'll be right back Sloan." Jackie told the baby as she gently laid him back down in his crib.
"Come on Jazz, I'll go tuck you in again." She told the little girl.
Jasmine frowned but she followed Jackie back to her room.
Jasmine crawled into bed. Jackie tucked her in, and then leaned down and gave her a kiss on the cheek.
"I love you sweet girl." Jackie told her.
"Love you mama." Jackie smiled at her and then left her room.
Jackie then went back into the nursery so she could rock Sloan back to sleep but when she peeked into the baby's crib she noticed his little eyes were closing so she tiptoed out of the room, went back to her own room, and crawled back into bed.
There really is never a dull moment. Jackie thought to herself before she fell back asleep.
