"May I?" Bella beamed as she walked over to her friend Casey.
"Sure" Casey said as she handed the blanket buddled baby to her close friend. It had been about a month since they had seen each other but she knew Bella would love the baby time she got with alexander. Not that Bella wanted children now, but baby fever had set in since most of her friend were either pregnant or just had babies, it just wasnt her time. Paul was gone a lot for work, but that didnt mean Bella couldnt have her baby time and go back "normal" after, so to speak.
Cooing at alexander, bella craddle him closely. She watched him yawn but keep his eyes closed. "Hows he been?" she asked as she and her friend started to walk around campus.
"Eh...he sleeps most of the time. Except at night. He eats a lot...normal baby stuff." Casey shrugged her shoulders and readjusted the diaper bag.
"How are you?" Bella asked, craddling alexander closer.
"Good, tired...glad to be out of the house."
They walked down to the cafeteria, still chatting away and sat at a table. "Im going to get a drink, are you ok with alexander till then?" questioned casey. Bella nodded and kept her eyes on the baby. He slowly blinked his eyes as Casey walked away.
"Hey there little guy..." cooing, bella bounced the baby softly. Suddenly he began to cry, nothing huge but enough to shock bella. "Aw...whats wrong? Hungry? Need a diaper change" bella rattled off a list of things even though she knew he couldnt answer.
"Try the paci" casey called over. "In the pocket on the front." Smirking Casey walked over, dug through the bag and handed Bella the pacifier.
"Thanks" rubbing the pacifier against alexander's lips until he opened his mouth and took the pacifier and began to suck at it. Smiling, casey watched her friend hold her son.
"You know...your next" Casey laughed. Bella's head shot up, eyes wide with shock.
"Wha-...No...Paul isnt ready, I'm not ready." Casey laughed as she watch her friend babble and come up with excuses as to why she wasn't ready or didnt want children. "Oh calm down ya nut! I was just saying, you have baby fever and if you could you'd probably try to get pregnant. Paul isn't even here, so theres no way it would happen. For now...you could settle for helping with alexander...get your baby fever under control and not freak paul out every time he sees you with a baby." Casey shook her head and laughed again. Bella shrugged, looking into alexanders blue eyes, leaned forward and placed a gentle kiss on top of his head.
