Chapter 25

Missing

"ARE YOU SURE SHE'S NOT HUNGRY!" Ron yelled over the crying and wailing of Shannon.

"I'M SURE RON, I FED HER AN HOUR AGO!" I shouted back at him.

If you all are wondering 'what is going on in that house?' it's simple. I went to go and put Shannon down for her nap, and not even five minutes later, I have to go back up because she in crying her little head off, I even bet it was only a minute. So for the last 30 minutes Shannon's been crying and I'm doing her best to rock her to sleep... not helping.

"RON, MAYBE SOMETHING IS MISSING FROM HER CRIB, SHE DOESN'T HAVE GAS, DIRTY DIAPER, OR IS HUNGRY!" I yelled back to him. Instantly Ron ran upstairs and came running back down five minutes later, five slow minutes. I swear, I was going deaf because of her.

"HER STUFFED BUNNY IS MISSING!" My husband yelled over the infant's crying.

"WHERE COULD IT BE?" I shouted still rocking Shannon in my arm. I could feel her tears and drool leaking through my shirt.

"RUFUS! HELP!"

The naked mole rat walked into the room, with yet again, a cute annoyed face with his paws covering his ears.

"RUFUS, DO YOU KNOW WHERE SHANNON'S BUNNY IS?" We asked at the same time.

Rufus, for who knows what reason, ran off. I couldn't take the screaming any more, handed Shannon to Ron, who gave a wine in disapproval. I ran upstairs to find the bunny. I found her pacifier, but we gave up on that twenty minutes ago. I searched and searched, and still nothing.

I ran to the kitchen to see if it was there... and again, nothing. I began thinking, and then I remembered. Shannon had a nightmare again, and so I brought her to bed with us. How dumb am I? Don't answer that.

I ran upstairs and into my room, and I saw it. Right there on my pillow was her stuffed bunny; the little light brown stuffed bunny.

I picked it up and I took it down stairs to where Ron was being tortured by his daughter's screams. I took Shannon from him, and I showed her beany baby. It was like magic; Shannon stopped crying and took the bunny. And she was asleep in seconds.

I turned to Ron and saw that Ron was asleep with Rufus on the couch.

I shook my head and decided that I needed sleep as well. I walked upstairs and into my room, I sat on the bed and laid down with my princess beside me.

"Sleep tight Princess, you have a long life ahead of you." I told my baby before falling asleep myself.
