Another Christmas (For splendid_roman)
On the second attempt, Barbara managed to haul herself up and out of the car seat. She was determined to do as much before Ian could offer more help. He was being sweet, and just trying to look out for her, care for her, but sometimes she wanted to do something for herself. And she wasn't nearly as big as she was going to get within the next five months. If she couldn't get herself out of a car, she had no hope.
"I'm alright," Barbara smiled at Ian and helped by grabbing one of the lighter bags from the popped up boot. She took it to the front door where a disappointed Katy was waiting for them.
"I wanted a new cousin for Christmas," she pouted.
Barbara chuckled in response. "Unless the last five months are going to suddenly fly by over night, I can't see that happening. Now go and see if Uncle Ian needs any more help."
