Max took a good look at Logan.
He had Sophie on his lap and seemed very comfortable. He was playing with
her, teasing her. She was smiling so I guess she liked it.
Logan turned his head towards Max.
" Would you mind taking Sophie for a minute?" He began to left
her when Max said abruptly:
" NO! I don't want to hurt her, you know, what if I hold her too
tight?" She must be kidding me with that lame excuse.
" Max, don't be foolish. You wont kill her. I'm sure you took care of
one somewhere in your life." As if.
" A CHILD yeah!, but not a BABY! " She was upset. " Just
look at her...she's so small! " No way I'm taking her.
" Don't be so childish." That will make her hangry!
' Who does he think he is to call me a child? I'm not a child, never was
and never will be nobody's child!'
" You call me that again and I'll beat on your skinny @ss!" You
want attitude, you'll get it!
" For the record, I do NOT have a skinny @ss." Why does
everybody keeps saying that?
" For the record, I DIDN'T have baby-sitting classes at
Manticore." Like I'm supposed to know everything in this goddamn
world.
" Fine. Now, will you take her please? She wont bite you I
promess." I can't say the same for me...
Max leant near Logan, so near her hair was touching his face, and took
Sophie in her arms. 'Gee! He's smelling sooo gooood!'
" Max..." He was almost laughing. " You can hold her closer
to your heart, that way she'll feel better. " Mr. Knows-it-all! I
hate it when he's right.
" What are you doing?" He was wheeling from one room to the
other.
" I'm just looking for the playground park. Bella put it on the
sofa...Ah! there it is. " He opened it." There little girl, you
can play all you want now. " Max layed her in there and Sophie
started to cry." Why is she crying? Kids.
"She must like you!"
" Na, I think she's hungry. That much I DO know!" Like
me...right! Well, at least if it's true, there's one in the family who
does express her feelings more than others. Let me try something...
" I like that blue sweater on you." Didn't even move an inch!
" Have you seen a bag with breast milk in it?"
" A what?!!"
