9. Things you said at the kitchen table
It seemed like the same thing every night, get Alexis to bed, get about 2 hours asleep and then she was up again. Gajeel looked down at his fussing newborn daughter, his eyes full of sleep and annoyance.
"You know staring at here doesn't make her stop crying." He heard his small wife giggle behind him. She walked up to the crib and picked Alexis up and cradled the baby in her arms
"Yeah I know. But she never stops crying for me!" Gajeel told her as they started to walk out of the room. "She just likes you better then me." Walking out of the small nursery into the kitchen, Levy sat down at the kitchen table.
"Oh she does not, she loves you just as much as she loves me." Gajeel sat down next to his wife in the other chair. Alexis had started to calm down, she was far from going to sleep again, but at less she wasn't crying anymore. Gajeel brought his hand up and placed it gently on Alex's head. She began to coo at the touch of her father, Gajeel smiled at this. "See I told you so. She loves when you are around." Levy laughed.
Alexis had finally went silent after another couple of minutes. Levy started to get up, but Gajeel stopped her. "I'll take her to bed, shorty. You get back to sleep." Levy smiled up at her husband and handed the small baby over to him. Gajeel held the small child in his arms, and in that moment he relized that he really had never been so happy.
Gajeel had spent his whole life hating himself and hating all of the things that he has done. But now, maybe even if he didn't love himself, he still had amazing people in his life that all loved him. Gajeel smiled again as his daughter cooed in her sleep
"All right squirt lets get you to bed."
