a/n: Here's another oneshot for the collection. It's kind of short but oh well! Short and sweet :) Oh and I am trying to write one of these oneshots about how Auggie and Annie chose the names for their daughters...but my mind is drawing a blank and I am having a hard time figuring out how to do it...so if any of you have any ideas, please write them in a review or PM me :) thanks so much for your help!

Perfect
Auggie took a deep breath, letting it out slowly and opening his eyes. The endless darkness met his tired gaze. He turned his head to the side, listening for something. He found what he was looking for. Auggie smiled as he heard his wife's quite breathing, reaching a hand over to brush a strand of hair from her face.
With a contented sigh, Auggie let his hand ghost over his wife's cheek, allowing it to pass along down her shoulder and her arm, coming to a rest over her hand. He gave her hand a gentle squeeze before leaning over and giving her a light kiss on the cheek.
Then, as quietly as he could, Auggie lifted himself from their bed. He tiptoed over to the chair in the corner, where his robe always lay. He gathered it up and slipped it on over his boxers before he exited the bedroom.
Prowling silently down the hallway, Auggie slipped into a room not far from his own. He didn't turn on any lights, since they would be pointless given his lack of eyesight and, besides, he had been in the room so many times that he already knew the layout by heart. He smiled as he headed straight for the window. Or more specifically, the crib underneath it.
"Hello, Caitlin," he whispered as he reached for the crib, leaning down to kiss the top of the baby's head.
As if sensing her father's presence, the little girl's eyes flew open. She gurgled happily and reached her tiny hands towards him.
"I'm sorry I woke you," Auggie said, lifting the little girl into his arms and cradling her against his chest.
Caitlin gave another happy gurgle and a sigh, curling up against her father and falling back asleep.
"Isn't she beautiful?" Annie whispered, appearing behind Auggie. He nodded as she wrapped her arms around his waist, resting her head on his shoulder.
"Tell me again what she looks like."
"Well, she has your nose," Annie said, and Auggie could hear the smile in her voice, "Your nose and your hands."
"Yes," Auggie said, leaning his cheek against Annie, "I'll bet she's as beautiful as her mother. She probably has your lovely eyes and your gorgeous smile."
"Actually, her eyes are blue."
A look of confusion painted Auggie's features, "But we both have brown eyes. It's very unlikely that our child would have blue eyes. Blue is recessive."
Annie shrugged against his back, "I don't really want to go into the biology of it all right now, Auggie."
"She's beautiful."
"Annie gave a 'hmm' of agreement, reaching up one hand to stroke the baby's cheek, "She's wonderful."
Auggie shook his head, "Not just wonderful, she's perfect."
Annie giggled, "Yes, she is. And she should also be in bed, like a certain man I know."
"Yeah, okay," Auggie sighed, lowering Caitlin back into the crib and allowing Annie to lead him from the room. She pulled him back into their bedroom and took his robe, tossing it back onto the chair. She then climbed back into the bed, followed quickly by Auggie.
Auggie lay down beside his wife, wrapping an arm around her waist as she tucked herself against him.
"Annie," he whispered, resting his forehead against hers.
"Hmm?" she hummed, nearly asleep in his arms.
"I love you," he pressed his lips against hers in a gentle kiss.
Annie smiled, returning the kiss and whispering, "I love you too."
