As soon as Chris and I got home from the hospital, I grabbed him and he chuckled with surprise as I pulled him in for a deep kiss.
When I looked into Pyra's crib, this is what I saw. An innocent, sweet baby all wrapped up in a fluffy pink blanket. But why had Christopher sensed something else inside my Pyra?
To comfort myself and the infant, I picked her up and snuggled her cute little face. "Honey, you better get some rest. Or at least eat something!" Chris told me his concern for my health.
I ate some leftover waffles that Chris had made. His cooking is getting better and better! Of course, I didn't have money for a table yet, so I had to eat on the toilet.
Christopher took good care of Pyra while I was tending to my needs. He really did love her, although every once and a while I would see a flicker of distrust in his eyes.
"Oh you are so cute! Pyra. My little pink bundle of joy!" I would hear him say while playing with her.
"Here River, she wants you." He said, handing her over. She actually wanted food, but I wanted to be the first one to feed her.
We took a break from the baby by means of fishing in our large pond. Christopher is a naturally born fisherman, but I'm clumsy so I fell over while casting the line. Chris could hardly repress a giggle.
It was nice and quiet out by the pond.
"Riv, you look exhausted! I think we should go to bed. Pyra's asleep." Chris was looking out for me, as always.
"Oh yes. Lets." I said with a sigh.
Christopher dreamed of our newly furnished house, I'm sure he was thinking about when we'd have enough space to move the crib inside. I dreamed about how good Christopher's cooking was, it was fortunate that we had a good cook in the family.
Speaking of cooking... Chris made some nice pancakes for himself and I.
And I continued working on my inventing skill. I didn't have enough money to buy a sculpting table, but soon with our money from fish, Chris's job and my inventions, we would be able to have a safe and comfortable home for our whole family.
The days flew by. Pyra "turned" into an adorable little toddler. What will she accomplish now that she has the capacity to learn and play? Will she be joined by more children, or will she be a pampered only child, and the first heiress of the Rhymes legacy?
