Paula was evil. Like completely evil. Nadia knew vampires who were hundreds of years old who had more soul that Baby Bear's mother. The only woman she could think of off the top of her head would could compete for Bitch of the Lifetime was Nadia's own mother. So yeah, there were some mommy issues involved for her here too.
Nadia looked over at Abbie playing with her Barbie's and the make-up. She'd adopted Gabe and his daughter as a surrogate family shortly after she'd started working at Dead Until Dark. She never had a chance to do stuff with her sister and her dad was a total bastard. It was nice to be included in a real family.
"Baby Bear needs a real momma," she said softly before realizing she'd spaced off. "Okay, enough seriousness." She shook herself off and was down on the floor next to Abbie. "Lady Gaga?" she asked the little girl. Which of course was a good place to start with making Barbies any fun at all.
