Serenity's POV Somehow, Luka and I had survived five months of parenthood. We'd kept up on our school work and had managed to find our new normal. It even came to a point where we were happy again. It wasn't just getting through the day anymore, we were enjoying each other and loved our daughter. We had a family now, and had come out of the dark place that often shadowed new parenthood. We'd managed to get through the hard parts, and even though each stage of parenting had it's own challenges, the newborn phase was one season I was happy to be done with. Ivy was easier to interact with now. She slept more. She ate on a schedule. She smiled at us and cooed. We loved her and loved every moment we spent with her. We couldn't imagine our lives without her, and even discussed more children
