WHO Ella McCree & Riddick WHAT Random Run In WHEN Friday morning WHERE The Park WARNINGS I mean, it's Riddick. But it's also Ella. STATUS Closed | Incomplete
After discovering she was pregnant, Ella was doing her best to not do too much each day. She'd cut back on her days at the bakery and that allowed her to take more time for herself even while she was tending to her son. With the weather starting to improve, it made going out for walks and spending the morning in the park all the more enjoyable. She always packed a nice variety of snacks for them to enjoy so that it wouldn't be a problem if they lost track of time. She just loved being out of doors and wanted Maximilian to feel comfortable running around, laughing and chasing whatever caught his eye.
She loved to encourage him to explore and he was much more mobile these days. It did sometimes backfire, as Ella watched him toddling around from her seat near to his stroller. His meandering took him toward an unfamiliar man and she scrambled to her feet to catch him. "Max, no," she called as she hurried to catch him. "Leave the nice man alone, okay? I don't think he'd like to see your leaves."
Max looked from her to the man and then held up a fist full of leaves as if to prove his mother wrong. "Leafs!"
