"Yes, ma'am." It's an honor and a privilege and he wouldn't want to be doing anything else; he gets up slowly and takes Beth Junior so damn carefully into his arms. She's easy when she's asleep and it doesn't take any time at all to tuck her safely into that basket and wrap the blankets around her and set it rocking for a few minutes. Once he's done he just stands there and watches her for a minute, two minutes: she's priceless.

And then there's nothing better to do than get right back down on the floor with Beth, half on the baby blanket and half off, and find his way into her arms. Now they can do things they wouldn't dream of doing with little Beth awake.
Now it's his turn for a softer voice, more personal and intimate actions: no wasting that precious commodity called time. Lying on his side, he directs his hand to Beth's hip and her hand to his tie before dipping in for a kiss.
He's so in love with that little smile on her face.
