“Ah, I see. I’ll talk you through anything new then, okay? Would dat make snookums feel bettew?” Crystal said cutely. Carley cringed and blushed a little at the baby talk.
“Oh you better get used to being embarrassed, cutie,” Crystal teased.
“What’s that supposed to mean?” Carley asked. This time she felt just a tad annoyed.
“You’ll see,” Crystal sing-songed.
The car stopped at a Super-Mart. “Why are we here?” Carley asked.
“Because Momma needs to pick up some supplies for her new baby girl.” Crystal walked over to the car seat, typed in some kind of code, and Carley’s restraints were suddenly released. Carley then felt herself being lifted up and placed on Crystal’s hip. “Come on!” Crystal was smiling and walking with newfound confidence and energy.
