29 July 2039 6:15 pm “Patrick,” Penelope was saying for the hundredth time. “If even a single one of your daughters is missing when you get here, I will send you all back home. Do you understand me?” “Are you absolutely sure? Mum said-” “Positive. I mean, this place probably wasn’t made for eight people, but a little closeness never hurt anyone.” “Carol and Emmy, and especially Carol, they’re sort of like setting fireworks off in a china shop.” Penelope laughed. “Well, then it’s good that we never got around to buying any.” “Penny…,” “And you weren’t? I grew up with you just fine.” “I wasn’t like this.” “They’ll be fine,” Penelope assured him again. “I really am worried that we’ll scare you to death.” “I doubt it. Regardless, we’re having one, and she’ll definitely be a baby before she is three or five or seven. We have time to get ready for the Carol phase.” Actually, Penelope had done quite a bit of babysitting, even when she was in school, and she was quite good with children. Maybe not used to keeping track of 25, but decent. It was babies that scared her. She had held each of Patrick’s kids maybe once before they were mobile, because it was expected of her, and that was it. They had seemed too delicate and they couldn’t tell her what they needed or if she was hurting them and that had terrified her. The thought was still sort of frightening. If Patrick was worried about scaring her, Evangeline was the one that he should be worried about, not Carol. Crying erupted in the background. “I’m on duty,” Patrick warned. “Then you’d better see to that,” Penelope told him before hanging up. She wondered how Patrick knew what she wanted, and she was just a little afraid that she’d never get the hang of it. |
