Ruby Crawls
It was the day after that Drake became Ruby's legal guardian, & he was on cloud nine that he was this little girl's father.
"Hey Ruby what are you doing sweet girl you trying to crawl huh?" he asks her
"Ya" she says smiling that gummy smile
"Okay daddy is going to stay right here to see if you make any progress" he says taking a seat on the couch to see if she is going crawl
Slowly but surely she starts putting her left hand in front of her, and then she put her right hand in front of her left hand that as far as she got
"It's okay baby girl take your time it is not like you need to rush into crawling you will crawl when you are good and ready" he says when she looks up at him
Soon she stuck her tongue out, and put it above her lip before she started doing what she did before, and before long she started moving
"Oh my goodness my daughter is mobile now, so I guess daddy has to baby proof the house" he says going after her, but she is faster than her daddy
"I'm going to get you little girl when I do we are going to call nana and tell her that she has to baby-proof the house cause you are mobile now" he says as he continues to go after her
"Gotcha sweet girl now let's call nana to see if she has the house baby-proof for you, or does she have to have grandpop do it" he says when he finally catches her
After he got off the phone with his mom he went to get Ruby ready for her first swim class that he signed her up for at the local community center
(Community center)
"Mom, Walter, Josh what are you doing here?" Drake asks when he sees them in the lobby of the community
"Since its Ruby's first class we decided to come and see what she does" Aubrey says smiling
"Plus I'm going to video record it for you, so you can watch it later" Josh says holding up the video camera
"Oh that's nice Josh we better go get ready baby girl, or we're going to be late" Drake says going into the family changing room to change into their swim suits
"Well we better go find a seat in the small pool area" Walter says as the rest of them head to find the entrances to the pool area
"There we go don't you look beautiful in your flower swimsuit" Drake says when he has Ruby in her little swimsuit
Once Drake was in his swim trunks he left the family locker room to take Ruby to the small pool for her swim class
"Here comes Miss Ruby Parker with her daddy Drake say hi to the camera Ruby" Josh says as he films Drake carrying Ruby
"Hi Ruby if you are watching this in the future this is what you used to look like when you were a baby" Drake says to the camera
Once the teacher got in the water Drake sat Ruby on the ledge next to him as the class got started
"Okay everyone welcome to the parent child swim class or also known as the mama or daddy penguin and the little chick class" the teacher says
""This ought to be good" Drake says as he kicks his feet back and forth in the water
"Tonight the babies with your help of course are going to learn how to climb back up on the ledge by themselves" the teacher says as the parents with their babies got in the water
"Okay Ruby tonight you are going to try to pull yourself up onto the ledge with daddy holding onto you underneath on your bottom as you pull yourself up" he says as Ruby gets ready to pull herself up onto the slippery ledge
"It's okay baby girl I got you are not going to fall back into the water" Drake says as Ruby looks up to him
When Ruby felt comfortable she finally climbs up onto the ledge, but when she pulled herself up she fell back into the water accidently hitting her chin causing her to cry
"It's okay baby girl daddy's got you let's take a look at that chin shall we" he says as he sits her up onto the ledge to carefully take a closer look at her chin
"Mr. Parker Ruby still has to get up onto the ledge by herself without you helping her" the teacher says angrily
"Well sorry she was climbing onto the ledge and suddenly she slipped while pulling herself up cause her to hit her chin" Drake says back to the teacher
"She did slip and hit her chin I saw it" one parent said
"Well she is just going to have to do it again before we can continue the class" the teacher says back to the parent who just spoke
"Does anyone have some gauze on hand?" Drake asks the parents
"I do I'm a nurse bring her over to me, and we will see what we can do to get her fixed up" one mother says getting up to go over to her bag
"Thanks by the way my name is Drake" he says introducing himself to the mother of the little girl who was in Ruby's class
"Petunia Lavender my daughter is name is Autumn" Petunia says grabbing her nurse bag from the swim bag
"Oh my daughter's name is Ruby" Drake says setting Ruby down on the bench
"Okay Ruby let's see about that little chin of yours shall we huh?" Petunia says reaching into her bag to get the necessities she needed to take care of Ruby's chin
"It's okay sweetie the nice nurse is going to take care of you" Drake says as he tries to comfort his crying daughter
"That's a deep cut that she has on her chin I think she may need stitches cause the bleeding is not stopping" Petunia says
"Come on sweet girl let's get that taken care of" Drake says scooping a bawling Ruby up in her towel and headed for the family locker room to change her and take her to the hospital
"It's okay pretty girl daddy gonna take care of you" he says as he quickly takes her out to the car to take her to the hospital
Drake drives quickly to the hospital and he hopes she is okay back there in her car seat
"Here we go pretty girl let's get that chin of yours fixed up" he says taking her out of the car and headed for the emergency room to get her checked in
Immediately entering the emergency room Ruby was put in a room to wait for the doctor to come and stitch her up
"It's okay sweetie daddy here, and soon the doctor will take care of that nasty cut on your chin sweet girl" he says kissing her temple
As soon as Ruby got her stitches which were invisible she was released to go home
"Well so much for your pictures tomorrow" he says carrying a sleeping Ruby to the car
Tomorrow Drake was going to have Ruby's first pictures taken professional and since the accident happen he will reschedule for her first birthday that will make the pictures extra special
