Amanda laughed, amused as her Nicco’s foot rested her chest. He broke contact from her breast for a moment to smile up at her. His four baby teeth were so adorable, and his smile was so charming. Like his daddy’s. Nicco resumed nursing, making contented little hums.
He was a lot like Eliana at that age; not willing to give up the breast. At least not in the morning or at night. With Amanda’s approaching procedure, there were a lot of things running through her mind, including whether or not she should fully wean her baby boy. She didn’t really want to admit it, but she was enjoying it. He was her last baby. The last she would have this unique bonding experience with. Nicco reached up and grabbed a tiny fistful of Amanda’s hair. When she playfully yelped, Nicco burst into laughter. “Oh, you think that's funny, huh?” She smiled widely as Nicco giggled a while longer before latching on again. Amanda caressed his dark hair. “I’ve probably told you this a million times, but your daddy and I didn’t plan you. Your other siblings? We expected them, but you, my little prince, were a biiiiig surprise.” Nicco looked up at her with inquisitive eyes. “I actually didn’t want anymore babies until I found out we were having you. But I am so happy to be your mummy. I don’t regret a thing, and I don’t want to imagine our lives without you. In a few days, mummy’s going to have a surgery to make sure you’ll be our only surprise.” She smiled at him. His eyes were growing heavy. “But you have a big brother, two big sisters, loving grandparents, cousins, and lots of aunts and uncles. I’m sorry that you’ll never be a big brother, but I hope you’ll love being the youngest. It makes you special, you know?” Nicco’s breathing grew deeper and his eyes remained closed, but he continued suckling. Amanda smiled fondly. “My greedy little milk monster,” she said, chuckling lightly. “I love you.”
