*Ben*
"Oh Amelie, she is just beautiful". I watch as Amelie places Fleur in my sister's arms. Beth has finally been able to come out for a couple of days to visit and to meet our little girl.. taking a holiday from her own boys, leaving them with their father.

Amelie smiles so proudly... She is such a great mother and I love her more every day, seeing how she cares for our little girl.. I know it seems a bit stupid, as I should have know from seeing her with Rene.. I guess it is some kind of being a new father thing. I can literally watch them for hours. "Thank you. And she is just so easy".

"Well there is no doubt who her father is.. Not with that head of curls and the nose". Beth says and looks at me.

I can't help smiling. "Yeah she might be getting my nose.. poor little thing. I had hoped she would take after her mother. Well we just have to buy her some pretty clothes then".

"Ben !" My sister and my wife say at the same Bene, glaring at me, but Amelie can't help laughing at my expense. But luckily they are back to cooing at Fleur pretty quick, leaving me off the hook.

I sit down and my sister comes to sit next to me.. she smiles and pad my leg. "You had me worried about the divorce and all that. But I am so proud of you Ben. You have done really good here and I can see you are happy".

"Thanks sis. Oh now you have me crying". I say drying a tear away. But my sister is right. This is like a dream...a pretty wonderful one.. My life is perfect and I have everything I ever wanted.

Fleur starts crying and my sister makes a face. "Uhh someone has made something not very pretty and not very princess-like in her diaper".

Amelie is about to take her, but I get up. "Let me". I walk over to gently take my daughter from the play cot. As I hold her to my shoulder she stops crying and just looks at me with her big dark eyes. "Come on gum drop, let's go clean you up".

"Wow you either trained him really well or my brother is even better at being a father than I expected". I hear my sister say as I walk out.

I chuckle to myself when I hear Amelie answer. "Believe me.. I am amazed he hasn't tried breastfeeding her yet.. he is a wonderful father.. to both kids".

"Oh so you went and dirtied your diaper did you ?" I gently put her down on the changing station. Keeping a hand softly on her stomach as I get a clean diaper and some wet naps. I don't want to risk her turning over and falling down. I would never forgive myself if anything happened to her.

I open the diaper. Yup she definitely made something not very ladylike. Luckily she is still on a full breast milk diet and it mostly smells like slightly sour milk. I get a hold of her ankles and lift her free.. removing the diaper. Then cleaning her gently. Making sure nothing is left.

Then I put on the clean diaper and lift her up on my shoulder. "There you go, gum drop. All clean and ready to make an impression on the world".

I throw the dirty diaper into the diaper pail and walk back downstairs. "The princess has been changed and cleaned... I think she might be hungry now. You want me to give it a try ?" I ask Amelie, winking at her.

"You are too cheeky for your own good mister". She says as she comes over and takes Fleur from my arm. She sits down and gently puts our baby girl to her breast. It is amazing what a woman's body can do honestly.

*Amelie*
"There you are, baby girl". I buckle her into the car seat. Then I feel Ben's arms slide around me from behind and I turn to face him. Stretching up to kiss him softly. He is such an amazing husband and father I can't even describe how much joy he fills me with every day.

"Are you sure you don't want me to come with you ? I could take care of her while you and Beth are shopping and stuff". He asks.

I smile at him. "Stay here babe.. Drink some tea and relax. No diaper changes for a few hours. You deserve a break.. you also have a game of football you promised Rene".

I am about to go into town with Beth to look at the stores, have lunch at a cafe and spend a little girl's day out. We are bringing Fleur because it is just much easier with her still eating pretty often... But Ben clearly has a hard time letting us go.

"Okay you girls go have fun". He kisses me and then he goes to kiss our daughter on the forehead. "Hey gum drop, look after your mom and make sure she doesn't spend all daddy's money.. unless it's on you".

We drive into town and I put Fleur in her baby carriage. We go into a few stores and I buy a couple of things for Fleur. I know Ben doesn't mind that. Actually I don't think he would mind no matter what I bought, but I would never take advantage of that.. he trusts me.

We go sit at a cosy little curbside cafe. Getting a bit of lunch and chatting. It is nice to have a real girl's talk for once.. As Harmony is now heavily pregnant and doesn't have the energy to go out much.. which I totally get. And I really like Beth, she has become almost like a sister to me in the short Bene she has been here.

But after a couple of hours I am very ready to return to Ben and our happy family cocoon.
