The Nerd Next Door

(44)

6 months later

Dominic was now 9 months.

He was getting into everything, making his mothers very cautious about the things they leave around.

"Domo. Honey, no." Cheryl told the crawling boy.

Dominic frowned. "Here, play with his instead." Cheryl said, handing him the phone.

Somehow, he called Toni.

Toni answered, "Hello, babe?"

"Bbabbnabbabapssssssffff." He spit.

Toni sighed, "Domo? Can you give the phone to mama?"

Dominic looked up at Cheryl, "baaaaaa." He shrieked.

Cheryl turned around, rolling her eyes as she grabbed the phone.

"You called mommy?" Cheryl asked, putting the phone to her ear.

"Hello?" Cheryl said, picking up Dominic.

"Do we have any more diapers?" Toni asked.

"Yeah, We do need some though. Also some wipes." Cheryl sighed, placing the boy in his sleeping hamper.

"Okay, I'll be home in a few. Love you."

"I love you more." Cheryl smiled before hanging up the phone.

"Now you. Let's get you to sleep." Cheryl sighed.

--------

Cheryl finally got Dominic to sleep. She plumped down on the couch, taking a breather.

Toni enters the house. She placed her bags down, smiling when she saw Cheryl sitting on the couch.

"Hey, baby." Cheryl greeted, leaning up to kiss Toni.

"Hey. He tired you out?" Toni asked.

"A lot." Cheryl giggled.

"When he wakes up we could take him to the park." Toni suggested, laying her head on Cheryl's shoulder.

"Sounds like a good idea." Cheryl smile before kissing her forehead.

-------

It was totally a bad idea.

Dominic wouldn't stop crawling away from the blanket they had set on the grass.

But what caught them by surprise was when he got up and waddled back over to them with a flower in his hand.

"Did he just..." Cheryl trailed.

"Walk?" Toni finished.

Dominic waddled over to Cheryl, giving her the flower.

"Aw, thank you, baby boy." Cheryl kissed his cheek.

Dominic smiled, looking over at Toni who was smiling at them.

He went behind her, picking up the flower then give it to her.

"Your so sweet, Domo." Toni chuckled, holding the flower.

The doctor did say he'd be able to walk around 9-10 months.

Dominic went of the blanket again, making Cheryl sigh as she got up.

Toni chuckled at her family, loving to spend time with them.

Ideas??? Nothing too crazy...
