Angel Baby

Momma

[RACHEL'S POV]
When Demi said that her mom was coming I started to worry. I wasn't scared but I was worried. I was worried if she would like me. I worried if she was nice. I worried what she would think of me staying with Demi.

'Oh no.' I thought.

What if she didn't want me to stay with Demi and made me leave? What about Rex? What would happen to him if I was told to leave? Would they let me take him? Would they let him stay or take him somewhere else? What if I never see him again?

Now I was starting to get scared and panicked. I think Demi noticed because she started to rub my back.

"Sweetheart, there is nothing to be scared of, okay?" She stated in a soft, soothing voice.

I only nodded in response.

"Demi?" I called quietly.

She hummed and looked at me while tucking a small strand of my dark hair behind my ear.

"Do you know where Rex's toy is?" I questioned.

"Um, I think it is still in your bag. Stay here and I will go get it." She said.

I nodded and said 'Thank you'

"And don't take off your glasses, okay?" She stated in a firm yet soft voice.

"Okay Demi." I said back.

"Good girl." She praised.

She came back a few minutes later with the old rope you in her hands and handed it to me.

"Thank you" I said with a small smile creeping onto my face.

"Your welcome sweet girl." She said as she sat down next to me.

I whisled and called Rex's name.

He snapped his head in my direction before running to me and stopping at my feet. He sat and waited for me to say something.

"Play?" I questioned to which he barked and his tail wagged excitingly as if to say 'yes please'.

I giggled and threw the rope as far as I could, which wasn't very far, but he chased it anyways. He came running back and handed the toy back to me before sitting and waiting for me to throw it again. I listened to he silent wish and threw it again.

This continued for a while then the doorbell rung. It did scare me but I was trying to distract myself so it didn't scare me that bad. Rex however started growling and start g at the clear door.

I snapped my fingers and he stopped. He licked my face to make sure I was okay and went back to playing. It was hard to not shake from the sudden noise but I managed.

"Stay here sweet girl, I am going to go get the door." Demi said while getting up and waiting for me to answer before going inside.

I nodded my head.

My nerves were starting to grow and Rex notised. This time instead of giving the toy back he pulled gently on it once it was in my hand indicating he wanted to play
'tug-of-war' instead.

I agreed and started to pull too.

He always knew ways to help me when I was nervous. He was one of the very few things that could make me feel better. He was my one and only best friend.

[DEMI'S POV]
To say I was nervous for my mom to meet Rachel, would be the understatement of the century. I was terrified. I didn't know how either of them would react. I know Rachel is nervous but I have no idea how my mom is feeling right now.
