No one had warned Edward ahead of time that babies were so greedy for attention. He had found, in the few days since his daughter had been born, that the kid wanted absolutely everything from him. Every waking second she wanted to be held or she was hungry or she needed changed. He didn't want to bother Winry with it more than he had to, as it had been a hard (and long) labor and he wanted her to get her rest. Even so, he only had so much patience. Rose made this look so easy: just rock her a little when she needed soothing and feed her once in a while...maybe it came more naturally to the mother...
Edward was overjoyed when the girl finally fell asleep, although he dared not move. Instead, he settled back on the couch, where he had been holding her, and managed to doze off himself.

Notes: I've had this for a pretty long time, but never uploaded it because it didn't feel quite finished. My birthday is tomorrow, though, so I thought it would be nice to (hopefully) read a review or two to brighten the day. Anyway, I think first time parents are always a little surprised by how much attention babies need. Ed's no exception (the cuteness of papa!Ed!!).
