I wake up the next morning and go down stairs. I don't see anyone else, I was the first one up. Mom and Mama were still sleeping, Sloane starts crying. I go back upstairs and go into her room, I pick her up. I bounce her up and down gently to help calm her down. She calms down and looks at me. I smile, "Hi little one. Did you sleep good?" I say.

She smile and plays with my finger. I leave the room with her still in my arms and go back downstairs. I lay her on the floor in the living room, on a blanket. I surround her with pillows so she's in a little square. I go into the kitchen and start making baby food for her. I finish making her food and go back into the living room.

"Are you hungry?" I ask. I pick her up, I hold her as I feed her. I watch the recap of the soccer game when USA played Canada Sloane finishes eating and I burp her as I continue watching the game. Afterwards I lay on the couch and lay Sloane on my chest, I play with her hair and run my fingers through her hair.

Sloane eventually falls asleep on my chest. I wrap an arm around her small body securing her so she doesn't fall. I check the time on my phone.

9:30 am

I mess around on my phone as the game continues playing in the tv. 30 minutes go by mom and momma come down stairs, they smile when they see me and Sloane.

"You you want me to take her off you?" Mom asks.

"No she's okay. I fed her and burped her already." I say.

"Thank you for helping out kiddo." Momma says.

"She was crying earlier. So I went upstairs to get her, it's all good. It's not a problem. You guys deserve a break, take the day off. Go have some fun, take mama out in a date. Buy her a nice fancy dinner, take her for a walk on the beach, maybe take her to the movies afterwards. I'll stay here with her and watch her, you guys go have fun." I say.

Mom and mama smile. "We might take you up on that offer." Mama says. I smile and nod.

"So I've been thinking...... and I might actually go to New York and help this person out." I say.

Mom and mama nod. "If this is what you want, then we are on board with it." Mama says.

I nod. "I won't be long. I'll be gone for a day maybe 2 days if that." I say.

"Just please be quick about this. Do what you gotta do and then come back home." Mama says.

"I will, I promise." I say.

My phone goes off letting me know I have a new notification. I grab my phone and check it and see I have a new text message.

Unknown number: meet me here (location) at 9 pm don't be late!

"Is there a faster way I can take to get to New York?" I ask.

Mom and mama both stand there thinking for a second. "Probably the subway." Mom says. Mama nods.

"Okay I'll have to get a ticket then. I have to be in New York by 9 pm tonight." I say.

Oh yeah I forgot to mention that we are 4 hours away from New York.

Mom makes us breakfast. We all sit down and eat breakfast, as Mama looks at different school in the area on her laptop.

"Do you want to go to a public school? Or do you want to go to a private school?" Mama asks.

"Public school. No private school I hate wearing fancy clothes." I say.

Mom smirks. Mama continues looking at the list of local schools in the area.
