Gail brought the colourful spoon up to Danni's mouth for the umpteenth time. The girl turned her head defiantly, again. Gail was getting frustrated, the girl hadn't eaten all day, and still refused to. With a loud sigh she plopped the spoon into the baby bowl on the high hair table.

"Still not eating?" Holly asked from her station in the kitchen.

"Nope."

Holly hummed. "Maybe she's not used to the food. Should I give Lauren a call?"

Gail looked to the gorgeous baby girl that recently entered their family.

It'd been a few days since Danni and her brother, Will, had come to live with them, and up until that morning everything seemed to be okay. Will and Callie absolutely adored each other, they played together perfectly, and balanced each other out personality wise. Will was already used to being an older sibling, knew the ropes of all that came with it, so adding Callie to his list wasn't a big deal. Whereas Callie had to learn how to have an older and younger sibling, luckily they hadn't had to deal with sibling teasing or 'I'm the older one so you have to listen to me' just yet. What did get the sandy haired girl in a fit was the first time Holly couldn't hold her because she had to hold Danni, that earned a foot stomp and screamed demands.

Of course the decision on adopting Will and Danni wasn't out of the blue, Callie had been told all about it, she was even part of the decision. Gail and Holly had explained everything that would change, and reassure her of the things that wouldn't. But emotions run on a whim when you're two and when you want your mothers hug you want it right that second, and there was nothing else to it.

"No, let's keep trying and if she doesn't eat by desert time, then we'll call." Gail glanced at her wife.

Holly smiled and nodded.

Gail kept trying. She used all kinds of noises, angles, pretend to eat and enjoy it faces, she even threatened the kid. And all she got were grunts, head turns, and few splats of the baby food on her face. Which made amused Holly to no end.

Soon dinner was called and Danni got a break from the fussing.

"I thought Danni didn't eat dinner with us until she could feed herself." Will was confused as to why his sister was at the table and not in her play-scoot-thing like every other night they had dinner together.

"Danni refused to eat, so we are taking a break and trying again after we eat." Gail explained to the four year old across from her.

"Can I try?"

"Sure, maybe she'll listen to her big brother."

And he did try. For five minutes. But still no waver in Danni's refusal. They whole family had gathered around the high chair, all eager for the six month old to eat. Gail was starting to think that Danni was doing for all of the attention.

"Let me try." Holly waved for her wife to pass her the spoon, and wiggled her way to the front of the high chair.

Gail happily obliged and made way for the brunette.

Holly tried the same tactics as the other three had to no avail.

"Mommy likes it, look." She put the spoon to Gail's mouth but misjudged the distance and accidentally put the food in her mouth instead of the pretending she intended.

Gail coughed before sputtering out the fakest hum of approval ever, and everyone burst out into laughter when that was what got Danni to take a bite. They soon found out that Gail had to take a bite, fed by Holly, in order for Danni to do so.

All three kids -and Holly- giggled with every grimace Gail gave, she never thought being so grossed out, shuddering with disgust, would be something she wished didn't have to end in just a few minutes. Never did she think that her nights would be spent eating the grossest baby food -seriously who thought it was good enough for consumption-, and laughing with a family, her family.
