Title: Rain

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters that belong to Joss Whedon, or Mutant Enemy. The original idea was from a GidgetGirl challenge, and this is a continuation of that story, Stolen Innocence. There is no need to read that story to understand this one, though it would be great if you did.
Author's notes: This was originally a nameless story, and by that I mean the characters had no names, that I wrote for a journal entry. Then, while doing dishes, my diabolical mind twisted and turned to story, and this was born.
And if you care, it's raining right now!(Well, when it was written)
START OF STORY
Her eyes opened wide, shedding their sleepy blanket.
"Wain."
She pulled herself upright and looked out the window across from her crib.
"Wain."
She deftly climbed up and over the crib, a feat she had perfected only twice before. She fell towards the big stuffed animal left in the perfect position near her crib. She crawled off Mr. Snuggles and pushed herself upright.
"Wain."
She stumbled across the hall, pushing against the closed door of her parent's room.
"Wain!"
Her older sister came up behind her, "Shh," she put a finger to her lip, "Mommy and Daddy are sleeping."
"Wain."
"Shh." Her older sister hushed her. She put her own finger to her lips and tried.
"Pfft," she giggled, "Wain."
"Come on." She picked up the youngest Summers and carried her back towards the room they shared.
"Wain!" she started to cry.
"We've got to get your diaper changed first." She placed her on the floor, and she watched as the grabbed the wipes and a new diaper.
"Wain," she whispered, as her sister tried to change her diaper. A few minutes later, the diaper was on, and Ashleigh picked up her sister, carrying her clumsily down the stairs. She set her at the foot of the stairs, and she raced off for the door. "Wain!" she pounded her fists against the door.
"First you need your coat. And your boots, and your hat." She fought the one and a half year old, putting on the rain gear. Then she put on her own, and stretched up to unlock the door, before taking her sister out into the warm morning.
"WAIN!" the child squealed as she tottered over to a puddle and jumped in it. Ashleigh rushed over and jumped in the puddle too. Alex laughed and fell down in the puddle.
POV BREAK
She woke up and looked around. She had heard something. She quietly got out of the bed, careful not to wake her husband beside her, and pulled on her bathrobe. Then she slipped downstairs, only to find the door ajar.
"Wain!" she heard as she peeked outside. Alex and Ashleigh were splashing in a puddle.
"No, that's a puddle. Can you say that? Pu-ddle."
"Puckle."
"Close," Ashleigh looked up to see her standing there, "Mommy! Come play in the puddle with us!"
She smiled as she walked out in her bare feet to stand in the puddle.
"Wain. Puckle." Alex smiled, splashing her little fists in the water.
