Unwarranted Confidence

Yan Huan hoisted her and set her down on the carpet to play by herself. She then sat down and took the call.

"What's up, Luo Lin?"

Yan Huan sat down and passed her hand to the little girl, who nibbled on her fingers and turned to her brothers. The children began communicating through babbling.

Like caterpillars, the twins crawled beside their little sister. The older one claimed Yan Huan's left leg while the younger one wrapped himself around her right. The center spot was reserved for their pretty little sister, of course. 

Back in their mommy's tummy, the twins had hogged all of the nutrients, causing her to be only 1.9 grams when she was born. Now, they finally learned how to be caring, and would reserve the best for their little sister.

Yan Huan picked up her daughter carefully and ensconced her in her lap. The little girl tucked at her clothes and put it into her mouth with the usual intrepidity of toddlers.
