They all sat there and watched in amazement as the child sat there, drinking her sludgy beverage. It had been a slow day in the office so they had nothing better to do, and Washington just had to show the others about his discovery. She finished slurping her beverage and looked down the cup sitting on her lap in disappointment as her fruity drink was finished.
"Daddy?" She said with a saddened look on her face.
"Here Emma, this is Banana flavored."
Washington pulled out another and handed his daughter another smoothie. She took it and started slurping it up. Her face illuminated with the banana flavor and she gave a squealed. She slurped up the beverage as fast she could without stopping. No sense of pain or worry on her face. Just pure enjoyment.
"Thats crazy." Tucker said.
"Dude thats not human." Grif added.
Emma didn't bother listening to her uncle, she didn't care she just kept on slurping. Her fifth smoothie and she never once stopped.
"How does she do it?" Simmons asked. Thats what they all wanted to know, how she could drink them without suffering from brain freeze. "How does she not get brain freeze?"
Dr. Grey Was silent for a moment before finally saying, "I've studied everything there is about the human body." She continued watching the little girl. "And even I'm like what the f**k."
"What the hell is going on!" Everyone fell silent. Carolina walked in and saw the madness. She swiped away the smoothie out of her daughters hands.
"No, my banana!" Emma exclaimed. "Mommy!"
"Wash, what are you doing!"
"Carolina. I was just showing the guys what Emma could. She's had five of these and she still hasn't gotten a brain freeze, how crazy is that."
"Five!" Carolina shouted furious. She picked up her daughter off the table and put her back on the floor. "Wash, you can't be feeding these to her she's only four years old. And especially not five of these at once!"
"I'm sorry Carolina its just weird that..."
A sudden grumbling sound, silenced their argument. They turned to see Emma with her hands to her belly and a disappointed look on her face. She looked like she was going to throw up. The rest of the guys cleared out before they could smell like child-vomit.
"Mommy." Emma called. "Daddy. I feel funny."
Carolinas gaze fell on Washington, once again. He didn't need to turn back to feel those green eyes stabbing him. He just settle for his daughters adorable, current state of one-green, one-blue eyes. "Wash, your gonna fix this."
"Me!"
"Mommy?" Emma called again.
"Don't worry baby," Carolina kneeled to meet her daughters eyes. "Your daddy will make you feel better." She stood back up and walked away. Leaving Washington alone.
"Carolina come on." Washington called out. She didn't bother responding. Washington could feel the tiny hand tugging at his pant leg. He looked back down to see the miserable look on his daughters face.
"Daddy, my tummy hurts."
"Don't worry, sweetness you'll be okay." He took her tiny hand and they walked to the nearest bathroom looking for a medicine cabinet. Hopefully there'd be something for this current situation or it would be a long day. Another grumbling sounded again.
"I don't think I like banana anymore daddy."
Authors Notes:
Sorry about the delay for my current story but I've had this idea on my head for a while and just had to put it out. This will probably be a mini-series of stories that just come to me, about Washington, Carolina, their beloved daughter Emma. Let me know what you think and maybe share your thoughts and maybe ideas for another chapter because I have a bad imagination. Myself, I like to write about tragedy and death, and well, you've seen my other stories, but whatever. Its what ever you like.
Let me know what you think and if you have any ideas for more chapters for this mini-series.
The next chapter for Future Problems Today: Redux will come out soon.
