Be My Baby
appearance.
    "Dad, it's important that you know that Trey
was the first and only man that I've ever been with up until last
night. He is the only man that I had ever intended to be with after
our first time together. I couldn't let Danny go on with what we
were doing. I stopped it but I know that it still counts as an
unfaithful act against Trey."
    "Tylar - this is something that you need to
work out with Trey. I am certainly not one to pass judgment on
infidelities. If you recall, my infidelity to my fiancé is what
brought you into the world. I can tell you that your husband loves
you dearly. When he left here this morning he left devastated. He
didn't say a word to me about anything."
    "Oh Dad," I sighed, "I bet Mom is looking
down from heaven totally disappointed in her daughter."
    "Not my sweet Marley," he said, "She would
want you to not dwell on your mistakes but learn from them."
    There was a tap on the door just then. It
was Edie with Preston.
    "Someone is asking for Mama," she said
smiling holding Preston's hand as they walked into the room.
    "Mamma," Preston said smiling and running
over to the bed.
    My father scooped her up giving her a kiss
on her cheek.
    "I will leave you two alone to spend some
time together. Tylar I will see you at dinner?"
    "Yes Dad," I said as I scooped Preston up
and pulled her close to me. "You will see us both."
    Once alone in the suite I turned the
television on while Preston and I sat on the bed taking turns
putting a wooden puzzle together. She was really getting good at
it. I noticed that she had passed some gas several times while we
played.
    "Preston, would you like to sit on a
big-girl potty?" I asked her excitedly.
    She stuck her index finger in her mouth
biting on her nail. She saw me smiling as if whatever I had
proposed to her was going to be lots of fun.
    "Uh-huh," she said, smiling.
    "Okay, come on sweetie," I said, lifting her
from the bed. I grabbed one of her story books from the nightstand.
Once in the bathroom I laid her on the bathroom rug and removed her
leggings and then her wet diaper.
    I sat her on new potty chair and promptly
opened the storybook and started reading to her so that she
wouldn't try to get up. I pointed out the pictures in the book,
naming the characters for her. Thankfully she was totally involved
in the books. I was on the second book when I saw her little face
get red and heard her audibly grunt. I kept reading as if I wasn't
aware of what she was doing. Several minutes later I could tell
that she was finished. She wanted to get off the potty so I stopped
reading.
    "Oh look Preston," I said excitedly,
pointing to the bowl of the potty chair. "Preston is a good girl.
She made doody in the potty."
    I clapped my hands smiling at her. She
grinned showing her dimple and giggled. I continued to praise her
for going potty like a big girl. I grabbed a baby wipe and
explained that we wiped our bottoms once we were finished on the
potty.
    I emptied her bowl into the toilet and
flushed. She was crushed that I had disposed of her 'doody'
    She looked up at me and whined, "Mamma -
doodee . . . doodee."
    "Don't cry baby girl," I said laughing. "You
will have lots more doody. We will tell grandpa about you going
potty like a big girl too."
    "Pappaw?" she asked sniffling.
    "Yes sweetie, Grandpa will be so proud of
Preston."
    I went ahead and put a diaper on her. I had
neglected to buy training pants for her. I would remedy that
tomorrow.
    I could tell she was ready for her nap. I
put her in her crib with a couple of her stuffed toys. She was
yammering away to them for a few minutes and then it was silent. I
checked on her and she was sleeping soundly sucking her thumb. She
was so much like Trey I thought as I pulled her blankie up to her
waist.
    I went back into my room seeing that it was
now after 3:00 p.m, I figured Trey should be home. I took a deep
breath as I picked my Blackberry up and phoned him. I was nervous
as hell. What if he didn't answer?
