Baby Bieber

Chapter Eight

Nicole POV

A warm liquid drenched my cheek, wiping it away; it was drool. I stretched my legs, knees cracking. I was in my bed, blankets placed over me. I got up from my bed, hair messy. A note was on my nightstand, folded up neatly. I frowned and opened it, I was frankly confused.

It was time to get Delilah, and I didn't want to wake you. Picking up Chinese for dinner.

It was three already? I haven't answered any emails for work, I haven't done anything really. I decided to change out of the clothes I used for a snot rag a couple hours ago. I pulled off my shirt, and pants. I put on a Nike jumper over my bra, and a pair of worn varsity sweats. I took out my laptop and started answering emails about orders and questions and things.

I heard the door shoot open, and loud footsteps. "Shh, your mommy is sleeping." Jasmine hushed. "Sorry." I heard Delilah whisper in a hush tone. I closed the laptop and crawled out from under the covers, going to the living room. "I'm awake." I called. "Oh, that's good. I brought Chinese." Jasmine smiled, pulling the bag up with Chinese food containers. "Thank you..hi Princess." I smiled at Delilah, kissing her cheek and ruffling her hair. "Hi mommy, we made paper monsters at school today!" Delilah exclaimed, holding a paper monster out, gripped gently in her hands. It had a circle like thing as head, and blue triangle eyes. The body was a purple square, with orange hearts going down it. "Its adorable, Delilah! Do you want to go hang that up on the fridge with your farm animal magnets that I got you?" I asked her. She nodded, and skipped in the kitchen to put her creation on the fridge.

"So how are you?" Jasmine asked. "I'm okay, thank you for picking Delilah up." I replied, picking at my unpainted nails. "That's what friends are for, it's fine." Jasmine smiled, squeezing my shoulder gently. We went in the kitchen and put portions of everything on three paper plates, I got chow maine, ramjam chicken, and fried rice. Jasmine got the same as me, except she got orange chicken instead. Delilah got a small egg roll, some lemon chicken, and chow maine. Delilah sucked the brown noodles from her plate, giggling at the sound. I smiled softly at her, getting a napkin and wiping her mouth.

"That was good, thank you." I said to Jasmine. "Don't thank me, send a email to the owners of Chinese Fusion, not me." Jasmine joked, tossing the sauce stained paper plates in the trash. "Hey Delilah, your birthday party is in four days, you are turning five in 7 days, my big girl!" I smiled, peppering kisses on her face. "Thank you mommy! Are we giving the invitations out?" Delilah asked.

"I will work on them tonight, for your whole class." I replied. "Can I help?" She asked. "I'll probably staying up late to do them and it's Thursday, a school night love..." I said uneasily. "Peese?" Delilah frowned, eyes growing large. "Aw cmon Nicole, who can say no to this little smurf." Jasmine added, making me glare playfully. "Oh fine, you are going to be in bed by eight though." I reminded. "Yay!" Delilah squealed, high fiving Jasmine. "Oh and Nicole? You got a call when you were asleep about getting your brace for your ankle on Friday, your ankle bone is bruised. The doctor said to be there at 1pm to pick it up." Jasmine said. I told her all about the fight with Selena, so I didn't have to explain. "Okay, thanks." I replied.

"I have to go pick up Ryan from my moms, I'll be back in a few! I'm staying with you until you get your brace, so you will be safe." Jasmine said, and left to get Ryan. "Mommy, you got a noodle on your hair!" Delilah giggled, climbing up on my lap, foot pressing against my ankle making me wince. "Do you have a owie?" Delilah frowned at my facial expression. "I'm fine baby, mommys ankle has a booboo, but I am getting something to help heal it on Friday." I answered, brushing her hair out of her face. "We can call daddy to help, right?" Delilah smiled hopefully. "No princess..daddy is..busy today." I said, feeling horrible that I lied to her.
