Mel
"Higher mommy!" I giggled as I swung higher in the air.
Mommy took Chris and I to the park while mama and Uncle John set up some furniture at our new house. It was only a couple away from Chris's house so we got to play together a lot.
He was like a protective older brother and I already loved him so much.
"Be careful Mellie (melody) not too high."
But I didn't listen and kept doing higher. Mommy tried to get me to stop, but when I tried I slipped and fell off the swing.
I was really high (for a smol) and landed on my tummy, smacking my head on the ground.
I was in such shock that I didn't even start to cry until I felt arms around me. They cuddled me into their chest and I looked up into Chris's eyes.
Tears ran down my face as I sobbed into his shirt. "My head hurts." I cried. I felt nauseous too.
Suddenly I pushed away from Chris's chest, leaned down, and threw up.
"Baby are you okay?" Mommy had ran over to us and started rubbing my back.
"We go home?"
"Sure baby lets go." Chris picked me up and set me on his hip. I laid my head on his shoulder and started to suck my lip.
My head was throbbing and I just wanted to lay down.
"Chrissy can you cuddle with me at home?"
I could tell he wasn't in little space anymore because of my fall.
"Anything for you pretty girl. Anything at all."
When we got home someone carried me inside. I had my eyes closed the whole time but I could tell it was mommy.
She smelled like vanilla and I loved it so much.
"What happened?" Mama asked rushing up to us.
"Mama I falled off the swing and my head feels icky." I felt her hand on my forehead and I leaned into it.
"Chris baby can you take Melody to her bed?" I felt myself being passed into his arms and I leaned against him. He pressed a kiss to my forehead and whispered happy things in my ear.
"Chrissy go slower pwease? My tum hurts."
I pouted but still refused to open my eyes.
Pretty soon he had my all tucked in bed against his chest. I held his shirt in my hand as I drifted off to sleep.

"She fell off the swing Liz and I'm really worried. I think we need to watch her for a concussion. She threw up at the park and is refusing to open her eyes."
Tears gathered in her eyes and I hugged her to my chest. "Shhh baby it's gonna be okay. She's gonna be fine you know Melody is tough."
She cried quietly in my chest while I rubbed her back. "I gotcha love. It's okay."
"We need to make sure she's okay." Liz said.
"I know. We'll protect her. That's our job."
She smiled and kissed me.
