You stare blankly at the tv, bored out of your mind. You begin to blank out. Eventually, you fall asleep. You wake a few hours later, and see you are in your crib. Your mom walks into the room with Nick.
"Ok, Nick. I have to go on a trip for a few days. You can handle your sister by yourself, right?" she asks Nick.
"Yes, mom. We'll be fine." Nick replies.
"Ok. See you next week. Bye Kim. Mommy loves you." your mom says, kissing your forehead. Nick picks you up.
You two wave to your mom from the walkway outside of the front door. She pulls out, and Nick carries you back inside.
"Kim, do you want to watch a movie?" Nick asks you.
You nod, and he carries you into the living room. He puts you in the playpen. You begin to complain.
"Kim, I have to do some work, and I don't want to risk you falling off the couch. And your playpen has got to be more comfy than the floor, right?" Nick says. You shrug, and nod. "Do you want to sit up or lay down?" he asks.
"Sit up." you say.
"Ok. Do you want a bottle?" he asks.
"I want a cup." you say.
"You're not big enough for a cup, K." Nick says. You pout.
"Ok." you say.
"Milk, juice, or water?" he asks.
"Water." you say. Nick goes to the kitchen, and gets you a bottle full of cold water.
"Ok, Kim, here you go." he says, giving you your bottle.
He turns on the movie for you. It is Monsters Inc, your favorite movie. Nick leaves the room. You watch the movie intently, drinking your water. You are still embarrassed about the bottle, but you were thirsty, so whatever. As the movie progressed, you finished your water.
"Nick!" you call. Nick walks in.
"Did you finish your bottle, Kim?" he asks. You nod.
"Do you want more water?" he asks. You nod, and your big brother gets you more water.
"Call me if you want anything else, ok Kim?" he says, and you nod, resuming your movie. Nick leaves the room. The movie is going to end soon. You are at the part where Sully has to take Boo back to her door. You start crying. This was the saddest part of the movie! Nick runs in.
"What's wrong, Kim?" he asks, picking you up. You point to the tv, crying into Nick's shoulder.
"Oh, I see. I know this part makes you sad, sis." he says, rubbing your back. He sits on the couch, you on his lap. He gives you a big hug. You stop crying. You finish the last few minutes of the movie. You still have water left. Nick puts you back in your playpen, and you pick up your bottle. You begin to drink from it. Nick laughs. You immediately throw down the water, embarrassed.
"What's so funny?' you pout.
"You're too adorable, Kim." he says, kissing your head. He gives you your bottle, and you finish your water. Nick checks his watch. It is 6:30 pm.
"What do you want for dinner?" he asks.
"Spaghetti." you reply. So, Nick makes some spaghetti and meatballs. He cuts your's up, and feeds you.
"I can eat this myself." you say, taking the fork. You get sauce all over your lips and chin. Nick laughs, and gets a napkin. He wipes off the sauce. When you are both done eating, Nick loads the dish washer. He picks you up, and takes you to the living room. The two of you sit on he couch, and watch The Fosters. You'd recently started watching it together. You loved it. After a couple episodes, Nick picks you up, and carries you to your room. He quickly changes you, and puts some pajamas on you. He is about to put you in your crib.
"Nick, wait." you say. "What, Kim?" he asked.
"Can you hold me for a few minutes?" you ask.
"Sure." Nick says.
So, he carries you to the rocking chair, and holds you. You fall asleep in your big brother's arms.
