Watching Lillia Sleep



Watching Lillia Sleep

Lillia is perfect, swaddled in her swing. She's been perfect for four hours now. I know that I should wake her from her peaceful slumber. I know she is hungry because of the heaviness to my chest. My huge stone like breasts have begun to leak and ache.
Nap time is one of my favorite times of day. Not because I get a break, but because I so enjoy seeing her sleep. I watch as a smile creeps across her face. My breath catches in my throat, just as it does every time Lillia beams that beautiful smile of hers.
Normally I would wake her now. Normally I would have woken her an hour ago, But not today. Today her peaceful slumber will go on, unbothered. I don't want to wake her. I prefer to watch her sleep happily than to awaken her to her pain. Lillia had her shots yesterday, I suppose that earns her a little bit of sleep. I get to watch her a little longer
