Quinn saw that she had a package at the post office. She looked at her watch and saw she had enough time to go pick it up,
"Might as well. If I don't do it now, it will sit there forever." She loaded Mac back in her SUV, she traded the car but there was no need for a damn minivan. She took Mac in the post office and when the man came back with a huge box she sighed,
"Oh great. What the heck? Are you sure that's for me? I didn't order anything from FAO Schwartz." He shrugged,
"Your name is on it." She nodded and he looked at Mac,
"I can take this out to the car for you." Quinn smiled gratefully,
"Could you? That would be so nice." He followed her to the truck and placed it in the back, it barely fit, she held her breath the entire time he struggled with it. She buckled Mac back in and was on her way home,
"Your uncle is going to spoil you rotten."
She placed Mac in her playpen and drug the box into her house,
"Ok Mac, let's see what he got you." She opened the box and laughed at all the toys, taking note that they all looked noisy, she would have to thank her brother for that. It wasn't until she saw a little chair that had Daddy's Little Girl on it did she realize it wasn't from her brother at all. Could it be Nick? No way, she had only talked to him once in the past month. But leave it to Nick to get a now five month old a chair, she couldn't even walk yet. She shook her head,
"He doesn't know any better sweetie, but at least he thought about you. That's a start." She pulled out all the toys, the stuffed animals and she and Mac started having fun.
She was trying to feed Mac, but without any success, once again Mac was crying hard and loud. The phone rang and she ran to pick it up,
"Hello." She heard laughing,
"Wow, all she do is cry." She was not in the mood,
"Shut up Nick ok? I'm tired, she's been crying forever, I can't get her to stop and I'm losing it while you're off somewhere partying." She began to cry and soon he was attempting to comfort her,
"Baby, baby I'm sorry ok? I'm sorry, I know you're tired and stressed out. I'm sorry.Ok, hold on." She placed Mac down and put on the headphones for the phone,
"Are you there?" There was no answer,
"Hello? Nick?" She was almost ready to hang up when she heard him,
"Ok, hey you there?" She nodded,
"Yeah." She continued to bounce Mac but nothing was working,
"Have you tried to feed her, burp her or change her?" She sighed,
"Of course Nick. It's not that. Lately she's been crying a lot."
"OK, put her in her car seat or do you have one of those little bouncy chair things?" She looked around and saw it in the corner,
"Yeah." What was he doing? She knew he was not going to try and give her advice,
"Put her in the chair thing, place her on the washing machine or the dryer and turn it on." She sighed,
"Nick that's not gonna wo-" He interrupted her,
"Have you tried it before?" She shook her head and gave in,
"No." He laughed,
"Ok, well try it." She shook her head as she placed Mac in her little chair and placed her on the dryer, if this worked she was shipping Mac off to be with him. After a minute not only did she quiet down but she drifted off to sleep,
"Oh my God." she whispered,
"It worked, where did you get that from?" She sat down on the floor and decided to let her sit there a bit longer just in case,
"The internet." She shook her head,
"The internet Nick? What the....don't tell me to do something to my daughter you found on the internet, weirdos put stuff on the internet." He laughed,
"Hey you can get a lot of information on the internet. Did you know I'm really good in bed and I have a big penis?" Did he forget who he was talking to, she thought. She laughed,
"Oh really?" He laughed again,
"Yeah, I read it on the internet." She laughed,
"Big and good huh? Well I definitely didn't put that on there. They must have never slept with you." She could hear him gasp,
"Hey, if I remember you weren't doing any complaining." Her smile left her face and she shook her head, remember your boyfriend this time Quinn,
"Yeah well, those days are done. Well thanks for helping me with her, I'm gonna take advantage of this and go to sleep myself." She was happy that he called even if it was short,
"Ok, talk to you later." She wasn't going to hold her breath,
"Oh Nick. Thanks for the toys."
"No problem. I hope she likes them, I just picked out the stuff I liked playing with." She shook her head, she should have known.
