My baby doll is still crying and trembling in my arms as I try to calm her down.
"Doll, we can have ice creams after the shot." I tell her.
She looks up to me considering my bribe.
"Chocolate and gum?" She asks innocently.
"You want to have two? We can have two but only if you be a good girl for me." I tell her.
She nods and I breathe a sigh of relief.
"What will happen once I get the meds?" She asks.
"Baby the shot is only to help you get relaxed and let go so that you can slip into your headspace whenever you want to." I explain.
"So it wont impair my ability to think and process information like an adult?"
"No! What made you think that! “I tell her slightly horrified.
She hides her face into my arms once more.
"So, umm m... can't we like ..." she wants to say something but she hesitates.
"Go on baby... tell me what is it?" I encourage her to speak her mind.
