"Daddy," I started, looking up at his panicked face. "Where did Isabel jump to?" He looked down at me, blinking in confusion.

"Oh, darling. It's an expression. Come along now, get your coat and we'll jump in the car. Monica, please call 911 immediately." He nodded curtly and picked me up with a swing. "Where's your coat?" I pointed over to the coat rack and he walked over to the coat rack very quickly and shoved it on me. He then put his own coat on.

"Daddy, daddy." I yelled when he headed to the door.

"Oh, of course," He'd forgotten me! "I'm sorry, darling. I'm just very very busy." He said picking me up. "Lord. How long does it take for an ambulance to come?"

"It's only been a few minutes, daddy." I pointed out. He nodded at me, smiling meekly.

"Monica," He called out to her as she was now outside with Isabel. "How is she?"

"It doesn't look good, Jacob," She called in. "There's a lot of B-L-O-O-D." B…L…O…O…D?

"Oh dear, well I can't come out and help. I have to look after this little one." He ruffled my hair and I shook my head but cling to him anyway.

"I know, Jacob, but- oh here comes the ambulance. Would you like to come in the other car?"

"Yes, I'll bring Jade."

Soon we were at the hospital and daddy put me in a room with lots of other kids. A small girl walked up to me her eyes watering.

"Hi, I'm Cat." She was trying to hold in tears but it was very hard for her, obviously.

"Jade. What's up?" I asked straight out. I'm very blunt, daddy says.

"My mommy," The girl with brown hair and brown eyes started. "She's gone to heaven but I want her here. With me and dada."

"Oh. I don't know what it's like to have a mommy. But I do have two nannies. Monica and Isabel."

"Oh. I have to grandmas too." Grandma?

"No, I was talking about a nanny as in somebody who looks after you when your daddy's at work."

"That's a mommy."

"Really?" Cat nodded her head.

"But I don't know who will look after me now. Mommy isn't coming back!"

"I never had a mommy," I said, sighing. "But I do love my daddy."

"I love mine, too. But momma took me shopping and did my nail and hair. She did it this morning, look!" She shoved her hands in my face and swished her high ponytail. My hair was barely brushed and my nails were short and unpainted.

"I wish I had a mommy."

"Don't be silly, Jade! Everyone has a mommy. Suzie, Gigi, Ari, Fiona, me…" She took a deep breath. "Even though they may not be here anymore."

"I don't think my mommy's in the clouds…Will you help me find her?" I've never had a real friend. Maybe Cat will be my friend.

"BFFs, trying to find one mommy. Sure, Jade. We'll find her."
