No toy. My lips tremble and my eyes get really wet feeling.

“Emma, what’s wrong?” Mommy asks.

“She didn’t bring me a toy!” I say. Only I didn’t really say it, I cried it.

Mommy’s mouth pops open like a circle.

Ava tries to give me a hug. “What wrong, Emmy?”

“She was supposed to bring me a yellow duck.” I feel Ava’s tiny arms trying to wrap around my waist as big, super fat tears roll down my cheeks. “She took all my pacifiers and only left me a note. I wanted a stuffed duck.”

Daddy comes out of his room. “What…”

“But, Emma, you didn’t give away all of your pacifiers,” Mommy says, pulling me into one of her hugs. “You kept two of them, remember?”

I nod. “I know.” I try to stop crying but I can’t. I’m so sad.

“The pacifier fairy only brings you a toy when you give away all of your pacifiers.”

Daddy coughs. I look at him then up at Mommy. “All of them.” It’s the worst thing I can imagine. I know five-year-olds don’t use pacifiers, but I want to. I love my pacifiers.

Mommy nods. She looks as sad as I feel. “All of them.”

“O-kay.” But it isn’t ok. I’m so sad and scared. No pacifiers is scary. “I’m not even five yet.”

I hold on to Mommy really tight. Mommy picks me up like she does with Ava. I may be almost five and a big girl, but I still need my mommy to hold me sometimes.

Mommy rubs my back and kisses my head. “I know. You still have a few days to decide what you want to do.”

“Do I have to decide right now?” I hiccup cause crying makes me do that.

“Nope. Right now you have to eat breakfast and get ready to go school. You can think about what you want to do and decide tonight.”

“What if I’m not ready?”

Mommy kisses my head again as she sets my toes touch the floor. “Then maybe you’ll be ready tomorrow.” Mommy puts both her hands on my cheeks. “I believe in you, sweetie. I know you’ll know when you’re ready.”

But I don’t know if I will ever be ready.
