The Little Girl - Ch 1

Please Comment!
Ahh. Today is a good day! I have my coffee, Janey is still asleep, and Jim is coming home tonight! It's 7:53 a.m. I walk upstairs to wake up Janey. I slowly open her door... that's weird. The windows are open in her room. Hmm... nope. No one is in her room, or outside.
"Janey." I say. She slowly opens her eyes.
"Morning. Do you know what today is?" I ask.
"MY BIRTHDAY!" She sequels.
"Ready for the park?"
"I can play in my p.j.'s?" she asks confused.
"No, no. Here." I hand her a new outfit. It's blue jeans, pink shirt, white jacket and black boots.

"Mommy! How do I look?" Janey asks coming into the kitchen. She twirls. I laugh and stop her.
"Like my five-year old princess." I say picking her up.
"I do?!?!"
"Yep! And guess what."
"I get to meet Tinkerbell?"
"Yeah! Wait, no....... Daddy comes home tonight!"
"Is he bringing Jared?" she asks blushing. Jared is the little boy she likes.

"What? Well, maybe." I put her down and she sits at the island to eat her breakfast. She gives me a thumbs up and I laugh. I smile and pour her a glass of orange juice to help wash the food down. She takes it and gulps it.
"All done!" She says. I look at her plate. Everything's gone except for the scrambled eggs.
"Why didn't you eat the eggs?" I ask.
"Uncle C said that eggs were baby chickens."
"What?!?!?! Oh well." I take her plate and eat the eggs. I am so calling my brother!!! Ring! Ring! I answer the phone.

"Hello?" I ask.
"Hey Judy! Where's my wonderful niece?!?!" C says.
"One second." I hand Janey the phone.
"Uncle C!!!!" She sequels. Ouch! She talks to my brother while twirling her finger around a strand of blonde hair. I take a drink of my coffee. I love coffee! I look at Janey who has huge brown eyes.

"Really," she yells, "Yay!!" she hands me the phone and runs to the living room to watch Dragon Tales.
"Hello?" I ask.
"This is the C Man."
"Ok? Whatever, why did you tell Janey that eggs are baby chickens?"
"Well, she wanted to know."
"So! You still don't tell her!!"
"Well, too bad! you can't change a thing. Anyway, I told Janey I would be visiting next week for her birthday."

"Ok?"
"I need to stay at your house."
"WHAT?!?! Why?!?!"
"Ouch! Because! I got fired! And they told me I have to pack my stuff."
"C!! Why???"
"Because, they didn't like that I came in happily and made everyone around me happy."

"That's stupid."
"I know! So..... Can I stay?" Should I let him?? He is my older brother.
"Ugh! fine! But only because you told Janey it was for her birthday!"
" I love you! Bye!" And with that he hangs up. Ring! Ring.
"Hello?" I ask.
"Hey Judy! How's my birthday girl doing?" Jim asks.
"Good. C is going to be staying with us next week."

"Cool. What's his name now?"
"The C Man. Jim starts laughing.
"Well, at least it's not as bad as The C-Cold."
"MOMMY!" Janey yells.
"She's already awake?" Jim asks.
"Yep. Want to talk to her?" I ask. Jim says yes.
"One sec. Janey!" Janey walks in the kitchen.
"Daddy is on the phone."
"YAY!" I hand her the phone.

It is now 11:15 a.m. I lok at Janey who's watching Yo Gaba Gaba.
"Janey. Are you ready for the park?" I ask.
"Yes!" She hops off the couch, turns the t.v. off and gets her pretty pink puppy. I grab my keys and we walk outside to the car. There's a little girl. She looks pale. She has Light brown hair, green eyes and is wearing an old ratty night-gown.
"Janey. come play." She says. Janey stops and clutches my hand.
"Hi hun. We need to go. Where's your mommy?" I ask.

"She's sleeping."
"Ok. go on home. And then Janey can play when we get back."
"Ok. Bye Miss. Judy." How does she know my name? she walks across the street and walks into a white house. I look at Janey who is waving by to the little girl.
"Janey, who is that little girl?"
"Cynthia."
"Oh."
