Bo gave up on trying to put the bassinet together. Why something they were only going to use for the next three months was so difficult to put together was beyond her. She tossed one of the pieces onto the floor, letting out an aggravated growl before drawing in a deep breath and releasing it. She had to get this bassinet together because if she didn't Mylo would end up sleeping with them, and according to Lauren that wasn't good for him. Mylo currently lay in the middle of their bed asleep, and Lauren was downstairs making bottles for him. Bo's phone went off and she went to go answer it before it could wake Mylo. She put it up to her ear and said, "Hello?"
"Now, Isabeau, will you tell me what has been done, and how you and Lauren are going to handle it or will I have to come to Boston to kick your ass?" Aife said, and underneath her thinly veiled sarcasm Bo could tell how pissed off her mother actually was.
Bo sighed. "Lauren fell in love with an abandoned baby that had come into the hospital, and rather than see her hurt over it I decided we should adopt him. We'll be his foster parents but that's just a formality."
Aife scoffed. "You and Lauren can't just decide to adopt a baby."
Bo chuckled a little and said, "Yeah we can. This is our life and we want to be this child's parents. It's as simple as that mom."
"But what about Lauren's studies and internship?" Aife asked then pointed out, "You also just started a new job. This is going to be too much for the two of you and I don't want your kneejerk reaction to have an effect on this child."
Bo was insulted by the insinuation and scoffed. "Rest assured, mother, that this wasn't a kneejerk reaction. I know what Lauren and I have and we know what we can handle. Fostering this child and adopting him is something we can handle." She shook her head. "If you'll excuse me I need to go put together a bassinet."
Bo hung up on her mother and dropped the phone next to her on the floor. She couldn't believe her mom had said that. Bo knew that she and Lauren had a lot going on right now, but it didn't make them incapable of taking care of a baby. The scowl on Bo's face worsened, and she took a moment to get over the conversation with her mother before giving the bassinet another attempt.
A half hour had passed by the Lauren came upstairs. Bo saw her glance at Mylo before she looked at her, a small grin on her face. "He looks so peaceful."
Bo chuckled. "I sort of forgot he was there for a moment."
Lauren rolled her eyes. "Who called you earlier? I heard the phone go off, but I was too busy figuring out the bottle warmer I forgot to ask."
The scowl returned to Bo's face. "It was your mother-in-law. She was expressing her concern about us being able to take care of Mylo. I hung up on her because she believes we're doing this for all the wrong reasons."
Lauren sighed and moved to sit down on the floor next to Bo. She leaned over to give her cheek a kiss then rested her head on her shoulder. "I understand why she would think that considering my schedule, and yours, but we just have to prove her wrong." Lauren lifted her head and met Bo's gaze. "We have to talk about that by the way." Bo cocked an eyebrow and Lauren said, "We can't just fly by the seat of our pants like we've been doing. We have to think about Mylo."
"Okay..."Bo said not getting where the conversation was going. Lauren blew out an exasperated breath. After turning to where she and Lauren were face to face, Bo asked, "What is there to talk about, Lauren?"
Lauren ran her hand through hair and blew out a deep breath. "I think the easiest thing to talk about would be my schedule."
Bo let out small laugh. "Talking about the weather would be easier." Lauren glared at her and Bo held up her hands. "I'm just saying your schedule is unpredictable."
Lauren reluctantly nodded in agreement. "It can be, but a majority of the time it isn't." She paused, and when she pressed her lips together Bo smirked and waited for her to get her thoughts together. "I'm willing to take some time off so you can focus on work. I'll still work on my PhD, but I'm thinking about putting medical degree off."
Bo knew how much Lauren felt towards Mylo, but this was surprising. She stared at her for a moment then shook her head. "No, Lauren, that isn't happening. I refuse to let it happen. I'm going to talk to Mark and tell him I don't want to start teaching next semester. I'll do seminars and my speaking engagements but I'll hold off on teaching."
