Janis' POV
"Janis? There's been a... thing," Riker sighed. "Your sister went out for diapers and formula two days ago and still hasn't returned."
"What?" I exclaimed into my phone.
"Honey, I just used the rest of my formula here. I'm down to two diapers that I found in the diaper bag. Can you run to the store for me and pick some up?"
"Why don't you take Molly to the store?" I asked.
"I would, but I don't have a car or seat," Riker said.
"Where's your car?" I asked.
"Joslyn has it," Riker explained.
"Joslyn left you with Molly two days ago, and she still hasn't come home?"
"No, I don't know where she is," He said.
"Yeah, I'll come over, but I don't know what Molly uses, so why don't you go to the store, and I'll stay with Molly," I said.
"All right, thanks, Janis."
An hour later, I walked around the house holding Molly.
She was crying.
Usually, she calmed down for me, but I was pretty sure she was hungry.
I couldn't believe Joslyn had taken off.
I hoped she wasn't dead somewhere.
Molly quieted down for a few seconds.
I sighed.
Finally, I could hear myself think.
Maybe she would fall asleep.
I glanced down at the baby in my arms; her eyes were closed.
Poor baby, she's exhausted and starving.
My blood boiled.
How irresponsible could my sister get?
I sat down in the rocker.
Molly fussed but stopped once I started rocking.
I was relieved she fell asleep and confident she'd stay asleep until Riker returned.
I smiled at my niece.
She was so beautiful, with a head full of soft brown hair.
Her eyes looked blue, and I thought they would stay blue.
I saw a mixture of all of us in her, but I also saw my mom.
Uncle Tristan bought over a picture of Mom when Molly was born; it was like they were twins.
It amazed me how DNA worked through the years, tying us together.
The doorbell rang.
Molly's eyes popped open, and her mouth formed a large O before she let out an ear-piercing wail.
"Dammit!" I swore, getting up.
Molly started crying.
Cooper ran around the house like his ass was on fire, and the goddamn doorbell rang again.
"I'm coming!" I yelled, causing Molly to scream louder.
I pulled the door open.
Wesley stood on the step before me in tight blue jeans that hugged his hips and legs and a navy tee shirt.
I couldn't believe my eyes.
Wesley looked better than I remembered.
"Janis?" He asked, shocked.
