elle -at the mall-
"marli." i sing, tickling her. she's getting fussy and in trying to get her to calm down. i'm sure she just want to be held. i pull to one of the benches and walk to the side of the stroller. she's just strapped into her car seat on top of the stroller. i unbuckle her and then take her. i put her on my hip and she calms down. i hand her her pacifier as well. she hold onto the little bear that's attached to the pacifier.
"alright." i say once she's situated. i then push the stroller and head to h&m.
"excuse me ma'am. your daughter keeps staring at me." i hear someone say. i turn around and see bri and hayes.
"hey." i exclaim with a smile. i side hug bri. hayes takes marli from me.
"what's up twin." he says to her. she smiles.
"where's Jack?" bri asks me.
"he was grabbing a sweatshirt from tilly's." i say. she nods
"in a hundred degree weather?" she asks. i nod. she laughs.
"how's the baby?" she asks.
"ok i guess." i say with a laugh, setting my hands on my belly.
"is it not moving?" she asks
"i'm only like three or so months." i says ith a laugh.
"yea but you could feel marli move when she was like almost 4 months." she says
"i was 5 months." i say. she rolls her eyes.
"when are you guys finding out the gender?" she asks.
"i'm the only one who's gonna know. i'm doing a gender reveal for you guys and Jack." i say, referring to the group.
"are you kidding me?" bri exclaims.
"no." i say with a laugh. she groans.
"be patient. i have one more month and then you guys will know." i say. she sighs. marli starts to grunt while kicking
"see, even she wants to know." bri says, motioning to marli. she giggles.
"she sees Jack." i say motioning behind hayes. hayes turn around and marli does too. she giggles and kicks.
"hey princess." Jack says, taking her from hayes. she smiles and looks at me.
"is that daddy?" i ask. she giggles and nods her head quickly. we laugh.
"she's gonna start talking soon." bri says
"don't remind me." i say with a sigh.
"it's ok, you having another little one soon." she says.
"that we won't know the gender of." she says with an eye roll
"you wanna do the gender reveal?" i ask. her eyes light up
"hell yea." she says
"ok then. i'll pick you up in like two weeks so you can come with us to the ultrasound." i say. she smiles and dances around. marli screams.
"our family's dysfunctional."
