Has Emily started to grow a bit more, and not having any family photos, Sandra went to her social media to then talk to a friend who had a camera and another who did lighting to set something up.
Being to the futon, Sandra turned her head to watch Diego come home from work to watch him come in to sit next to her to sign to wrap his arms about himself to eye over the television to ignore Emily who was to the ground playing to ignore Sandra for a moment to then turn his head to look over her.
"Where's my dinner?"
"Microwave."
Diego rolled his eyes to then get up to go to it.
"Really wish this was a hot meal, I worked very hard today."
"Well you told me you would be home about two hours ago, that's when I started it so...."
"Whatever."
Sandra signed to then place her phone to get pocket to then go to the ground to start to play with Emily, Diego then came back after he heated up his food to then grab the remote that was to the futon to then turn the channel to watch something Emily really shouldn't.
Sandra rolled her eyes to then look down.
"So I did something today."
"What's that?"
"Thought we could do some family pictures."
"Who's going to pay for this?"
"Well since I don't have a job...."
"You know what Sandra, we can always switch, you go she get a hard working job like me and I can be here to watch Emily and do nothing all day!"
Sandra gritted her teeth to then go to Emily who started to cry over Diego's tone, Diego then placed the plate to the side to then stomp himself upstairs. Sandra watched him go up to Bob Emily up and down until she settled to then grab the remote to place it to some music to settle Emily down, once she did that Emily started to play like nothing happened.
Has the night went on, Diego never did came back down, Sandra eventually cleaned up the whole kitchen and living room by herself like she did every single day to then go upstairs to get Emily ready for bed to place her to her crib to go into her bedroom to eye over Diego who was to his back has he had his phone over his face to be watching some video.
Sandra rolled her eyes to then get into bed after she changed into her pajamas to lay to her side with a face, she gulped has she felt the bed move to feel Diego place his arm about her.
"Sorry about earlier. I'm just tired."
"I know."
"So you want to do family pictures?"
"Thought it would be nice."
"How much?"
"It would be done by my friends on social media, they just want the experience so free."
"Okay, then.... What are you going to give to me?"
Sandra squeezed her eyes tightly shut has she knew what Diego wanted for this.
A week later, they were to a store for Sandra to find clothes for them, to find something almost immediately for Emily to then look about something for her, going about she was to the clothes to then move back to eye over Diego who was to the tools with Emily to the cart for Sandra to then move back to eye about the racks.
What can I get for this? Thinking a dress, it is summer time. Sandra then grabbed a short green dress to look it over to smile to then go about to place it to the cart, Diego looked to what Sandra gathered for them to shrug to then keeping looking at the tools.
"What?"
"Seems pretty old."
"Looks nice."
"Okay then."
Sandra signed has she heard Diego's tone to then make a face has something came into her mind.
"Um....I was also thinking."
"About?"
"How about we ask your family to be in the pictures? Your mom, step dad, brother and sister?"
"I can ask. After we're done here let's go over there."
Sandra nodded .
"Okay."
After they were done shopping they all went over for Diego to talk to his mother in Spanish for it all to be settled. Has the next week started to come about Sandra had gotten something to the store, Sandra liked to dye her hair, for the picture she wanted to do something a bit different.
Once done, she looked herself over with a smile to then go about to Emily's room has she was crying given she just woke up from her nap to eye over her mother.
Sandra smiled and wide.
"Does mother look good?"
Emily cooed to reach her arms up for Sandra to gently take her out to go downstairs for Diego to be to the futon to eye over said to make a face, Sandra stopped to eye over him.
'what?"
"Why did you go red? That's a..... Bad color. Why not stay blonde? I don't like red heads."
Sandra gritted her teeth to sway a bit back and forth with Emily.
"Wanted to try something different."
"Well it looks bad. I really don't like women with red hair, you should have stayed blonde. Not really going to like these photos."
Sandra rolled her eyes to then go to place Emily in her car seat to then go out the door while tears weld up in her eyes.
Soon Diego followed to get into the driver's side for Sandra to place her hand to her head to look out the window has they made there what to the shoot.
"I hate when you do that."
Sandra furrowed her brow confused to turn her head to eye over him.
"What?"
"When you sulk like that. So childish."
Sandra made a hard face to look back out the window to wish this photoshoot wasn't happening, however it did with his family where Sandra had to pretend to be happy, however it was something she had to do almost every day given she was always around Diego's family more then her own or when she was inside the house in isolation.
