Coulson's Point of View
Lily's First Day at Home
Day one at home with a newborn in never easy but when Melinda May is the baby's mom, well that's ones stubborn kid. Lily was happy all day, didn't cry once, she just babbled away to herself. As soon as night fell it was a different story. I had told Melinda to go to bed early she was exhausted and deserved a rest. She reluctantly agreed after I swore to her I had things handled. I was wrong.
I swear to you the minute it got dark she turned into this screaming monster. No matter what I tried she just screamed louder, scrunching her little face up and making little fists that she waved furiously as she screamed. I desperately tired to silence her but it was no use, so I took her out in the car a drive so she wouldn't wake her mom. As I carried her out I kept whispering, "Shh its ok daddy is here, please stop crying so mommy can get some sleep!" For a minute as I buckled her in I thought it worked. But a few seconds later she was howling louder than a banshee.
I quickly got in the car and took off. I drove round in endless circles until Lily finally dozed off. I breathed a sigh of relief as drove home and carried her to her crib. I thought I was finally going to get to sleep but the minute I laid her down her little eyes open and so did her mouth. I rubbed my tired eyes and scoped her up again, pacing the room as I tried to soothe her. I was getting desperate when Melinda appeared in the doorway with a bottle. "This might work." She yawned. "Hey I told you I got this!" I said as she took Lily from me.
"I know you did and I cant thank you enough for letting me get those few hours sleep, but its your turn now. Go sleep your daughter will still be here, crying in the morning." Mel joked. "You sure?" I asked. "Phil I got this from here." She replied. I nodded and kissed her. After that I turned to Lily, "Go easier on mommy than you did daddy ok?" I whispered into her little ear before kissing her to. "Night." I said as I made the short walk to bed, where I collapsed into a peaceful sleep.
Melinda May's Point of View
Lily was a little angel all day in the house. She didn't mind the curses of Phil as he built the crib, she didn't mind the curses of me when she threw up on me for the 7th time that day. No nothing seemed to bother her, until night fell. The minute it got dark the Lily demon appeared. Her little lungs could hold some air as she screamed for hours on end. Phil the life saver had offered to take over so I could get some slepp. I was incredibly grateful as I fell into bed, where sleep consumed me in seconds.
I wasn't disturbed until I heard Lily scream again in the middle of the night. I checked the clock and was shocked at how long I had slept. I decided Phil needed a break to, so I went to relief him. I found him in the nursery pacing so I went and made a bottle before returing to help. When I offered to let him get some sleep he looked so relieved. He quickly left me to it as I started to feed Lily her bottle.
Thankfully she was hungry and as she drained the remainder of the bottle her little eyes started to close. I quickly winded her before she was out of it. it didn't take long and within a few minutes she was sleeping peacefully in my arms. I decided not to risk putting her in the crib for a while so instead I sat holding her. After an hour and a half I decided there was no way she would wake up now, so I gently put her in the crib and pulled her pink blanket up over her. I kissed her lightly on the head, turned on the monitor and backed slowly out of the room.
When I reached my own bed it was like heaven to put my head on the pillow again. "We did good!" Phil whispered as he pulled me in for a cuddle. "Yeah we did!" I replied. However it didn't last long as a few seconds later there was a loud cry from the room next door. "Rock, Paper, Scissors?" Phil suggested. I laughed at first thinking he was joking, then I realised how good of an idea it was, "ROCK!" I screamed. Phil chose scissors, which earned a loud, "SHIT!" as he got up to comfort our screaming daughter. I giggled as he got up to get her. I expected him to be away to morning and was surprised to see him return with Lily in his arms.
"She wants her mommy!" he said as eh placed her in-between us. "Liar!" I laughed as I played with her little hands. "Huh am I lying? Then why did she stop when I brought her in here?" he smirked. "Because she got what she wanted, she manipulated daddy! She is totally going to have you wrapped around her little finger when she is older!" I laughed. "Wouldn't have it any other way!" he replied as he tickled Lily.
Hope you enjoyed :-) Until next time ;-)
