Kate was awoken by her alarm.. for the first time in months, usually she woken by the hungered cries of her daughter at least an hour before Kate was set to get up but today was different.. it was weird

Kate turned her alarm off, she stared at her phone whilst her eyes adjusted to the scream. She stretched and left her warm bed.

Kate went about her normal routine which only took 10 minutes by now; it only consisted of getting dressed and combing her hair. It wasn't much to do

Kate tightened her pony tail, pulling a few red strands around her face. She grabbed her phone and walked out of her room

"You gotta a giggle for dad. Come on I know you got a giggle in there somewhere" Buck played with Josie

Kate smiled, finding his behavior adorable. He had read every book possible for when a baby arrived and still he looks up milestones.

She wrapped her hands around his shoulders, "thanks for letting me sleep"

"I woke up earlier, thought you could use the extra sleep. You seem tired lately"

"Just wedding stuff" she shrugged.

"Theres Coffees In the pot"

Kate sighed happily, "you are a man after my own heart Buck" she walked over to the pot and poured a mug of hot coffee, adding a drop of milk

Buck put Josie in her rocker chair, he gave her stomachs a few pokes "come on, I know you've got a laugh in there"

Kate grabbed a bear from the counter, she booped it against Josie's nose and made a funny noise, Josie blinked unresponsive

"Oh come on" Kate huffed "I was sure that would work"

"I think we have a depressed baby" Buck joked

"Not at all" Kate gasped, "she's just more protective of her emotions"

Milo strolled over to the small family, he sat beside the rocker and stared at them only blinking once

"They've got the same mood" Buck said

"Wow" Kate laughed "she's copying a cat's emotions. Of course she is"

Kate sipped on her coffee, she swallowed harshly and coughed out as she choked

"Oh woah, you okay?" He asked, patting her back

Kate coughed some more before she took in a breath "just went down the wrong way" she exhaled

A small giggle came from their daughter, the sound filling up their hearts

Kate smiled "are you laughing at mama" she picked Up the 4 month old and held her above her head, giving her a small shake "are you laughing at Momma"

Josie continued to giggle, finding her mothers babbles hilarious

"She laughs at pain, definitely your daughter" Buck remarked

Kates mouth gaped open, she hit bucks arm "excuse me, I don't laugh at others pain"

"I slipped on water last week and you laughed for 20 minutes"

Kaye blinked, she paused with nothing to say

"Exactly"

"Whatever" Kate rolled her eyes, refusing to admit she was wrong

"Oh now I know I'm right" Buck laughed,

"For now Evan buckley, for now" Kate protested, she felt the warm sensation of baby vomit against her fresh clothes, she sighed and handed Josie to Buck  "it's my fault really, I shouldn't have shook her so much"
