Squirt!

Sitting slumped down on his bed Trey couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at the knock on the door. He wasn't expecting anyone and most of the time Ariel would call before coming over and Pete had his own rhythm knock. Cerosity drove him to to tell whoever it was to come on in.

As Cindy enters Trey was shocked and he sits up more on his bed. His eyes narrow for a second wondering what she wanted and who the child in her arms was. About to say something Trey is cut off by Cindy and he just sits on the best and listens not saying anything. Tears seem to want to well up in Trey's eyes but he fights them off. She'd come again to see him, to try to get to know him..and he...he had a sister.

Hearing the little words that come out of Kaylee's mouth and her trying to say his name another crack formed...family and love. A small smile spreads across Trey's face as he stands. Not saying anything Trey stands and walks over to Cindy and Kaylee. Bending down  a little bit to be eye level with the little girl he holds out a finger to her to grab on.

   "Hey there Squirt. You're a cute little thing aren't you? I bet you know it too huh?"

Trey never told anyone he always wanted a sister and now knowing he did...he could feel his heart beat a little faster in his chest. This feeling...it was...it was warm and fuzzy. He had a sister, so small, so impressionable. Her tiny little fingers, eyes and nose she was just so cute.

   "I bet your being a good girl for mom huh?"

Mom...the word just seemed to slip out of Trey's mouth and it felt nice. Cindy was his mom, she hadn't given up trying to get to know him and here she was again. The word it...it didn't seem so bad after all. DId she really care and want to get to know him?

Looking up at Cindy Trey's eyes search hers for a long moment. So much emotion laid in his eyes. Mixed emotions, Broken heart, the tortures of a past never forgotten.

   "Would...would you like to go to lunch with me? It's gotta be better than sitting here."
