With a soft smile, Sabrina stroked Jennies back, whispering, Sleep tight. If you want to pee, let me know.
Alright.
Having skipped her afternoon nap, she swiftly drifted into slumber.
Sabrina also gradually fell asleep.
In her sleep, vivid dreams took form.
She envisioned herself in a hospital, a baby placed beside her. It was apparent the child was hers.
Gazing at the baby in the bed with a gentle smile, she said softly,
Starting today, Little one, your name is Ellen.
Within the dream, she cradled and rocked the baby.
Suddenly, the baby vanished from her embrace.
A chill gripped Sabrina, waking her from her dream-filled sleep. The room was dimly lit.
It dawned on her that it was merely a dream.

She stretched her hand to the phone on the nightstand and checked the time. It was just five oclock in the morning.
Peering at the peacefully slumbering Jennie, Sabrina playfully tapped her tiny cheek, a smile forming on her lips.
Maybe it was Jennie who stirred up her longing for children deep inside, causing her to have such a dream.
The mere thought of distancing herself from Jennie weighed heavily on her conscience.
Closing her eyes, she drifted back to sleep.
Awakening around seven, Jennie was still lost in her dreams
Sabrina, feeling refreshed, got out of bed, tended to Bun, freshened up, and started on breakfast.
She made two wholesome sandwiches; slices of bread Layered with steak, a sunny-side-up egg, fresh lettuce, ripe tomato, and a sprinkle of cheese. She also whipped up a creamy egg custard specially for Jennie.
As the steak sizzled, Jennie, rubbing the sleep from her eyes, walked out of the room, calling out, Aunt Sabrina?
Spotting Sabrina exiting the kitchen, Jennie excitedly scampered over, exclaiming, Aunt Sabrina!
