Chapter Seven

Gift number two would be at his house when Eden got off work. Jacob was right on time to pick up his daughter and while he could see her worry, Eden kissed the baby goodbye.

“She’s teething hard today, so she’s cranky. I’m a little grumpy because between her and homework last night, I got about two hours sleep,” Eden told him.

Jacob could hear the tiredness in her voice. “Can’t you stay home?” he asked in concern.

“I would, but you don’t get time off for a teething baby. Her little apple soothing stuff for her gums is in the bag and baby Tylenol if she runs a fever, it’s been part of her symptoms. Cold teething rings work but my dad’s trick of frozen waffles works best.”

“I’ll follow the wise directions of your father,” Jacob said. “Don’t worry, she’ll be okay, and you can face time us on your lunch break.”

“Sounds good,” Eden said and kissed the baby in the car seat. “Bye sweetie, don’t give your daddy too much trouble.”

The baby fussed a little on the drive to his house but after they got there and he got her out of the car seat, she was quiet in his arms.

“Want to see the house?” Jacob asked while Sera’s tiny face looked up at him.

He got a toothless grin in reply.

“Okay then house tour it is.” He took her inside. “This is the living room, as you can see there is a play mat and baby octagon set up for your exercise and tummy time pleasure,” Jacob said conversationally. “I don’t see why it’s called an octagon, makes it sound like you’re getting ready for a mixed martial arts fight. Don’t ever watch that... it’s a bloody sport.”

Sera cooed in response.

Next, he took her to the kitchen. “This is our kitchen, notice your highchair with elephant print, I believe it will be you and I in here mostly because your mother’s cooking is not the greatest.” The baby squealed and Jacob held up one hand. “Hey, I’m not trashing your mom, just saying we both know she cannot cook.” He chuckled. “We have the pool area outside for when you get in the water with swimmers on and one of the floating island things. Also, gated around because I’m not losing you to drowning, sweat pea. Okay, let’s go look at your room upstairs.”

He walked into the large nursery with unicorns and balloons stenciled around the top and the light-yellow color that reminded him of sunlight. Her crib stood off to one side with the matching baby changing table. The rocker glider featured yellow cushions to match the color of the room. Her clothes were in the neat closet he had designed, and on the bottom shelves were tons of diaper and supplies.

“Think you could be happy here?” Jacob asked the baby. “Your crib, well it can be converted straight down to a toddler bed that will be great until you’re about five or so. We can talk about room design when you’re older.
