The first hour was pretty calm, Amy was playing tickle with little Halley at the sofa and make her laugh very loud. Sheldon was in the floor organicing all Halley´s toys for size, and looking to the girls, the scene was very cute, Amy was more calm after the first minutes and she tought that maybe this will be good for them, that Sheldon was very good in this mode a "daddy Copper", maybe is not that scary at all …
Halley suddenly started to cry… in a very loud way …
- "Oh honey, calm down, come one", Amy start to whisper while holding her.
- "What did you did?" Sheldon ask from the floor.
- "I don´t know, nothing, she just start to cry by surprise" Amy starts to get nervous, she gently balances Halley but she start to cry more and more loud.
- "Oh my .. maybe she need a clean diaper, I´m going to check … " she says and quickly left the room.
Sheldon was waiting her for come back while he hear the loud cry of Halley since the other room.
- "Amy all you alright? Do you need help?" He ask, was just a few minutes than she left and the cry was more and more loud.
- "No it´s ok, I think I can handle"
Why is she crying? Amy was thinking, she is clean, and full, maybe she doesn´t like me, maybe, I´m carrying her wrong … she is truly the first baby I´m holding, Oh my!, maybe I hurt her while I was playing with her, or she just want her mama and she know I´m not… Amy was more and more nervuos and start to panic, what I´m doing? I don´t know how to calm a baby, this was a bad idea …
Not was more than a half hour that Halley start to cry but for Amy was like a long life, she has tears in her face and her feets was dizzing while she was balances the baby in the semi dark room, just a little lamp with the form of a star in the wall give her light.
Sunddely a touch in her back and a whisper in her hear, "let me try", Sheldon, his voice calmed her while he start to hold the baby, "soft kitty, warm kitty .." he start to sing … "I know, I know" Slowly the weeping went down until she just could hear Sheldon's voice singing very softly "warm warm warm …"
Amy open her eyes and dry her tears, she was looking the most beautiful scene in the world … her heart was full and her face had the biggest smile, she slowly walks towards him and hugs Sheldon from the back, she can feel the essence from the baby and the calm Sheldon's breathing, after a few minutes she whispered "Thank you Sheldon".
- "You don´t need to thank, we are a team, I thought maybe you need help", he says while he leaving little Halley asleep in her crib. "Soft kitty always work" he smile to her.
The both leave the room in silence and head to the living room.
Amy sat in the sofa exhausted, she look at the floor and see all the toys in the more organicing way, she smile, so Sheldon way.
She was right, he is so ready for this, he is always so exceptional in all the things, How is not he going to be a good dad? She is the problem, she just had Halley for an hour and she can´t aford it. In Amy´s face starting to run tears again, she was not ready at all, how can she going to tell Sheldon? Maybe he alredy notice it, maybe he knows and he is thinking that now… Amy´s head was about to explote, all the things that she was fear to, are now in front of her.
"Are you ok?" sheldon says with a tea cup in her hand, "This is for you" he give her with a smile and he sit down near to her.
Amy smile and nods with her head, she was not ready for this conversation, it´s was still too soon, but the words flew up from her lips "sorry that you saw this, I'm so clumsy with babies", and she sipped some tea.
- "Not you are not, what are you talking about?" he says without looking away from her eyes.
- "Are you kidding? you rescute me a few minutes ago, rembember?" She was looking at his face, he has that look in his eyes, a confused one, like if she was telling a silly thing.
- "I didn´t rescute you, I just went to help you because I thought you may need a break, after all, you were with her all the first part of the night, and you did so good job".
Amy was shocked, how could be possible that he didn´t see the bad work she'd done?
He looked down at his phone and smiled, "look how good you did it", She saw a few photos from the night, she didn´t know that Sheldon tooks it, Halley was smiling in all of them.
- "You have been exceptional Amy" Sheldon says with a Smile in his face, maybe she didn´t did so bad, she know that the babies cry for nothing sometimes, how can she be so lucky with this men?.
He cuddle her in the sofa and put on the tv, she was more calm and safe that in all her life, with Sheldon's arms circling her she could not feel any fear, he was all she needed for now.
- "I´m always thought that you will be the greatest mother" Shedon says and pressing her harder.
Amy smile and feel complete, she know that Sheldon loves her so much but not only that he makes her insecurities fade away too. He complete her in all the possibles ways.
Suddenly the little sound of Haley in the baby monitor …
- "I´m going to check …" Amy says while rises gently from the couch and look at Sheldon "Anyway I have plenty of time to practice, we're not even in that phase, it´s far way Dr. Copper, you don´t want to have the baby in sin, right? your mother would be scandalized" Amy says jokingly while she leaves the room.
Sheldon looks to her as she leaves with a smile, he gets right on the sofa and pulls out of his pocket a small ring box, "not so far Dr Copper to be, not so far …"
