Family- Mother 3
Ness held a camera. "Honey, are you gonna be one of those Dads?" Paula said. The camera blurred as he moved it to his wife's face. "Yes. I want to remember every single moment." Paula laughed and grabbed her daughter by her underarms. "Do you like your Daddy like that?" Pollyanna clapped her hands happily. "Oh! What's that?" She put the child to sit on her waist as Ness focused the camera "Mommy's your favorite?" Ness looked up. "Nuh-uh! I'm her favorite." The baby laughed the typical high-pitched laugh. "'Nuh-uh?' How old are you?"
Ignoring the comment about his maturity, Ness grabbed his daughter, setting the camera on the ground. "Let her pick her favorite." Paula snickered at the movement. Ness sat on the ground several feet away from the confused baby. "Oh, You're serious." She smoothed her dress down as she sat adjacent to her husband. Pollyanna pressed her small hands onto the floor and began to lift herself up. Calls from both sides confused the small child. Was one promising ice cream? She began to hobble forward on her untrained legs. The door opened, revealing Jeff. "Hey." He saw the two adults call at their child, trying to get her to come to them. He felt something tug at him. "Jeff." She cooed. He saw the child grab onto his legs. Leaving the two parents gobsmacked
I'd imagine Jeff as one of those family friends who just drop in for visits. Polly likes him.
