"Good morning sweety."
Kate looked at the little child in the cradle and smiled.
She couldn't believe it that this little girl was half just like her.
There was only one thing she wanted for her and that was a normal perfect life.
At the same moment Jack entered the room and laid some fresh wood next to the fire place.
"A bit further Jack."
Jack mumbled something but she couldn't hear it.
He went to stand beside her.
"It's really getting cold outside."
"Told you to put on a sweater."
He kissed her on the cheek and smiled.
"I'm already wearing two, but I know something perfect to warm me up."
Kate turned around and smiled.
"You forgot my pills the last time, we're not taking the risk."
She kissed Caitlin on the front head.
"We don't want an extra brother or sister so soon in this situation don't we."
She got up and went to the kitchen.
"So what, no sex for a month now ? Come on, can't we just take the risk for one month."
"We weren't thinking about the risks last time Jack. We were very lucky."
At the same moment they both heard Caitlin cry.
"Her dipper needs to be changed. You do that ? It might turn you of the idea of having a second baby."
She turned around and started to prepare dinner.
The next morning she woke up in an empty bed and went downstairs. She didn't had to look trough the house for Jack since the car was gone.
He probably would be back by noon. Otherwise she would start to get worried.
Instead she went to the kitchen and grabbed herself a cup of coffee before princess would wake up as well and would demand her part of breakfast.
"Who's a pretty girl ? Who's a pretty girl ? Caitlin. Caitlin." Kate was walking outside with Caitlin in her arms all stuffed up with all sorts of clothes that Kate had knit herself when she suddenly saw Jack driving towards the house.
"Look, it's daddy."
Jack got out of the car and greeted his family before they all went back inside.
"It's going to snow again. I went for some extra supplies in case we might get snowed in."
Kate held Caitlin with one arm and checked the bags with another one.
"And you didn't forgot to go to the pharmacy this time."
"Hey, I didn't only bought birth control pills."
"I can see that."
Caitlin yawned and Kate smiled at her.
"Someone's getting tired here."
She went upstairs and placed Caitlin in her cradle.
"Sleep tight my little girl, don't let the bed bugs bite."
When she went downstairs she found Jack playing with the box of birth control pills putting on a sad look.
Kate nodded and went to the bag grabbing some condoms.
"At this moment those are more reliable."
Jack smiled and threw the box away grabbing her in his arms and pushing her on the table.
