Romeo and Indi lay in their bed at the farmhouse, enjoying the unusual peace around them. "Dex, must have gone to work." Romeo told Indi.
"Hmm.." Indi closed her eyes and ran her fingers down Romeo's chest. Just as they were both about to fall asleep again. Ella woke them up with her cries.
Romeo was the first to get out of bed to tend to their daughter who was snuggled in her moses basket. "Hey.. shh.." Romeo picked her up and cradled her as he walked back to his and Indi's bed. Indi sat up when he got in.
"What's wrong?" Sasha burst through into their room.
"Sash?" Indi questioned.
"Sorry, I just heard her crying and got worried."
Romeo looked at Sasha and smiled. "Babies cry Sash. It's cool."
"Oh I know but.. yeah okay.. can I take her?"
"Give us a few minutes with her Sasha." Indi told her as she kissed Ella's forehead.
Sasha sighed. "Fine." and left the room.
"Wow, she takes the role of Aunty very seriously."
"Almost too seriously. But it's nice knowing she cares so much."
"Yeah it is."
"Have you told your sister about Ella?" Indi asked as she tied her hair up into a messy bun.
"Nope."
"Why not?"
"She didn't even congratualte us when I told her you were pregnant."
"Oh."
They stayed in bed for a while longer. Romeo cuddled Ella closer to his chest while he showered her with kisses. Indi watched in admiration of her husband and his affection for their daughter. She reached over to the bedside table to get her phone and took a photo.

morning cuddles and kisses from her daddy.
A few moments later Sasha walked in again. "Can I have her now?"
"Yes but don't you have work to do?"
"I'm going to do it when Casey comes over?"
"Casey's coming over? What if Dad comes back?" Indi asked as Sasha walked over to their bed.
"Then he'll have to suck it up and accept it because I like Casey and he likes me."
"Fair enough." Romeo added as Sasha took Ella from his arms.
"Hey beautiful. Look at you." Sasha cooed as she walked away with Ella. Romeo and Indi lay back down.
"Sasha reminds me of you." Romeo told Indi as he lay on top of her stroking the side of her thigh.
"What?" Indi asked as she raised an eyebrow at him.
"Stubborn, head strong yet she has a warm heart."
"Aww thank you." Indi kissed him. "I'm going to take a shower." Romeo rolled over onto his back and grabbed Indi's pillow for extra support on his neck. "Alright. Don't take too long."
"I won't." Indi told him as she walked out.