Lauren scoffed and countered, "Bo, you love teaching. I'm not going to let you put it on the back burner for this. I wanted Mylo, you didn't - "
"That's not true," Bo interjected. "And I'll ask you to not say that again to me." She sighed. "You may have asked, but I also put everything in motion so we could keep him. This was a decision we made together."
Lauren took hold of her hand and squeezed it. "I know we did, Bo, and I'm sorry. I know you want, Mylo. I didn't mean it like that."
Bo knew she didn't, but the phrasing still stung. She gave Lauren's hand another squeeze and moved their conversation back to their original topic. "It's easier for me to take a semester off from teaching than it is for you to take time off for your degree." Bo smiled. "Plus, by the time the spring semester rolls around he'll be old enough for day care and I'm sure I can get him into Northwestern's facility. It's not as elite as Harvard but I'm sure it will be just as fine."
"I honestly think the Harvard day care has like a two year waiting list," Lauren said with a small chuckle. She looked at Bo and asked, "Are you sure you want to do this Bo? I'm happy to take the time off because I don't want you to end up resenting me over this."
Bo gave her head a slight shake. "I wouldn't resent you over this, Lauren. Like I said, this is a decision we came to together and we're going to figure out something which will work for the three of us. As of right now, what will work for us is me not teaching this semester."
Lauren held her gaze and bit her bottom lip. Despite the severity of the conversation, Bo couldn't help but to find her more than irresistible. "But then what, Bo? I have my sub-internship after this semester and once I'm done with that I'm going to be tossed into my internship. Neither of those make for a schedule will allow me to be involved with Mylo's care."
Bo drew in a deep breath through her nose and slowly let it out. Lauren was right. Her schedule was only going to allow for so much. She sighed. "We'll cross that bridge when we get to it."
Lauren bit her bottom lip. "We should figure it out now."
"I don't want to think about it right now, Lauren," Bo countered, unable to keep the exasperation from her voice. "All it's going to do is drive us both crazy, and as of right now we don't know what's going to happen a year from now. A lot can happen between now and then." There were several things Bo could think of, but refused to think about them. Instead, she gestured to the bassinet pieces lying on the floor and said, "Can you help me with this stupid thing? I can get it together and I'm like two steps from chucking it off the roof."
Lauren snickered before giving Bo's cheek a kiss. "I'll help you put it together." She took hold of Bo's chin then turned her head to place a soft kiss on her lips. "Bo, relax. It's just a piece of furniture. It's not that big of a deal."
Bo smiled at her. "It isn't, but it is." Her eyes dropped as she admitted. "I feel like if I can't do this then how am I going to be a good parent?"
Lauren pressed a kiss to her forehead and murmured, "Putting this together is different from raising a child. We're also doing this together, so we'll figure it out...together." She gave Bo's forehead another kiss then picked up the instructions. "Now hand me that screwdriver."
It took almost an hour, but they were able to get the bassinet together and put fresh linens on it so Mylo could sleep in it instead of their bed. Bo was cooking her and Lauren dinner when Lauren's phone went off. She closed the heavy book on her lap and got her phone off the coffee table. She looked at the screen and frowned. "My mother is calling."
Bo chuckled. "How much you want to bet my mom called her and told her about Mylo?"
"That sounds like a sucker's bet," Lauren replied, chuckling softly. She answered her phone. "Hey, mom, what's up?"
"You and Bo adopted a child?" Her mother asked getting right to the issue of the day and ignoring all pleasantries.
Lauren moved the book off of her lap and let her head fall back against the couch. She blew out a quiet breath and said, "We did. Well, we'll be his foster parents before he's legally ours."
Her mother scoffed. "Lauren, how are the two of you going to take care of child? You are swamped with your schedule, and Bo just started a new job. Taking care of a child is taking on way too much at once."
