I carry Copeland back to the bus and notice Jaime smiling and looking at us. "You two look so cute, let me take a picture" he says laughing and I roll my eyes. I pose in front of the camera with a sassy look on my face. She looks at me and giggles copying me. He rolls his eyes and pulls out his phone, taking a picture.
We get to the bus and Jaime makes her some chicken nuggets and mac&cheese while I give her a bath. "I waint moure boobles" Copeland whines splashing me. "No no, don't splash Cope" I say sternly, not wanting to teach her that bad manners are ok. "Ow kay" she says happily. After her bath I change Copeland into her pajamas and carry her out of the bathroom part of the bus and into the kitchen area.
Copeland sees the food and runs out of my arms and over to it. Jaime laughs and gives her the food. Copeland eats it and then we go to put her to bed. "I wan a tory" she whines. "Ok there once was an angel and she lived on earth" Jaime starts and I look at him wanting to hear the story. "She walked among normal people and no one could tell that she was an angel, because nobody knew what to look for" he says sounding serious.
"How can you tell?" I ask and at the same time Copeland asks, "waht dow yo lerk fohr?" Causing Jaime to laugh. "Well angels have different eyes than anyone else, and they have lines on their arms, stomachs, and thighs. God's favorite angels have them on all three." He says and I instantly know where this is going.
"But this angel, like many others wanted to go back to heaven. Angels sometimes can't ever be happy on earth so they make bad decisions to go back to heaven. But this angel was needed on Earth, angels are sent here to bring joy to the world, if she left everyone would be sad and miss her. She tried multiple times to go back to heaven but her friends stopped her, the world needed her. Eventually all angels learn to be happy on earth, and that's that happened." He says and I notice that Copeland's asleep.
"Lets go into the living room, angel." He says and I nod, not even knowing what to say. I walk into the living room area and sit on the couch. "I'm sorry" he says quietly and I look up. "Why are you sorry? I'm the one that's a total selfish bitch" I answer. "You are not a selfish bitch!" he says hugging me, "And I'm sorry that I was rude to you before I knew the truth." After that it's my turn to hug him. "It's not your fault, I was stupid enough to say exactly what she wanted so that she could turn you against me" I reply.
"Don't blame yourself, I fell for her trick too" he points out and I nod in agreement.
