Baby Girls

"I'm leaving."

Bradley taps my arm. I look down at him.

"Yeah?" I ask.

In answer, he points to something. I follow his finger to the team that has just arrived.

Kyle sees me first.

"EMMA!" He screams. I hardly get time to grin before he's scooped me up like a feather. He's squeezing me so tightly and he starts to jump.

"Ow! Jesus Kyle!" I gasp, hitting his shoulder. He sets me down.

"Bradley! My man!" Bradley gets up and they shake hands.

Skylar pulls on Kyle's belt.

"You are?" She stomps her foot.

Kyle looks down at her and his eyes get huge, and he looks up at me, and then Bradley.

"You had twins?" He gasps, and then turns to Bradley. "You fuc-" I slam my hand over his mouth.

"Shut up." I hiss. "I work here, bastard."

He peels my hand off of him and frowns.

"This is what you do?" He asks, and then he shakes his head. "I don't see it."

"You'd have to be here to get it." I shrug.

"Emma!" Helen smiles, hugging me. "You look great! Oh wow, children!"

I smile. "Thanks Helen."

"Uh, Mrs. Scone?"

I whip around to face Ryan. "Yes?"

In answer, he points to the spot that I put Skylar in timeout at.

Aubrey is over there, her dress at her ankles, pissing. I smack Bradley's arm and point. He looks too.

"Aubrey!" he gasps.

So now she's naked pissing on her dress.

She continues to wipe with her dress, and then walks over to me.

"I peed." She says.

I don't even know how to deal with this. My jaw is slack. Bradley, on the other hand, is shaking with silent laughter.

If she sees Daddy laughing she will think it's okay to do it again.

"Walk away." I whisper. "Go over there."

He does, and I grab her bag.

"Aubrey, you can't go pee wherever you want. That is not okay."

"Sorry Mommy. I had to pee." She frowns.

"I understand that, but you could have told me and I would have found you a bathroom." I go digging through her bag for clothes.

There is none.

I go digging through Skylar's bag for clothes.

She doesn't have any either.

"Bradley." I call. He walks back over. "We don't have any clothes for her."

"What?" He asks. "What about Skylar's?"

I shake my head.

"There's a Baby's R Us across the street."

I sigh loudly and takes my scarf off. I wrap Aubrey in it from her thighs to her chest, and then scoop her up. "Watch the kids."

"Where going?" Skylar asks.

"The store."

"Too?" She asks.

"No." I say.

She starts throwing a tantrum.
