Ten minutes before we were due to leave to go over to Sean’s house for food, I was completely organized. We were only a few steps from the house next door, but I’d packed for the apocalypse. I had a pacifier, a backup pacifier, and a further pacifier in the changing bag. Not that Mia even seemed to like pacifiers much. I had burp cloths, two changes of clothing, a changing mat, diapers, wipes, formula, a hat for shade, one for warmth, blankets… you name it, and I had it, all packed up on the stroller, which nearly toppled over. My thinking was that Mia could sleep in the stroller when she was tired. I’d reached the front door before I realized I was missing the most important thing.
Mia.
I stood for a moment in my hallway, with my eyes closed. What kind of dad packs all the peripherals and forgets the baby asleep in her crib? My chest tightened, and I breathed my way down from twenty, just as Sean had shown me when he’d gotten so damn close I could smell the citrus of his shower gel. Or shampoo. Or whatever.
All I knew was that he’d smelled good, and for the first time in what seemed like forever, I’d been hard. I could have swayed even closer, mesmerized by the clear blue of his eyes. I had a serious thing for men who exuded the kind of confidence that Sean projected. The way he’d held Mia, the way he walked and talked, his sense of humor, his close friendship with his two housemates, all came together in one appealing sexy package.
Don’t think about the word package.
Would he kiss me again? Deeper, harder? I was hoping so while at the same time wondering what the hell I was doing even thinking about it.
I ran up the stairs, slowing as I entered my bedroom and the scent of Mia hit me hard. Only this wasn’t talc and love. This was a diaper filled with contents from hell itself. I couldn’t help it. I gagged and reached for one of the clean sleepers to put across my nose so I could get closer.
“You need to deal with this first,” I said out loud.
It was everywhere, her back, her legs, soaking through her sleeper, and there was nothing for it. I took off the clean T-shirt, my best one, and my jeans, and then, in my underwear, I lifted her from her crib where she lay eyes screwed up, a wail moments away. Then the two of us went into the bathroom, and to the changing table I’d pushed into one corner. I stripped her and made a quick decision that the sleepers was going into the garbage with the diaper and almost the entire pack of wipes. At least she didn’t begin to cry, and by the end of it, she was staring up at me with her beautiful wide eyes, like I hung the moon and stars.
Still in my underwear, I
