5 Realization

Athena sat on my lap and quietly drank her milk while I did some work on my laptop.

After some time I felt my shirt being tugged and looked down at the baby who was doing it.

"You done?" I looked at the empty bottle in her hand, "Give it to me." I took the bottle from her and placed it on the desk and began to work again.

"Nnnn!"

"What?" My eyes were still on the screen.

"Dada," I looked down at her,

"You want to go to your daddy?"

She didn't say anything, instead slumped back against my stomach.

What a tiny little thing.

I smiled.

My phone buzzed and I picked it up to see a text message. It wasn't anything important, just some information from Lorelai. The festival was coming soon aftereall.

I closed the text tab and the gallery opened behind it.

Oh…

I forgot to close the tab yesterday when I was looking at 'her' pictures.

I pressed the button but before I could close it Athena tapped her hand on the screen.

"Mama!"

It shocked me.
