Parenting was hard and he had no idea what he was thinking having a baby with Decipher of all people however she had pleasantly surprised him because had not laid all of the responsibility on him only seventy five percent which was fine. He had came into fatherhood okay even though he was still doing a lot of adjusting at the moment trying to fix the clips on the carseat carrier so that the baby did not fall out. "This should not be this hard," he said as he finally got it fixed. He pulled out his phone and dialed up David, hoping he would pick up because right now he just needed to guy it out, which meant talking about how wonderful it was but how complicated it tended to be too.

David could drive but hadn’t a car. Instead he used an Uber or walked as most locations were that close in the city. He was on paternity leave giving Peyton a hand with Ella as much as he could. Peyton still felt tired and he couldn’t blame her on that count. So he heard his phone going while he was listening to an audio book. The voice soothed his daughter too as they both relaxed on the sofa. She would be tall and he could see that already as she rested on a V pillow looking her. The audio book was ‘good omens’. One of his favourites and it seemed she liked it too. “Hello Graysen. How are you” he cheerfully replied. It just wasn’t David and Sparky anymore. Ella and his dog were getting on wonderfully as well. Graysen Maddox

"Surprisingly enough I am actually making it, I was just wondering how are doing?" It was important that men checked on one another too though people did not speak about each other that much. It made sense. "The pretty days do here help, how is Peyton?" Women got stretched out during birth apparently, how nasty. David Lightfeather

“Peyton is doing well but resting. I’ve have little Ella chilling beside me and listening to an audio book. I think she likes hearing the voices “ David replied. Then added “we’re getting less sleep but I worry a bit too. She’s so quiet and only cries when she needs changed or fed. So how is your baby and Decipher getting on?” David had a feeling he wouldn’t need to play Peppa Pig on repeat with Ella. She seemed to prefer to listen than to watch. Graysen Maddox

"Well," he shook his head. "Decipher would rather be at the beach which is needless to say not the best thing but I am hoping that she does eventually come around." He was simply taking it one day at a time. "My family is so big I do not think that Diana, that's what we named her has noticed much but still. "So all in all going just about how I expected it."

A big family like Graysen had was bound to be a benefit. All those uncles and auntie to help out. Diana would never be short of a babysitter. “Perhaps she just needs a bit of time to herself but I’m sure things will work out. Diana will also realise who your brothers and sister are soon enough. But I did have an idea. How about a daddy and baby day?” he posed. Graysen Maddox

"That is true," he said. He was not that worried about it but he did want to know that it was possible. "I think we could do that but I am almost one hundred percent certain bars are off the table so what are reduced to, like a juice bar?" Please no. "Seriously where would be go, do we even have a juice bar here?" He was curious now. David Lightfeather

What they would normally have done on guy time was shoot pool or play darts and drink some beer. That clearly wasn’t an option now as David listened to what Graysen had to say via speaker phone and look over to his nearly sleeping daughter. She really looked so comfortable right now. Graysen also clearly agreed that a bar wasn’t an option. So what did that leave? “I don’t know of a specific juice bar but we could go down to a beach and get non alcoholic cocktails. Then Peyton and Decipher can’t yell at us” he suggested. It would also get both daddy and daughter out for a while. Even if they didn’t get into the water properly it would still be babies first beach trip. Probably Ella’s first of many as she grew up in a free land. Graysen Maddox

Graysen had not really been a beacher but that did sound good. "I like that idea," he said. "I don't know what I will order but it's bound to taste good," he had seen a lot of new ships with supplies coming in that included fruits and such so he had high hopes to say the least. "I think that our daughters would enjoy that too." David Lightfeather

"It sounds like they would enjoy it" David replied. So with the final details and timings worked out he got Ella ready for the beach in a cute baby two piece swimsuit in dark pink. She also had baby shades and a light pink sunhat. He suspected she'd burn as he did so he also packed the high factor sunscreen. He also went for a summery look and when they arrived he looked for Graysen. Ella was in her baby carrier and he also had the nappy bag with her spare bottle of milk, bottle of juice, a towel and baby dress for afterwards. Graysen Maddox

Graysen had taken the last few minutes to check over everything because it seemed to be a trait that he was developing now that he was a father. He waved and made his way over when he seen David. "I think i have everything," he said as he took a minute to adjust the carrier that his daughter was in. "If I lose this baby I am a dead man and no one wants that." David Lightfeather

A baby did come with baggage. Just looking at both nappy bags proved this but it would get easier once they were out of diapers. Then all you'd need was the cup of juice and food. "Yeah she would feed you to the reef sharks if that happened" David agreed now they were together. So two baby carrier were left beside each other as the baby girls got a first look at each other. "I honestly think you'd more loaded than I am" he added chuckling a little. Guy time could now start as he applied the sunscreen to his daughter. It sounded like she didn't like this judging by the noises she was making but it was important. A sunburned adult was bad enough but a burnt baby could only cry to make its feelings understood.

"It's hard to know just how to cover the bases. I am sure I have entered the over doing it stage but my hope is that hopefully sooner rather than later it will all settle down and will not be so new to me." He loved it though. "You seem so enamored trust me when i say that I do understand." David Lightfeather

“Graysen anybody can overdo it. Better to have too much than miss something important I suppose” he replied as Ella now given her lotioning started crying. She wanted daddy after all that. “There there sweetie. You’ve got a friend to meet today” he added cradling her in his arms. “She’s just so lovely. Diana looks the same. They enchanted us as soon as they were born and will never let go”. Ella’s wolf like ears were clear to see and her little feet even looked partially like paws. She looked like a daddies girl already. Graysen Maddox

"This has really put a damper on boys night though," he said. Boys night had seemed to turn into father hood night or maybe just father's night which they both seemed okay at. "It is not correct to take the babies to the dart hall right?" He had given it a litte thought. David Lightfeather
