Stealing Innocence

Ch. Nineteen

December 5th, 2011

Ashlynn woke up early the next morning with Bryce and they made cookies because Ashlynn was craving the chocolate chip in it. The smell ended up waking up the people in the house and soon everyone was in the kitchen asking for a cookie, including her parents.

Ashlynn went to eat some of the raw cookie dough but Cameron snatched it out of her hand, “You can't eat that it could get the baby sick, there’s raw egg in that!” Ashlynn laughed and so did her mom.

“I had the same craving when i was pregnant with Ashlynn,” her mom spoke up in her quiet soft voice, “Wait till the cookies are cooked, then you can have as many as you want,” Ashlynn couldn't wait she was glad she could eat now, she wasn't having morning sickness anymore. She felt like she should have realized that she was pregnant because she had it for the past two months. She thought it was just acid in her stomach.

Ashlynn took the cookies out of the oven and put a new batch in. once the first batch cooled a little bit Ashlynn broke a cookie in half watching the chocolate chip ooze between the two halves of the soft cookie and she took a bite. It was like an explosion of deliciousness in her mouth, the cookie was a perfect softness. It wasn't so soft it broke off in your hand but it was still chewy like a cookie should be. The cookie warmed her belly nicely scaring off the chill that had followed her all morning.

“Ashlynn this cookie is awesome!” Cameron was grinning at her.

“Bryce taught me how to make them.” Bryce began bowing like it was the best performance ever in his lifetime. Ashlynn laughed at him and knocked him over. Once he was on the ground she sat on his back so he was stuck face down on the carpet and laughed until it hurt.
