October.
Danny is working on a big case at work so he has been out of the house quite a bit. This morning Jessica has to go over to the studio to pick out costumes for an upcoming show.
"You get to go to work with mommy today, Marley Moo!"
"Mmmmmm!" Marlowe moans.
"MmmmAAMmmmAAA!" Jessica says. "Can you say it?"
Marlowe stops babbling and opens and closes her hands towards Jessica's chest.
"You're hungry already?! Jesus, you must be going through a growth spurt."
"Ahhh!" Marlowe cries.
"Not really into conversation this morning, I see."

"Jessica! You brought the baby!"
"I did! Dada had to go into work today so we're having a girl's day."
"Woo! Wow, she's getting so big. How old is she?"
"Eight months."
"Yay! Only sixteen more months until her first dance class!"
"We're counting down the days!" Jessica bounces the baby on her hip.
Marlowe looks up to her mother and giggles. Jessica kisses her chubby cheek through her mask and walks into the office.
"She is the perfect mix of you and your boyfriend."
"Thank you! We think so too."
Marlowe has her daddy's hair, and eyes, and her mommy's everything else.
"I really like this one.. I think I'm going to use this one for ballet five."
Marlowe suddenly slaps her hands on the catalog and spits.
Jessica gasps and covers the baby's mouth. "Marlowe, No! Not in these times."
Jessica's coworker laughs. "Jessica, she's fine!"
Marlowe laughs and does it again.
"I think she wants you to choose that costume."
"Yeah."
Marlowe then looks up to her mother with a big toothless smile.
"You are something else, Marley Moo!"

Later that evening.
"Dada's home!"
"Hello ladies! I'll be right there, let me wash my hands."
"Ahhh! Ahhh!" Marlowe kicks her legs with excitement as Jessica walks her to Danny.
"Aw she's so happy to see you, Danny!"
"I'm so excited to see you too, Moo Moo!"
Danny takes her and kisses her chubby cheek. Marlowe Grabs his cheeks and places her tongue on his nose.
"Oh no!" Jessica laughs.
"Thanks Marley girl." Danny wipes his nose.
"Okay Moo, come with me so daddy can change before dinner."
"AH!" She screams and reaches for Danny.
"I'll be back, love. Go with mama."
"She's had it with me." Jessica laughs as Marlowe sobs.
"He will be right back, I promise you."
A few minutes later Danny walks into the kitchen wearing grey sweatpants and a t-shirt.
