Manny saw the light shining through her window when she opened her eyes. She looked over to where the crib sat and saw the crib was empty!
"Alexis," Manny said getting out of bed.
"Alexis!" She said again, only louder this time.
She hurriedly ran out to the living room while panicking and looked at the couch to see Emma playing with Alexis in the living room.
"Thank heavens," Manny said relieved.
"Hey Manny. I heard Alexis crying this morning and didn't want to wake you so I came in and got her," Emma said handing Alexis to Manny.
"Okay, just leave me a note next time. Okay?" Manny said holding her daughter.
"Okay, sorry," Emma said apologetically.
"It's okay," Manny said, and then asked her, "Do you mind watching Alexis while I go and get in the shower?"
"Not at all," Emma said and stood up and held her arms out to Alexis who clung onto her mom.
"Okay, thanks Em. Go with Aunty Emma for a little while. Mommy will be right back," Manny said handing Alexis to Emma.
Manny quickly went down the hall to her room and pulled out the clothes she would where for the day. She then pulled out some of Alexis's clothes and laid them on the bed. She hurriedly walked into the bathroom and took a quick shower. Once she was dressed she blow dried her hair and walked into the living and took Alexis from Emma and took her and gave her bath. When they were both ready to go Manny walked back into the living room where Emma was sitting.
"Emma, We're leaving. We shouldn't be too long. Alexis, Jake and I are to the carnival. Jake thought we could have family fun," Manny said walking over to the door, which someone had just knocked on.
Manny opened the door to see Jake standing there.
"Dada," Alexis squealed.
"Hey princess," Jake said and took Alexis from Manny.
"Ready to go," Jake asked leaning down and kissing Manny gently on the lips.
"Yep," Manny said and took his hand and they left.
When they reached the carnival Jake walked around the other side and opened Manny's door for her and then took Alexis out of her car seat and walked up to the ticket booth where he bought tickets for the kiddie rides.
Manny and Jake took Alexis on all the kiddie rides. After about a hour they decided to go and get something to eat. They walked over to the booths and bought hamburgers for themselves and Manny pulled the baby food out of the diaper bag that she had brought for Alexis.
While Manny fed Alexis she ate at the same time. Jake had run over to get them drinks and finally came back with two drinks, one in each hand. By the time they had finished eating it was six o'clock that evening.
"We should probably get going," Jake said while cleaning Alexis up.
"Yeah, probably," Manny said and stood up and put the diaper bag on her shoulder.
They walked out of the entrance gate to the carnival and out to the car. Once at the car Manny buckled Alexis in then got in herself. When she got in Jake was already in. As they drove home they stopped at a red light.
The last thing Manny saw was the lights turn green and headlights speeding towards them.
