Keeping up with... Kamryn?

Chapter 12

Suddenly, the whole room stopped.

Kris set down her glass of wine, Kylie looked up from her phone in the other room, and Kim looked shocked. I awkwardly looked around at the 3 pairs of brown eyes staring me down.

"Uh, sure! If you want to?" Kim said.

I nodded and walked over to the door where North sat. "Hey North..." I smiled, bending down.

I held out my arms and North eagerly began to crawl towards me with a smile on her face. Kim smiled and said, "She only acts like that around me... she doesn't even smile around Kanye!"

I smiled, picking her up into my arms. North leaned back and smiled at me.

"Wow." Kim breathed.

I looked over and said "What?"

"She absolutely loves you..." Kim smiled. I smiled as well as I looked back at the baby in my arms.
"Now I have to have you as a sitter. Are you available tomorrow?"

I looked at Kris nervously, "Uh, yeah, I think we can work something out..." I trailed off and turned to walk outside before I was faced with any more questions from her.

I carried North out on the patio and found my way to a patio/lounge chair.

I set her on my lap and laid back, soaking in the sun. It became so hot that I had to take the Victoria Secret sweatshirt off, revealing just a plain white, fitting tank top.

North began to squeal and I looked up. A butterfly landed on her arm and I laughed at her reaction. She was a gorgeous baby.... With quite a personality for a pre-toddler.

"Northy! What is that?" I laughed, leaning down to her level.

I scooped the butterfly up in my hands and she relaxed. I set it on my finger and the butterfly settled down.

North looked at the creature ever so closely, with such curiousity in her big brown eyes.

The butterfly flew away and I laughed. "North, you like me, right?" I couldn't believe I was asking a baby that.

I didn't get a verbal response. "Well, I don't know what I was expecting." I laughed at myself after the baby didn't answer me. "You are used to this life already and you are, what, not even 2? I don't have the slightest idea how to live this life. You think you can help me out?" I grinned.

I smiled at North and she smiled back up at me, screaming in laughter.

"I'll take that as a yes." I smiled.
