Vanessa got dressed that morning in her jeans and a long sleeved shirt with black tennis shoes. She put her hair up in a bun as she walked to her daughter, Sascha's room and opened the door. She wasn't up yet so she kept the door open as she walked towards the kitchen to get breakfast started. She made oatmeal with a bowl of strawberries and pouring two glasses of orange juice. Walking back towards her daughter she gently woke her up and got her dressed in her favorite outfit. It was pink pants with hearts on the pockets in the back and a pink long sleeved shirt with a heart on the breast pocket. She did her daughter's hair up in a ponytail putting in a pretty pale pink ribbon.
She put Sascha in her booster seat at the kitchen table and sat next to her in her own chair. The table wasn't very big but it was big enough for the two of them as well as two guests. As they ate her daughter told her of all the things she wanted to do today making Nessa smile in response. When they finished eating, Nessa washed the dishes while her daughter went to brush her teeth. She sighed thinking about everything that she had to do and how sometimes she felt like quitting. However no matter how much she wanted to give up she wouldn't because her daughter needed her to be strong.
After they both had brushed their teeth and put on their shoes they left the apartment after feeding Chocolate and Oreo their kittens. They walked hand and hand down the street, pointing out different things they saw along their path. They counted how many dogs they saw and how many people with kids they saw, they giggled as they walked around.
Nessa was pointing something out to her daughter when someone ran right into her causing her to fall flat on her back. She let go of her daughter's hand so she wouldn't take her baby down with her. She felt the wind get knocked out of her and was shocked. She looked up at the person who had knocked her over but couldn't see past the sun baring down on her.
