Hope's Little Blessings Daycare Novels & Stories

I could feel a twinge of happiness in me as Raymond watched my every move while dressing Hope for school. In the process of getting Hope ready for school, we heard a knock on the door. “You can come in,” I said politely to the person at the door. “Good morning, ma'am. I'm here to get Hope down for breakfast.” “Okay, almost done. There you go. Perfect, now you are ready for school, my love,” I said to Hope as I tucked in his little shirt for school. "Bye, mummy, bye, Daddy,” Hope said, rushing out of the room.

We sang to her. She smiled. She said Dada. Luca held her close. Grace woke. I got her. I nursed her. Claire came over. She brought presents. A doll. A book. A blanket. Hope hugged the doll. She said baby. Claire laughed. The real Grace came over. She brought a stuffed bear. Hope hugged the bear. She said bear. Grace smiled. We ate cupcakes. Hope made a mess. Luca cleaned her up. Eli took pictures.

Hope greeted with a smile. Gary crouched down and patted her head. "Hey, kiddo," he said. "Is it okay that I'm picking you up?" The little girl nodded. "Yes, mama called and told me." Ms. Pepper cleared her throat, causing Gary to look up and eventually stand. They shook each other's hands as Ms. Pepper said, "I'll leave Hope in your care Mr. Santiago." "Thank you," He nodded. Ms. Pepper took her leave. Gary offered to carry Hope but she playfully refused. Instead, he carried her small backpack over his shoulder as her tiny hand held his.

Bree panicked a little thinking her baby might miss her bastard ex-husband. "No, it's just... I hear you cry sometimes." She shrugged holding onto her ice cream. Bree didn't get one, no tasty treats for her, she has been clutching her money extra hard. "Well, I think you heard me cry when I bumped my toes against the bathtub." The little girl giggled, telling her that she should be more careful. While Bree took that as a note to cry quieter next time. They both finally left the park and Bree dropped her off at the daycare just before lunchtime since lunch and snacks are included in the daycare package. Bree went back to their apartment, groomed herself for work then went on doing her chores

When we’re finished eating, I escort them along the plaza, stopping briefly at Little Life so Kasey can check on her daughters. “What is this place?” Darby asks as Kasey checks in at the front desk and the receptionist starts contacting the childcare staff. From her office across from the reception area, Mrs. Knox, the brainchild and owner of Little Life, leans to peek out the door. I smile when she looks our way and immediately, she comes out to greet us. She’s an older were, a retired teacher, with steel gray hair and piercing blue eyes that scan me then Darby speculatively before she replies. “Little Life is a childcare and learning center.”

“Three. Jaxon is a diesel mechanic over at Paxton Freight. Jolene is getting her teaching degree. And JD graduates this year and is going into the Navy.” “You are a proud momma. I have Newton who is usually sticky. And his sister,” she patted her belly, “will be here in spring. Today he is with my neighbor because he had a bit of a fever. But Willow Rose gives our employees a 40% discount on daycare. Keep that in mind for grands.” “Congratulations.” Helen gushed. “Thank you. Looking forward to the baby shower because I’m craving cake. I’m hoping if I keep saying it, someone will bring me cake.” Her voice got louder as she spoke.

“Somewhere to stay. You’re working now. You have a job, a home. You can help me.” Her voice was pleading, but underneath it, something else. A tremor. A threat she didn’t need to say out loud. “I want to help,” I managed. “But I have three kids. Rent and daycare eats a large—” “Three boys,” she said softly. Then her tone changed. “Luca, Mateo, and Noah. They go to Little Sprouts on Fifth. You pick them up every day at 5:30.” Everything inside me went still.

"Now go. Get that precious boy of yours and get back to Crestwood. And Aria... be careful. Please. I can't bear to lose you." "You won't." I squeezed her hands, then turned to Mara. "Ready?" Mara nodded, her expression was grim but it was determined. "Let's go get our boy." --- The emergency daycare was a small, cheerful building that was tucked away in a quiet corner of Millbrook. The moment I pushed open the door, I heard Caelum's laughter echoed from somewhere inside. "Mommy!" Caelum screamed when hespotted me the instant I walked in, his face lighted up and he launched himself off the small chair that he'd been sitting on and ran toward me, his little legs carrying him as fast as they co

"Don't let them see us!" We walked a little further away, and she stopped us again, taking a card from her pocket. "This is my private number. If you need me, call. Nobody has to know." I take the card in my hand, looking down at it. It reads Harris House rescues. "I appreciate your concern, Hope. I may be out of line, but you should have more faith in your son. I will admit he has some issues, but I accept and love the man he is. Maybe if he felt the same here, it wouldn't have taken a funeral for you to get him home. Excuse me." I said trying not to lose my shit in front of her, I hurried away back to Wesly's bedroom.
