Chapter Six:

"Honey I'm home!" Ike called as he came around the corner into the living room.

I shot him a look, "Shh Ike. You'll wake her."

Ike stopped and frowned, "Sorry," He whispered and sat down on the sofa beside me. "Hello my princess," He whispered to our daughter.

I smiled at him, "I just got her to go to sleep."

"Jenny is one stubborn baby."

"Ah, I blame you on that one," I said as I started to rock Jenny slowly back and forth.

Ike frowned, "Why me?"

"Because you are stubborn," I stood up and walked down the hall.

Ike followed behind me, "But you are stubborn too. Look who you were raised by. Artemis is super stubborn."

I laid Jenny down in her crib and kissed the top of her head softly. "I know that," I whispered back at Ike, "Now come on, let's get out of here before she wakes up again."

Ike backed out of Jenny's room and I followed him back to the sofa. "So how was the team today?" I asked.

Ike shrugged, "Fine. Marcie stopped by. She chatted for awhile, asked how you and Jenny were and then left. You know cause she still has her own kids to take care of."

I nodded and rested my head against the back of the sofa, "I have one kid and I'm always so tried how does Marcie take care of her monsters?"

Ike laughed, "I actually asked her, she said it gets easy as they get older."

I rolled my eyes, "Sure. Whatever. My mom says all the time that Marcie, Parker, and I only got worst as we got older."

Ike smiled, "And Jenny could be even worst she could get both our powers."

I glared at him, "Shut up Ike."

Ike smiled, "I love you."

I shook my head, "I love you too."

Ike pulled me towards him and I rested my head on his chest, "Do you think we will have other kids."

I sighed, "I don't know. Maybe. It depends. Don't ask me these questions Ike! Don't."

Ike laughed and wrapped his arm around me, "Sorry, I know Jenny, being a new baby and all, is stressing you."

I sighed, "Yes. I mean I love Jenny she is the best thing since marrying you that has happened to me. She's my angel, but when I'm up at midnight holding her while she cries I feel like a bad mom. And I worry."

Ike squeezed me, "You aren't a bad mom. And if Jenny is a little weird, so what? She has me for a dad."

I laughed, "I guess you are right."

Ike kissed me on the top of the head, "I'm always right."

I laughed, "Sure Ike, sure."

Ike smiled down at me, "I am."

I looked up at him, "Okay."

Ike leaned towards me and was about to kiss me when...

A wail erupted from Jenny's room. I sighed, "And she's awake."

Ike shook his head, "I'll get her," He stood up and walked out of the room. I heard him push open the door. "It's okay baby girl. Daddy's here. Daddy's here." And slowly Jenny's cries slowed and stopped.

I smiled to myself and stood up. I walked down the hall and stood in the door way of Jenny's room.

"Hush little baby," Ike sang softly as he rocked her, "don't you cry." He hummed the rest. And Jenny's big blue eyes just stared at Ike. Ike held his finger in front of her and Jenny gripped it. "I love you baby girl. You will always be my princess."

I smiled and walked up behind Ike, "You are my princess too Jenny. Don't let him tell you different."

Ike looked at me and smiled. Jenny's eyes scanned my face and she released Ike's finger. Her tiny hand waved at me. I held out my hand to her and Jenny latched on. "She is so beautiful," Ike laughed.

I looked at Jenny and kissed her on the head, "We love you Jenny."

Jenny waved her free hand at Ike. Ike laughed, "What baby girl?"

Jenny kept waving her hand, "She wants to hold on to your finger," I told Ike.

Ike smiled and gave Jenny his finger, "There you go my little angel."

Jenny gave us her baby smile, but didn't let go. I sighed, "It's going to be hard to let her grow up."

Ike nodded, "Though she keeps us up, it's moments like this that make me love her so much."

I nodded, "She's such a monster but knows how to charm us to death."

Ike laughed an poked Jenny's stomach softly, "Did you hear that, your mommy called you a monster."

I shook my head, "Don't worry Jenny, your daddy was a monster when we were kids too."

Jenny blinked and her grip on my finger started to loosen, "She's falling back asleep," Ike said and he started to hum.

Jenny watched him her eyes full of amazement and slowly her finger let go and her arms fell back to her sides. Her big eyes fluttered and then shut all together. Her mouth opened in a little 'O' and she was back asleep.

Ike kissed her head softly and laid her back in her crib, "I love you baby girl. My sweet little angel," He whispered.

I took his hand and nodded, "Come on let her sleep."

Ike smiled and we walked out into the hall, Ike wrapped his arm around me, "I love her."

I smiled at him, "She is going to have you wrapped around her finger Ike."

Ike kissed my cheek, "I guess so. I mean you already have me that way."

I laughed, "Maybe, once Jenny is older, if she is okay, we should have more kids. Only if you haven't mess Jenny up totally."

"Me?" Ike laughed.

I smiled and kissed him, "I love you Ike."

Ike shook his head, "And I love you."

I yawned, "Well now that Jenny is out cold for the night, night. I'm going to bed."

Ike nodded, "I'm coming too."

"Okay, but please don't hog the covers tonight."

Ike shrugged, "No promises."

I glared at him, "I'll make you sleep on the sofa."

Ike laughed, "No thanks."

I smiled, "I thought so."

And together Ike and I laid down and I curled up into his chest. "Goodnight Ike, I love you."

Ike kissed me on the forehead, "Goodnight Norah, I love you too."

And together we drifted off into a deep sleep.

Author's Note:

I know, I know I'm a horrible person. I haven't updated in forever. But like I told my friend being a Fanfiction writer is HARD! Writer's block is the worst thing ever.

But not to fear I'm back with this chapter about Jenny.

Okay.
