She never thought she would be this type of mom. The kind of mom she saw all over Instagram who took constant pictures of their babies in perfect outfits writing all about how perfect their life was. She had always found them annoying and never understood the point of their countless posts, or at least that was until she had a baby of her own.

While she did not have any sort of social media account to share updates on, she still found herself taking thousands of pictures of her daughter. At one time she would have laughed at the monthly updates of the baby's growth, but now she knew she was going to take a picture on the 18th of every month to see how much her daughter changed.

She hadn't even planned on being the mom who Pintersted crafts and baby ideas, but once again motherhood had changed her. When February 1st came around she knew she wanted to make Valentine's Day special for her family. What once was a stupid holiday in her eyes had suddenly become something she wanted to celebrate and focus on the love she had for her partner and daughter.

It had actually been simple to search the internet for ideas on how to make the holiday special and keep it a secret. The siren had been blaring more often these past few days making her boyfriend and friends have to jump in the lifeboat and save history. It left her with a lot of free time and worry for her team.

While she had her other friends and daughter to keep her calm, her mind would be racing with fear until the lifeboat landed back in the present. No one could blame for her for searching Pinterest for baby hacks and crafts. It was one of the few things that kept her fully distracted, well that and when her daughter decided to test out her lungs. The mother wasn't the only one who missed their man when he was out hunting bad guys.

While she was itching to be back out there with him, she loved every moment she got with her daughter and was dreading the day her maternity leave ended. She knew the day was coming soon and made sure to soak up all the alone time she had with the baby. When the team was on a mission her daughter was by her side from the moment the lifeboat left to the moment it came home. She was her main connection to him and it eased her anxiety every time she looked over and saw those big blue eyes and gummy smile.

The day before Valentine's Day had the team out once again on a mission. She hated that he was away, but it gave her time to finish his present. There wasn't any real way for them to buy each other gifts. The only time they ventured into the outside world was to go to the doctor's, so there wasn't any real way for her to go shopping. Plus she knew he didn't need anything material, it would only be a waste of what limited space they had. She wanted to make him something more meaningful, hence the hours spent on Pinterest.

The lifeboat had landed back in their timeline in the middle of the night, just in time for their daughter's middle of the night feeding. They gave a brief update on how the mission went before he hit the showers. Even though he was exhausted she knew that he wanted to spend some time with the baby before he crashed.

Of course the almost three month old was dressed in Valentine's Day pajamas. He had eagerly picked her up to cuddle and kiss her before passing her over for her meal. No words were needed, both were too tired to speak, for very different reasons, and chose to cuddle with each other on the bed and watch their daughter eat.

Once she was finished he took her back to burp her and help rock the baby back to sleep, though he ended up falling asleep as well. She quickly pulled out her phone to snap a picture of father and daughter passed out together, the same sleepy pouts on their lips. Carefully she took the infant from his arms to place her in the crib.

"I'm awake." He mumbled sleepily without opening his eyes.

"Of course you are." She laughed as she rejoined him back in the bed.

Easily she curled her body into his and rested her head on his chest.

"I love you." He said and kissed the top of her head.

"I love you too." She said back. "Now please go to sleep."

He sighed in agreement and it wasn't long before she felt his breaths even out. Her eyes fluttered shut as well letting the soothing sounds of her family lull her to sleep.

She woke up on Valentine's Day to her daughter's whimpers. While she wished more than anything cuddle closer into her boyfriend's chest and fall back asleep, she knew those whimpers would turn into cries if she didn't get up. Carefully so not to disturb the sleeping man beside her she eased herself out of bed and tiptoed to the crib.

"Happy Valentine's Day." She whispered and picked up the infant to give her a kiss on the head.

The pair sat in the chair they kept in their room for their morning feeding and it allowed her time to watch the man she loved sleep. It wasn't often she was up before him and enjoyed watching how peaceful he looked in their bed. She wanted him to stay that way for as long as possible and allow him to catch up on the rest he so desperately needed.

Once her daughter was finished she changed her into a Valentine's Day outfit, a cute little red dress with white hearts all over it. Of course there was matching headband in her dark hair. Again she was surprised at her desire to dress the baby in these holiday outfits. But baby clothes shopping had become a new addiction of hers and she couldn't deny herself the simple pleasure in dressing her daughter in a well planned outfit, even if would only ended up dirty by her next meal.

