SOMEWHERE IN THE VALLEY…..
V -"A CHAOTIC MORNING"
Melissa came downstairs to a chaotic household. FIRST, her mother and father were bickering to Phil about the irresponsibility of his work habits leaving Phil to walk out of the house, slamming the door behind him; Then Adriana was having a wardrobe malfunction as she seemed to misplace her favorite pink cardigan to match to her pink skirt with bedazzled designs on it. Meanwhile, little Penelope was not in a cheery mood this early morning. She did not want to eat nor did she want to get changed. She refused to let Adriana or anyone else hold her except for her dad who stepped out of the house.
Melissa went back upstairs to check on Adriana who was in stressed out crying mode.
Melissa: "hey! What's going on in here? Are you Ok Aid ?"
Melissa noticed she was still in her pajamas.
Adriana (sniffling) : "help me Mel? Can you watch Penelope while I change clothes really quick?"
Melissa: "Yeah. of course. Go ahead and change. I got her "
Adriana: "Thanks Mel. I'll be back."
Adriana passed Penelope in Melissa's arms as Penelope finally calmed down for the moment.
Melissa: "Why are you giving your mama hard time huh Princess?..Don't you know your mama loves you like Auntie Mel loves you?"
Penelope started to cooed and giggled as Melissa began tickling her tummy and the back of her feet. She lifted Penelope in the air for a quick diaper change check.
Melissa made a face and set Penelope down on the changing table and started to change Penelope's diaper in the timing of Adriana stepping out of the bathroom.
Adriana smiled and gave Melissa a side hug. "Thanks Auntie Mel. "
Mel: "no problem Aid. Are we ready to go?"
Adriana: " I thought Mrs. Duran is going to pick us up".
Mel: "it seems like Mrs. Duran is going to be slightly late and will meet us at the Cafe."
Adriana: "post honeymoon mode, huh? Betcha she's gonna get pregnant soon."
Mel: "after their food fight last night, don't' be surprised in a couple of weeks when the nausea begins."
Adriana: "wait! What? Those two had a food fight last night and I was not informed of the dirty details?!"
Mel: "don't worry Aid, Brunch is definitely going to be interesting today. Trust me. I got something to share later."
Just then, Phil went upstairs to join Adriana in the nursery. Melissa headed downstairs.
Phil: "how's my baby girl?"
Adriana: "I just fed her and Mel changed her. "
Phil: " awesome. Have fun at Brunch babe."
Adriana: "have a good day with Daddy, my Princess sweet pea"
She gave Penelope a kiss on the forehead and a one on Phil's cheek.
(Melissa: [calling out from downstairs] ): "ADRIANA!"
Phil: "we're all going to MK for dinner tonight right?"
Adriana: "yeah. according to Nora's text message: MK. 7pm in Wedding formal wear."
Phil made a face at the sound of Wedding formal wear.
(Melissa: [warning call] ) : "ADRIANA! LET'S GO!"
Adriana: "coming Mel!"
Adriana turned back to Phil and gave him another kiss. "I love you Phil. See ya"
Phil: "I love you too Aid! See ya tonight."
