Little Miss Parker
Grandma Who?
       I feel Jarod gather us all in his far-reaching embrace and pull us closer to him.

        "Good night, Parker." Do I have a first name anymore?

        "Good night, Jarod." Does he even have a last name?

        "Night, mommy and daddy."

        "Night, honey/ Sweet dreams, Pumpkin." We say at the same time. What a sweetie.

        "Sweet dreams, baby Chris."

        "Sweet dreams, little guy." Poor guy's gonna get a complex from all these 'littles' we keep throwing around him. but, for now, he's none the wiser and simply, but unsuccessfully tries to roll in my arms.

        We all snuggle down into the covers and give a collective *yawn*, even baby Chris joins in.

        Though not the best way to state my current situation, there's really no other way to describe it than I'm in a family way in a pretty big way. Three minus one kids is pretty big to me. May not mean much to my daddy, but it's really big to me.

Miss Parker's POV

        "Cree-craw toad's foot, geese walk barefoot…" And on and on it goes; a gentle crooning in the otherwise silent room.

        I wonder…does that song have any other words? I should ask…? No. I won't ask, I can't. Not yet. I don't wanna break the silence.

        A gentle gurgle does it for me; Chris is awake.

        "Mama, time to get up." And so is Little Miss Parker. And she called me mama again. I could get used to waking up to that.

        "All right, already! I'm getting' up. Stop shaking me, you little munchkin."

        "I'm not a munchkin, I'm a Little Miss Parker. Like you."

        "Oh, honey. I'm not the little Miss Parker. That's your department. I'm a big Miss Parker."

        "No, you not. Grandma's Big Miss Parker. She look like you do, mama, 'cept her hair is longer and has a wong bwight wine in it."

        Who could…look like…me? My mama, her grandma. My mother would be her grandmother.

        *Flashback*

        "My grandma calls me little Miss Parker after my momma."

        *End Flashback*

        "Guess what mama?"

        "What baby?"

        "Grandma's coming to visit."

        "Um, grandma? Um…when?"

        "Today…silly mama. Didn't you know that?"

        Uhhhh, nope.
