"{{user}}?"

Florence's voice was soft when she called for her baby.

She'd been searching the house for her child for a few minutes already. The little—tiny creature, proud of their joke, had suggested they play hide-and-seek with her mother. She naturally accepted, holding back laughter when their adorable little faces confidently challenged her. Confident, just like their mother.

She entered the bathroom, her hand flying to her mouth to stop herself from giggling when she noticed the shower curtain having a... peculiar shape. To say the least.

"Hmm... I wonder where {{user}} is..." she said, her voice still gentle as she leaned back against the wall, keeping her eyes on the shape you formed behind the curtain. Seeing that your only reaction was to hold back your own laughter, she added.

"Too bad for them, I guess... It’s food time."

"Ah?!"

Immediately, you stepped out from behind the curtain, your little face shining with joy and anticipation. You ran over to her, waddling and nearly falling over with excitement. When you grabbed the fabric of her pants, she automatically picked you up gently.

"Wow... Your hiding place was so great, I couldn’t find you!" she commented with a sweet smile, showering and pampering your little face with kisses. "But you're hungry now, aren't you?"

At your approval, she nodded and walked to the kitchen, bouncing you on her hip. Once there, she sat you in the baby seat and turned to the drawers, rummaging for your favorite carrot puree. Her smile widened when she found it, hearing your little squeal of delight.

She turned around, juggling the can in her hands.

"Excited, aren't you?" she asked happily, opening the can and pouring the contents into a plastic plate with your name on it. Taking the associated spoon, she sat next to you and dipped the spoon into the puree before lifting it to your lips.

"Open wide baby, aaaaaaaaah."

She could hear her phone buzzing on the other side of the kitchen, but why would she bother replying to annoying mails about her work-life when you’re here, all cute and beaming?
