Daniel stood back with Molly and watched as Doctor Lee helped Sam feed CJ for the first time. It was truly a beautiful sight, seeing his daughter feed from her mother. Looking at Doctor Lee, Daniel nodded. "Thank you," he said before the doctor slipped out of the room to give the family some privacy.
Sitting next to his wife, Daniel ran his hand over CJ's head and watched as she ate. The little girl seemed to have a very healthy appetite, and he knew Sam would be grateful to have Molly and him help feed her. Especially late at night. Daniel knew Sam would need her rest and he didn't mind getting up in the middle of the night to take care of CJ.
Once CJ was finished, and properly burped, Daniel took her from Sam's arms. With Molly's help, they put a clean diaper on the infant and Daniel put her in the small bassinet John and Fred had given them at Sam's baby shower. Once CJ was tucked in, Daniel moved over to the bed and sat down on the edge of it.
"Is there anything you need? Food? Water?" he asked as he ran his fingers through Sam's hair. He leaned down and softly kissed her. You are the most amazing woman I know. I love you so much.
"Should I go back to our quarters and get some clothes?" Molly asked.
Daniel pulled back and shook his head. "We packed clothes for all of us. I spoke to Carson a few days ago, and he said we could have another bed in here for you," he said as he smiled at Molly.
"Good! I didn't want to be away from any of you," she said as she sat next to her dad and leaned against him.
