Giselle POV:

"Here comes the plane," I made plane noises as I moved the spoon holding baby food in front of London's mouth. The food looked nasty. It was mushed up bananas I think. She opened her mouth and I slid the spoon in.

There was food all over her since she occasionally would spit it back out.

"Once you've fed her, give her a bath," my mom said.

"Sure."

London really needed one.

After her feeding her and bathing her, I put her in her cradle, but she wouldn't stop crying. It was late and I had school in the morning. I picked her up and gently rocked her back and forth in my arms.

"OK, London. I really need you to stop crying," I pleaded.

She continued to cry.

"Why are you crying? I should be crying, I have a math test tomorrow. Plus, I have to see Rose flirt with Matt."

Still crying. I put her head onto my chest and gently rubbed her back.

"Shh, it's okay." Still more crying. Since my mom typically puts her to bed, I had no idea how to get her to stop crying.

Her diapers clean, she's fed, what else is there. I continued to rub her back. People normally sing to babies, right? I mean I've seen people do it in the movies. When I was little my real mom would always sing 'Hush, Little Baby' to me so it has to work.

"Hush, little baby, don't say a word, Papa's gonna buy you a mockingbird. And if that mockingbird don't sing, Papa's gonna buy you a diamond ring. And if that diamond ring turn brass, Papa's gonnabuy you a looking glass," her crying had stopped and her breathing steadied, "And if that looking glass gets broke, Papa's gonna buy you a billy goat. And if that billy goat don't pull, Papa's gonna buy you a cart and bull. And if that cart and bull turn over, Papa's gonna buy you a dog named Rover. And if that dog named Rover won't bark," she was asleep so I gently laid her down in her crib, " Papa's gonna to buy you and horse and cart. And if that horse and cart fall down, Well you'll still be the sweetest little baby in town."

She had her thumb in her mouth so I slowly took it out and put in her pacifier.

"Sleep tight, little baby," and with that I exited her room and went straight to my bed.

*******

The next morning started off with a promising start. I think I did well on my math test, which is surprising because I'm shit at math. I saw Rose without Matt near her. Also, Rose asked to hang out after school.

It was lunch so as normal my friends and I were sitting outside gossiping, but this time Rose was sitting across from me.

"Did you hear that Nikki is getting sent to boarding school," Kai, one of my friends, said. Nikki and I weren't close, but I had her in a few of my classes. She seemed cool to me.

"It was only a matter of time before her parents found out about her whoring around," Andrew, not so much of my friend, said.

"He's only mad because she didn't want to sleep with him," Todd, kind of a friend, said.

"Fuck off, man," Andrew lightly pushed him.

"Claire, have you decided who you're going to homecoming with?" Chris asked. Claire is Rose's first name, everyone calls her it except for me. I love her middle name. It fits her. Delicate, soft, and beautiful.

"No, not yet. I've gotten a few proposals but I'm not interested," she answered.

I wonder if Matt's asked her yet. I wish I could take her. I know she's going to look perfect in whatever she chooses to wear, she always does.
