Forever in the Past and Forever in the Future

Lenora’s POV

My precious baby, Codi, is almost a month old and Milo and I are so in love with her. I can’t even remember what life was like before. I have never been a picture-taking person, but I’m pretty sure my phone storage is almost full of her and her with Milo. He has been snapping pics of his own too.

“MILO! I have my boob out. Could you please not take a picture right now?” I laugh.

“Sorry, Sugar. That one is just for me though, it’s beautiful.” He leans down and kisses my forehead.

There’s a knock on the door, I put a cloth over my shoulder to cover myself up while he answers it. '

Bronx and Kas walk in holding hands with big smiles.

“Hi Lenora! Where is Codi?” Kas asks, with an excited smile.

“Under the blanket, she’s almost done eating. We'll let Uncle Bronx burp her when she’s done.”

Bronx freezes and his eye goes wide.

Kas and I laugh at his reaction as I feel Codi unlatch. I pull her out from under the cloth and adjust my shirt.

“Don't worry Bronx, Milo will show you how to do it,” I chuckle, “Besides, you need practice for one day when it’s your turn.”

He and Kas exchange a look I can’t read. For a split second I think maybe they came to tell us Kas is pregnant, but her scent has not changed. So it can’t be that.

“Alright, Leni, what do I do?” he asks, holding out his arms to hold his niece.
