A/N: I do not own Jessie
"De-de!" Ryan calls me. I look over at him. He was coming in late today, which wasn't okay with me because I got left with all the losers.
"There you are!" I say as I place one hand on my hip. He looks down shyly.
"Sowwy De-de." He says as he opens his arms for a hug. My face breaks out into a smile as I hug him back.
"It's okay!" I say as I pull him over to our table at the back. Everyone else exiled us there, jeez; this is a tough bunch of pre-pre-schoolers.
"What you doing?" he asks me. I point down at the paint set that is on the table.
"paint." I say as I sit back down and put her finger back into the finger paint. He shrugs and joins me, we laugh as we continue to paint the picture. No matter what anyone says Ryan is the most grown up outta all these kids.
We sit and paint on our pieces of paper, I make a field and flowers, he makes... well... I don't actually know.
"Kids! Everyone needs to put their things away! It's clean up time!" Anna, the daycare person, says. Ryan and I start putting caps back on paints and putting them in the paint tray.
"You two," Anna says as she walks over to us and bends down to be our high. I guess it is to be less intimidating, well let me tell you, it works, "I'm going to keep your picture here and you can get them when you come back." She says. We both nod.
After cleaning up we all eat lunch and start to pack up. Our parents are picking us up at the park today. Well in my case, Jessie is.
I put everything in my Harry Potter backpack and line up with Ryan. We have to walk in partners, so we are always partners.
"Ready to go everyone?" Anna asks. We all say yes and we are off.
The daycare isn't that far from Central park so after a few minutes we are there.
"Come on." I say to Ryan as I lead him to under a tree. We both sit down in the shade and giggle as the other kids all go to the playground and start fighting over different pieces of equipment.
"Lets go play!" Ryan says. I nod and we walk over to the playground together. But as soon as we are about ten feet away, I measured in my head so I'm pretty sure it is ten feet, Clair, one of the judgemental and narrow minded kids walks over to us.
I guess I shouldn't call her that, considering I am her age. But internally I am eighteen, so I am entitled to call her things.
"Ryan and Destin sittin in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G." She said in a mocking tone. Ryan and I try to walk by but she steps in the way, "are you two going to be mommy and daddy together?" she asks.
"Hey! Leave my sister alone!" I hear someone say. I look over to see Zuri run over to us.
"But they're being gross!" Clair says as she stomps her foot.
"Don't be mean!" Zuri says to her, knowing she can't be harsh since it is a little kid.
"Ryan!" I hear a woman call. I look over to see his mother.
"Bye De-de." He says to me as he kisses my check and runs over to his mom.
"Bye-bye." I say to him and then I look back over at Zuri.
"Come on Destiny, we're too good to be standing right here." Zuri says as she grabs my hand and takes me with her to the playground. I see a blonde woman sitting there, but I don't think anything of it as I walk with Zuri.
"Thank you." I say to Zuri as I look up at her. She was a good little sister and a good older sister. She is very good at the sister roll.
"Nobody is allowed to push you around." She states as we get over to the playground. "By the way, do you know what mom's password is?" she asks me.
"No." I say. Zuri sighs.
"Nobody does!" all of the sudden I see Jessie, on the swing? "I have to go push her, you know how it is." Zuri states as she runs over to Jessie.
All of the sudden the woman turns around and I see it is mom. "Mommy!" I say as I run over to her. Mom smiles as she picks me up and hugs me along with kissing my forehead.
"Hello Dest!" She says as she helps me take off my backpack, "How was daycare?" she asks me as she sets me on her lap.
"Good! I paint." I say as I push up the sleeves of my sweater to show her my paint covered arms.
"That must have been fun!" She says as smoothes down my bangs, making then go into my eyes, "these need to be cut soon." She says to herself more than me.
I look over and see Clair staring at
me; I quickly look away and up to mom.
"Mommy, why do Zuri need your password?" I ask her in a confused tone. She laughs but doesn't answer the question, I know why though. She wants to go on her email. I know the password, well I use to. When I was Jen, it was the date of when she and dad got married.
"She just wants to go on my emails, don't worry about it." Mom says with a smile as she looks over at Jessie and Zuri who are playing together. "Why don't you go play with Zuri and Jessie?" mom ask me and she pulls her fingers through my tangled hair.
"Don't want to." I say as I look up at her. Mom studies my face for a second before placing me on my feet and helping me put my backpack back on.
"Hey Jessie?" she says. Jessie look over at her, "I'm just bring Destiny home." She says. Jessie nods and continues to play with Zuri. Mom grabs my hand and we start to walk back in the way of the hotel.
"Mommy why we go home?" I ask her as I skip along beside her.
"Well, I think we should." Mom says simply as we come to the street. We stop and wait for the cars to stop before we cross.
"Mommy" I say again.
"Hmm?" she continues to look forward as we head into the lobby.
"I tired." I say. She sighs and while we wait for the elevator she lifts me up into her arms.
"Better?" she asks me. I nod and wait for the elevator. I wonder if Tony has a make-the-elevator-faster guy.
