Like an alert little puppy, Joey suddenly leaned in and took a sniff behind his sister. Immediately, his cool little face scrunched up into a tight grimace. He pinched his nose, backed up two large steps, and announced loudly, "Mommy! Dolly pooped!"
Emmy froze. Both children had mastered potty training a while ago. But Dolly was impatient, and whenever she played too hard, she sometimes completely forgot to go. That sudden squat to the floor had clearly been the moment she lost the battle. An indescribable odor was already beginning to permeate the air.
Emmy quickly held her breath, scooped Dolly up, and sprinted for the bathroom. She set the child down next to the toilet and reached out to pull down her pants. The sheer visual and olfactory assault that accompanied the lowering of the fabric nearly made Emmy black out. She had never handled such a messy situation before. Flustered, she grabbed a wet wipe and tried to clean her up.
She gagged violently. Unable to hold it in, Emmy turned her head away and retched. She fought back the nausea rushing to her head and tried to continue wiping. But the smell was so devastatingly potent that it brought literal tears to her eyes.
She gagged again.
Dolly was already feeling deeply ashamed about soiling her pants, her little cheeks burning red. Seeing her mother wiping her bottom while looking utterly sickened made the little girl's mouth tremble. Her huge eyes instantly filled with tears, and she looked overwhelmingly heartbroken.
"Does Mommy think I am gross? Does Mommy not love me anymore?"
Hearing those words completely shattered Emmy's heart. She quickly turned her head back, desperate to comfort her daughter's sensitive feelings. "No, I do not..."
Another violent gag cut her off. It was a pure physiological reflex she absolutely could not control. Her face flushed with panic as she tried to force the nausea down, explaining frantically, "Mommy loves you very much... really..."
She gagged yet again. Watching her mother look so miserable, Dolly assumed it was just a lie told to placate children. "Mommy is lying! Waah..."
A thin layer of sweat covered her body, and her hair stuck messily to her cheeks. She had never realized taking care of toddlers could be so relentlessly exhausting and chaotic. She had only been watching them for half a day and had already been reduced to a panicking mess. How on earth had her mother survived raising them for nearly two years?
Looking at her disheveled reflection in the mirror, Emmy let out a wry smile. "Jada, please watch them for a moment. I need to take a shower."
"Of course, Ma'am. Take your time."
Emmy stepped into the shower. The warm water washed away the lingering odors but could not wash away the profound fatigue settling in her bones. She had just rinsed off the body wash and had not even grabbed a towel when the bathroom door was suddenly pounded on.
"Mommy! Come play with us! I want to play hide and seek again!"
