"Daddy's on an adventure sweetie!" She nodded. I was going to dread the day I would tell her the truth. But Scarlet drove to the mall and we bought a little outfit for Sophia. She was walking and yawning, so I lifted her up and held her, as she laid her little head, on my big shoulder. And she softly yawned and went to sleep.

"Well I'm starved so we can go to Friendly's!"

"Great!" She laughed.

"It's tough being a mother. Getting pregnant in 7th grade, and what would've been a normal teenage life for me, is gone. But you wanna know something?"

"What?"

"I don't regret one bit. Sophia is my little angel!" I kissed her head as she snored softly.

"She sure is a cutie Christy!"

"I know!"

"She looks just like you!"

"Thank you, and your family, for taking me and my little girl under your roof."

"Aww it's no problem!"

I yawned. "I'm tired myself!" She laughed again.

We went into Friendly's and ordered. Then we had it all put in a bag and left the store and mall. We went back to the car, and climbed in. "You know she considers you her aunt?"

"Aww! She's such a little cutie pie!" I nodded as she started driving home.

When we arrived back at the house a few minutes later, we went inside and I carried Sophia up to her bed. I kissed her little forehead and left the room as I went to mine, and did my homework yawning. "I'm gonna get some sleep." I finished my homework and laid down. Then I started to go to sleep, until Sophia woke up crying. I sat up and sighed as I went to the next room. "Baby what's wrong?"

"Nightmare."

"Want to tell mommy about it?"

"I don't remember."

"Why don't you go back to sleep baby." She shook her head and started to climb out of bed. "Are you hungry?" She nodded. "Well Aunt Scarlett bought you some chicken fingers!"

She clapped happily and left the room. Then she griped onto the rail, and walked down the stairs. That's when she ran over to Scarlett, who was on her knees, and hugged her. "Thank you Aunt Scarlett!"

"Come on! I'll take you to your food!" She stood up and kept her arm down and hand out. But Sophia latched herself around Scarlett's leg. "Oh no!" She giggled as she grabbed her food and sat down on the couch. "You going to continue to hug my leg kid?" She giggled and lifted her arms, as Scarlett helped her onto her lap, and held her.

I got out her food, and opened the container, taking out a strip. Then I handed it to her and she nibbled on it. "Would you like something to drink honey?"

"Yeah!" I laughed a bit and kissed her forehead as I got up. "What would you like?"

"Some apple juice!"

"Oh sweetie, I don't know if we have that, do you Molly?"

"I do! I just picked some up earlier!"

"Great!" I stretched, and then went to the kitchen. I got down a small plastic cup and poured her some apple juice. Then I took it into her and she put her chicken down and took the cup from my hand, and started drinking some down. But she got it on herself and I giggled. "Honey, you got it on yourself!" I grabbed some napkins and wiped her shirt.

"Hey you guys, I have a baseball game tomorrow; coming?"

"What time?" I yawned.

"Umm 6-8:30pm."

"I'll be there!"

"Great! Well I'm gone up to shower when Sophia's done bathing, and then bed."

"Ok!" She went up and so did Molly and Michael. "Ok you, come on! Time for a bath!" I put her food away and she started to cry, reaching her hands toward it. "No, kitchen's closed now sweetie, and you need your sleep!" I put her food and drink in the kitchen, and lifted her up, balancing her on my hip. Then I walked upstairs after shutting off the lights, and took her to the bathroom.

I got warm water ready, as I helped her undress, and get into the tub of water. "Think you can wash yourself?" She nodded, and did just that. And she didn't take long. I helped her rinse out her hair and dried her off. Then I wrapped the towel around her, as she walked back into the room. I got out a set of pajama's and helped her get dressed. Then I brushed out her hair, and lifted her onto the bed. "Guess who's birthday's in two days!" She giggled as I tickled her.

"Mine?"

"Yes yours!"

"Can you read me a bed time story?"

"Of course sweetie!" I got out a Disney princess story, and told it to her. And her little eyelids, were closed, before I could finish. So I softly kiss her forehead, and quietly go next door to my room. I then crawled into bed, and went to sleep myself. Morning came around fast, as I woke up to someone gently shaking me, and saying mom.
