Three Hours Later

Carla's P.O.V

I calmed down the crying girl as she started to cry for the fourth time today. "Mao-chan" She stopped crying and started to giggle. I felt defeated. How the hell did Lucy saying one thing to her make her stop crying?

"Thank you again, Mrs. Heartfilia-Tsukinami." She smiled at the elder man.

"I hope you have a great day, Tomoya."

"Same to you." We left.

"Tell me why do you always buy these...bubbles?"

"When I went to get the pregnancy test during lunch almost two years ago, I came here. The shop owner told me that these bubbles were new at the time but he felt like they would calm me down during my pregnancy."

"Really?" I looked at the six-pack of bubbles.

"Yeah, and each one does different things. I usually use the lemon-scented one for Mao." She looked at me. "If you want I can let you use the lavender scented ones. "

"I guess" As soon as we got home I started at Mao. "Mao" She stared at me with confusion causing Lucy to giggle.

"Mao-chan, I want to feed you."

"Bottles are in the fridge right?"

"She is about four months. I am not only bottle feeding her." I stared at her.

"After you feed her can I see her again?" Her eyes widened.

"You want to-"

"I haven't been around her as much so I want to bond with her." A blush came to her cheeks before she smiled.

"Okay"

Thirty Minutes Later

I started at the infant as she played with the activity mat. Lucy said it was easier to get her mind racing which I understood but I felt out of place.  Lucy soon came in. "Mao-chan come to me." Mao giggled before she rolled on her stomach and crawled to her. My eyes widened.

"I thought that babies do not start crawling until the age of six to ten months." She smiled before she picked her up and kissed her cheek.

"It's good to know you read the parenting books."

"Yeah but-"

"Every baby is not the same. They are their own."

"I know but how is she able to crawl now?"

"She taught herself to crawl earlier."

"Smart girl" She nodded. She handed her to me. I couldn't help but smile at Mao causing her to smile. "Soon you will be able to walk." Lucy smiled at us.
