Baby Can I Hold You

'OK I look like a hooker.' Carrie studied herself in the mirror.



'You do not.'



'Kelly you've got me make up like a hooker.'



'Well those bruises are deep......I tried my best, and hey Ashley is the make up artist in this family....I really don't know what im doing.....want me to call her?' Carrie turned around quickly.



'No...no..the hooker look will do.' Kelly tried to smile but her girlfriend really was looking like a hooker.



'ha ha mommy looks like a clown' Elle smiled at the door.



'Mommy will make your face look like this if your not careful.' Carrie warned holding up the eye liner.



'Elle will shut up now' Elle replied. 'but hey.....'can we put make up on Joey?'



'No we can't why would you ask that' Kelly quizzed.



'You said we could make him like girl things......make up is girl things.' Elle shrugged as she climbed onto Carrie's knee.



'well lets try to not to confuse the poor boy' Kelly sat on in the bed beside them.



'I don't know' Carrie laughed.' I kind of what to see what he would look like.'



'Carrie we are not putting make up on the baby.'



'Not even a little lip gloss......'



Carrie!'



'Sorry' The three girls sat quietly as the tv played in front of them, Carrie turned to the side seeing Kelly with a big smile on her face. 'Your imagining him in the lip gloss aren't you?'



'Yea..' Kelly giggled. 'but we're not doing it.' she said seriously



'Damn...it would have made a great myspace pic.'



'Oh it would have.' Kelly clapped her hands. 'But no..no we're not.'



'You know' Elle began.' I was only joking....you guys are taking it too seriously.'





..................................................





'And the bear ran all the way home.' Closing the book Carrie looked down at Elle. ' OK now sleep.'



'But im still not tired.' Elle complained.



'Ive read you three books....you'll just have to close your eyes...sleep will come.'



'But I want you to stay.....i want you to make me sleep.'



'how?.... reading isnt helping.'



'Sing to me.' Elle suggested..



'Oh honey you couldn't afford me'



'But im your daughter.....i have to pay for concerts?' Elle sat up.



'That means nothing......im very expensive.' Elle lay back down shrugging.



'Just means i'll have to start charging you for my kisses.' Elle gave her biggest sweetest smile.



'Wait..what no...that didn't turn out like I thought it would.' Carrie looked down at her daughter.' Fine what do you want me to sing.'



'mmmmm...oh I know...the song that makes you think of mom.' Carrie looked down impressed with her daughter.



'OK... lay down snuggle in...'Carrie waited for Elle to get comfy, she knew exactly what she would sing. It was a song she would often play to herself when Kelly was with Paul, even though the song was sad it said everything she was feeling at the time.







It's such a sweet feeling

The feeling I get

Close the door, make no noise, keep it a secret

I can't help thinking

We've only just met



I can feel heartache

Comin' my way

Feels so right, the way you are

Come here and kiss me

I can't help thinking

This isn't okay



But I'm lost in you, I'm lost in you

But I'm lost in you, I'm lost in you



Maybe it's easier

To close my eyes

If I can't see him messing you up, keeping you inside

I can't help thinking

This isn't my life



I feel no sadness

When you say he cries

See the way you look at him, keeping it inside

I can't help thinking

This isn't alright



But I'm lost in you, I'm lost in you

But I'm lost in you, I'm lost in you



But I'm lost in you, I'm lost in you

But I'm lost in you, I'm lost in you



But I'm lost in you, I'm lost in you

But I'm lost in you, I'm lost in you





When carrie finished she looked down to find her daughter still awake.



'Ah come on ........this is not how it happens in the movies.....the kids always asleep.'



'Im not a movie' Elle shrugged. Shaking her head Carrie picked up her daughter taking her out the room where they found Kelly sitting on the floor.



'She totally played you.' Kelly giggled ' and I loved my song.' She whispered.



'Yea yea ok ...im a sap and now we have a guest in bed tonight'



'yea' Elle held up her hand waiting for Kelly to high five her.
