Eli's POV
I looked at our beautiful 6 week old baby. She had bright liquid blue's like her mother, that faded to an earthy green in the center. She was just in an undershit and diaper, and she was smiling big. That's when my jaw dropped. She was smiling.
"Clare! Look!" I yelled at my gorgeous fiance. She was in the kitchen, trying to make Ramen noodles, probably rolling her eyes at all the baby talk I was giving Fiona.
She fast-walked her way over to sit near me on the couch, but the smile had faded away.
"Loo... Aw, you missed it... she was smiling."
I saw a devastated look on her face.
"I missed my baby smile?" she said. She scooted over to me and held her little head up with her hand.
"I'm sure she'll do it again. I told you she liked the baby talk."
She scoffed, but not in a mean way.
"Can you fix the noodles? I want to hold my precious little girl..." she said. I see, it's ok for her to baby talk to our baby, but not me.
I chuckled and handed over baby Fiona to her beautiful mom and headed to the kitchen.
"Rockabye baby, on the tree top..." she sang.
I flipped through the book while stirring the noodles. This week, the baby was finally going to start "socializing". I read through what Clare had already read... and I felt really proud.
The reason the baby was smiling was because Fiona had finally started to remember and recognize who we are, and she was so happy, she would smile. The social smile. She was just happy too see her momma or dad.
I jumped when I heard the wind chimes. They made nice noices, but they also banged against the glass because they were so close to the house.
Just the I heard a noise come out of Fiona, not a coo, but not a cry.
"You hear the pretty wind chimes?" Clare asked while she carried Fiona outside to the porch. I watched as she grabbed the cord, and shook it, making the chimes bang against each other, while Fiona stared in amazement. She held out her hand, and pursed her little lips together, while raising her eyebrows, and then scrunching them together.
I had never seen Fiona so expressive before. She used to just cry, now she's exploring her face, and trying out all these new expressions. She looked so cute though, sometimes she did it just to see if she could do it, but sometimes she was trying to send a stinky message...
Then all of a sudden, her body jerked, and she stared at her mom, her mouth wide open, and her eyes real wide. Clare looked down at her, mocking the same look on her face.
Then Fiona's face balled up, and she scrunched her eyebrows and balled her fist. I saw Clare's face scrunch up too.
"Can you change her diaper?" she said as soon as she stepped back in.
I smiled and chuckled a little.
"Sure, babe. Here, the noodle's are done, you relax," I said, setting the noddles down. I grabbed my gorgeous baby.
"Daddy will take care of little Fiona!" I said in a baby voice. You know, this is kinda fun.
