The head nurse Gretta followed Erica to the car making sure the car seat was securely fasten and  the baby was strapped in correctly. As soon as Erica took jaila from cyn and places her in the car seat she started screaming. Now they knew what there parents was talking about their genes being lethal. jaila was like a mini eiken. she bawled up her tiny fist and kicked her feet screaming loud. Erica was literally afraid of her daughter. No new born screamed so loud.  Erica held cyn in next to jaila who tried soothing her screaming daughter. once everyone was in Erica drove very fast but very cautious. As soon as she parked the car she jumped out and ran to get her baby out of the carseat.

Erica: its OK, don't cry princess.*kissing the still crying newborn cheeks*

Cyn: ahem

Erica: oops sorry babe* helping cyn up while rocking the baby on her shoulder.

Erica and cyn walked into the house for the first time as a family.unknown to them, Erica mom took a pic of them, with cyn holding on to Erica waist, with Erica arm around her waist supporting her as they walked up the drive. Once they entered Erica led them up to the bedroom and cyn mom followed helping cyn take a bath and putting on soft bed clothes with fuzzy socks. once cyn was in bed, Erica handed the baby to her while she went to get her bath water. Erica came back with the basin and got a clean onzie, along with pampers, powder, lotion.
