don't wake up please don't wake up begging my four month old baby to sleep or not. Wake up has never worked before so I don't know why. I think this time will be any different. But begging is all I have. I'm holding her so close to my chest. I keep checking. I'm not hurting her. I can feel her stir and I am terrified because if she wakes up she will cry. She always does and if she cries we will die. I'm doing everything I can to get us out of here alive. I am so close I'm at the front door. I fumble with the key and get it opened. I slipped out as fast as I possibly can closing it softly behind me. It's dark and quiet outside and I didn't think of the sound of gravel crunching under my feet when I grabbed my boots it's so loud I have to stop for a moment. I'm only a few feet from the tv. I can't slow down now we only have seconds. That's all. I take a breath and run to the car. It beeps when I open the door then the light comes on inside in my hand shoots out to turn it off. I put Evie down in the baby capsule and her eyes flick open like a doll and then her mouth opens wide. Please don't cry. Evie please baby please don't cry. I hold my breath aviones I closed the door gently but I'm shaking so much that the key slips from my hand and I dropped to the ground. Feeling around for it in the dark. I'm so frightened. Tears are running down my cheeks any second. E. V. Will do the same only a lot louder. Please don't cry. Please don't cry. I sound like I'm praying and I guess I am. And then I feel the plastic square under my fingers. I've got it. I've got the key just as I stand up. A square of light blasts out from the upstairs window illuminating the very spot where I'm standing near the car. I can't help it. I turn around and look up at the house even though it cost me a second. I can't spare. The light that has come on is from the nursery and it's the only light on in the house. My heart explodes when she appears at the window almost slamming herself against the glass, her hands splayed flat against it. Our eyes meet if he starts to cry.
