chapter 3

After an uneventful night, I take Ruby and call Anna. " Are you ready. "

" All good, just wait there. I'll go to your place in a bit. "she replies on the phone.

" ok. " I said

I hang up the phone and look to Ruby and said " let's wait for auntie Anna a bit and go buy you some new clothes, alright? "

"unm" Ruby replies with a nob looking extremely cute.

I couldn't help but lean in for kisses " ah~ My Ruby is so cute, come let papa give you some kisses my darling. "

** baby giggles **

ding~~dong~~

After a few kisses, we heard the doorbell rings. " hey~ come on, let me see little Ruby. " Anna said after I open the door.

" Hi, good morning Ruby." said Anna and she continue " Are you ready to have some new cute clothes? "

** Baby sound ** " I think that's a yes. " I said with a smile.

" so, where to. " Anna ask

" I plan on going to the mall to buy Ruby some clothes, then go grab some lunch and come back home. " I said

" sound good, let's go. "Anna said and get in my car.

I give Ruby to Anna and start the car. " oh right, I have to get a babysitter too. " I said and start to drive the car to the mall.

I drive for 15 minutes and we arrive at the mall.

For the first time, I know what happens when you mix women and shopping together.

We finished everything by lunch And after lunch, we're back home by 1 PM.

" Bye-bye, Ruby! " Anna said to Ruby who was sleeping in my arms and turns to me "see you later, jack. "

"Bye Anna, I'll see you later. " I said then I went inside and close the door.

'I should give dad or mom a call about Ruby.' I thought as I put Ruby on the bed " And I should buy a baby crib for Ruby. "

After that, I got to the living room and take out my phone and think ' who should I call dad or mom ' a bit later I decided to pick dad.

tu~~tu~~" hello, what's the matter jack " the sound of my dad from the phone.

" hello~~dad! I just want to tell you about something. "I said

" ok, so what do you wanna talk about? " dad said " Did something happen over there? " he continues.

" No No nothing happen-...I mean something did happen. " I said " um, uh, so I um became a dad yesterday. " I continue.

I heard dad clear his throat before he says " ahem...can you that again, I didn't hear you very clearly. "

" I said I became a dad yesterday. "I said it very clearly one word at a time and there it is the moment of silence. then I hear him shout " HONEY!!! " and a moment later I could hear my mom said " What are you yelling for? Geez "

" What is it? " mom asks dad.

" It's Jack and you're going to wanna hear this. " dad said, " Jack says he's a dad now. "

oh, I could imagine her face right now. dad said to mom " shocking right. Our son became a dad. go ahead I already put it on speakers."

" Yeah, who would've guessed that our son who's still a vir- "She didn't get to finish it as I yell "MOM!!!"

" ok ok, So who's the mother? " mom

" I don't know- " my mom cut in " what do you mean you don't know? Don't tell me you're having those one night stand I heard about. "

" wha? no, I didn't have a one night stand. She's adopted, ok! "I said and I start to tell them about Ruby.

After talking for a while I agree on taking Ruby to see them tomorrow. After I end the phone call, I go to Ruby's room to check on her.

When I enter her room I saw that she was awake, so I go and check and change her diaper. After that, we go to eat dinner in the dining room then I bath Ruby and take a shower. when we're done we watch TV for a while and it's time for bed.

" Let's continue our bedtime story, shall we. " I said to Ruby and earns a cheerful giggle from her.

" let's see where were we ....ah, "
"Look," she said, taking something out of her pocket. "You have always been good to me." She held in front of him six perfect arrowheads that she had carefully shaped. "Do you like them?" she said. "They are for you."

"Snow White," said the huntsman. "I cannot do this!"

"You can take these," said Snow White.

"That's not what I mean," said the servant.

He dropped to his knees. "How can I say this to you? The Queen, your step-mother, ordered me to kill you," he said. "But I cannot!"

"She did what?" Snow White called out with alarm.

"You must run away!" said the huntsman.

"Far into the woods. Now! And never come back to the castle!"

Snow White turned and ran into the woods as fast as she could. Deeper and deeper she ran. It was getting dark, and the wolves were starting to howl. She tripped and her skirt was torn. Tall tree branches seemed to reach down to the very ground to grab her. She was scratched, bleeding, and scared. Yet she ran on and on.

Then all of a sudden, far away, there was light. Who was living so deep in the woods? She stepped up closer. It was a cottage! Yet no sound came from the cottage, only light from the windows.

"Hello?" she said, knocking softly on the door. "Hello?" No answer. The door was a little bit open. She opened it some more and stepped in. "Hello, is anyone home?"
She looked around. What a mess! She had never seen a messier living room.

As I look at Ruby I saw that she's asleep. I put her on the bed and put a blanket on her.
" good night. " I whisper and give her a good night kiss.
