Sarah's pov
It's been a week since the incident with my parent. I noticed they were more quiet than usual in fact, they weren't speaking at all.
So, getting home from school this Tuesday afternoon I decided to investigate by asking my siblings some questions and my first target was... Josephine
I entered is into her room after I was done with changing from my school uniform. Once again we weren't given daily assignments being in senior class and all, the school wanted us to concentrate on our final exams.
Our final examinations was commencing in a little more than a week by the way, but all my friends seemed to want to talk about were, who was hot and who wasn't. I won't say they weren't studying at all, they were but, all I'm getting at is, if they applied as much focus as they did to the opposite sex, they would do much more better in their studies.
And that's all I have to say about that.
I entered into my sisters room and saw her feeding Hope, but she was having a difficult time because, my dear niece seemed to find her toys more important than food. And also seemed to think that food should be but in hand first before going into her mouth.
So when my sister puts a spoonful of food her mouth, hope immediately it spits into her hand and puts it back into her mouth. Disgusting I know right? But since she's still a baby, it's kinda funny and cute, at least for me. For my sister... not so much.
"Hope! Stop that's disgusting" My sister scolded her after she had done that six time in a roll. Hope just ignored her and kept at what she was doing making me have to stifle a chuckle because I didn't want to make my presence known just yet. I was enjoying the show a little to much
In a bid to stop her from doing that, my sister held both her hands and put a spoonful of food in her mouth again expecting her daughter to eat it.
But my beautiful niece wasn't having that and immediately spat the contents in her mouth out, spilling it all over my sister's face and shirt, making her gasp in shock.
"Hope!!!" My sister yelled/whined, looking almost ready to cry due to frustration
It was at that point that I couldn't hold in my laughter anymore. I started laughing so hard that both their heads instantly snapped towards me
My sis gave me a glare, saying "you think this is funny?" But hope smiled wildly seeing me and started crawling towards me, stamping all the food particles she had on her unto the ground
"Yeah it is" I said walking towards Hope and picking her up, making Josephine throw me another dangerous glare which made me immediately say "sorry, let me take over from here, go clean up and change"
With a sigh, my sister stood up and walked out of the room, but not before giving her daughter a stern look and saying she would be back in a minute, leaving hope and I alone in the room.
With my still smiling niece in my arm I walked to the drawer in the room and picked up the baby wipes to wipe off her hands, face, knees and every where that needed cleaning.
With that being done I picked up her food, sat on the bed and set her down in front of me.
"Now listen up" I said to her making her look at me with all seriousness
Taking a spoonful of food and placing it in front of her face I said "this goes into your mouth and not... " I paused to picked up her tiny Palm "... your hand"
"So don't take food from your... " I paused to touch her tiny mouth "... mouth and put it into your..." I paused again to pick up her hand once more "... hand. Understood?" I asked
Hope just continued looking at me seriously with squinted eyes like she understood what I was saying
"I'll take that as a yes" I said to her picking up a spoonful of food to put in her mouth again but I paused midway remembering something else.
"Also, if you dare spit food on me, I'll spit right back at you" I said with all seriousness but this time Hope tilted her head and gave me a look like she was say 'bring it on'
I guess we reached an understanding because she ate the rest of her food without acting up. Just as I gave her the last spoon, Josephine walked in with the mop, bucket and broom in hand
"Wow you actually got her to finish the food without yelling, thanks" she said placing the items in her hand down
"Yeah, no big deal" I said handing her the dish and picking Hope up
Suddenly remembering why I came to her room initially, I asked "So, do you have any idea what's up with mom and dad? They've been acting weird"
"Yeah, I noticed a bit but haven't got time to find out with my busy schedule and also handling hope. But whatever it is, it must be huge because mom has never been this quiet" my sister replied
"I know right?" I said
"Why don't you ask Joseph, he works with dad so, he should know I guess? " She said
"Yeah, I'll do that now. He's home right? " I asked her
"Yes, he got back a while ago. Tell me what ever he says. Right now, I need to put hope to sleep and clean up this mess" she answered
"Ok, bye" I said to her, giving Hope a peck before handing her over to my sister
Walking out of her room, I made a beeline to Joseph's and knocked on the door
"Come in" I heard him say and I walked in
"Hello" I said to him seeing him at the reading table in his room studying some documents
"Hi dear, what can I help you with?" He asked looking up from his work
"Well the thing is, I need to ask you a question" I replied
"Alright, shoot" he said
"Do you know what's wrong with mom and dad?" I asked
"What's wrong with them?" He asked back
"Well, they've been acting weird lately" I answered
"How would I know what know what's wrong with them and why would you think to ask me?" He rushed out shifting uncomfortably on his chair
"Because you work with dad in the company?" I answered with a raised eyebrow
"Yeah, but that doesn't mean I know everything. Just forget about it please. Now, leave my room, go to yours and study for your exams" He said making me suspect that he knew more than he was saying
"Ok, no worries. Since, from your attitude, you clearly know what's going on but refuse to tell me I'll find out some other way" I said getting up and walking towards the door
"Sis?" He called making me turn back and see that he had a sad look on his face
"Yeah?" I answered
"Don't go looking for answers that you really wouldn't want to find" he said
With that being said, I walked out of his room more confused than when I walked in.
