The Beginning of Something Wonderful Chapter 2
Beth and Nacho Cheese had a very interesting experience so far with Pizza Dough Steve as they entered their 5th week with him. They hadn't slept in days. But their baby started to sleep through the night. Within that 5th week, Pizza Dough Steve smiled for the first time, and his eyes started to focus more. They loved their baby so much. He was the sweetest little thing, you could feel so much love when you held him.
Beth took care of their baby while Nacho Cheese would go to work. It was the most tiring job she had ever experienced. But Beth thought it was worth it, she was so excited to watch her baby grow up and to see what the future had in store for him.
Nacho Cheese would work really late, leaving his wife/new mom to do all the work. He sorta felt bad for a while. But he knew she could handle it. Plus he didn't want to help. He selfishly thought that since he didn't have too much of a say about the baby that he shouldn't have to do all the work, or even half of it. Nacho Cheese started to notice how all the stress was treating his wife. She would snap at the most simple things, like when he would leave a dirty bowl in the sink or when he would sit on the couch and watch TV while she was in the nursery with Pizza Dough Steve.
One night, on his day off, Nacho Cheese was watching TV as his wife was bathing their baby. She sat the baby in his crib and went to confront her husband. Beth stomped into the living room, grabbed the remote, and shut off the TV. "What are you doing?" She said angrily. "What do you mean? Is everything alright?" "No! Everything is not alright! How about you get off your lazy behind and help me with the baby! Because all you ever do is sit around doing NOTHING!" "What are you talking about? I go to work everyday." Beth growled back at him. Nacho Cheese had never seen his wife so stressed or mad. It finally hit him that he should start being more involved with the baby. Then Nacho Cheese stood up and approached her slowly. He began to rub his hand on her back. "Ok, ok. I can tell you are super stressed out, and you feel like you're the only one doing the work around the house. And I appreciate all your hard work." Beth let out a sigh. "I'm just super tired. All I want is some rest. I shouldn't take it out on you." "Don't worry about it. We're both a little crazy, this is our first baby. Nobody said it would be easy, we just need to do it together. I'll try to get off work earlier to help you more." Beth kissed him. "That would be lovely."
Nacho Cheese was able to get off work at an earlier time, which made Beth a lot less stressed. "Thank you for helping me out lately." Beth said as her and Nacho Cheese climbed into bed. "You're welcome." Then he leaned over and kissed her goodnight.
