"Gabby, no." Janet rushed to grab what Gabby was reaching for. "That's not safe." She sat it on her dresser and went back to folding clothes. She got through three items when she checked on Gabby and saw her reaching for something else. "Gabby." She went and grabbed it to move it. Gabby looked up at Janet. "No." She immediately started crying. Janet sighed and picked her up.
Gabby had recently started crawling and has been moving around to touch everything, which added to Janet's already stressful days with her. So Janet now spent her days with Gabby, trying to keep her from putting random things in her mouth while also doing her usual duties. "Sweetie, calm down." Gabby continued to cry.
Janet sat down with her in the bed and tried to calm her down, but it didn't work. "Shhh..." Janet rocked her and patted her back, but Gabby kept crying. Then she threw her body back and Janet almost dropped her. "Gabby. Why did you do that?" Gabby started screaming and kicking her legs. She moved her arms around and hit Janet's face multiple times.
Feeling herself getting irritated, Janet placed Gabby in her playpen and went back to what she was doing. Gabby pulled herself up and looked at Janet as she cried. "Janet, what's going on?" Toni rushed into the room. "Why she crying so much?" Gabby looked at Toni and she picked her up. Almost instantly, Gabby stopped crying and laid on Toni's shoulder.
"She was trying to grab things and put them in her mouth and I moved it from her." Toni looked at Gabby.
"Is that what you were doing? You trying to put things in your mouth? That's not good, princess." Gabby looked at Toni as she wiped her little tears. "You can't do that." Toni kissed her cheek. "Okay?" Gabby laid back onto Toni's shoulder.
Janet shook her head and finished folding the clothes. "I can't believe that. She did all the screaming with me, just for you to come in and give her two kisses and then she's fine."
"Well, you know how princesses are." Janet rolled her eyes. Toni went over to her and kissed her cheek before kissing her lips twice causing her to blush. "See, now you feel better too." Janet tried to straighten her face.
"No, I don't."
"Yes, you do. You're just trying to hide it." Janet looked at Toni. She tickled her neck causing Janet to laugh.
"Toni, stop it."
"See, I knew you felt better."
"Shut up." Janet moved the folded clothes to the dresser. " I just don't understand why she's been acting out on me, but will be sweet with you."
"Hey, I told you when she came out that I was her favorite." Janet looked at Toni.
"You get on my nerves." They laughed. Once Janet finished putting the clothes away, they sat on the couch and she took Gabby to feed her. Even though Gabby was almost seven months and could eat baby food, Janet still breastfed her.
Janet held her and they clocked through the tv as she ate. "So..." Toni started. "...how would you feel if I said that I had a special little present for you?"
"I would feel very happy. What is it?" Toni smirked. "Come on, what is it?"
"We're going on a trip for Christmas."
"What? I thought we were gonna have Gabby's first Christmas here?"
"We are, but on the night of Christmas, you and I will be flying out to a very special location that someone has said they've always wanted to go to." Janet sat up, but made sure not to mess with Gabby.
"Stop playing." Toni smiled. "Are you talking about what I think you're talking about?"
"Baby mamas, we will be in Anguilla." Janet wanted to scream, but stayed calm.