Lauren pinched the bridge of her nose. "Mom, we know what we can and cannot handle. And honestly if it becomes too much for Bo and I, I will hold off on medical school until Mylo is older. As of right now though, Bo and I have come up with an arrangement which will benefit all three of us."
Her mother sighed in her ear. "Lauren I'm not trying to come down on you or be judgemental," she explained. "But Aife and I are concerned that you and Bo are trying to do too much too fast. Why did you need to adopt this child?"
Lauren scoffed and retorted in an offhanded manner, "Gee, that doesn't sound judgemental at all, mom." She took a second before backtracking. "I'm sorry, that was unnecessary." Lauren bit the inside of her lip as she realized there was only one answer for the question. "I wanted to be his mom. He came into the hospital and I fell in love with him. That's all I can tell you, and you and Aife can say what you want about Bo and I doing this, but we're happy we did this."
There was a moment of silence then her mother asked, "Mylo?"
Lauren chuckled. "Yes, Mylo. Mylo Anthony Dennis."
Another moment of silence happened then her mom sighed. "Matt is going to be upset you didn't name him after him."
Lauren laughed then said, "Matt will be fine. He doesn't look like a Matthew anyway."
"Yes, well Mylo sounds like a troublemaker already," her mom said with a small chuckle. "I expect pictures of my grandson in an hour, and your father will most likely call you before then since he's going to be over the moon about this. I'll put together a care package and send it to you and Bo. Have you gotten the necessities, especially for the cold weather in Boston?"
Lauren pulled the phone away from her ear and looked at it. The fact her mom wasn't going to grill her anymore was a little shocking. "Yes, Bo and I went to the store and got him a few things. We didn't get him a lot because not only will he grow out of them, but spring will be coming soon so we didn't want to spend a lot of money on clothes."
"That may be, but you might have a longer winter this year. I'll go to the consignment shop to see if I can find anything there and Mrs. Carter down the street might have some stuff from when her grandson was born. Expect a package from me at the end of the week." Lauren's eyebrows furrowed. She still didn't know what to make of this, but before she could ask questions her mom ended the call. "I have to go, Lauren, your dad will be home in a few minutes. He's going to call you, so don't go anywhere."
"Uh...okay, mom," Lauren said uncertain how the conversation had gotten away from her. The call ended and Lauren dropped her phone on the couch, staring at it for a second. The conversation with her mother was a sharp contrast from the conversation she had earlier with Aife. She heard Bo walk over to the couch. "My mom just sort of accepted the fact we adopted Mylo."
Bo chuckled behind her. "I'm not surprised really. You parents have always been understanding, and trust you to do what's right for yourself. My mom is the same way, but she's a little more overbearing about it." She began to make her way over to the stairs and Lauren smiled.
"What are you doing?"
Bo looked at her over her shoulder. "I'm just going to go check on him. He's been quiet."
Lauren got her book and said, "That's because Mylo is a night owl. He stayed up for most of the night while he was at the hospital." She opened the book to the page she had been reading before her mom had called. "I'm hoping it was just the hospital, but since he's sleeping through most of the day, I'm going to say it wasn't."
Bo chuckled as she went up the stairs. "So you two have a lot in common."
Lauren shot her a playful glare. "I don't want to stay up all through the night, but it's the only time I can get any work done."
Bo continued to chuckle as she made her way up to their sleeping area. Lauren went back to work, and she was able to get caught up in it, but then a short while later the doorbell buzzed through the apartment. Lauren muttered, "And the sleeping baby will wake up in..." she counted down in her head, and when Mylo didn't cry, her eyebrows furrowed. Lauren got up and rushed over to the door before the bell could go off again. She opened it and found Lexie standing in the hallway. Lauren was slightly confused, but then she remembered the two of them had a study date. "Oh...we're studying for the boards tonight aren't we?"
Lexie shook her head and walked by her. "I'm not surprised you forgot considering you were off adopting babies and going off on attendings."
