Summary: A normal day as parents for Frankie and Jo.
Chapter 11- November
Jo was sitting in 2J with her daughter, who was in her high chair, trying to feed her.
"Come on Katelyn, its good for you," Jo told her daughter, who kept refusing to eat the food. "Come on sweetie, you need to eat." Jo said, trying once again to feed her, who kept her mouth closed. For a 2 month old, she was really smart.
Frankie chose that moment to walk in, eyeing his frustrated wife and giggling daughter. "Why are you so mad honey?" he asked, moving to wrap his arms around her waist.
Jo sighed "I can't get her to eat her food," she explained, holding the still full can of baby food.
"Let me try," Frankie asked, Jo shrugging and handing it to him. Frankie took a spoonful and moved it to Katelyn's lips, who opened and ate it, giggling afterward.
Jo's eyes widened in surprise "How did you do that?" she demanded.
Frankie shrugged "I just put the food by her mouth and she ate it."
Jo pouted "I been trying that for the past 10 minutes and she didn't even attempt to open her mouth." She said, making Frankie raise an eyebrow before handing the food back to her "There's a basket full of dirty clothes in your room, can you get it?" she asked. Jo moved in with Frankie and his family after they had gotten married, it was just the right thing in their minds to do, especially since 2J was bigger and provided more room for Katelyn when she got older.
Frankie walked to his room, now standing behind the high chair and out of Katelyn's sight. Her lips started to shake before she started to cry, surprising Jo and Frankie, who heard her cries.
"What's wrong Katey?" Jo asked, picking her daughter up from the high chair "You got gas?" she asked. She lightly tapped Katelyn's back, making her burp a second later. Jo smiled "Its okay," she said before Katelyn started to cry again.
"What's wrong honey?" Frankie asked, now coming into Katelyn sights, the crying stopping and now replaced by giggling.
"Wait a second, Frankie stand behind me," Jo said, Frankie raising an eyebrow in confusion before doing what she asked. When Katelyn couldn't see him anymore, she started to cry again, confirming Jo's suspicions.
"She wants you Frankie," she said with a smile, turning so Katelyn can see her daddy, the crying turning into giggling again.
"She does." Frankie smiled, taking Katelyn from Jo. He held her and loved the sound of his daughter laughing when he held her.
"She really loves you," Jo commented, taking a seat on the couch. It was so nice to see her husband, who didn't have a family growing up, had a family of his own now and was happy to be his wife. Katelyn quickly became the most important thing in their lives, their little girl, their little princess, their pride and joy.
"Yeah, she does." Frankie commented, holding Katelyn close to him. He smiled and kissed her forehead "Daddy loves you so much." He told her, her giggling still echoing throughout their ears.
"What do you think her first words will be?" Jo asked, standing up to stand by her husband. She wrapped her arms around his chest "I think it'll be 'daddy'." She said.
"If I had to guess, I would say 'mommy'" Frankie said, earning a playful glare from his wife.
"Nope, she loves you more. Her first words will be 'daddy'," her voice trailed off "She loves you more then me." She whispered, moving away to go sit on the couch.
Frankie gave his wife a concerned look, setting Katelyn down on the floor and gave her a toy train to play with. He went and took a seat next to his wife "Is there something bothering you?" he asked.
Jo sighed, looking away to Katelyn "She loves you more. If you're not in her sights, she'll cry. She wants you to feed her and to hold her and doesn't even notice if I'm not here." She started to cry "I could die and she won't even notice her mother's gone."
Frankie gasped "Don't say that, Katelyn loves you to. She doesn't love me more, she loves us equally!"
"Then how come she let you feed her? How come she cried when you left her field of vision?" she asked, Frankie falling short on words to say for the moment. "You see, you can't think of anything can you?" she asked, tears flowing down her face "My own little girl hates me and doesn't care if I'm not around."
Frankie opened his mouth to say something, but Katelyn's cry's echoed again. Jo sighed and cried more "You see, she cry's if you don't hold her. Go with your daughter, I'll just sit and hope I disappear."
Frankie tried to hug her, but Jo turned away from him, tears staining her face and the couch. He went to hold Katelyn, but when he picked her up, her cries got louder.
"Pick her up already, I hate hearing her cry." Jo said, her face looking to the ground in front of her, her face not looking at Frankie and Katelyn.
"I am, she's still crying." He said, walking to her and sitting down next to her. Katelyn looked to Jo and started to try and move to her, surprising Jo.
She pointed to herself "You…you want mommy?" she asked, the tears now having turned into happy tears. Katelyn giggled when Jo looked to her, her small arms stretched out to her mother.
Frankie had a victory smirk on his face, kissing Jo on the cheek and rubbing his daughter's hair softly "See, she loves you to."
Jo smiled and kissed her husband softly "And I love her too, and you too Frankie. I love you two so much I can't imagine myself here without you guys."
Frankie gave her a soft kiss in return, not wanting to 'scar' his daughter by making out with her mother in front of her "And I'm glad I came back to life to help you raise this little girl." He said, giving his daughter a smile and kiss on the forehead.
Jo hugged Katelyn close and leaned against Frankie "I'm glad you're back too," she whispered.
Frankie placed his hand on his daughter's small cheek and his other hand on Jo's hand that was secured around Katelyn "Daddy's not going anywhere."
