Ronnie is cute. You haven't really noticed her before, but it's hard to believe that she is her mother's daughter. Her hair is a cloud of golden curls which, according to Emily, are a real pain, being prone to tangles. She has big brown eyes like a puppy and the same sort of energy. When you arrive, Emily has just got her out of the bath and she is wrapped in a big fluffy towel.

"You're early," she says, laying Ronnie out on the couch and going to work on the wriggling, giggling girl to get her dry.

"Sorry, would you like me to come back later," you say, although according to your watch you are right on time.

She laughs and blows a raspberry on the naked toddler's belly. "Nah, it won't take a minute to get her into bed. There is Coke in the fridge if you want some."

You sit on the armchair, sipping Coke out of the can, while she gets Ronnie ready for bed. Watch her a minute will you," she says, and without waiting for a reply she goes out of the room into what you assume is Ronnie's bedroom. Ronnie is laying naked on the towel, doing her best to suck her toe and you have a clear view of her little baby pussy.
