She's What!
"And she's asleep again," April playfully told Nick, making him laugh a little as he got closer to her. "It appears she is," Nick playfully told April back, making them both laugh. "Well what should we do to pass the time," April asked Nick, making him blush as he leaned into her and April laughed and followed.
"Well we could always," Nick began, but was stopped by April who had started to kiss him making him blush as he kissed back. They were both so into their romantic moment that they didn't even notice that the small girl had started to stir and was now awake.
"Ewwww! Yucky!" Mal called out in disgust causing both April and Nick's eyes to widen in shock as they both immediately pulled away in embarrassment. "Mal you're up," April quickly told the small girl hoping to distract her and change the subject.
It didn't seem to work though as Mal just fake gagged. "You yucky," Mal told the young couple, making April and Nick feel very uncomfortable as they had been waiting to do that until after Mal had fallen asleep for this exact reason.
"Mal we were just um..." April began trying to think of an excuse and Nick quickly joined in as well hoping to help back her up. "Yeah we were just um," Nick began as well trying to help, but he was saved when the door opened as the nurse entered.
"Am I interrupting anything? I was just coming to check up on the little patient," the nurse told the young couple as she could tell something was off with them, but that wasn't her job. "Nope everything is fine. Go ahead," April quickly told the nurse just wanting out of the uncomfortable situation she was in before.
April and Nick both wanted to scream though when Mal didn't get the memo as she just smiled at the nurse. "Dey wew kissing! An I dink they wew twing to eat each other," the young girl told the nurse, making the nurse laugh at the innocent little girl while both April and Nick were turning red from embarrassment as they couldn't believe Mal actually had said that to the nurse.
"Oh I see well maybe I should come back then," the nurse told the small girl and April and Nick both nodded in agreement as they were already way too embarrassed at this point. "Alright well I'll take that as a yes. I'll be back later," the nurse quickly told everyone as she quickly left not wanting to cause anything.
As soon as the nurse left April turned to the naive little girl that was playing with her dragon oblivious to what she had just done. "Okay Mal we have to talk about something," April told the small girl who immediately put down her dragon as she filled with panic. She noticed that tone of voice that was the tone that her old mommy used to use when she did something bad.
"Did I do somefing bad I sowy! I no me to! Pwease no owie!" Mal cried out as tears started to fall from fear again. "Mal it's okay we're not mad at you and you know we would never hurt you," Nick told the small girl as both him and April pulled her close to them as they forgot how sensitive Mal was and they were feeling horrible for scaring her.
"You not," Mal asked in shock and the young couple both just nodded sadly as they hated having to explain that to the innocent little girl.
"No Mal we're not but Mal there is something that we need to talk about. Mal you know there are some stuff that we share and some stuff that we keep private. Mal you can't tell people about personal stuff like what you told that nurse. That is something that should be kept private okay," April explained to the small girl hoping that Mal will learn her lesson.
Mal just looked at April in confusion though as she didn't understand why she couldn't share stuff like that. "Otay bu why," Mal asked April, making her sigh as she knew this was going to be more difficult than she had hoped for.
"Because Mal it's embarrassing and we don't embarrass family okay," April told Mal and sighed in relief when Mal nodded in understanding as she finally seemed to get it. "Otay!" Mal told April as she went back to watching her show.
"Alright well crisis averted," April playfully told Nick, making him laugh as they all watched TV on Mal's tablet again as they didn't have anything else to do. Mal was being discharged soon anyway since they had been there for a few days now and Mal was recovering well.
"Hey sorry to interrupt but I was working on the discharge papers and I noticed something that I thought might be off. You said she was 4 correct," the nurse asked the young couple as she came back into the room making April and Nick look at each other in concern before nodding in agreement.
"Um yeah why?" April asked the nurse not understanding what was going on, but she was starting to worry a little. "Just because according to her birth certificate she's only 2," the nurse told April and Nick, making them both look at her in shock.
"What! How is that even possible," April asked the nurse in shock as last time she had checked Mal was four and definitely not two. Mal wasn't as advanced as a four year old, but she was way more advanced than a two year old there was no way Mal was only two but now this nurse was telling her otherwise.
"I don't know what's going on, but according to her birth certificate she's only 2. I just wanted to make sure I didn't record something wrong when working on the paperwork and I discovered that," the nurse told April who just nodded still in shock.
"You're sure she's only 2," April asked the nurse as she was still having a hard time trying to process it. "According to her birth certificate yes and she actually just turned 2 actually," the nurse told April and Nick who just nodded still in shock.
"Okay thank you for telling us," April told the nurse who nodded as she left. Once the nurse left, April just looked at Nick as was starting to freak out. She had no clue how to deal with a toddler. A preschooler she could handle, but not a toddler.
"Mal," April called out, getting the oblivious toddler's attention as she looked up from her show. "Yes mommy," the small girl asked April, making her sigh. "Why did you say you were 4?" April asked the newly discovered two year old as Mal had told her she was four when that was clearly not true.
April wasn't mad at the toddler, but she did want to know why Mal lied about her age. "Mommy sa so," the small girl told April who just nodded. "That monster told you that you were 4?" April asked the toddler who smiled and nodded as she went back to watching her favorite show.
"April her mom clearly lied to her," Nick told April after a few seconds of awkward silence as they were both trying to process the information. "Yeah but why would she do that?" April asked not understanding why that monster had to lie to Mal about her own age.
April already despised Mal's creator, but hearing that she lied to her about her own age too was making her despise that monster more and more. What kind of person lies about their child's age.
"Who knows why that monster does anything," Nick told April who nodded as she knew Nick was right.
"Oh god well what do we do now! How do you even look after a toddler," April started rambling out in panic making Nick laugh as he found April's reactions to be hilarious. "April a preschooler and a toddler are not that different. And besides we've been looking after Mal for some time now, so why does anything have to change," Nick told April trying to ease her worries even though he knew that there was a pretty big difference between a two year old and a four year old, but he didn't want to tell her that.
"Okay yeah you're probably right," April told Nick as she began to calm down. "Yeah and you know it makes more sense," Nick told April who just looked at him in confusion not understanding what he was getting at.
"What does?" April asked Nick who just laughed as he looked at the toddler that was still just playing on the tablet happily and oblivious to everything around her. "Her age being wrong. I always thought she seemed younger than her age and it's because she actually was. And her speech too," Nick told April who nodded as she had to admit she had thought the same.
"I guess you're right about that," April told Nick who just laughed as they packed up their bags since they were being discharged finally. "Yeah well we have a toddler now," Nick playfully told April, making her laugh as she helped Mal change, so they could leave.
"I guess we do. Well this is about to get more interesting," April playfully told Nick back, making him laugh as they signed out and got in the car. "Oh yeah we're definitely in for some fun new challenges," Nick playfully told April back, making her laugh.
"Yeah but at least we're going home," April told Nick back, making him laugh as he nodded in agreement as they both knew that they were definitely in for some harder challenges, but they were ready for this and they were happy to finally be going home.
