Christian's POV
I forgot how exhausting newborns were. Emma is no exception. Ana and I were up with her six times last night. Three were for feedings, two diaper changes and one cuddling session. Luckily Carson didn't hear her. I cook breakfast for Carson. Ana feeds the baby. Our family is due around noon, so I need to go to the store to buy some barbeque necessities. Plus I need to buy some baby sunblock. The good shit, not the stuff that wears off in an hour.
" Dad, can I go with you to the store?", Carson asks me. He's still in his pajamas.
" Sure, as your mother if she wants to go.", I tell him. He runs off to talk to Ana. She comes back with Carson and Emma five minutes later.
" We'll go with you. I just need to change her and get her dressed. You wanna help little man?", she turns to Carson. He nods and runs to the nursery where all Emma's clothes are. We dress her up in a little pink headband with a bow, a pink ladybug romper and pink ladybug shoes. My daughter looks adorable. We slip a pacifier in her mouth and then buckle her into her car seat. I lock her car seat into the base in the car. Ana sits in the front seat today. I look in the rear-view mirror and see Carson making funny faces at Emma. Emma watches with curiosity. She can't smile yet but my little girl will learn soon.
When we get to the store, we put Emma's car seat in the cart. Carson holds Ana's hand through the store as we pick up things we need. Emma falls asleep halfway through our shopping trip. Carson begs for cookies and sugary cereals. We let him have one package of cookies but he's only allowed two a day. As we shop, people comment on how adorable our children are and I can't help but agree with them. We have the two most gorgeous children. Emma starts fussing though, so Ana pulls her out of the car seat and hands her to me. She's only three days old but she is a daddy's girl. Ana pushes the cart and Carson holds onto the side while I carry Emma. I gently pat her butt with one hand while holding her head with the other.
We check out and I gently put Emma back in her car seat. She is not happy about it and screams almost the whole way home. Carson plugs his fingers in his ears. He frowns and looks at the baby. I rush home and pull Emma out of her car seat. She nuzzles her head into my shirt and stops crying. All of us let out a deep breath. My baby girl does not like not getting what she wants. We get the baby inside and put her in her rock n play sleeper. It's like a bouncer but it dips in. It'll keep her head supported. Luckily she's exhausted from the crying so she falls asleep almost as soon as I lay her down in it. I then bring in the groceries and out them in the fridge.
Our family slowly starts to arrive and hog my daughter. Carson gets cranky because she's his sister and he isn't getting his cuddle time with her. Ana steals her to feed her and lather her up with sunscreen. Carson has tummy time with her after she's been fed, burped and changed. After tummy time, we take her outside with the rest of the family. They all coo over her. Carson plays on his playground while I cook the food.
Our family leaves around three pm. Ana and I sit on the couch with Carson while Emma naps. He's slowly dozing off. We'll wake him up in half an hour so he isn't up all night. I pick him up and carry him to his bed. I remember putting him into his crib when he was Emma's age. He was colicky and hated being in it. He'd scream and cry until one of us, usually me would walk around with him. He was a difficult baby but I wouldn't change it for the world. He's perfect. I'm excited to see what he'll do when he's older.
I sit awake that night. Emma is on my bare chest and Ana lays next to me. Carson is sleeping in his room. I never imagined my life would be like this. I thought Carson would be my only child and that I'd be tied to Elena for the rest of my life. When I met Ana, she captured my heart the moment I met her. She gave me a beautiful little girl and a happy family. I wouldn't trade her for the world. I love her too much to hurt her and if I ever did, I'd make myself suffer. She became my son's mother when she didn't have to. She put up with the drama surrounding our relationship. I can never thank her enough for sticking with me. For not leaving when things got tough.
The future will no doubt be a happy one as long as Ana is in my life. She is the thing we were missing. She's my heart. I'd do anything for her. Carson finally has a mother who takes care of him. He has a little sister whom he adores. My little monkey. She's so beautiful. She's the vision of health and beauty. My daughter will want for nothing. My family will want for nothing. I will take care of them until I am dead and god knows I'll try way after that. My family is everything.
