Her Unbroken Promise

Chapter 3

Nathan's POV

   I coo softly and naw on mommy's finger. The coldness feels good. "I think I'm raising a shark instead of a baby," mommy tells me and I stop biting briefly to look at her in curiosity.

Shark? "What is it, baby?" Mommy questions as she looks at me with a soft look. I frown slightly and bite down on her finger again to see her reaction.

    I stopped then looked at her again. Mommy tilts her head at me in confusion. 'What you doing?' Natalie babbles loudly and I turn my head towards her letting go of mommy's finger.

   'Finding out what shark means?' I babble back with my face scrunched up. She makes a noise and turns to Auntie Kate who's watching our interaction in interest.

   I face mommy again and grab her hand to bite into it again with a playful growl then stopped to look at her with my eyebrows furrowed. I babble loudly and bite down once.

   "What are you trying to tell me, baby girl? Hmm, you hungry?" Mommy asks rubbing her other hand down my cheek softly.

I growl in frustration and angrily babble to her. "Did she just growl at you? Oh she's pissed at you," Auntie Kate says with a small laugh making mommy chuckle softly.

I hear a weird sound then Auntie Kate whining and I turn my head finding grandma, grandpa, and Auntie Rina home.

  My eyes light up at the sight of grandma. Maybe she will tell me what shark means. "What did I tell you about that kind of language around the children, Kate?" Grandma scolds auntie Kate who gives her a sorry look.

Sissy and I start laughing at her. Our family turns to us and immediately every single one of their expressions soften.

Auntie Kate gasp playfully, "are you two laughing at little ole me? Oh that does it! Tickle monster attack!"

She begins tickling my neck and I squeal out a laugh as I squirm in mommy's arms. She stops and does it to sissy who screams out laughing as I continue giggling.

   "They're very advanced for their age," Grandpa comments with a smile and takes a seat on a chair in the corner.

I babble happily and grab onto mommy's hand then bit onto her thumb. "This one enjoys making mommy a teething ring," she says in a soft voice and I giggle around her thumb.

   "Well at least she's not mad at you anymore," Auntie Kate comments with a chuckle and mommy hums softly.

   Auntie Rina came to sit down next to mommy. "Why was she mad at you?" She asks grazing my cheek with her finger.

   "I don't know. I think she was trying to tell me something but I didn't understand," mommy answers with a shrug.

   I spit out her thumb and coo happily when grandma comes over. "May I, sweetheart?" She softly asks mommy and I begin bouncing in mommy's lap excitedly.

   Mommy chuckles softly and lifts me up then hands me over. "Of course. Someone is very excited to have grandma carrying her," she comments planting a soft kiss on my head.

   I squeal happily and babble to grandma who smiles at me softly. "Hey there precious. You and your sister are so beautiful. Oh yes you are," grandma tells me in a baby voice making me give her our signature baby giggle.

   'Quick ask her what shark means' Natalie babbles loudly drawing my attention and I coo in understanding.

  'Oh yeah. I forgot' I babble in response and turn back to grandma who's watching the two of us 'talk' with a soft smile.
