A Beautiful Mess

Daddy

Three years later.

A few years back Jessica decided she wanted to be a pediatric nurse and is now about to begin her last semester of nursing school.

Brynlee is now four years old and is a happy and very energetic little girl.

"Who's ready to start school soon?!" Jessica asks with excitement.

"You gonna come with me, mommy?"

"Mommy's gonna drop you off but I can't stay."

"Oh no!" Brynlee whines.

"Then I'm not going to go!"

"Oh yes you are, little miss! You'll love it, I promise!"

"I don't know about that, mommy!"

Jessica laughs.

"You will! Trust me!"

"I don't!" Brynlee nods.

"Hey!"

"I only kidding!
..Mommy?"

"Yes baby girl?"

"Auntie Sarah moving back?"

"She is!"

For the past two and a half years Sarah has been studying in London. She always wanted to travel so this was a great experience for her.
Now it's time for her to move back. Only this time Sarah isn't coming home alone.

"We gonna see her tonight?"

"Mhm! She's bringing her boyfriend!" Jessica sings.

"Ooooh!" Brynlee giggles.

"I know!"

"What's his name?"

"Theodore." Jessica says in a posh type of accent.

"Oooh! What I going to wear, mommy?"

"Well why don't we go through your outfits and pick out a cute little dress?"

"Okay mommy! Follow me!" Brynlee takes off.

"Okay, baby!" Jessica giggles.

"Okay we're here! When we're in a restaurant we have to be good, remember?"

"I always good, mommy." Brynlee lifts her hands.

"I know you are but I just like to remind you sometimes."

"Thanks."

Jessica laughs and gets out to unbuckle her.

"Mommy fix my dress! It got all crumbled in the car!"

"Oh goodness! Here, let me help you out, sister!"

"Hey you not my sister, you my mommy!"

"Oh that's right! Silly me!"

"Silly silly mommy!" Brynlee giggles.

Jessica chuckles then holds her hand.

"Oh wait!" Brynlee shouts.

"What's wrong?"

"My purse! It's in my seat!"

"Oh my goodness!" Jessica laughs.

"Oh no, you can't forget that!"

Jessica reaches in and grands her purse.
"Here you go."

"Thank you, mommy!"

"You're welcome, baby!  Do you have money in there to pay for my dinner?"
