Grace still sobbed and hiccupped as the loud nasty men were dealt with. Kat took her back from Nikki. [color=6ecff6]"You need to get some sleep,"[/color] she said in a firm but concerned voice. [color=6ecff6]"If you don't, I am not above tying you to the bed to ensure you get sleep."[/color]

Grace reached for Daddy but he left to check around. She started crying again when he walked away without her permission.
[color=6ecff6]"Baby girl he's coming back,"[/color] Kat reassured her, but it didn't have that much of an effect. [color=6ecff6]"Thanks for the help,"[/color] she told the schizoid girl in front of her, not using names because she wasn't sure which personality she was talking to. To be honest it gave her the creeps and she didn't allow Grace to be around the girl alone. She knew the girl couldn't help it, but there was being sympathetic and being safe.

Going back to their room, she slipped on a pair of shorts before grabbing a box of toys and heading for the gym. They were in the process of securing it so she felt safe going there with Grace. Setting the box on the floor, she set Grace down and watched her. It was one of the problem solving situations she put the baby in to help her mind grow.
True to her smart nature, Grace crawled over to the box and used the edge of it to pull herself up to her feet and look inside. She squealed at her discovery of toys and started pulling them out.
Soon she was on the floor of the gym throwing and chasing the toys around and laughing. Kat joined her in playing, smiling warmly. Every time the door opened the baby looked up, probably looking for Daddy.
