A New Sister

[Shy-Diapers]

Emily nods and cuddles close to mama not wanting to be away from her anymore. She falls asleep quickly being exhausted from all the crying.

[justagirl4fun]

Gracie finally nods off, still whimpering a bit in her sleep.

[Liljessy]

Gabbie heads into her bedroom and climbs into bed hoping that there won't be yet another wet bed in the morning.

[justagirl4fun]

Despite being exhausted Gracie, suffering from jet lag, wakes up after only a few hours. She reaches for Maggie, being used to sharing a bed with her, and starts to cry when she finds Ashley next to her instead.

[Shy-Diapers]

(I had Ashley in bed with Gracie so she wouldn't be alone.)

[justagirl4fun]

(sorry I didn't know if she stayed in the room or went to her own bed with Maggie and Emily after Gracie fell asleep, I'll fix it)

[Shy-Diapers]

(That's fine.)

[Shy-Diapers]

"Shhhh baby it's okay"

She says when she wakes up from the crying.

"Shhh sweety"

She coos and shows her the stuffed animal showing her it wa still there in hopes to calm her down.

Gracie took the bunny and laid back down, still crying softly as she sucked her thumb. She wasn't quite sure why she was awake, when she was so sleepy, but just knew that she felt like she was supposed to be awake. "Mama?" she asked, looking up at Ashley with big, dark eyes.

[Shy-Diapers]

"You want mama? I'll see, but do you wanna sleep with mommy?"

She asks putting her hands together as if praying and then laying on them to say sleep.

[justagirl4fun]

Gracie pouted around her thumb but closed her eyes and tried to get back to sleep. It didn't work; she was feeling too restless. After a few minutes she sat back up, still holding the bunny and sucking her thumb.

[Shy-Diapers]

"Okay let's go see MaMa."

She says with a sigh.

"Hopefully Emily won't wake up."

She says quietly not wanting another toddler awake and crying. She heads to the master bedroom and gently nudges Maggie.

[justagirl4fun]

Maggie woke up as Ashley poked her. "Huh? What's wrong?" she muttered sleepily.

[Shy-Diapers]

"Duty calls."

She says holding Gracie out to her. Emily stayed asleep only stirring a little.

[justagirl4fun]

Maggie sighed. "I knew this would happen. Try giving her a bath, that seems to help her calm down and relax. Maybe she'll go back to sleep," Maggie said, afraid that if she got up Emily would wake up and feel abandoned.

[Shy-Diapers]

"Okay thanks. Good idea. I don't want emily to wake up."

She says carrying Gracie to the bathroom and starting a hot bath with bubble and toys.

[justagirl4fun]

Gracie stopped crying when she saw the tub being filled and even smiled a little.

[Shy-Diapers]

Ashley smiles and thinks of something,

"Do you want to take a bath with mommy?"

She asks pointing to the bathtub and then to herself.

[justagirl4fun]

Gracie looked at Ashley and said "Mommy" followed by the sign for 'water.'

[Shy-Diapers]

"Okay baby"

She says undressing Gracie and setting her on the potty. While she sees if gracie will go potty she starts to undress herself.

[justagirl4fun]

Gracie pees a little and waits to get in the tub.

[Shy-Diapers]

"Good girl!"

She coos lifting her into the tub and sitting down with her after flushing.

[justagirl4fun]

Gracie picks up a few toys and starts playing, chattering quietly to herself in Chinese. Then she picks up a rubber duckie and makes it quack at Ashley.

[Shy-Diapers]

"Can you say ducky?"

She asks smiling when she sees her quack the duck.

[justagirl4fun]

"Du!" Gracie giggles and makes the duck quack again.
