Unexpected

Chapter IX: A Million Times Yes

Josie's P.O.V

It's been 2 hours and Kayley hadn't stopped searching the room. Every time I tried to ask her what she was looking for she would just tell me it was her present. Even when I tried to tell her to describe it to me so I could help her look for it, she just looked at me as if I was suppose to know what it was. She sure has Hope's attitude thats for certain.

"Mommy my gift was stolen" she whimper trying to turn the room upside down.

"Okay, okay calm down."

"Calm down... You want me to calm down" she said in a panic. 

"Uh... yes?" I asked more of a questions.

"It's my gift" she says. "Someone stole it"

"What's the gift" I try to get her to tell me once more. "I'll help you find it but I need to know what you are looking for"

"My paper book" she said.

"Paper book?" I raised a brow. She let out a sigh. Such a stressful 4 year old.

"My paper book mama got me for my birthday"

"You mean like story book? I haven't seen you read a book"

"I don't read it. I do what mama do. Day by day make pictures of my parade float"

"What parade are you in?"

"Im not in a parade. I am the parade" she says proudly.

"What did your parents do to you?"

"Mommy" she runs in between my legs as I squatted down to her. She wrapped one arm around my shoulder leaning close to me. "There's a thief"

"Baby no one stole your paper book. No one has been in this room except us"

"Maybe it was andi"

"Your little sister can barley talk"

"Hmmm" she brought a finger to her chin trying to think of more ideas. "Aliens" she shrugged.  

"I promise to look for it later. Right now we have a game to get ready for."

"Games" that snapped her out of her thoughts. "I like games. What game. Can I play?" she asked question after question. I tried to answer as much as I could but they were endless.

She asked about the game when I gave her a bath, when a dressed her, even when we started eating breakfast.

"Kayley don't talk with you full" I scolded her. She covers her mouth with her hand but still asked questions about the game. "Just because you cover your mouth doesn't make it any better" I sigh.

"Morning Josie, Baby Dracula" lizzie said cheerfully giving me a smile and a kiss on top of Kayleys head. She sat down next to her and pinched her cheek just a bit, but Kayley didn't seem to mind.

"Look at this cute baby stallions uniform I bought the girls. They will look so cute wearing it during our game" Placing her bag on the table, she took out a yellow jersey and blue shorts. "Okay kid, mikaelson or Saltzman" she said holding two jerseys with the different last name. Lizzie was extending the satlzman one further out than the other one.

"Mikaelson" she pointed to the other jersey.

"Mikaelson doesn't even play soccer" lizzie looked between Kayley and I.

"Well what did you expect her to pick when she knows her own last name"

"That she'd cheer for her aunt lizzie. I knew I should have only gotten her the Saltzman one. Curse Mg for making this one" lizzie pouted mumbling under her breath. "I'll give you 20$ if you wear this one" she handed her the Saltzman one.
