Watchful Eye

     Cacie splashed in the small puddles while her mother watched carefully from the porch. It was the typical dark and dreary day that the Darous family had grown to love. Since the move to the modest country home Tanya had found herself with more time for her family. As the wind picked up it blew the yellow rubber hat off of Cacie's head sending it into the mud. Without hesitation Cacie put the now muddy hat back onto her golden colored hair. 

     Tanya laughed at the silliness of her little girl. Continuing to giggle she took the hat off of Cacie examining the mud it left on her daughters head. "Stay here my silly little duck, i'll go get a towel." Tanya was not worried as Cacie was now six years old and knew her boundaries. As Tanya bent down to reach a towel in the pantry she felt a kick in her stomach one of the many blessing that came with being pregnant. "Hold on little one ill be sitting on the porch in a minute. I just need to take care of your big sister first." Just as she was about to get up she heard the rumble of an old car with the following of slamming doors. Assuming that it was just her husband she took her time getting up and walking back outside to go clean up her beloved daughter. 

     Upon reaching outside Tanya dropped the yellow duck themed towel that her daughter loved and drew out her cell phone punching in the numbers as fast as she could.

     "911 What's your emergency?"
