Within Their World

Attack on Karen

This takes place about two weeks after Chloe gets home, after the apology meeting. So yes, Chloe is still pregnant with the twins.

Cora's POV

     I'm watching my favorite cartoon as I play with my stuffies Mr. Bear and Ms. Pony. Gray got them for me because he said I was a good girl last week when we went to the doctors, the shot hurt and I cried but Gray said I did good. Mr. Bear is trying to kiss Ms. Pony but she doesn't like him so she stomps on his head with her big horse feet. I make the horse sound effect making myself giggle as I half pay attention to the pretty colors on the screen. i'm waiting for Gray to get ready because he said we're going to see my friends today. I am most excited about seeing my boys because they're always nice and always want to play with me especially Cody.

     I asked Gray if Cody was a little person like me but he said no which make me sad but big Cody is still funny so I guess it's okay. I squealing surprise when I hand comes down to cover my eyes The sudden darkness surprising me.

     "Guess who?" The voices and I giggle already knowing who it is but wanting to play along.

    "Uhhhh is it Santa Clause?" I ask, giggling when Gray scoffs in disbelief.

      "It's not even Christmas time babygirl." He says and all I can do it laugh before I let him know that I know it's him.

      " I know it's you Gray I was just playing along with the game." I tell him as he removes his hands from my eyes and I tilt my head up looking up at him with a grin that he returns. My daddy's hair is up in a ponytail and it makes me smile knowing that we have matching hair even though mine has two ponytails and he's only has one.

     "That's very nice of you baby girl, good job." he praises me and I can't help but giggle as warmth spreads through my cheeks not being able to take his pretty eyes I looked back down at the table where all my coloring books and stuffed animals are spread out on the table. "Are you ready to go?" he asked me one of his hands coming down to rub my head and I go to nod but at the last second I shake my head no.

      "Gray can I take some books and toys? I want to play with my boys!" I ask him and even though he looks like he's about to say no I poked out my lip and widen my eyes before clasping my hands together as I look at him pleading for him to say yes. He's sighs knowing that he's going to give in before he nods.

      "Fine. You can bring one book, one pack of markers and two toys. If you leave something at James' house I'm not turning around to get it so you have to take care of your toys." He explains to me softly and I nod my head slowly to show him that I understand but he raises a brow making me blush and look down at the floor.

      "Yes, Daddy." I say and he smiles down at me before he crouches down a place is a tiny kiss on my forehead making me giggle.

      "Good girl." He says softly and I blush once more. "Now show Daddy what you want to bring so I can pack it." He tells me and I point out what I want to bring as he takes them in his hands and puts them in a bag that he carries everywhere with us. Once the bag is packed he grabs my hand and has me stand up grabbing the bag to take us to the kitchen.

      I sit down at the table with the bag in front of me as I watch as Graves moves about getting snacks for me and my sippy cup.

     "Apple or Cranberry?" He asked me turning towards me with the nice smile and a raised eyebrows and I put my finger on my chin as I think about this serious decision.

     "Cranberry!" I decide knowing it's never straight cranberry but always the mixed ones that make my stomach go 'yum'. Great shakes his head in amazement at me before he fills up my sippy cup with mostly juice and a little bit of water before coming to give it to me.
