Amelia

Chapter 16

"Charlie!" Amelia yells once we make it on set. She runs over to Odette who is holding her daughter. Odette sets Charlie down and Amelia gives Charlie a hug. I walk over by them holding Leah's hand with Chris by my side.

"Hey Odette." I say giving her a hug.

"Hey Melissa, who's this?" Odette asks noticing Leah.

"This is Leah. She's my friends daughter." I say.

"Well, hi there Leah. I'm Odette." Odette says kneeling down to Leah's height. Leah smiles at Odette and says hi.

"She's adorable." Odette says standing up. I smile and her and look over at Amelia and Charlie. They had somehow found some sidewalk chalk and were drawing with it.

"Can you watch Leah and Amy? I'll be right back." I ask Odette.

"Of course, I have to go in and film with Emma in like a half an hour." Odette says. I nod and tell Leah to go play with Amelia. She hesitates a little before starting to walk over. I thank Odette before starting to walk towards Chris's trailer. I haven't seen him in awhile so I just want to check up on them. I knock on Chris's trailer door. Without hearing any noises, I begin to worry. Where would they be? I slowly open his door and walk in. I smile at what I see. Chris was fast asleep on his couch. I carefully slip out of the trailer and start walking back over to Amelia and Leah.

"How's this?"I ask Chris holding up a white shirt with black and grey trees on it. We had ended filming early today so we decided to go out and get Leah some new clothes.

"I like it. With these pants it could be an outfit." Chris says holding some navy green pants.

"That would be adorable." I say, setting the clothes in the cart.

"Mommy! Mommy! Can I have this?" Amelia asks running up to us. She's holding a blue floral dress.

"Yes, honey, you can." I say grabbing it from her so I can put it in the cart. "Leah, did you find anything?" I ask her. She shakes her head.

"If you do, just let us know, okay?" I say to her. She nods before turning to follow Amelia. Leah didn't have that many outfits and Chris and I still haven't decided what we are going to do with the her yet.

"Hey Leah, do you like this?" I ask, holding up an overall dress with a pink shirt underneath. She looks at before smiling.

"That's pretty." She says, walking towards me.

"Would you like to have it?" I ask her. She makes a face as if she's thinking about it before nodding. I set it in the cart and Leah goes back to looking.

We walk out the store with about five shopping bags filled to the rim with clothes. Chris and I each manage to hold the bags. We reach the car and Chris presses the 'open' button on the keys to open the trunk. It opens slowly and I set all the bags inside the trunk before getting the girls in their seats. I go around to my seat and get in. Chris then drives us home.

We finally make it home and start getting everyone out of their seats. I fumble with Leah's buckle a little. I'm finally able to get it off after a minute of messing around with it. I her up and set her down of the ground.

I sit on the couch next to Leah and start taking the clothes out of the bags. I rip the tags off all of the clothes before putting them in piles. One for Amelia and one for Leah.

"Mommy, can you turn in the tv?" Amelia asks, looking over at me.

"Yeah." I say standing up and getting the remote. I turn on the tv and start looking through the channels, finally finding 'Shimmer and Shine'. I set the remote back down before grabbing the clothes and bringing them up into Amelia's room and Leah's makeshift room. I hang up all the dresses Amelia got before putting her pants and shirts away in her dresser, doing the same for Leah. I finish and walk down stairs and sit next to Amelia. Amelia leans on my shoulder and Leah sits by my feet. Chris comes in soon after and sits next to me putting his arm around me. I would love if everyday were just like this.
