Chapter Two

I could hear the birds chirping outside the window and I could feel my Emmy bear breathing softly. I smiled down at her and kissed the top of her precious little head. Then glanced at the clock, 8:00am. Whoa, I didn't I know I fell asleep. Oh gosh Noah and Ryan are coming today. I've gotta clean the house. But I can't leave my baby girl. And oh my gosh, Emmy's gonna be late for school!

"Emmy bear, time to get up my precious little angel." I whispered softly into her ear. She groaned in her sleep. I ran my hand softly through my baby girl's precious hair. "Come on my angel, time to get up. You've got to go to school today darling." Her eyes shot open and they looked up at me. Then she shook her head violently at the though of school. Oh no, I thought, somebody's bullying my precious baby!

"Mommy please don't make me go. Everyone hates me now." She said as tears ran down her precious little cheeks. I sighed and wiped her tears from her cheeks. I pulled her back into my arms and cradled her like she was a baby. Well she is a baby, my baby. I rocked her back and forth softly as I hummed the same soothing tune again. Soon she was fast asleep in my arms.

The doorbell rang, must be Noah and Ryan. I got up and went to open the door. "Hey you two." I said smiling at them. "Hey Emmy bear, Aunt Noah and Uncle Ryan are here!" I yelled to her. And there she came running out. Can she get any cuter? I smiled at her and kissed her cheek. She smiled back, then said hello to the guests.

"Hey little one. Your mommy told me you missed us! We missed you too." My sister said as she hugged my baby girl. I smiled looking at them, so cute. My two favorite girls. Well, it was three until she passed away.

"Well my mommy was right!" She said resting her head on Noah's shoulder. Noah wrapped her arms around her. "You know what little Emmy?" Emily looked up at my sister and shook her head no.

"You're gonna have a new baby cousin soon sweetie." She smiled huge. Typical Noah, always had been dreaming of having children. Especially since she met my precious daughter. My sweet, precious Emmy bear. I couldn't help but smile. Gosh, how I love my precious little girl!

Emily looked up at her. "Really? You're having a baby? What kind?" Aww, how cute is she! Noah nodded happily. "We're having a little baby boy. His name is Samuel." She smiled saying the name.

"When are you having him Auntie Noah?" My baby girl smiled. How adorable. "We don't know yet Emily, darling. At least not for a few more months." Was Noah's reply.

It was almost five o'clock, so I started to make dinner. But stopped when I heard Emily scream. I ran to her room as fast I could. She was lying on her bed thrashing around. "Emmy, baby girl, wake up!" I pulled her into my arms and shook her gently until she woke up.

"NO! Please don't kill me!" She screamed. I put my finger over her mouth and whispered into her ear. "Shh. Its okay my precious angel. Mommy's here, I'm not gonna let anyone hurt you, my angel. NO ONE." I laid on the bed and put her precious head gently onto my chest. "Shh, I promise no one is ever gonna hurt you my sweet darling angel. They'll have to go through me first." I soothed, running my hand softly through her long, silky, blonde hair. I wrapped the covers from her bed around the two of us and calmed her with a soothing tune.

She looked up at me a few moments later. "I'm sorry mommy." She said. I caressed her cheek softly and placed a kiss on her forehead. "Oh Emmy bear, you don't need to apologize to mommy! I'm always here for you sweetheart. Always." I said softly into her ear. She laid her precious little head back on my chest and sighed. I ran my hand gently through her hair, "Want to help mommy make dinner baby?" I asked softly.

Emily nodded slowly. "Okay. What're we having?" She replied. I placed a soft kiss on her head and said, "Whatever you'd like my sweet angel." That made her smile, which made me smile too.

"You want to lay down for a bit longer sweetie? Or do you want to go make dinner?" I asked stroking her beautiful, soft hair. She looked up at me then looked at the door. "I'm kind of tired mommy." I held her tight in my arms. "Okay my precious baby, you can sleep for a few. I'll be right here when you wake up. I promise." I told her as I pulled her closer to me.

"Kay mommy. Uhm c-c-can you..nevermind." I patted her back softly. "Go ahead and ask me baby girl! You can ask me anything my darling angel." I said softly to her. I wrapped her in my arms very protectively. "Can you uhm hum that tune you always hum mommy?" I smiled and nodded. "You want to know something sweetie?" She nodded.

"When I was about your age, even younger to be exact, I wrote many different songs. Did I tell you about my dad, your grandfather, being a country singer?" Emily shook her head no. "Well he was for years. It was amazing watching him up there on stage, actually when I was even younger I would always run up there with him. Which is how I decided on wanting to be a singer." I smiled remembering everything. Emily looked up at me and smiled. "So did you become a singer mommy?" I smiled down at her and nodded happily.

"Indeed I did darling. I started out when I turned 13. My daddy helped with so much! It was the most amazing feeling being up there on the stage every night! I loved it so much." I looked down to Emily who had her head laid on my chest. She looked up at me. "Why'd you stop mommy?" Oh no I can't tell my precious baby girl the truth! It'd crush her poor, sweet, little heart..

"Aww, Emmy bear, it doesn't matter why. All that matters is that, I've got a beautiful, precious, baby girl to take care of." I said as I held her close to me and ran my hand through her hair. "Now, Emmy darling, rest for a few. Kay? Then we'll make dinner." I wrapped my arms tight around her and softly hummed the soothing tune. She soon fell asleep with a smile on her face.

I placed a soft, gentle kiss on her forehead and fell asleep too.
