Keeping Maddie [Lacy/Phil/Maddie]

"You know," She mused. "Taking care of her reminds me how much that miscarriage sucked. Makes me think 'what if' sometimes."

"Yeah, I think you would have been a great mom." he nodded. "You're great with her."

She smiles a bit now over thinking it. She shook her head to snap out of it before continuing to feed Maddie.

Maddie continued to eat while babbling, causing her to miss some of the food going into her mouth.

Phil went to the kitchen and brought Lacy a wet cloth.

"Looks like you might need it."

She laughed and shook her head, just cleaning up Maddie's mouth with the edges of the spoon.

"Or not." he chuckled.

"You want to feed her?" She looked up at him.

"After she attacked me? She might spit it on my face." he chuckled.

"Try." She chuckles before looking at Maddie, "You like Phil, right?"

Maddie just looked at Phil and tapped Lacy's leg, wanting to be fed more.

Phil chuckled.

"I'll give it a try then."

Lacy laughed and moved aside as she handed Phil the bowl.

Phil took the bowl and started to feed Maddie.

"yummmmm..." she said again.

"This food looks like crap, I don't know how she can eat this."

She laughs. "Because she doesn't have enough food to chew stuff good yet. So they just.. puree it so she can eat it."

"Still, some of it is gross." he shrugged as he continued to feed her.

"Maddie doesn't think it's gross."

"She doesn't know what's good for her. You watch, I'll have her liking everything else that I like." he chuckled as Maddie giggled.

"And all that will show up in her diaper and you'll be the one changing it."

"Oh, I don't think so." he chuckled. "Nice try."

"if it's your fault then you have to do it." She laughs.

"Alright, I won't give her the wrong foods." he said as he finished feeding her.

Lacy handed him the wet cloth he brought in earlier as she took the plate to rinse it out in the kitchen.

Phil wiped Maddie's mouth and cleaned her up, then Maddie smiled and went down the couch again, crawling away to a corner and sitting there.

"Um, what's she doing?"

Lacy walked out of the kitchen looking at Madison. She laughs, "Being weird. What are you doing, kid?"

"She's definitely like her mom then, weird." he said as he looked at Madison who just smiled and giggled.

Lacy shook her head and scooped Maddie up. "Naptime, yeah?"
