Awwww wook at the wittle baby," Annie cooed, peeking into the bassinet with a big smile as the tiny bundle stared up at her with wide, curious eyes.
Emma grinned with pride, folding her arms. "Aunt Suzie asked me to look after him. Isn't he just the sweetest?"
Mia leaned in, inspecting the little one with a skeptical expression. "Let's just hope this one isn't evil."
Emma let out a nervous laugh. "Oh, I wouldn't think so. I mean, look! He likes your cat."
Mia glanced over to where Blackie was perched on the cabinet, all black fur and unamused green eyes. "But does my cat like the baby?" she asked, noticing how Blackie was practically a shadow against the cabinet, his tail flicking irritably.
Blackie uncurled from his loaf position and sighed dramatically. "No. I hate that thing."
Mia rolled her eyes with a laugh. "Oh, come on, Blackie. Babies aren't that bad!"
Blackie shot her a glare, his green eyes narrowing. "I've been your cat since you were a baby," he replied, sounding deeply offended. "Remember?"
Mia chuckled. "Right, right."
She then turned back to little Bob, who was gurgling happily in the bassinet, and scooped him up in her arms. "So, should we take Bobby here on a high-speed drive?"
Annie and Emma's heads snapped toward her, eyes wide.
"No!" they said in unison.
Mia looked down at Bob, who had burst into giggles, his chubby little hands reaching out toward her. She raised an eyebrow with a mischievous grin. "Well, he agrees."
Emma groaned, grabbing Mia's arm. "Mia, he doesn't know what he's agreeing to! He's a baby!"
But Mia was already out the door with little Bob in tow, leaving Annie and Emma in a cloud of dust.
Emma slapped her forehead. "What on earth is she going to do with my nephew?"
Annie shrugged, fighting back a smile. "If I know Mia, she'll probably just make him her 'co-pilot' and pretend they're on some wild adventure."
Emma sighed, pacing in worry. "Let's just hope her 'adventure' is a little gentler than her usual."
Meanwhile, Mia was happily showing Bob all the dashboard controls in her car. She cradled him with one arm, showing him the wheel with the other. Bob cooed and grabbed at the air, completely thrilled by all the flashing lights and buttons.
"See, Bob?" Mia said, pointing to the speedometer. "That's where all the magic happens. But don't tell your mom or Aunt Emma."
Bob squealed, as if in total agreement.
Mia grinned. "Aww, I think we're going to make a great team, kid."
As soon as Mia decided to take her little "co-pilot" on a high-speed joyride, she strapped baby Bob into the car seat beside her, his little face lighting up in delight. He squealed and kicked his legs, eyes bright with anticipation, even though he probably had no idea what was in store.
"Alright, Bobby," Mia grinned, hands gripping the steering wheel. "You ready for the ride of your life?"
From the back seat, Blackie let out a low, miserable growl, ears flat against his head. "I am NOT ready for this. Mia, I did NOT sign up to be in a roller-coaster horror movie!"