Lauren slid the front door close and scoffed. "It was one attending, and I did not go off. Speaking of attendings, Arizona isn't going to go to the coordinator."
Lexie dropped her bag on the couch and turned to look at her, her eyes wide with surprise. "She isn't? What the hell?"
Lauren nodded and walked into the living room. She sat down on the couch. "Her wife came and talked to me. Told me she wasn't going to go because she had talked her down." Lauren picked up the medical reference book she had put to the side. "However, I'm probably going to have to kiss her ass for the next few weeks."
"Who's ass are you kissing? Why are you kissing it? And it better be my ass," Bo said as she walked down the stairs. She smiled at Lexie. "I didn't know we were having dinner guests."
"We don't have dinner guests. Lexie and I are studying for the boards." She chuckled. "And I don't think she wants to hear about me kissing your ass. I was talking about Arizona and how she's not going to go to the coordinator and tell her about me crossing a line."
"Ah. You were born under a lucky star, doctor," Bo said as she walked into the kitchen. "And we do have dinner guests, because I refuse to let you and Lexi study for however many without eating first."
Lauren rolled her eyes, but couldn't fight the smile that broke out on her face. She turned on the couch to look in the kitchen. "My mom is expecting pictures of Mylo. Can you take care of that please and talk to my dad when he calls?"
Bo nodded. "That I can handle. Dinner should be ready in a half-hour." Lauren told her okay then she and Lexie started going through the material they needed to study.
A couple of hours had gone by before Bo had eventually taken Lauren and Lexie's books and told them to come eat. The three of them were sitting at the table when Mylo started crying. Lauren moved to go get him, but Bo shook her head. "Stay and eat. I'll go get him. You've been up with him all night at the hospital so I'm going to get in my bonding time with him."
Lauren chuckled and remarked, "Don't worry, Bo. You're going to get all the bonding time since we've decided I'm going to continue with medical school."
Bo headed for the stairs and said, "And we're going to end that conversation here because I feel like it's going to lead to something which will not be a productive discussion."
Bo went upstairs and Lexie asked, "So if you're staying your path, and Bo is staying hers, who's going to watch the baby?"
Lauren cut off a bite of chicken and ate it. After she swallowed it she said, "Bo's not teaching in the fall. She's going to do seminars and other things, but she's not teaching. We're going to re-evaluate when he's older, but that's the short-term plan."
Lexie nodded then face scrunched up with confusion. "What about your internship and residency?"
Lauren laughed and took a drink of her water. "I was told we will worry about that when we get there. Right now it's all about school, finding a residency program, and the wedding." She groaned as she remembered they still had to plan for it. "The latter of which will give me a migraine."
Lexie laughed and said, "You wanted to get married."
"I wanted to get married to Bo and elope," Lauren pointed out. "There is a difference." She frowned when she realized Mylo was still crying. "Give me a second. I need to go check on those two. Bo's a little apprehensive about him."
A perplexed look came to Lexie's face. "What?"
Lauren grinned. "She thinks she might hurt him. It's adorable really. For someone who wanted kids, she's a little scared of them."
"Stop talking about me and get up here and help me figure out what's wrong with your son," Bo said over the railing of their sleeping area.
Lauren cringed a bit when she heard the slight panic in her voice. She got up from the table and went up to their sleeping area. Lauren walked over to the bassinet since Mylo was still in it while Bo stood next to it. She shook her head. "First, picking him up would be a good idea."
"The flailing of his little arms freaked me out," Bo exclaimed. "I didn't want to hurt him."
Lauren bit the inside of her lip to keep herself from laughing. She picked up Mylo and brought him to her shoulder causing him to quiet down. "He'll be fine. Mylo probably needs a change and some food . It has been awhile since he's last eaten. I'll change him and you can go heat up one of the bottles." Bo looked at her as she rubbed Mylo's back. "What? Do you want to change him?"
Bo thought about then shook her head. "I will go heat up his bottle."
