Peggy was doing the dishes, cups and plates and baby bottles and everything else had to be cleaned so that she could prepare diner later. She looked over at the clock above the kitchen door. It was five PM.
Three cups and a plate were done when a shierk filled the air. A cry from a young infant who was hungry or needed a clean diaper or anything it possibly needed. She walked to the living room to get her newborn son. His face was red because of all the cries that took all his energy from his tiny body.
Peggy bow forward and took him in her arms. "Ssst, I'm here." And gave him a kiss on his tiny forehead. That's when she smelled it.
"Micheal you seriously could destroy the whole city." The smell of poop was all around him as she continued crying. "Let's get you a clean diaper." Peggy held him close to her chest and brought him upstairs to the nursery.
With one hand she took everything that she needed, a towel, papers, one fresh diaper and everything else and in the other she held her son close to him, to protect him from any possible danger and his cries faded slowly until it was completely silent, except for the sound of both of them breathing.
"Don't pee on me this time darling." She said while she cleaned him up. The sound of a car got her attention as she threw away the dirty diaper and walked to the window. Her husband got out of the car and looked at the house.
The kind eyes of Daniel Sousa, her husband she had been married to for just over a year looked at her and smiled. A smile she returned from where she was.
"How was your day?" Peggy said to Daniel as she came her way down the stairs. Their son now asleep in her arms. "Good, working on the cases as usual. How is he." The love in his eyes for his son made Peggy so happy to have a child with him, a family.
"He is doing alright." Was all Peggy said as she looked lovely at her son and back at Daniel. "Peg and you?" he stood before her now. "Tired, but I can handle it." He knew enough, he knew when Peggy was lying.
"Peggy?" he looked her straight in the eyes. "I could sleep for days." Was all she said to answer him. "Well now you can, I arranged a week off."
Peggy's eyes got wide. She didn't have payment leave and now he stopped working, had he lost his mind? "Daniel!" Peggy said it a bit to hard because their son had woken up in her arms again.
Daniel took his son from Peggy and kissed Micheal's cheek kindly. "No need to worry. I arranged that I get paid while I help with Micheal. I know you are exhausted Peg." Daniel caught Peggy's eyes.
"You are to good of a man, Daniel. How I deserved you, I have no idea." A sarcastic, but yet playful tone. They shared a lovely kiss and the three of got together to the living room to spend the night. "I could ask myself the same question."
