Chapter 12

Angel could hardly control herself as she and Collins reached Roger's building. She stood impatiently on the front steps waiting for Collins to catch up with her, she had run ahead leaving him with all the luggage.

"Oh I can't wait to see my baby! I've missed her so much." Angel exclaimed as she bounced from one foot to the other. "Collins hurry up"

"Well maybe if you didn't pack so much." He called jokingly up to her. Angel put her hands on her hips and let her mouth fall open.

"Do you think this look just happens? Do you think these clothes just fall on me? A lot of things are needed for this look to happen." This gave Collins time to catch up with her on the door step, and open the door.

"After you." He managed to say while catching his breath. Angel just smiled and walked into the building. Taking the steps two at a time, Collins didn't know how she managed not to break her ankle on the way. By the time Collins reached the final landing, the door to the loft was already open.

"Eva sweetheart! Mommy has missed you so so much!" Collins looked through the door to see Angel give Evangeline a big kiss on the forehead. Roger was just sitting on the couch, wearing leather pants of all things; Collins found that to be a little unusual.

"Hey Roger, what's with the leather? Trying to see how young you can seduce them?" Collins asked him as he walked over and took Eva from Angel. Evangeline started to stir as he placed her in his arms.
"Funny Collins, but you can thank your daughter for that. She ruined my only clean pair of pants"

Angel turned to look at Roger, "So Roger how was it babysitting for a whole weekend?" Roger let out a laugh before responding.

"Who needs drugs when you have a baby? You're awake all the time, paranoid, and you smell bad. It's the same thing"

"So what did you two find to do this whole time"

"Well lets see?" Roger turned to look at Evangeline. "We went to the park, she almost got me another girlfriend, then the only way to stop her from crying was to sing to her. Then I kind of let Maureen watch her for a day." This caught both Angel and Collins attention. Angel was the first to speak.

"Wait a minute. You let Maureen watch my baby? What in the world possessed you to do that?" "She wanted to take Eva shopping, nothing bad happened. She only had her for a few hours, before getting fed up and bring her back here"

"Well it doesn't take much to get Maureen fed up. What did Eva do, let out a small cry"

"Actually it was more than a small cry. She wouldn't stop crying"

"Why what happened? Did she get hurt? She looks fine? It's not bad is it?" Angel asked him in a panic, while giving Evangeline a look over.

"Nothing bad happened. Eva was crying nonstop and she had a fever so I took her to the doctors. She just has a cold, actually she's doing a lot better her fevers gone down"

Angel cradled Evangeline close to her chest. "Oh my poor baby you got a cold? But it sounds like your Uncle Roger took good care of you." "Thanks Roger"

"Anytime man, anytime"

"So she wasn't too much trouble?" Angel asked while shifting Evangeline in her arms.

"Well accept for the fact that my pants are now ruined. Everything was fine"

"I'm sure we can buy you another pair." Collins stated reassuringly.

"No you can't. They were from a limited edition collection at Bloomingdales." Roger told him matter-a-factly.

Angel raised both her perfectly shaped eyebrows and looked Roger right in the eye. "You shop at Bloomingdales"

"Shopped. Past-tense"

Angel just laughed before adding a quick "sure whatever" under her breath. "Oh before I forget." Roger said as he got up and walked over to the other side of the loft, picking up a small plastic bag. "These are from Maureen"

He dropped the bag on the table in front of Angel. Who immediately drove into its contents. Pulling out first the little pink and green dress. "Oh this is so cute." Angel said as she pressed the dress against Evangeline.

"So Maureen actually thought of someone else for a change." Angel went back looking through the bag and pulled out the pair of cow horns.

"Oh no, don't tell me she's plans on using Eva in her protests." Roger just put up his hands, while Eva started to make small laughing noises.

"No Eva, don't tell me you like this little outfit." Collins started looking through the bag and pulled out the little bell that was to be fitted around the collar of the outfit.

"Look, it even comes with a little bell." He rang it back and forth in front of Eva's face to demonstrate the sound. Evangeline just started laughing again , while trying to reaching up and grab it. Angel just shook her head, and placed the cow horns back in the bag.

"Remind me to thank Maureen later." Angel handed Evangeline over to Collins, who took her into his arms and continued to wave the bell in her face. She picked the bag up of the table and shoved it into the purse that was hanging off her left shoulder. Angel started to gather up Eva's stuff that was scattered around the loft, Roger got up out of his chair and helped her. Collins went and placed Eva in her car seat, she immediately feel asleep.

"Sorry we can't stay longer but those meetings just wear me out man." Collins told Roger as he started to place bags into the empty seat of the stroller. "No problem, I have to run out anyway." Roger said as he cleaned out the bottles from the small fridge.

"Shopping at Bloomingdales again?" Angel asked with a laugh. Roger just shot her a dirty look, and continued to gather things together. Once everything was packed together, Roger walked over to where Evangeline was in her car seat.

He picked up her sleeping form and gave her a kiss on the forehead, "You come back and visit your Uncle Roger soon ok sweetheart. Next time I'll keep Maureen away from you." He placed her back down and turned to see Angel fanning herself, and with just a hint of sarcasm added:

"Oh I think I'm gonna cry." Roger shot her yet another dirty look.

"Keep that up and I think I just might have to call Maureen." Angel stopped her fanning and went to pick up a bag off the chair. Collins stepped forward ad clapped Roger on the back before saying:

"Thanks for everything, I don't know who else I could trust"

"Anytime man. Anytime."