"It shouldn't take too long to heat up since it doesn't need to be too hot," Lauren told her as she walked down the stairs. She kissed the side of Mylo's head and whispered, "She'll get over being cautious about you. In the meantime, you need a diaper change."
Lauren laid him on the bed and changed his diaper. Once she had him changed he was pretty content with life, but she knew it wasn't going to last long if he didn't eat. Lauren picked him up and went downstairs to the kitchen. She walked over to Bo and held out Mylo. Before he had a chance to get upset, Bo took him and held Mylo against her shoulder. "Thank you."
Lauren shook her head then she gave her a kiss. "You have to get over hurting him, Bo. He's not that delicate. In fact, he's pretty resilient, but we're not supposed to test those limits." She rubbed Mylo's back and smiled at her. "You'll be fine with him, and he's going to be fine with you. Just trust your instincts."
Bo drew in a deep breath. "But what if I don't have any instincts? And I end up messing him up or something?"
Lauren frowned. Bo not being sure of herself with Mylo was a little disconcerting and it worried. "Bo, you'll be fine and if you're not I'll be right here." She sighed. "I think I'll stay home tomorrow so you're not by yourself."
Bo shook her head. "I'll be fine tomorrow, Lauren. I'm just over thinking things. Go to the hospital. If worse comes to worse, I'm pretty damn good at putting his seat in the car and we can come to the hospital."
Lauren couldn't help but to chuckle at that. She gave her another kiss and said, "That you can. Will you be okay to feed him or do you want me to?"
Bo glanced at Mylo, who was resting on her shoulder, and smiled. "I think we will be fine. Go finish eating so you can study."
Lauren returned Bo's smile and she took in the sight of her and Mylo for a second. She had never felt such happiness before. Sure, she and Bo were happy, but the addition of Mylo added something else which completed that happiness and it amazed her. She gave Bo one more kiss then whispered, "I love you."
"I love you too. Now go finish eating and let me go feed our son," Bo said with a small grin.
Lauren left the kitchen and went back to the dining room table. She heard Lexie chuckle. "What?"
"You are ridiculously happy right now, and it's slightly disgusting," she said as she scooped rice onto her fork. "I mean, you and Bo are normally gross, but now I feel like I'm going to throw up."
Lauren rolled her eyes and remarked, "I'll remember this for when you finally start dating and you become all gross and happy."
Lexie scoffed. "Unlike you, Miss-takes-on-the-world, I'm going to focus on becoming a successful doctor first."
Lauren smirked. "Sure you are." She went back to eating and as she did she glanced at Bo in the kitchen. She was talking to Mylo and Lauren smiled. "And it's not too bad to take on the world when it makes you happy."
Lexie grunted and grabbed a piece of bread. "If you say so. Hurry up and eat. I don't want to be up late studying. I have to be at the hospital at six. Early surgery."
Lauren nodded, but as she finished eating she kept her eye on Bo and Mylo. Not because she was worried, but because she amazed by how much their life had changed over the last twenty-four hours.
Bo heard the crying; her mind had even registered it, but her body refused to make the necessary movements for her to get up and go check on Mylo. Instead she pulled the pillow over her head and hoped he would cry himself back to sleep. The crying didn't go away. Instead it got worst, and woke up Lauren. Bo resigned to the fact that she would have get him; she wanted Lauren to get as much sleep as possible. She moved to get out of bed and Lauren said, "I can grab him, Bo."
"Go back to sleep," Bo said with a tired chuckle. "Me and Mylo can spend a couple hours together."
Lauren mumbled an okay as Bo fumbled to put on her robe. After she tied it close she rubbed her face then sighed as she walked over to the bassinet. She picked up Mylo and made a shushing noise while rubbing his back. "It's okay, little guy, I've got you. We are going to go downstairs and get you fed and changed."
"Cream," Lauren said in a sentence that was more mumble than actual words.
