Girlfriend to a Baby

pt2 | Picnic

The game was pretty boring to me so I asked them and went for a walk around the field, they didn't want me to get lost so they sent Gabby with me. I started running as soon as the lake came in my view. They'd told me about this in the car and about the ducks that live there.

"Hewwo ducky!! Wey aar chu? DUCKY!!" I kneeled near the water in a way that my outfit doesn't get ruined. No matter how much I called no ducks came out. Sitting with a pout. I gave up.

I turned to see that Gabby was talking to someone on the phone with his back facing me. I quietly slipped from behind him and ran behind a tree and giggled watching as he spoke leisurely to the person on the other end.

I turned and skipped my way as far as I could go till i got too tired to proceed any further. I turned back so I could go back to them but all I saw was the enpty field and light scattering of trees.

While in front of me was a metal road. We came by a car so, I'll get to them faster if I follow the road maybe. Thinking so I once again began walking. For the next hour or so I saw nothing but the empty field on both side of me.

I plopped down on the street frustrated and screamed out which by the end of it my voice began cracking and I felt the tears building up again. But I'm lost. How will i go back? Will they find me? If they don't find me? What'll i do??

I sobbed in the middle of nowhere and the more i thought of my situation it just made me sadder.

"Hey, little one, what's wrong? Are you alone here?" A soothing and calm voice spoke from behind me making me jump in fright and squeak.

"It's ok it's ok. You're not hurt." He petted my head softly and continued, "Now, what happened, little one?". I wanted to tell him that I was lost and I wanted to get back. How I wanted him to take me back to them. But I couldn't come up with anything. He offered his hand to me and I looked at it quizzically before placing my hand on it and he pulled me up.

" Can you speak, little one?" He asked calmly yet again. Same feeling clamped on my tongue. I wanted to speak but I couldn't was this how it felt like to be mute? Can I not speak anymore? Will I never be able to talk to anyone?

"Hush now it's ok if you can't. Just take a deep breath. C'mon, you're a good girl you can do it" he encouraged and I took a shaky breath in, "That's it, such a good girl. Ok let's try again, nod once if you came here alone." He waited for me to nod , but I shook my head.

"Then are you lost?" I nodded my head vigorously with wide eyes. And they got teary again. Rubbing my eyes I tried telling him I was there with my Daddy and Bubba. But all I managed were some blubber.

"It's ok, I understand. I'll get you back ok? Don't worry. Can you walk?" I hesitantly nodded. "Or do you want to be carried like a princess?"

"Pweash!!!" I squealed finally loving the idea of not having to walk. He scooped me in his arms and I wrapped my arms around his neck.

He walked on the road for a while before getting on the grass and continued. Soon I noticed a car parked nearby and I pointed at it realising it was Kate's. I was jumping too much for him to hold me so he put me down on the ground but before he could hold my hand I ran off towards the vehicle tripping and falling a couple times resulting me to get scraped and bloody knee caps.

I saw Gabby standing there leaning on the car with his hands covering his face. Was he crying? Oh no did I make him sad?

I went and hugged him and did so tightly, enjoying the familiar warmth.

"Oh my god!! ELLE WHERE THE HELL WERE YOU?! I WAS RIGHT THERE! HOW'D YOU EVEN GO SOMEWHERE?! AND WHY DID YOU?" He kept yelling at me and kept me at a hands distance by gripping my shoulders.

I apologized but all that came out were incoherent to him and he brushed it off, continuing to scold me. Although once he abruptly stopped and called someone saying he got me.

I was a whimpering mess by the time everyone returned in a crowd because Gabby told me to stop my crying or he'll 'make me' stop. They too first began yelling and everyone together!!

I was looking at the ground so no one saw me or heard me over their own voices. But I'd had enough so I covered my ears, closing my eyes shut and cried out. Something hit my side, I opened my eyes to see I fell on the ground and, a body engulfed me in a hug but soon hoisted me up and started cradling me.

It was Jo.

My apologies were still baby talk so I stopped trying seeing that even Bubba didn't get me. The man came to my rescue and explained how he got me sitting on the road crying then about me being deep somewhere and they were talking about something but I couldn't hear it 'cause Jo kept swaying me and that made me sleepy.

At the end I slept with the the last thing on my mind, they were talking about food and we didn't have our sandwiches that Kate brought. I WAS HUNGRY!!
