Instant desires

2. McDonalds

I gave Soph her breakfast and made a plate for me, and Tracy. She went back yet but I figured she would line it if she came back to some nice food. Her and Sophia always called me a good cook, but I don't think I am.

I sent Sophia into the living room with her food. She gladly went out into the living room with her blanket and ate. I changed it to something else since she didn't want to watch Sophia the first anymore. I decided on puppy pals, since she was obsessed with that show. I was glad I could make her smile everyday.

After she was done eating she took her plate out to the sink and rinsed it off, then threw away her juice box. She then started screaming, I immediately ran out to the kitchen to see what was wrong.

"Sissy sissy sissy!" She jumped in joy pointing out the window. I couldn't see much since some of the roof from downstairs was covering it. We then heard three knocks on the front door then a pattern. I knew it was Tracy so I ran down the stairs alomost tripping, and saw her standing there.

"Told you" she smiles in glee soaking wet. I laughed and pulled her into a hug. We heard another knock on the door, and I looked at Tracy in confusion.

"It's just Tim" she says letting him in.

"Hi I'm Tim, this is Glinda, Aubrey, Emily, and Melody" he said there were way to many people in the house. Sophia tugged in my coat a little scared and I picked her up.

"Hi, I'm Kamilah Markman. Close the door and lock it please. Did you lock the gate?" I asked as Tracy's eyes got wide she immediately ran outside and shut it. She came back and nodded. We all laughed and headed into the down stairs living room.

"What's that?" Sophia asks

"Food. We brought back almost a year worth of it!" Tracy says feeling accomplished. Soph nodded.

"What kind?" Wow she's curious.

"McDonalds sweets" I say as she already gets excited.

"Can we have some for lunch? Please?" She says bouncing in my lap.

"Yes, we have your chicken nuggets too" the Emily girl answers.

"Thank you everyone for bringing this food, I deep,y appreciate it" I pause as they nod and smile "we have a couple extra guest rooms down here if you guys need a place to say."

"Oh thank you so much that would be great" Melody says.

"It's the least I could do since you brought this food for us." I answer

"Can I go watch tv upstairs?" Sophia asks I nod as she heads upstairs. I start to stand up when Tracy stops me.

"Mom why don't you stay down here and talk to them, and I'll watch Soph?" Tracy suggests I hesitantly nod and sit down.

"Would any one like some tea? Coffee?" I ask.

"We actually" time pauses digging in the bag "have some" He hands everyone some coffee. I thank him and take a sip.

"I think we're pretty lucky to have all this. I mean coffee McDonalds, WiFi, and good food. Especially power. It's crazy to think any of this is possible in an apocalypse" I say they nod and we continue talking.

We talk for a couple more hours about how hard it is to be an adult, and family. I almost teared up telling them my story. We took turns telling each other what happened. Some of them still had family others had no one. I was thankful I had my daughters left. We all decided it was time for lunch.

We head upstairs and start making some fries, burgers, and chicken from the bag. I feel off as I notice Tracy and Sophia aren't in the living room. My heart drops. I ask Tim to take control.

"Mel Emily can you check the porch, and outside please?" I ask they nod and look.

I head down the hall and check my room nothing. I check the guest room nothing. I check Tracy's room. I find a sleepy Tracy and no Sophia. At this point I was crying.

"Tracy!" I screech she shoots up and rubs her head.

"What?" She asks "why are you crying?" She asks as she looks around for something. She opens her phone and sees its twelve.

"WHERE THE FUCK IS SOPHIA?!" I yell as I go into her room.

"She's in the living room why?" She asks

"NO SHES NOT, MY BABYS GONE, AND ITS ALL YOUR FAULT!" I yell crying Tracy gets up and goes to the living room. She's then shocked

"Holy shit. Mom please don't be mad I didn't know. I...didn't...know" she says in between sobs.

"Mommy!" I hear a crying Sophia. I sprint towards the sound. I head downstairs where I hear the sound.

"I hear you keep screaming sweetie" I say still sobbing.

"Mommy!" I hear Sophia crying more I'm breaking down. The sound of your own child's hart breaking. Hearing them scream and not being able to do anything about it, tears me apart. I finally hear it clearly.

I open the front door and sprint outside looking around frantically.i see her in the garden with blood on her. I get scared, was she bit? No please god don't let her be hurt. Please god. I run over and pick her up. I run inside and put her down. I get some hydro peroxide and rub it in her arm (A/N I don't know if that's what it's called but it's that brown stuff that your parents rub in your cuts and it hurts like a brat)

"What happened?" I ask frantically cleaning it. I see a bite and my heart shatters. Not my baby.

"I was playing with Chloe with a stick and she bit my arm. It hurt she thought it was the stick, she licked my it and started licking my face to apologize but it still hurt" she answers a wave of relief is quick to wash over me.

I call Chloe inside and check her out, I look at her eyes and her body. She was good still a normal dog. I head back over to Sophia and get her cleaned up. I shut and lock the front door and carry Soph upstairs.

"Mom I'm sorry. I just haven't been feeling good lately. I told her to stay in the living room. I didn't want her to see me sick. I'm sorry" she cry's I hug her and say it's okay.

"Sophia when you're told to stay in the living room you stay in the living room. Do you understand?!" I say a little harsh she starts to tear up she nods and walks away. I grab her arm. I kneel down and hug her for the longest time.

I pick her up and hug her, and Tracy. I'm never gonna loose my baby's.
