***Opera Life***
Somewhere in the midst of a dream world a babies' cry interrupted sleep.
"Tristian, it's time for his feeding." Chloe said as she rolled away from him.
Philip sighed as he rolled onto his side and looked at the alarm clock by his bed, it read 2:00 AM. "I'll get him go back to sleep."
"Mmm okay." Chloe replied and promptly went back to sleep.
He slid out of the bed, pulled on his pants and went to Tristian's room to pick up the hungry two-month old child. Leaning over the crib his gently lifted the baby up into his arms and immediately the soft cries turned into mews. "That's my boy, it's just you and me tonight. And unfortunately, I don't have the proper equipment to feed you just yet, so after we change your diaper we'll get you all dry and ready for your bottle." He told the baby as he swiftly changed the wet diaper into a dry one. After two months, of diaper changing he considered himself a pro forgetting of course his first attempt at changing the diaper had left him wet. Picking up the small child once again he headed towards the door.
To his surprise, when he started to head for the kitchen for a warm bottle he found that Lily awaited him. "What are you doing up, Lily?" He asked as she entered the room.
"Well, I figured that you would probably get Nicky and would need a bottle so I warmed one for you." She handed him the warm bottle, which was just the right temperature after he tested it on his wrist. "You know Daddy, I could feed Tristian for you and then you can go back to sleep. I mean you only got home a couple of hours ago and you haven't really slept all that much."
"I don't mind feeding him, I missed it while I was gone." She nodded and sat down next to him a chair as he settled back into an antique rocking chair and gave Tristian the warmed bottle. As he fed the baby he glanced up at Lily again, her focus was all on Tristian, her beloved baby brother. She had grown up a lot over the last couple of years. At nine and a half years old she was already starting to resemble her mother. Her once brown hair had lightened over the years to become a golden light brown; it fell past her shoulders now to the middle of her back. He knew just from looking at her that one day she would grow to be as beautiful as her mother was if not more so than her mother.
"Dad," she called out this time her returning his blue-eyed gaze with her own brown one. Smiling, "Are you sure you don't want me to feed him so you can go back to sleep?" She questioned again glancing down at his lap where he held Tristian. The bottle had apparently escaped the baby's mouth and his face had begun to frown up in the process of beginning to cry.
Philip slid the bottle back into the baby's mouth and listened for the suckling at the teat. The baby's blue eyes stared back at him then happy to once again be feeding. Like his father baby Tristian had blonde hair and blue eyes. Everyone had told him that Tristian looked exactly as he did when he was a baby. But, for some reason he couldn't see it. All he could see in baby Tristian was Chloe. "Are you sure you want to feed him? He might get fussy you know."
She nodded holding out her arms to take the baby. Philip stood up and gently gave the baby to his older sister. After making sure she had a good hold on Tristian he helped her move into the rocking chair and kissed her cheek. "Are you sure you don't want me to stay? I mean I could be here to burp him-,"
"Dad, relax, me and Nicky are old buddies, and I can burp him. So you should just go back to bed. And don't worry about getting Tristian's next feeding I'll do it." She replied glancing up from the feeding baby to look at her father. "Really Dad I did this while you were gone so just go back to bed I can handle everything." And with that Lily returned her attention to her baby brother promptly dismissing her father. * * * * *
As Philip returned to his bed Chloe awaited him and turned toward him the minute he got into the bed.
"Got your feeding privileges revoked, right?"
"Yeah she basically just kept telling me I looked tired and relieved me from feeding Tristian."
"I figured as much, she revoked my privileges already as well. Lily is certainly becoming a mother hen with her brother."
"Well, that's not surprising. You know she told my mother that after awaiting almost ten years on getting her brother she's not going to miss a thing with him." Philip sighed and settled back in the bed closing his eyes.
"Next thing, you know she be taking over all of his feedings." Chloe laughed snuggling back next to Philip's chest. And promptly fell asleep with her husband. As the Kiriakis family went to sleep, Philip went to sleep aware that he was no longer alone in this world. He finally had the family he'd always wanted who loved and cared for him no matter what.
The End . for now. (
