CITF Ch. 167 Update on FFn
Bella was pleasant enough the rest of the night, but
distant. She talked to me, listened with interest when I told her about my
classes and how I rocked my Health Care Disparities exam. However, when I went
to touch her, she brushed me off. I was confused. We were both cleared to be
able to touch each other, more than just fleeting kisses and innocent caresses.
I missed being affectionate with my fiancée. Did I do something wrong?
I asked if she was okay, but she smiled, nodding that she
was fine. My Bella was not fine. I
gave Marie a bath, laughing and playing with my adorable little angel. I
faintly heard Bella on the phone. She was in tears, but I couldn’t hear her
conversation, nor could I tell who she was talking to. I finished washing Marie
and dressed her in a butterfly onesie. Carefully, I carried her to the nursery.
Settling into the rocking chair, I slowly moved and studied. I read my human
anatomy text book to my daughter in a sing-song voice. It worked for me,
helping me remember the intricate systems of the human body and I was able to
bond with my precious gift.
I finished my studying, placing Marie into her crib. She
whimpered a little bit, but fell back asleep. I carried my book, baby monitor
and walked to my bedroom. Bella was curled up in a ball, her face red and
puffy. She’s sleeping restlessly, but in obvious distress. I changed into some
pajamas, crawling into bed and curling around her. She tensed up when I first
touched her but she let out a shuddering sigh, eventually snuggling in my arms.
