Ingrid woke to the sound of her door being flung open. "Ingrid, I can't take it anymore, that little girl that I'm rooming with has been crying for an hour now, please make her stop." Carly said in a frustrated tone.
Ingrid walked in the room listening to the faint cries of the little girl. "Emma, Emma sweetie where are you?" Ingrid asked in an upset tone.
"I'm sowy, I don't mean to cwy please don't hit me." Emma cried from the closet.
"Emma sweetie I would never hurt you, why would you even think I would hit you?" Ingrid asked as she knelt down till her and the little girl made eye contact.
"My othder fowster mom's always hit me when I cwied." Emma said as she choked for a breath.
"I promise Emma, as long as you are under my care you can cry as much as you want and you will never have to worry about me hitting you, I promise." Ingrid said as she slowly moved closer to the four year old.
Emma scooted closer to Ingrid making it easy for Ingrid to pick Emma up. "Emma would you want to sleep in my bed tonight?"
"Could I weally?" Emma asked as she snuggled her head between Ingrid's hair and her shoulder.
Ingrid gave a slight giggle, "of course you can, and then tomorrow me and you can have a girls day. Would you like that Emma?"
Emma pulled her head off of Ingrid's shoulder staring her in the eye. "Weally? I would wove that!" Emma said as her tears stopped.
Ingrid carried Emma into her room laying her on the other side of the Queen sized bed. "Goodnight sweetie." Ingrid said as she turned the light out. As Ingrid turned around in the bed making herself cozy she heard a little voice whisper, "goodnight mommy."
