Chapter 13
Grgr's visit
June 27, 1998
Badwolf's POV
"Baddy, she's trying to crawl!" Red yelled.
"Wha? OH." I snapped out of my daydream to see Ceris' try to get on her hands and knees, but she ended up sitting on her bottom instead and reached for me.
"Dada." She smiled. The baby book said she doesn't know what dada or mama means yet. She would understand who we when she turns 2 or 3. But it was so cute.
"Come 'ere, baby girl." I picked her up.
"Pfft." She blew a razzberry.
"Yes, Sweetie. You have a tongue." I nuzzled her cheek. She was very happy and didn't try to pull my beard.
"Aw." My wife cooed.
"Baddy! Where's my granddaughter? It's been forever." Mama came it into the living room.
"Grgr." Cerise had taken a liking to Grandma Wolf since she tried her cream puffs. The filling part. She can't eat the whole thing yet.
"Hi, Mrs. Wolf." Red stood up to shake her hand.
"Hello, Red." Mama smiled as nicely as she could. She still didn't like Red was feeding Cerise and living with me, but Cerise wasn't ready to wean yet.
"GRGR." Cerise insisted. I handed to her to "Grgr".
"Hello, Cerise." Mama swung her left and right. She giggled.
Red looked at me like I ruined her day. I didn't let her in. She found the key again. No matter where I hide it, she finds it. I went to go find Red some food. I think we had some little cakes left from the store. Yes, I was right. I gave Red the cake and we watched my mother play with our daughter. Cerise was happy to have someone new to play with, too. Cerise went back to rolling and followed us whenever we got up. She's very hyper today.
"Baddy, check her diaper." Red asked me.
"Ok." I did and decided it was wet enough to change and had take Ceris' to her room. She was crying because I took her away.
"Wahh!" She wailed.
"They're in the living room. They're not going leave, Sweetheart." I promised. But she wasn't hearing any of it. I had to calm her down and then I took her back out.
"Baddy was clingy little baby. Always wanting my attention. His brothers and sisters were just fine. I think I woke more for him than any other of my children." Mama laughed. Red did, too.
"Baba." Cerise announced our arrivel.
"Your mom was just telling about you as a baby." Red looked at us, ready to take her again.
"Mom!" I whined as I gave Cerise to the Hood woman.
"You were a good, relatively speaking of course, child. You just needed my attention." Mama gave me kiss on the cheek. I huffed and made a big deal about it.
"Grgr?" Cerise wanted a kiss, too.
"Yes, child." My mother gave the baby a peck and went home to go check her garden.
"I think your mother is starting to like me." Red nodded.
"That's good." I put Cerise on the floor. We went to get some of her toys off the floor. Cerise was following us, but the noise was different. Not thuwp, thuwp, but more like pat, pat. I looked and she was on her hands and knees, rocking back and forth, waiting for one of us to move.
"Red, turn around and watch Cerise while you walk." I told her. She did and took and few steps back. Cerise followed, crawling.
"OH, Sweetie. You can crawl now!" She hugged Cerise. Our baby was confused, but happy. She grugled.
"Let's have her try on the kitchen floor." I said.
"Ok. Ceris', follow Mommy." My wife got her to go to the kitchen and crawl a few feet. Then she didn't want to anymore and started rolling agian.
"Aah." Cerise yawned.
"That was a lot of hard work, huh?" I picked her up. She listened to my heartbeat, not even trying to respond to my voice. I walked with her until she fell asleep.
