Pretty Girl

Lacy dropped Rachel off to her mother while she was at Maria's.

"She's beautiful," Cori-Lynn said of Rachel. "Hi sweetheart," she said to Rachel. "Oh my. You certainly do look like your daddy."

Rachel smiled shyly.

"Dada?" Rachel asked, looking up at her mother. She wanted to know where "dada" was.

"Daddy's at work. He'll be home soon," Aimee told Rachel.

"Someone is a daddy's girl," Cori-Lynn said.

Rachel enjoyed showing off her "pity" new nails that she had got painted a bright pink at the beauty parlor with "nana." The two stayed at Maria's house for another hour till Horatio came to pick them up. Maria was glad that Cori-Lynn would get to meet 'H.' She had told her cousin that although Horatio was fifteen years older then his wife, she hadn't seen a more compatible couple. The two were comfortable with public displays of affection but were always polite about the boundaries to that.

Cori-Lynn had heard during the afternoon that H was quite excited about the new baby's upcoming arrival.

"He's looking forward to another little girl to spoil," Aimee had said.
