Shove it

Toni sat with the baby between her legs in the circle of other mothers. Cheryl insisted that Nessa be signed up for one of those baby day groups so she could socialise. Toni thought it was ridiculous but here she was in a colourful room sitting on a foam mat. Cheryl was at work during the day on a Wednesday, when the group met. Toni thought it was funny how things worked out like that. And by funny Toni meant Cheryl definitly set her up.

Toni stuck out like a sore thumb in the group. All of the other mothers were wearing such stereotypical mom clothes, ill-fitting jeans, unfortunate blazers. Toni felt so odd and out of place there. With her pink hair and leather jacket she felt more like a babysitter than a mom. Nessa didn't care too much. She was happy to play on the soft toys supplied by the group leader. Toni held her hips to stop her from crawling off.

She had started crawling fully independently two weeks ago. Cheryl was elated, she even called her mother to tell her, which wasn't something she normally does. She was a bit delayed though, which both the girls took notice of. At 11 months she should be bracing herself for her first steps not crawling. Nessa's pediatrician didn't think it was a cause of worry, she insisted that all babies move at their own pace and that Nessa would hit her milestones at her own time.

There were seven other moms in the circle. They had all been her before evidently since they were all making comfortable chatter when Toni arrived. They had all also brought snacks for the group which Toni had not. It was never stated in the email. One of the other mothers gave her a dirty look for doing so. It took everything in Toni not to stand back up and leave. She had to remind herself she was doing this for Nessa, to help her socialise.

A brunette named Aubrey was the head of the circle. She had a front fringe and her hair was pulled back in a low ponytail. She had a giant smile plastered on her face. She had a six month old boy named Nico. She had a two year old that was tottering around somewhere in a corner named Abby. She'd been head of this circle for a while. She was then one who had sent Toni the email that never mentioned supplying baked goods. Toni wouldn't of even cared, she loves an excuse to make cupcakes.

"We have a new mom with us here today, Toni." Aubrey introduced beginning the meeting. Her voice was smooth like velvet. "So why don't we go around and introduce ourselves and our little ones."

Audrey smiled her smile and the blonde sitting next to her. She seemed so poised and put together. Her hair was curled to perfection and she was wearing a blue summer dress. Toni wanted to roll her eyes, it wasn't even that warm out.

"Hi, my name is Lindsey. I've been here since Braxlee was 4 weeks old. I'm the group secretary and I am so happy to welcome new members. Braxlee is 14 months old. She's getting two new teeth." Lindsey said with such enthusiasm.

Toni didn't know what she wanted to roll her eyes at more, the fact her daughters name was Braxlee or that getting two new teeth earned and awww from the other mothers.

Next was Belinda and her son Jayden, then Debby and her twins Ayla and Sara, then Tiffany and her son Rubio, Grace and Daxton and Jennifer and her daughter Harvest. Toni was last. She already hated these mothers and their kids. She didn't want to be here and the longer she had to sit through hearing these parents subtly brag about how there kids were the best the more she wanted to scream at her wife for signing them up.

"Hi I'm Toni. It's nice to meet you all." Lie "I'm a photographer, I work four days a week most of the time. My partner runs an online clothing company. Nessa is our first kid. She is 11 months old and likes bananas."

Nessa looked up at her mother and chanted "Nanas." At the mention of her favourite snack. Toni chuckled and kissed the small of the girls head.

"No nanas." Toni told her.
