Shy-Diapers Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Elizabeth sniffled and quietly sobbed as she tried to explain what happened to her father. "I I I, I had an accident." Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted October 9, 2015 Author Share Posted October 9, 2015 Luke sighed as he sat up slowly, trying not to disturb Emme and Julia. "It's okay," he said as he got up and shuffled towards the door. "Come on, let's get cleaned up." Link to comment
Shy-Diapers Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Elizabeth nodded and wiped her eyes on her long sleeves. "I'm sorry Daddy." She said, knowing if she had worn her pull-up like she was supposed to, this wouldn't have happened. Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted October 9, 2015 Author Share Posted October 9, 2015 Luke ushered the girl into the bathroom. "Why didn't you put your pull up on before bed? You know you're supposed to wear one at night," he scolded gently as he started pulling her pajamas off. Link to comment
Shy-Diapers Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 "Cuz! It makes me feel like a baby." Elizabeth said truthfully. "Besides you didn't even notice cuz you were too busy with her!" She said sounding both upset and hurt at the same time. Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted October 9, 2015 Author Share Posted October 9, 2015 "I wasn't too busy with Emme, I was just really tired," Luke said. "Daddy hasn't slept in a long time." He finished cleaning Elizabeth and led her to her room, where he handed her a pull up and dry pajamas. "Get dressed," he said as he started pulling the wet sheets off the bed. Link to comment
Shy-Diapers Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Elizabeth frowned but knew not to push the issue with her father. She reluctantly got her pull-up on and her pajamas. "Can I sleep with you?" She asked almost pleading. "Please?" Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted October 9, 2015 Author Share Posted October 9, 2015 Luke sighed. He knew he wouldn't get any sleep with two kids in the bed, but was sure it would only fuel the girl's resentment towards Emme if he said no. "Okay. But only for tonight. You have to be still and go right to sleep." Link to comment
Shy-Diapers Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 "Yay!" The 5-year-old squealed. She ran into the master bedroom and climbed into bed, eventually wedging her way in between Emme and her father once he got in. She smile and started to doze back off. Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted October 9, 2015 Author Share Posted October 9, 2015 Emme woke up as Elizabeth moved around. She sat up and reached for Luke, whimpering. "Baba?" Link to comment
Shy-Diapers Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 "Shh!" Elizabeth said trying to fall back to sleep, but finding it difficult to do so with a whining toddler next to her. She felt that if she had to be quiet to sleep with Luke so did Emme. It was only fair. Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted October 9, 2015 Author Share Posted October 9, 2015 "Baba," Emme said again, and tried to climb over Elizabeth to get to Luke. Link to comment
Shy-Diapers Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 "Stop it!" Elizabeth whined. When Emme tried climbing over her, she gave her a push. It wasn't hard enough to hurt her, but just enough to make her get off Elizabeth. Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted October 9, 2015 Author Share Posted October 9, 2015 Emme tumbled backwards, landing on Julia. She began to cry, wanting her daddy. "Elizabeth, that wasn't nice," Luke scolded. Link to comment
Shy-Diapers Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 "She was climbing on me and being annoying!" Elizabeth protested. She covered her ears feeling frustrated and overtired. "I barely touched her!" Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted October 9, 2015 Author Share Posted October 9, 2015 "She doesn't know any better. She's scared and confused and she's used to sleeping with me," Luke explained as the toddler cried. "Shh, it's okay," he said, reaching over Elizabeth to grab Emme, who quieted down as soon as she was on Luke's lap. "Now be quiet and go to sleep, or you can go back to your own room," he said to Elizabeth as he sat rubbing Emme's back. Link to comment
Shy-Diapers Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Elizabeth frowned. She was being quiet. It wasn't her fault Emme was getting upset over nothing. She climbed out of the bed and stomped back to her own room, making as much noise on the way as possible. Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted October 9, 2015 Author Share Posted October 9, 2015 Luke sighed and let Elizabeth go. He got Emme settled next to him once again, and closed his eyes. He was just drifting off to sleep when he heard Sadie wailing in the nursery; at five weeks old, she was up about every two to three hours wanting to eat. Link to comment
Shy-Diapers Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Julia woke to the sound of a wailing baby. She groggily got up and headed to the nursery. She lifted Sadie up, sat in the rocking chair and started to rock and breastfeed the infant. Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted October 9, 2015 Author Share Posted October 9, 2015 Sadie calmed down as soon as she was in her mother's arms, and once she was fed and changed went right back to sleep. Luke dozed off as Julia tended to the baby, Emme curled up next to him. Neither stirred when Julia came back to bed. Link to comment
Shy-Diapers Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 When morning came Julia went downstairs to prepare breakfast for the girls, trying to find something that Emme might possibly eat. Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted October 10, 2015 Author Share Posted October 10, 2015 Luke opened his eyes to see the sun streaming in the window. He checked the clock - 7:45. Surprisingly, Emme was still sound asleep next to him. Careful not to disturb her he slipped out of bed and stumbled downstairs where he found his wife in the kitchen. "Morning," he mumbled, giving her a kiss before reaching for the coffee. "Did you get any sleep?" Link to comment
Shy-Diapers Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 "Yeah once Sadie was fed things went smoothly." Julia said as she put the last of the blueberry pancakes on a plate on the table. "Is Emme still asleep?" Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted October 10, 2015 Author Share Posted October 10, 2015 "Surprisingly, yes. I was sure she'd be up half the night, but I guess the lack of sleep caught up to her." Link to comment
Shy-Diapers Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 "I'm guessing I shouldn't expect this from now on, huh?" Julia chuckled a little. Link to comment
