They suddenly heard crying from the nursery because Katie had woke up. Billy began to get up out of bed and go tend to her, but Phyllis stopped him.
"I'll go take care of her, baby. Just lay here and think more about how amazing our family is," said Phyllis, and she kissed him passionately, then she stepped out of their bedroom and into the nursery.
Katie looked at Phyllis and held her arms up. As Phyllis picked her up, she carried Katie into the kitchen to prepare her a bottle, while Katie whined lightly on Phyllis' chest.
"Here you go, sweet girl. Phyllis has your bottle ready now." Katie smiled at Phyllis and happily took the bottle from Phyllis' hand, then put it into her mouth.
Meanwhile, as Phyllis snuggled with Katie while she was having her morning bottle, Billy had went into Johnny's room to see if he was awake yet.
"Daddy!" Johnny said, with his eyes widened, and hopped out of his toddler bed and into Billy's arms.
"Yeah, buddy. I hope you slept well. Who's daddy's best friend? Say, who is daddy's one and only best friend?" Billy cradled Johnny in his arms, leaned him over one of his arms gently, and blew little Johnny a raspberry on his tummy. Johnny was giggling so hard, that he almost couldn't breathe anymore!
"Me, daddy! I'm your best friend!" Johnny said while laughing really hard and staring at Billy.
"I knew it! I just knew you were!" Billy said, as he continued to tickle Johnny.
Phyllis overheard them in Katie's room and giggled a little. She looked at little Katie and smiled.
"Come on baby, let's go see what those two silly boys are goofing around about." And so Phyllis put Katie down to let her walk, and headed into Johnny's room, with Katie toddling right behind her.
"Hi Phyllis!" exclaimed Johnny, and ran up to her to hug her. Phyllis picked Johnny up and laughed.
"Hello, little man. What are you and your daddy doing in here? Sounds like you're having a lot of fun!"
Phyllis gently tickled Johnny on his side, and he squealed and giggled.
While Phyllis was playing with Johnny, Katie toddled over to Billy and he lifted her on his lap.
"Da da," Katie said, as she took her tiny hand and mashed gently on his lips.
"Hello, princess. Daddy loves you." Billy stroked her baby fine strands of hair and kissed Katie on the cheek.
As Phyllis held Johnny in her arms, she looked over at Billy and Katie and couldn't help but show a smile on her face. She then looked at Johnny, who was playing with her hair and giggling. The more time she was spending with her new family, the more blessed she felt. She knew that a true, loving family couldn't get any better than the family she now had.
