"It's okay baby girl, we shouldn't be here for long." Chloe said quietly, glancing down at Freyja as she stared up at her, fidgeting in her car seat. Chloe shot her a small smile before ringing the doorbell.
"Besides your Dad is coming to collect you in a bit." she told her, watching her baby closely as she grasped the straps on her car seat, smiling happily at her mother. Chloe jumped slightly as the front door opened and a young woman smiled at her.
"Are you Georgia?" Chloe asked tentatively, smiling at the woman when she nodded slowly.
"Hi, I'm Chloe, I'm here to do the makeup for you and your friends?" she said, offering her hand for Georgia to shake.
"Yes that's great, come on in." Georgia smiled, gesturing for Chloe to follow her. Chloe smiled, quickly hitching her makeup bag onto her shoulder and following her into the house. Her cheeks coloured as she walked into the living room and the other two women turned to stare at her.
"These are my sisters Sophie and Claire." Georgia told her.
"Hi." Chloe said shyly, gently placing Freyja's car seat onto the floor and kneeling beside her, quickly rummaging through her makeup bag.
"Do you ladies want to stick with your original makeup choices?" Chloe asked them, nodding slowly when the three of then nodded.
"You should go first Georgia, since it's your birthday event." Claire grinned. Georgia nodded, quickly picking up a chair and placing it in front of Chloe. Georgia glanced at Chloe for a moment as she began to apply her makeup, her eyes flickering to Freyja as she fidgeted in her car seat, quickly pulling her toy into her mouth.
"She's adorable." Georgia smiled, her eyes lighting up as she watched Chloe's baby.
"Thank you." Chloe smiled, glancing at Freyja for a moment, giggling to herself when Freyja smiled happily as soon as she locked eyes with her mother.
"How old is she?" Claire asked.
"Just turned fourteen weeks." Chloe answered, her brows furrowing in concentration.
"She's so tiny." Georgia breathed.
"She's always been a bit smaller than average." Chloe told them.
"Was she premature or something?" Sophie asked.
"No, she was only two weeks early, but I was quite a small baby too." Chloe said quickly.
"I'm sorry that I had to bring her along, but I didn't have anyone that could take care of her." she continued.
"But her Dad finishes work in an hour or so." she added, feeling slightly guilty that she'd had to bring her daughter along to her work. Even though she knew that Freyja was a good baby, she couldn't help but think that it looked unprofessional.
"You mean Lee?" Georgia asked, quickly turning to glance at her sisters, the three of them raising their eyebrows hopefully.
"Yes. He'll pick her up on his way home." Chloe explained, jumping when the three of them let out a shriek of excitement.
"What?" Chloe frowned.
"Lee is coming here!" Sophie exclaimed.
"To our house!" Claire piped up.
"Yes I guess so, only if that's okay though?" Chloe asked nervously.
"Are you kidding, of course it's okay!" Georgia shrieked. Chloe sighed to herself when Georgia moved and her makeup smudged. She quickly applied a wipe, desperately trying to remove the smudges.
