NovelBookGilbert nervously stood up, his guilt written all over his face, "Sherilyn, it's my fault, I should have listened to you." "Mommy! Jenna was wrong, I should've listened to mommy," Jenna chimed in, mimicking the grown-ups.
"See?" Gilbert swallowed hard, pointing towards the pie, trying to make amends. "Actually, I just gave her a couple of bites, didn't dare to give her more." "Yep, yep!" Both echoing each other, one after the other.
Sherilyn couldn't help but laugh and cry at the stime, lifting Jenna up, "Tto eat properly now." "Okay!" Sherilyn glanced at the pie, now missing a slice, worried Jenna might have trouble digesting it if she ate too much, "Eat only if you can, don't force yourself if you're full." "I can eat!" Jenna held up her little spoon, "Baby can eat now!" Sherilyn couldn't help but burst into laughter, patting her daughter's head. "Jenna, you're amazing." But truly, Jenna's appetite seemed better lately, whether it was because she was growing or the new doctor had adjusted her treatment plan, Sherilyn couldn't be sure. Worn out from the afternoon's play, Jenna couldn't keep her eyes open on the way back, dozing off in Sherilyn's arms.
Sherilyn hugged her, staring out the window in silence.

"Does it matter if I agree?" Sherilyn's laugh was full of scorn, "You've already done it, now you're asking if it's okay?" Gilbert fell silent, unable to refute, his brows furrowed.

"No, it's alright," Sherilyn brushed off, gently dodging his offer with a shake of her head. "I've got this, you should go."

[Did you make it?] Sherilyn replied promptly.
It was a photo - Jenna lying in bed, covered with her little blanket.