Bo pressed her lips together for a second then said, "All right then." She and Mylo went downstairs and headed for the kitchen. Bo put one of the bottles Lauren had made into the bottle warmer then went into the living room to go change Mylo. She had changed him several times throughout the night after Lauren had shown her a few times. She felt more than confident about changing his diaper. Bo also felt like this parenting thing wasn't as scary as she was making it out to be. Bo closed the buttons on the jumpsuit he was wearing and said, "There you go, buddy. Fresh diaper and I think your bottle should be just about ready."
Bo picked him up off the couch and went into the kitchen. She got his bottle and the two of them went into the living room. Once she was comfortable on the couch, Bo placed her feet on the edge of the coffee table then laid Mylo on her thighs at an angle. She liked this position better than holding him. The kid got hot and she was a naturally warm person so it annoyed the both of them. Bo put the bottle in his mouth and grinned.
Mylo was a good eater, but he was definitely a night owl, and the night was Lauren's thing not Bo's. However, they decided to take turns for when he woke up since it seemed like a logical plan. But what they didn't take into account was how many times he would wake up. This was Mylo's second time waking up during the night and it was only three in the morning. Bo sighed. She hoped this wouldn't become a habit.
Bo let her head fall back against the couch and thought about what she had planned for the day. She wasn't going to go to the university since she would have Mylo, but at some point and she would have to go there and talk to Therese about her not teaching in the fall. They would also need to come up with an alternate plan; taking care of a baby on top of teaching multiple classes sounded as thrilling as being a med student. Bo chuckled at her joke then exhaled through her nose. She actually had no problem pushing back teaching for another semester. It would give her some time to plan out a decent course structure for her advance classes.
Her mind wandered to her mom. Bo had no idea what she was going to do with her about this whole Mylo situation. It was a done deal and it wasn't something she would regret doing. He made both she and Lauren happy. She lowered her head and looked at Mylo. He was still eating, but his eyes were close. Bo grinned. She was definitely happy, and more than prepared to do whatever needed to be done so she was his mom. This also reminded her she needed to get the financial documentation to the lawyer. She groaned and said to Mylo in a quiet voice, "Looks like we're going to run some errands today, buddy." Mylo continued to eat and Bo chuckled. He didn't care what was going on as long as he had food and a clean diaper.
Bo grinned as she continued to watch him to eat. Right before he finished off the bottle she pulled it out of his mouth and he started to cry. Bo tossed a cloth diaper over her shoulder and brought him up to his shoulder, patting his back to calm him down and get him to burp. She managed to get him to do the latter but Mylo was still crying. At a loss of what to do, Bo got up and began to walk around with Mylo while rubbing his back. After a couple of minutes he was still crying and Bo started to panic. She went up to the sleeping area and Lauren was already sitting up in bed. "I'm sorry, but he won't stop."
Lauren let out a tired chuckle. "Look in his bassinet and see if his pacifier is in there. He might need another bottle. I made them small because I didn't want him to overeat considering everything."
Bo got Mylo's pacifier and put it in his mouth. He sucked on it for a minute or two then he spat it out, resuming his crying session. Bo looked at Lauren and she held out her arms. She walked over to her side of the bed and handed her Mylo. Lauren put him up to her shoulder and started to pat his back. "Go get him another bottle. Hopefully he will calm down before it's finished."
Bo scoffed and muttered, "That sounds highly doubtful." She went down the stairs and rushed into the kitchen. She knew that babies weren't always cute and predictable, but Mylo seemed like he wanted to test out their limits. She got a bottle out the fridge and put it in the bottle warmer. As she waited she pressed the heels of her palms to her eyes. It was going to be a long night.
By the time the timer for the warmer went off, Mylo had calmed down. Bo went up to her and Lauren's room, and she found Lauren slowly pacing around as she softly hummed to Mylo. A smile came to Bo's face. Lauren may not have been sure about children, but she was such a natural with them. It amazed Bo and made her fall even more in love with her. She was pulled from her enamoured thoughts of Lauren when the other woman said, "The look on your face says you would propose to me if you could."
