halle cried silently in her hands, she could hear her daughter crying from across the hall but her mind wouldn't allow her body to get up to tend to her chloe grabbed her teary eyed niece out the crib, "shhh i gotcha melody". she softly cooed putting her gently on the changing table removing her wet diaper.
halle rolled over in the bed eyeing the unopened body of wine, if only she wasn't breastfeeding a knock on her door made her hide the alcohol bottle under the bed, "sissy are you woke?". chloe asked peaking inside gazing at her little sister who flashed a small smile her way "h-hey sissy i am".
her eyes instinctively looked towards melody who lay quietly in her auntie's arms "look who came to see you". chloe excitedly cooed turning a wide awake melody towards her.
halle forced a smile onto her face as chloe made her way over towards the bed taking a seat beside her younger sister "you want to hold her?". chloe asked hoping she'd say yes, halle nervously ran her hands over her legs. "i- girls come get breakfast it's ready and wake branson up". courtney unintentionally cut halle off making her sigh in relief.
chloe continued to eye her sister in sadness she really wanted her to bond with her niece but it was evident something was going on with her "maybe later i'm gonna go wake up branson up". halle softly said sliding out the bed, chloe turned melody towards her "she'll come around soon cutie, i'll make sure of it".

halle gagged loudly alerting her family who eyed her in concern "i'm fine just not very hungry". she softly said forcing the toast to not come up, chloe paused her eating dropping her fork before turning melody towards halle who raised an eyebrow at her sister who flashed a petty smile.
"mommy why won't you hold me?". chloe mimicked a small child's voice glancing at halle who shoulders dropped in sadness "mommy will you feed me i'm very hungry". she said cupping melody's cheeks.
"chloe that's enough". courtney warned her daughter, "i just want you to love me i love you mommy". halle slammed her glass onto the table startling melody who's eyes welled with tears.
melody began crying loudly making halle's ears ring, "will you feed me mommy?". halle cut her eyes at her sister who stood up before taking a seat beside her sister who avoided eye contact with her daughter who whimpered.
chloe set melody in halle's lap making her whimpers crease, "see she just wants her mommy to hold her".
halle grabbed her daughter by her underarms before standing up supporting her head "chloe take her!". she pleaded gazing into her sister's heated eyes "no you can hold her for more than an hour every day".
