Emery looked up when she saw a baby and their father sat at the table beside them. She looked up from her laptop, quieting down on her phone. “I will call you right back, can send me that e-mail?” she asked the person on the phone before haning up.
“How old are they?” She asked once she placed her phone down.
Emery liked children, but, she was never really around children all that much. She and her brother were the youngest out of the whole family and her two sisters were too worried about careers to settle down for children - must be where she got her work-a-holic ways.
“I’m Emery.”
“She’s nearly one,” Alyx said as he looked down at his sleeping daughter. “ She is a pretty good little lady, rarely cries,” Alyx said with a small shrug. He was shit with talking about babies. Most people would gush about their children. And he loved his little girl with all his heart, he just wasn't one of those parents who wanted to show all the photos of their kids and keep all handmade birthday cards. “My wife is working so I am on dad duty today.” He said with a defeated sigh. “I’m Alyx, nice to meet you, Emery.”
