Chapter 240 : The Message Has Been Sent
*Michael*
"Say it, Amelia. Say, ‘Daddy, wake up,’" Shelby sang as he held our daughter in front of my face. I put my hands over my face and then peeked from around my fingers. Amelia loved peek-a-boo.
I pulled my hands away and said, "BOO!" Amelia giggled and flailed her hands around in excitement.
"Daddy, you have to get up and entertain these babies so Momma can get breakfast and ba-bas ready," Shelby told me playfully.
Amelia grabbed for my hand and tugged that hand toward her, looking up at me with her wide blue eyes. "Ba-ba-ba-ba," she gurgled.
Shelby and I shared a shocked look upon hearing our sweet baby's first word.
"Did you hear that?!" Shelby asked excitedly. "One of our babies can talk!"
"I sure did. She's amazing," I told her as I leaned down and kissed Amelia's cheeks.
Right on cue, we heard Thomas begin chattering to himself from his mini crib across the room.
