"are you finished with your chores pumpkin?" mom asked me as she took her heels off.
"yeah, i also fed jack since you came home late," i said not looking up from my sketch.
she sighed as she grabbed a dr pepper from the fridge. i looked up to watch her plop down on the couch. a few seconds later jack starts crying signalling he woke up from his nap. mom started to get up.
"i got him mom, go take a nap or something," i assured her.
"alright," she hesitated, "thanks pumpkin."
i walked over towards jack's room and opened the door. his crying turned into whimpers once he saw me. i walked over to his crib and carefully picked him up. i grabbed his pacifier from the top of his dresser, and put it in his mouth. i took him to the kitchen and put his bottle in the warmer.
i set him down in his highchair and grabbed his bottle. he grabbed it and held it in his mouth. i looked out the window into the soaking rain and saw a dull yellow note stuck to the window. i walked over towards the window and looked closer at the note. it was addressed to me.
