Erica forgot how much work a baby was along with how much your life changed when one was in the picture. Her daughter hadn’t been a baby for a while and Erica wasn’t really the best mom around. No, she was home at nights, but during the day she was on a different agenda that proved more important. Erica wished she had done things differently only she knew she couldn’t harp on her mistakes as a mother. Choices were made and she had to deal with the results even if they weren’t good ones. Coco was her second chance in a sense until the train sent the little back. Then again part of her was wondering if these babies were stuck here forever. Only thing Erica had to keep missing out on was her work out because Coco had other things in mind like keeping Erica on her toes. At least, Coco slept through the night for the most part, which worked out for Erica. At least no one from her world was here or they would have been making comments to her where she would probably pop one in the face with her fist. Erica had left the room with the little one and was now sitting on the floor of the snack kitchen with Coco in front of her. While the baby played with a few toys, Erica was snacking on a bag of chips before placing the bag on the top of the counter that she was leaning against. “Time for your favorite game,” she commented to Coco who was looking at her. Pulling her legs up so Erica was sitting Indian style as she covered her face before starting up a game of peek-a-boo. Coco started to smile and laugh, which was her usually reaction to this game and that was the only reason that Erica kept playing it with her. Part of her wasn’t really wanting people to walk in because this was a different side to her than no one saw. Normally, it was hardcore bitch, but kids brought out a different side to Erica. On the other hand, she didn’t give a shit if anyone saw or not. |