Bo chuckled. "Good thing we've already gotten that out of the way." She walked over and gave her the bottle. Lauren smiled at her as she took it. Bo peeked around her shoulder to see if Mylo was still up and he was. She shook her head and chuckled. "He's not normal is he? Isn't he supposed to sleep for hours on end? Like a cat?" Lauren gawked at Bo. "What?"
A small laugh came from Lauren as she walked over to the bed. She sat down on it and glanced up at Bo. "You just compared your son to a cat."
"Oh." Bo laughed a little then moved to go join Lauren on the bed. "Sorry. I just didn't have a better comparison."
Lauren got Mylo situated against her then began to feed him. She looked at Bo and smiled. "And that is the best you could come up with, professor?" Bo shrugged and Lauren chuckled. "I think we should get a rocking chair up here and downstairs. He likes the motion."
Bo gently stroked Mylo's hair with her fingertips. "I'll see what I can arrange today." She looked into Lauren's eyes and smiled. "I told you would be a great mom."
Lauren rolled her eyes and remarked, "I'm just barely getting by, but thank you though."
"I'm serious, Lauren. You're a natural at it." She chuckled. "I am so unsure and panicky; I'm certain Mylo is picking up on it, but you...you amaze me. I'm glad at least one of us is good at this parenting thing."
Lauren smiled and leaned over to give her a kiss. It lingered for a moment then she pulled back to prevent Mylo from getting upset. She glanced down at him and grinned. "You'll get there, Bo. You're doing better and soon Mylo will have two awesome moms taking care of him."
Bo looked down at the baby, and Mylo's eyes were closed, but he was still eating. She grinned. "Yeah he will, but you're the better one."
Lauren chuckled. "Go to sleep, Bo. I'm sure he'll be out after he's eaten."
Bo shook her head. "Nope. I'm not going to sleep until you're going to sleep. I feel like I cheated since it's supposed to be my turn."
Lauren smirked. "I was up anyway. I know you don't do well with waking up in the middle of the night. You like to get your sleep then wake up at ungodly hours."
Bo chuckled and rested her head on Lauren's shoulder so she could watch Mylo eat. "It's not my fault my schedule requires me to be up at normal times."
Lauren hummed and kissed the top of her head. The two of them remained quiet as they watched Mylo finish off his second bottle. When he was done Lauren pulled the bottle away from his mouth and brought him up to her shoulder. She patted his back for a couple minutes then a small burp came from him. Bo chuckled as Lauren got up to Mylo in his bassinet. Once he was settled in it she climbed back into bed and cuddled up to Bo. She kissed the top of Lauren's head and wrapped her arm around her waist. Bo closed her eyes, and right as she was drifting off Lauren started to undo the sash on her robe. She chuckled murmured, "Lauren, you have to be up in three hours. Go to sleep."
Lauren kissed the centre of her chest and whispered, "But you're up and I'm up..." She ran her hand up the outside of Bo's thigh.
Bo chuckled and took hold of the roaming hand. She brought it up to her mouth and kissed the palm of it. "That we are, but we're going to go to sleep. Not only do we have a baby, who will probably wake up in a few hours, but you are going to have a long day. Go to sleep."
Lauren groaned and said, "You are no fun right now."
Bo chuckled. She gave her kiss. "I'll be fun later. Right now, we're going to sleep."
Lauren pinched her side and Bo hissed in pain. "I doubt I'll be any fun later." Bo laughed quietly and got comfortable. Lauren did the same and she whispered, "I love you, Bo."
"I love you too, Lauren," she said with a small smile playing at her lips. If this was what middle of the night feedings were like then they weren't going to be too terrible.
Y'all it has been so long since I last uploaded anything to FF that I honestly don't like it anymore. Wild. Anyways...here's an update *runs away* Love you guys, see you next year.
