Power Poff Girls: My writing schedule works like this: I write for one story until I finish the chapter then I work on the other story. Ok? Just because I'm gone for a few weeks doesn't mean I abandoned it. Also, I fixed the dates on chapters 10-17.
Chapter 17
Back to school
August 31, 1998
"Are you packed?" Red asked.
"Yeah." I zipped my suitcase closed.
"Did you remember you toothbrush? Hairbrush?" She poked through my toiletry bag and went to go get something.
"Dada." Cerise rolled onto her tummy. We put her on a blanket with some toys.
"Hey, Babygirl." I tickled her. She giggled.
"Rrr." She grabbed my arm and tried to pin me down by rolling on top of my arm. I turned my arm over.
"You're so strong. You pinned down the Big Bad Wolf. What will I do?" I tried not to laugh.
"Ceris', get off you father. You can't keep him here." Red said as the baby slid off and reached for her other parent.
"What'd I forget?" I asked my wife.
"Just a bottle of medicine." She told me, zipping my bag up.
"One's pretty good." I said.
"Baddy, you're always going to need my help." She kissed my forehead.
"Dada. Mama. Wowo. Lolo." Cerise just learned the words "love" and "Wolfie". Still working on Dollie.
"Yes, we love you, Sweetie." I smiled.
"Get going. We'll be here when you come back." Red smiled.
"Ok. I'll back soon, Ceris'. Be good for Daddy." I kissed the little girl's head and took my bags to the well. I jumped in and was back at Ever After High. I took my bags to my room and left them there. I went the nursery next.
"Hello?" I asked the lady at the desk.
"What can I do for you, Sir?" She said.
"Can I look around to see how this place is?" I saw her face as she looked up turn to shock.
"Uh, yes. F-follow me." Her tag said Terry. We went to the nap room frist. Some babies were in there. It seemed ok. One of them spit up on themselves though.
Then we went to the play room it had a lot of toys. She said they were cleaned everyday and the floor too. Babies were messy. The kitchen had dotanted breast milk and baby food. There were changing tables in every room. It seemed ok, but Cerise would be the one to decide if she was going to stay. She knew how to use a bottle and was ok with other babies... But still.
"I left my daughter at home so I could get set up without having to worry about her. Could I bring her tomorrow?" I asked when Terry went back to desk. The people you trust with family are the last people you should piss off.
"Yes, that's fine." Terry nodded.
"Ok. I'll ask more questions when I can think of them." I left and called Red to tell her I'd come tomorrow. Then I unpacked my stuff and set up my classroom.