The pair tiptoed out of the bedroom and into the kitchen to get him a cup of coffee and her a cup of tea. As much as she would have loved to bring him breakfast in bed, she knew her limits and did not want to ruin the holiday by making him suffer with her cooking.

It didn't surprise her to see him starting to wake up when they entered the room again. He had told her he couldn't sleep as well when his girls weren't in the room with him.

"Happy Valentine's Day." She said as soon as his eyes locked on them.

He gave her a sleepy smile and mumbled, "Happy Valentine's Day" back.

"Coffee?" she asked walking over to his side of the bed to hand him the cup.

"Yes please." He eagerly grasped it and took a long sip. "Thank you."

He took another sip and held out his hands indicating that he wanted their daughter. She open up her arms and allowed him to take the baby out of the sling that was around her chest.

"Happy Valentine's Day to you too." he said and gave her a kiss on the head.

The three month old gave him a big smile causing both of them to smile. She was becoming more interactive with them now and they were loving every smile and movement they could get out of her.

"Where's my kiss?" she asked pouting her lips.

"My mistake." He said and leaned over to give her a long passionate kiss. "Better?"

"Much."

"I see we have another outfit planned out." he joked looking down at the dress the baby was wearing.

"Shut up." she playfully swatted at him.

"I'm surprised she isn't in a baby's first Valentine's onesie or one of that says mommy or daddy's valentine."

"Oh trust me I was tempted to get them and Jiya wasn't the best influence on me either. But I figured I should go with something a little less cheesy that Lydia can wear again."

"Because a dress covered in hearts isn't over kill at all."

"Don't listen to your Daddy Lydie, you look perfect for the holiday." She told the baby.

"And don't let Mommy influence you too much bug, one day you'll be able to pick out your own outfits."

She shot him a dirty look. No one loved to tease her more than him about her newest habits.

"If you're going to keep being this mean I don't think you deserve your gift."

"You got me a gift?" he asked genuinely surprised.

"Well we didn't get you one, but we did make you a little something while you were off chasing bad guys in the past. You'll only get it if you promise not to make fun of us and our outfit choices."

"I promise." He even went as far as to cross his heart.

She got out of bed to grab the envelope from its hiding spot and eagerly handed it to him. His eyes shone with excitement as he tore open the present and pulled on the craft from inside.

"Did you find this on Pinterest?" he asked as he looked at the card in his hands.

"Yes I did and you promised you wouldn't make fun of me anymore."

"I'm not I swear! I just still can't believe you are the crafty type now."

"Believe me I can't either! But I have to spend all my free time doing something since I can't go on missions yet. Now open it up!"

In his hands was a ladybug card and when tears instantly came to his eyes as he slid the wings open to see a picture of their baby along with the words "from your little love bug".

"I've know you call Lydia bug or love bug and saw this and knew we had to try and make it for you. Her hands were to small to trace so I had Jiya use mine, but the black dots are Lydia's fingerprints. Do you like it?"

"I love it, thank you both so much." He leaned forward to give her a kiss and then leaned down to give their baby one.

"Even though it's from Pinterest." She teased.

"I don't think I will ever understand the obsession, but if you two keep giving me cards like this I don't think I'll ever complain again."

"Good because I don't think it's ending anytime soon."

"I wish I could have gotten you something."

"You being here all day long is all I need."

"Too bad we can't have a night alone to properly celebrate, but I don't think Jiya and Rufus would be willing to take her tonight."

"We don't need a Hallmark holiday to celebrate our love, we'll find another day to do it. And maybe another way too." she looked down sheepishly at her hands.

"Hey you know I'm willing to wait until you're ready right?" he asked putting a finger under her chin to lift her eyes up to meet his. "There is no rush on anything."

"I know." She smiled and leaned over to kiss him. "And I promise that day is coming soon and when it does come I am forcing Jiya and Rufus to take Lydia and won't take no for an answer."

He couldn't help but laugh, "I can't wait for that day to come."

She smiled back and leaned over once again to steal another kiss.

"So do you have any other fun Pinterest planned ideas for the day?" he asked.

She shook her head no and looked down at their daughter and ran her fingers through her soft hair.

"Just spending the day with my two favorite people and telling them over and over again how much I love them."

"Sounds like a perfect way to celebrate our first Valentine's Day."
