Chapter 18
Daycare
September 1, 1998
"Dada?" Ceris' asked. She was in her carrier and wondering where we were going.
"We're going somewhere fun. You'll meet other babies and have new toys to play with." I told her.
"Ba..bas?" She repeated.
"Yeah, babies. You'll have lots of fun and you can tell me all about it later." I explained.
We got to the school's daycare and I nicely told Terry not to give other babies her bottles and toys. She agreed. I let Cerise met the other teacher's kids and she played with a girl in pink onesie. I left and cleaned my room up. Then I fully unpacked my suitcases in my dorm. It was about 1 when Terry called. Longer than I thought it would happen.
"Hello?" I asked.
"Um, Cerise woke up every other baby in the nursery." She yelled over the crying.
"I'm coming." I hung up and went to the daycare. And there she was, sitting in her crib and crying that she missed me. It stopped as soon as I picked her up. She wasn't allowed back until she was 2 years old. I called Red and told what happened. I'd get her an apartment and I'd visit them.
Cerise spent the rest of the day with me and I got less work done than I hoped. It was kinda Ceris' fault. Big, whiny baby. Then she smiled and I just couldn't be upset. Unhappy, but not upset. Red came and we got her a hotel room for the night. Grimm wasn't happy Cerise got kicked of daycare and Red was still caring for her, but you just try and stop me. Just tell the Big, Bad Wolf what he can't do. That's right, you don't want to. Cerise stayed with me. She slept in her carrier. It'd work for tonight.
