Because Angela Told Me To

[Ishigreensa]

Kim squatted down to her and rubbed her cheek.

"You're eight years old, aren't you?

[Liljessy]

Jesse smiled at Kim and nodded

"ok if you want, but I get to pick the tv we watch"

She allowed Kim to change her clothes

[Ishigreensa]

"Of course baby, as long as the program is appropriate for an eight year old."

She smiled at her.

After dressing her in clean clothes, she picked her up.

"Let's take you to the park, okay, honey?"

Angela smiled.

[Liljessy]

Jesse stood and put her hands up to Kim

"Aunty Kim, um, can you carry me please?"

She stood and refused to move

[Ishigreensa]

Kim picked her up and nosed her nose with her own.

"You are such a cute little girl," she said.

Soon, they were on the way back to the car.

Kim had a change of pants with her just in case.

"Try not to wet on me, though," she whispered to Jesse.

[Liljessy]

Jesse giggled and nodded

"im sorry I did, I won't do it again"

Jesse put her head on Kim's shoulder and closed her eyes before whispering

"thankyou Aunty Kim"

[Ishigreensa]

"You're welcome, sweetheart."

She carried her to the car, and settled her in her lap pulling the seat belt around both of them.

"Watch your speed, Angela," Kim warned her.

[Liljessy]

Jesse sat content as she cuddled with Kim, for some reason she felt really at ease with her and actually wanted her mom to allow Kim to babysit her.

"Aunty Kim? Do you weally wanna babysit me?"

[Ishigreensa]

"Yes, I do, baby," she said.

[Liljessy]

Jesse smiled

"thankyou"

[Ishigreensa]

"Oh, are you talking to me, now?" Barbara laughed.

[Liljessy]

"I...I didn't know if you'd like me. Do you think when we get to the park I could hold your hand?"

Jesse cuddled into Kim and relaxed, actually enjoying the day out

[Ishigreensa]

"Sure, honey," Barbara smiled.

[Liljessy]

Jesse nodded

"only if you push me"

[Ishigreensa]

"Of course, I'll push," Barbara said.

The girls didn't say anything about her going to the big swings because she was eight years old, and as long as she wasn't scared of them, then they figured she used them before.

Angela however, saw where they were headed and she ran after them.

"What do you think you're doing?" she asked Kim.

"You sister wants to swing."

"Yeah, over there," she pointed at the baby swings.

[Liljessy]

When Jesse saw where they were heading she stopped and stood still

"I don't want to go on those swings! Can we go on the slide?"

[Ishigreensa]

Angela stopped and she looked up at the other girls.

"I need a private word with Jesse," she told them.

She then took her hand and pulled her aside far enough for the others not to hear.

"Honey, you agreed to let Kim babysit you.

[Liljessy]

"Angela, I can't go on those swings, the bar in the middle hurts my tummy, don't you remember when I got stuck in one last year? It took nearly an hour to get me out. What did you say to Heidi?"

[Ishigreensa]

"Only that you agreed to let Kim babysit you and that you were acting more like a little girl.

[Liljessy]

"I better go see Heidi, i like Heidi but something about Kim makes me really relaxed. I don't want Heidi to be sad with me"

Jesse turned away and headed to where Heidi was

[Ishigreensa]

Angela watched from afar to see what was going to happen.

Heidi saw her approaching, so she squatted down and waited for her to come to her.

[Liljessy]

As Heidi didn't answer she tried again when she reached where Heidi was bent down

"Aunty Heidi?"

[Ishigreensa]

"What is it, honey?" she asked little Jesse.

[Liljessy]

Jesse nodded, she had tears swimming in her eyes as she put her arms around Heidi

[Ishigreensa]

"Aw," she looked over at Angela a little cross that she made her sister come and apologize.
