Indies POV
I wake up to the sound of a baby crying. "Liberty, come on!" I whisper shout to myself. I get up and go to the makeshift nursery in the corner of my room. She needs a diaper change. A minute later, Alesa walks into the room. "Do you need any help?" she offers. "No thanks, I've got this." How does she make it look so easy?
"Wake up, wake up" some one is gently shaking my shoulder. "Huh-what" I zip. "You fell asleep again, are you okay?" asks Barney. I nod. "Just wonering, that's the 3rd time today!"
" No I'm okay, Libbys just been waking me up, that's all" I yawn. "Then, you gos home maybe?" he says as ridiculously as possible. I laugh. "Well, I think I'm good for now! Who would help you guys out?" "I guess you're right. Again."
Just then I hear liberty crying. She must have woken up too. "Sorry barney, have to take this call!" I joke. He ruffles my hair "catch you later." he says, as he walks down the hall. I say bye as well as I walk in the other direction towards the kitchen where she is in her carseat.
It really isn't easy.
