Song of the day :-

Don't Wait by Neck Deep ft. Sam Carter from Architects

12 months later (soz lots of time skip)

Chelsea is 2 years old. She can now talk some simple sentences but not so fluent of course. For the past months, Oliver, Natalie and Bea had been taking turn to take care of Chels. Some days, she would sleep at Oliver's house and then Nat's house then Bea's house. It seems like Chelsea could not be separated from the 3 of them.

It's finally Bea's turn to take care of Chelsea which is the day she has been waiting for. It has just been a week without Chelsea but it felt like a month or even a year.

She puts on a plain white blouse, knee-length jeans and flat shoes. Her blonde hair is let to fall nicely on her shoulder. Then, she climbs into her Honda Accord with Chelsea at the passenger seat, nicely dressed as usual.

"Kids cafe?" Chelsea asked. Her voice is so so cute that Bea cannot help but smile whenever she says something.

"Yes, my dear." Bea answered.

Kids cafe has always been Chelsea's favourite place to go. It's like a cafe but with a big playground where children can play while the adults can keep an eye and eat at the same time. It's really good for the children around her age to build communication skills as they would be playing there together.

The car drive is so loud with Chelsea that is babbling non-stop and Bea that laughs every time her granddaughter says something that she can barely understand. Oh she loves this little kid so much. Bea's life is no longer lonely like before with her presence.

"We're here! Let's go." Bea said as soon as she parked her car. The two of them walk hand by hand into the kids cafe.

As they enter the cafe, Chelsea immediately runs to the playground. Bea just smiles at the sight.

She orders some food and drinks and sits at the table near the big slide. The colourful play area and the sound of children's laugh & scream make Bea feels calm. She loves kids so much.

Every day she would reminisce the old memories when Natalie was younger, when Natalie would always be with her, when life was hard and her daughter was her only company. Natalie was her strength to keep going.

"Nan look!" Chelsea shouted as she goes down the big slide.

"Wow! You're so brave!" Bea complimented while clapping her hands. Chelsea smiles widely then continue playing with the other children.

On the other hand, Bea finished her food and walks to the playground to feed Chelsea. It is extremely hard to make Chelsea eat.

She is walking fine past the pink bench but suddenly,

she fainted.
