Whenever William shared something, Forrest would get calls from his parents pressuring him to get married and have kids.
Forrest was at his wits’ end from the nagging.
He had resigned himself to going on blind dates now.
Back at the Graham Residence, right after Nina finished her chat through the glass with Nelson and said goodbye, Lucien and Barry showed up, too.
These two boys also couldn’t hug Nina.
Seeing her brothers but not being able to hug them left Nina utterly heartbroken. “Mommy, no hug.”
In her sadness, Nina stopped being mad at Benjamin and Amelia.
She hugged Amelia’s leg, complaining that the boys wouldn’t hug her.
Amelia, desperate for her to get better, wouldn’t even let her go outside now, afraid she might catch a chill.
The weather was turning cooler, with cold snaps hitting every now and then.
Amelia had changed Nina’s little dresses for long-sleeved outfits and even put pants on her chubby legs.
Luckily, Nina was so adorable that even this outfit still looked cute and stylish on her.
“They will hug you when you’re all better.” Amelia felt Nina’s little hands-they were warm, not cold.
After checking her hands, Amelia picked her up to go play with toys.
But even toys couldn’t cheer Nina up.
Nina didn’t like indoor activities, but she loved going outside.
Seeing her unhappiness, Amelia still didn’t take her out.
She said, “Nina, be good. In a few days, we can go to your grandma’s house.
“We can play with your brothers there and eat yummy food.”
The banquet the Wilson family had planned for Amelia had been postponed for a few days.
Amelia was busy taking care of Nina and couldn’t spare time for anything else.
Her filming schedule had also been delayed for a few days after discussions with the set.
For Nina’s sake, she really had no choice.
As time passed, Nina grew more and more restless being stuck at home.
Even at night, she kept muttering about going out.

To keep her indoors, Amelia and Benjamin both played with her on the bed.
Nina took out some stickers. She made Benjamin and Amelia lie down and started putting stickers on them. “Mommy, no move.”
Nina wasn’t putting stickers on their cheeks; she went straight for their eyes and mouths.
Soon, Amelia and Benjamin’s faces were covered beyond recognition.
Nina was having a blast, but she wouldn’t let them peel the stickers off.
The two adults endured it until Nina finally got bored, and they were freed.
After the bedtime game, Amelia turned off the light.
In the darkness, she let out a soft sigh.
Bedtime again.
Benjamin and I have another long night ahead.
She just hoped Nina wouldn’t run a fever tonight.
Perhaps because she hadn’t eaten anything inappropriate during the day, Nina didn’t get a fever that night. Her nose only got stuffy a few times.
Amelia had Benjamin hold a flashlight while she used a cotton swab to gently clear Nina’s nose.
Surviving the night, Amelia looked at Nina, who seemed a bit better, and felt a glimmer of hope.
Thinking that keeping her home was working, Amelia decided to keep it up. “Let’s keep her home for one more day.”
But keeping Nina confined was no easy task.
She couldn’t last the morning before fussing to go out and play on the slides.
Nina refused the slide at home and specifically demanded the slide at the playground.
Even the slide at the little park would do-anything but the one at home.
Nina hadn’t been out to play yesterday. Now that she was used to going out, suddenly keeping her cooped up was proving very difficult.
Amelia couldn’t hold her back.
Nina said, “Mommy, go slide.”
“We have one at home too,” Amelia pleaded patiently. “Can’t we use our own? I will slide with you, okay?”
Nina shook her head without thinking. “No.”
Her tantrum continued, and Amelia’s coaxing was useless.
Even William’s heart softened watching her.
