" You're going to look so pretty doll." Milkshake said as she rinsed the soap from the little girl.
The little girl was happily splashing in the warm tub. Now that all the dirt was gone Milkshake and Racetrack could see the girl better. She had platinum blonde, curly hair and sky blue eyes.
Milkshake and Racetrack wrapped the small girl in a towel and took her into the bunkroom. Milkshake placed one of her t-shirts on the girl. The shirt went past the girls feet, but it would have to do for now.
" So doll." Racetrack said, looking at the little girl, who was now sitting on Milkshake's bed. "How old are you?"
The little girl held up three fingers with one hand.
" Three?" Racetrack said smiling.
The little girl nodded.
" Do you have a name sweetie?" Milkshake asked.
The little girl shook her head.
" Well how about we give ya a Newsie name?" Race said.
" That's a good idea Race. We just have to think of one."
" I've got the poyfect one. How about Curly?"
" I like it. Do you like it sweetie?" Milkshake asked the little girl.
"Curly." The girl said quietly.
Milkshake smiled. "That's right. Do you want it to be your name?"
The little girl smiled and clapped her hands together.
Just then one of the Newsies outside the door dropped something. Probably their walking stick. It landed with a huge thud, that scared Curly.
Curly started to cry.
" Oh, there there Curly, it's ok." Milkshake picked the small girl up and laid her against her chest.
Milkshake rocked slowly back and forth while rubbing Curly's back. Before she knew it, the little girl had fallen asleep in her arms. Racetrack took her from Milkshake and then placed her in one of the beds.
" What a little angel." Milkshake said looking at the girl sleep.
" Yea she is purty isn't she?" Racetrack said.
" Wanna go play some poker?" Milkshake asked.
" Sure."
The two walked out of the bunkroom and started to go into the other bedroom. They were just about to go inside the room to play a game of poker when Racetrack pulled back Milkshake.
" What Race?" she said tenderly.
" I, I cant believe you knew how to do that stuff."
"What stuff?"
" Give her a bath, and make her stop crying."
" I had no clue what I was doing Race. I just did what I wished my parents would've done for me. No one was ever there to take care of me, so I wanted to take care of her."
" I'll take care of ya Milkshake. I promise."
Racetrack pulled Milkshake in for a hug, and then kissed her tenderly.
Ok that was a Short Chapter I know! But I figured it was better than nothing. I've been sorta busy with school so that's why I haven't updated for a while. I hope to write several chapters this weekend and even possibly finish up the story. I doubt that I will finish the story, but if I do, don't worry because a sequel is underway!
To all of my reviewers, you guys are the best!
