Chapter Seven

Up was down, left was right.

Daytime was for visitors that Hope slept right through, and night was when she was wide awake.

I was wearing the same gray Whitmore and Creighton t-shirt that I wore when we were both discharged a few days ago. My naughty bits were feeling anything but naughty. Sleep had become an elusive thing ruled by the most adorable little tyrant with an insatiable appetite and a killer grip.

And I was loving every minute of it.

I rolled on my side, Hope's bassinet snug in between me and Jacob. My nipples brushed against the wicker material and the tender things cried out in pain, picking up the slack since Hope was still fast asleep.

Correction: swollen, achy nipples that leak milk? Not loving that so much.

But all things in the realm of complaining evaporated when I nestled my chin against the edge of the bassinet, watching the gentle rise and fall of Hope’s itty bitty chest. Her onesie was the color of the rays that tried to sneak in from the blinds.

I smiled, remembering watching Jacob practice swaddling her. I could tell from the way that nerve had twitched below his eye that he wouldn’t rest until he got it perfect. His jaw had been locked so tight that I had to bite my lip to hold back my smile.

Once he’d figured it out, he put even me to shame. Hope didn’t make a peep as he wrapped the blanket around her tiny body. Not a single tuck had come undone and when I gazed at this perfect little baby we created, I was reminded of a cloud, kissing the sun.

I knew I was playing with fire, and the fact that she was still fast asleep was reason enough to do as little moving as possible, but I couldn’t help myself. I doubted I was anything exciting like a spy in a past life, but I inched my fingertips forward like a professional, holding my breath as I gazed at her.

I left my fingers suspended just above her chubby little cheeks, my eyes falling to her chin. It was so doll-like. Fragile. Too dainty, too patrician for a Montgomery, so I chalked it up to her dad’s side. The lips that were pursed like she was about to lay the sweetest little peck on your cheek or start hollering her head off? That was all me. Her nose was a little bit of both of us, round with the gentlest nostrils. Her eyes were still closed, dreaming a beautiful dream, despite Mommy’s meddling. I knew if she batted those thick, feather soft eyelashes of hers I’d see the shape of mine and the brilliant blue of Jacob shining up at me. And that chestnut colored hair? I could just die. She was barely two weeks old and was already well on her way to a bad ass pixie cut that-

“Can’t help it, huh?”

I snatched my hand away like I’d been caught.

Jacob, who I thought was sound asleep too, was looking back at me with a sly grin that turned my heart into mush.
