My Darling Wife by EpicFaerieTale

Richard nodded, sighing. He was glad to have such a nice family. He couldn't wait to see Autumn grow, really. "Sooner or later, she'll be spouting words." he grinned, trying to tease Antionette.

Richard raised a brow. "Curious? Aren't all babies?" he asked, laughing. He was just as a hellraiser as any other little boy. Then again, he always was running all over inside and outside his home. Even broke a vase just to get attention. "What were you like? I mean, besides what your parents joked about." he grinned.

Richard laughed and sighed. He knew this was coming. "Uh, well, I was pretty bad. I would run everywhere and..well, take things out of the dressers. For some reason I would keep taking things out of my dad's closet. I also...well, I'll keep that to myself." he grinned, winking.

Richard laughed. "Maybe, did I steal your heart yet?" he asked, chuckling and kissing her again until Autumn started whining. "Oops, looks like she's an attention grabber." he grinned, kissing his daughter's head and shaking his head.

"Eh, that would make more sense." Richard nodded, grinning. "Let's try food again, eh?" he said, rubbing Autumn's head though it seemed that with her pout, it meant she didn't want to. He picked up his daughter, kissing her head and heading down the hall to tell the cook to make something small but appetizing for their child.

Autumn especially had Richard around her finger as well. Heck, any father with a daughter would say the same. He soon came back and then scrunched up his nose. The poor lil babe needed a change. Great. "Uh...well, she needs to be changed apparently..." he mumbled.

"Um....please?" Richard asked, chuckling nervously. Usually he would do it but..eh, this wasn't a good time. "Unless you want me to?" he said, trying to be considerate at least. She was always so tired except at night once she fell asleep. All their schedule pertained to was to Autumn's needs.

Richard understood that. In order for the family to bond, they had to do things together. He watched as Antionette brought Autumn to the table and began whimpering. She hated being changed. Walking to her, he leaned over and tried to make funny faces, to at least have her happy whilst being changed.

Autumn did seem modest, and definitely not hard at all to please. Richard picked up Autumn and smiled. "Well, you're certainly patient with us. Hopefully it'll last." he said, hugging her and looking at Antionette. "Want to go for a quick walk outside while we wait for lunch?" he asked.

Well, Richard at most times would want time to go by fast. He enjoyed being a father of a baby, but he wanted to see what she would turn out as. Especially it being a tad bit more easy and less nerve racking, or more since she's a girl. "We're leaving the baby in her crib?" he asked, blinking. Autumn would cry her lungs out.

"Eh, well, it wouldn't be fair to go out with just one of my girls." Richard said, smiling and taking Autumn in his arms. Antionette deserved a good break from carrying their child whom wasn't getting any lighter. He then stepped outside with his family, sighing. The fields were plentiful for the harvest this year, which made him relieved. That meant more income plus food.

"Hm, I think Autumn will have a ball just running through all this." Richard said, smiling as their baby looked around with huge eyes. Obviously he could picture her going nuts as she discovered the animals, the harvests, everything. He was glad to have at least provided for his family well.

Richard wouldn't care if he wouldn't receive the family fortune. The two had to die sometime and being the only heir, it would reluctantly to them, go to him. He had a family, and so he could use it as well. "You never regret marrying me, Antionette?" he asked, looking at her.
