Classification

Chapter 2

Melody P.O.V

     We are currently waiting for family members to arrive because every classification my family likes to throw a party to celebrate. I'm not very excited about the party. I'll be the only regressor in a house full of caregivers.

       By the time I was finished getting ready, I heard a ringing at the door.

"Honey, come down everyone is here." My mom yelled upstairs. I looked in the mirror making sure I looked okay and took two deep breaths in before I made my way downstairs.

      Immediately stepping into the living room all eyes were on me. I did not know what to do so I stood there awkwardly. My grandmother on my mom's side was the first one to speak up.

"Well, are you going to come hug your grandparents sweetheart?" she asked with a slight chuckle.

     I made my way around the room hugging and saying hi to everyone. Of course, they all had to tell me they remember when I was little and how big I've gotten.

     We all sat around talking to one another. I mainly stayed quiet and remained either next to my mother or father. They were my two biggest comfort spaces right now. When I was away from either one of them even if they were in the same room as me if they were too far I felt scared like a little kid wanting to cry.

      I've never been that way but I guess I'm feeling the full effects now of getting my classification. I don't know when I'll ever slip.

"As lovely as catching up with everyone is, let's get to why we are all here. Mels classification." I hear my aunt Megan say.

    Just like that, all eyes were back on me. I curled up behind my mom, scared to tell everyone my classification.

"Come on, sweetheart tell everyone they won't judge you." My mom whispered to me trying to get me to speak. But I refused and shook my head pointing to her indicating I wanted her to tell them. She simply sighed and complied saying okay.

"As you all can tell, Mels is a little shy to tell you her classification. I will be telling you guys for her." My mom then picks me up sitting me on her lap facing me towards everyone. "Mels is a regressor. A very small one too. Her age is around 2 years old."

     There was silence for a moment making me want to shrink into my mom further. But soon there were many compliments on how cute I was and how I was just a baby. It all made me blush. But I was also relieved everyone was so kind about it.

"And before you all ask no she has not slipped yet. And no I do not know when we will start taking her to meet-ups. Maybe when she's more comfortable with her classification." My mom continued to explain.

     By this time I had been passed around the whole room so everyone could get a chance to hold me. It felt nice honestly. I loved it until I started to feel hungry and now I was a little cranky. I went back over to my mom pulling on her arm to get attention but she kept speaking, ignoring me and I didn't like that so I yanked harder which surely got her attention but not for the reason I wanted.

"Little girl, we do NOT pull on people like that what has gotten into you." My mom scolded me and for some reason, all I could think to do was cry. All I wanted was to eat and now I'm getting scolded.

     Dad came over and picked me bouncing me until my crying calmed down.

"What's wrong sweetpea?"

"I'm hungry and mommy scolded me and I just wanted to ask for something to eat," I tell him through sniffles

"You have to use your words, sweetpea. You can't yank on people's arms you can hurt them. You don't want to hurt mommy do you?" I shake my head not wanting to hurt mommy. "Let's go apologize to mommy."

      We walked back over to mommy, dad tapped her shoulder to get her attention. I got down from his hold and said sorry to mommy. She forgave me and told me not to do that anymore and I nodded my head.

"I'm still hungry." I whine.

"Well let's see what's in the bag that we got from the doctor."

     Mommy walked me over to the bags showing me all the baby food and baby fruit and there were bottles. Mommy showed me all the options I had and I decided on a bottle and some baby fruit apples.

     I ate all my fruit getting it all over my face and having to get it cleaned when I was done. By the time I was halfway done with my bottle, I was falling asleep in my mother's arms.
