I rushed out of the lunchroom and to the office.
"Can I help you?"
"I have to leave school early."
"Why?"
"My daughter got hurt, and the nurse from her school just called me!"
"Oh, you have a daughter?"
"It's not something I rather explain. But yes, and she's only in kindergarten."
"Ok, you may go. I'll contact your teachers."
"Thank you." I rushed out of the office and through the lunchroom over to Scarlett who was now sitting at the Cullen's table. "Hey, I'm leaving now. The lady in the office is going to contact my teachers."
"Ok."
"Remember what to keep secret."
"I know."
"Ok, and call me if you need anything!" I hugged her.
"Let me know how it goes!"
I nodded and rushed out, getting into my car, and driving over to the preschool.
I quickly arrived, and jumped out of my car, turned it off, and ran in. I went into the office and she was there.
"Hey baby are you alright?"
She cried. "My wrist hurts mommy!"
"I know baby, that's why I'm going to take you to the hospital, to get it checked out." I went to the front desk.
"Don't you belong in school young lady?"
"I just got called out of school, to come pick up my daughter, who is sitting here at the moment, crying!" She was stunned. We weren't yelling. We both spoke in gentle tones.
"You're this girl's mother…"
"Yes I am."
"So you take care of her, and still go to school yourself?"
"Yep, I'm in 12th."
"That's amazing. I'm sorry if I sounded a bit rude at first."
"No apologies needed!" I signed her out and lifted her onto my hip, but she cried more. "Where's your school bag sweetie?"
"My classroom."
"Show me to your classroom!" I kneeled down, and sat her down, then stood back up.
She took my hand, and guided me to her room. I saw the teacher too.
"Hi you must be Sophia's mother! I'm Mrs. Piper, her teacher." I nodded and shook hands with her. "Here's her bag!"
"Thank you!" I slung it over my one shoulder, and lifted her up.
"Feel better Sophia!"
She nodded as we then departed.
I took her out to the car, and sat her in the car booster seat. I buckled her in and kissed her head. "Don't worry baby, we'll figure out what's wrong!" I got in the driver's side, and then drove to the hospital, after putting my seat belt on.
When I arrived, I lifted her up, keeping her balanced on my hip. I locked the doors, and then went to the ER, and signed her in. We waited for a few minutes, when her name was called. So I took her back, and she told the assistant everything that was wrong, and the pain on a scale of one to ten. She said an 8, and I felt so bad for her. So she was given a sling, with an ice pack over her wrist.
She cried even more, as I hugged her close to me. After we waited longer, a doctor came and examined her. She was taken for x-rays and we found out she had fractured it. So he was able to cast it for her, saying to get it off in a month. Then we left and I took her back to the house, carrying her in.
"I wanna go shopping!"
I sighed and we walked right back out the door. Then we got in the car and I drove to the store. When we arrived, I lifted her out of the car seat, and hitched her on my hip as we went in the store. "Let's buy you decorations for your birthday tomorrow!" We went inside and we started looking around when she pulled on my shirt sleeve.
"Yeah sweetie?" She pointed to the princess set. So I bought that and she was happy.
"Yay!"
I laughed as she walked next to me. "You thirsty hun?"
"Yeah!" I bought us both a drink and her some twizzlers. Then we walked back to the car and I lifted her up into her car booster seat. I buckled her in, then I went around and got in myself. Then I drove towards the house and looked in the mirror to see she fell asleep. I smiled and parked the car, after arriving, and got out.
After slowly unbuckling her, I lifter her into my arms, and went inside, carrying her up to her room. There, I laid her on the bed, then shut the door quietly, as I went to the next room to relax on the bed. But it wasn't long before I heard someone scream "wake up!" I jolt upright and heard laughter. My head turned to the doorway and I saw Scarlett. "Scarlett…how'd you"
"Get here? Alice! Now get down here missy! We have company!"
"Alright just keep your voice down! I finally got Sophia to go to sleep."
"Oh, sorry." Then out of her room Sophia walks.
"I'm hungry!" Scarlett noticed the cast.
"And the verdict was…"
"A fractured wrist."
"Ouch, poor girl!" She tapped the tip of Sophia's nose, and she giggled.
"So who's here?"
"Alice and Edward! He heard you stayed with me and wanted to come!" I blushed crimson. "Ooh is this a crush?"
"NO!"
"First step, denial!"
I whacked her arm and she laughed.
"Now get down here!"
"But…but"
"No buts!" She winked at me and I shuddered.
"Want a piggyback ride Sophia?" She nodded as I got down on my knees. Then she climbed onto my back, and I stood up. "How's some macaroni sound?" She nodded as I walked down the steps. Alice and Edward looked up with shocked expressions. She saw them and became nervous, only causing me to laugh.
I went to the kitchen, and put up a pot of water, and turned the burner on. "Ok this has to boil. Want to snack on some twizzlers?" She nodded. "Ok I might've left them in the car, stay right here!" She nodded.
"I love you mom."
I was touched. "I love you too!" I kissed her head, then went past the living room out to the car. I grabbed out the bag, and relocked it, coming back inside and to the kitchen. "Here you go!" I opened it up and took out a few twizzlers for myself. "Are you thirsty?" I got her out her soda, and loosened the cap, as she takes a sip. "Baby, why don't you come say hi?" She took a peak into the living room and Alice waved. But she quickly sat on my foot, and wrapped her arms and legs around mine.
Scarlett came in and got herself a drink. "Coming in?" I blushed and she laughed. "Come on!"
I moved, and each step I took with my right leg, Sophia giggled. "Umm hi guys!"
"Hey Christy!" She squeezed me in a hug.
"Nice to see you too Alice!"
Then she kneeled down. "Well hello!"
Sophia shied away and I giggled. "Sorry, she's shy." I lifted her up and hitched her on my hip.
"It's fine! Want to come over my house?" "I can't, I'm sorry."
"Aww how come?"
"I'm boiling water to make Sophia some macaroni."
"We can wait till it's done!"
"Thank you!" Sophia shook her head though. "You want to go, don't you?" She nodded. I sighed and walked into the kitchen, and turned off the burner. Then I dumped the water, and ran cold water in the pot. After that, I turned the water off and walked back into the living room. "Never mind, she changes her mind." Alice giggled and Molly walked down the steps. "Molly, me and Scarlett are going over Alice's house until the game tonight!"
"Ok, have fun you two!"
I went out to my car, and buckled Sophia in her car seat, then climbed in, and followed Alice to her house. When we arrived, I got out and took Sophia out, and sat her on my hip. Alice walked over to me as the others went in. "She's so cute!" I nodded. And as we walked inside, I saw the rest of the Cullen's.
"Mommy, where's daddy?"
I sucked a deep breath in. "He's out on an adventure baby remember?" All heads turned to me. And Alice was stunned as she pulled me to her room.
