On To The Baby Store (Photostory)

 Danielle considered going straight home after the Melanie encounter, but she decided to continue with her plans and head to the baby store.  Being in the baby store always helps her feel better.

Sandra, the owner, is there with a few customers.

Kendra is there with Cameron.  She's in search of a new stroller.

That looks like Sharmaine and Kobe.  What are they doing at the baby store?

"How are you doing over here, Kendra?"  (Sandra)
"Okay, I guess.  What kind of reviews did this Graco stroller get?"  (Kendra)
"It's one of our best sellers, and I haven't had any complaints."  (Sandra)

Just then Danielle enters the store and the door chime alerts Sandra.
"Hello Danielle. Nice to see you again."  (Sandra)
"Hey Danielle."  (Kendra)
"Hey guys."  (Danielle)
"Do you need help finding anything?"  (Sandra)
"I'm just browsing.  I need a little bit of everything."  (Danielle)
"Ok.  I'll check on you in a few."  (Sandra)

All of a sudden Danielle catches a glimpse of Sharmaine.  She immediately thinks, "what are they doing here?"  She scurries over to confront her.

"Sharmaine?"  (Danielle)

Sharmaine and Kobe both turn around.
"Hey cuz."  (Sharmaine)

"Hey yourself.  What are you guys doing here?  Is there something you need to tell me?"  (Danielle)
Sharmaine smiles.  "How quickly we jump to conclusions.  We are here to buy a baby shower gift for Kobe's sister.  For all you know, we could have  been shopping for you."  (Sharmaine)
"You're right.  Sorry for jumping to conclusions."  (Danielle)

"How are we doing over here?   Are you guys finding everything okay?"  (Sandra)

Just then Danielle's phone starts ringing.  She's hoping it's not Rod.
"Excuse me.  I have to take this call."  (Danielle)

"I don't know Cameron.  This stroller seems a little too big.  What do you think?"  (Kendra)

"Hi honey."  (Danielle)
"Hi.  Where are you?"  (Rod)
"I'm at the baby store."  (Danielle)

"Are you okay?"  (Rod)
"Yessss."  (Danielle)
"Well I just got a strange call from Melanie."  (Rod)

"Really?  What did she say?"  (Danielle)

"It was hard to understand all that she was saying, but I gathered the two of you had a run in."  (Rod)
"I'll tell you all about it when I get home.  It really wasn't that big of a deal."  (Danielle)

Rod sits back and scratches his head.  He can't imagine it wasn't a big deal considering how bent out of shape Melanie was.

Sandra is busy at the cash register, when she hears a familiar voice.
"Hi, mommy."  (Ricky)

"Well this is a treat."  (Sandra)

Sandra's husband, Deion and her son, Ricky, stopped by before his baseball game.
"Are you ready to pitch that no-hitter?"  (Sandra)

"I wish you could be there."  (Ricky)
"I'm going to try to make it before the end of the game."  (Sandra)

"Honey, are you still there?"  (Danielle)
"Yes, I'm here.  We'll just talk about it when you get here.  Please be careful."  (Rod)
"Okay, babe.  I'll see you soon."  (Danielle)

"I like this."  (Kobe)
"Is she having twins?"  (Sharmaine)
"Not the stroller.  The giraffe."  (Kobe)
"You can get the giraffe, but you have to get something a little more substantial to go with it."  (Sharmaine)


This is a picture of the baby store when Kendra was pregnant.  It has a larger footprint than the current one.  I plan to reclaim this space and put the new baby store here and add more stuff.

    1. Angelia - You are right. Too much stress is really bad, especially for expecting mothers.

    1. Marta - Thanks. This store is smaller than my last baby store. I have a lot more items for the store. I may have to eventually build a bigger one.

  4. I'm going to be very petty here for a second. Please excuse my ill manners! Buuuttt Sharmaine is much too cute for (that) Kobe. He's a little creepy! (Please do not block me.) Perhaps they are just friends although he seems like the stalker type. In fact, wasn't he hounding girl at work a little while back?

    1. AG Lanc - He must be doing something right. Lol! That smile makes him a little creepy. I would never block you for having an opinion. Now that would be petty. They are more than friends. They are actively dating. He used to hound Valencia, but that's all over now. He only has eyes for Sharmaine.....at the moment. He's a man, so this could change at any time.

    1. april - Thanks. My other baby store was much bigger. I eventually plan to expand this store because I have so much more to display. If I'm not mistaken that baby is due in about 2 months.

    1. Aya - Thanks. I just posted a picture of the old baby store. It's a little larger. I plan to more the new one to the old space, so I can add more of the baby items I have.

  7. I am dying for these two to have that baby and to see the nursery (yes, another shameless hint). The baby store is cute, I do remember the other one too. Tell Kendra the stroller is just fine. The baby is going to grow eventually.

    I'm glad Danielle did not let her run in with Melanie stop her from enjoying shopping.

    1. Janainah - I agree they really need to get that nursery finished. That baby is going to be here before we know it. Danielle works better under pressure. Lol. Kendra is thinking about adding some stroller padding. That will do the trick.

  8. First of all, the store is too cute! Secondly, I laughed when I read "She scurries over to confront her"...more like waddles over LOL but she might be one of the lucky ones who don't waddle until late pregnancy. And lastly, I'll be in touch soon to order my crib. One of the dollies finally convinced me to get one.

    1. Jewell - Thanks. Yes, her scurrying days are over. She's not quite waddling, but she is pretty close. You're dolls be on it. Lol.

  9. I do have to wonder if there is going to be some tension between Rod and Danielle once she tells him she approached Melanie.

    That store is cool! One of my TRUs is connected to a BRU and your store looks right in line with a real baby store.

    1. Muff - You see how Danielle is trying to downplay what happened with Melanie. She is in operation damage control mode. Our standalone BRU closed about a year ago. I used to walk around that store just to ooh and awe. I think all of ours are now part of the TRUs.

  10. Hmm, I wonder what Melanie actually said to Rod, he looks rather worried. And did Danielle really want to go to the baby store or is she just avoiding the conversation with Rod? Hopefully she finds something nice to buy.

    1. Carrickters - Danielle had planned to go to the baby store even before she left the house. She was going to go back home after leaving the grocery store, but stuck with her original plans. Gives her more time to figure out what she's going to say when she gets home.

  11. Love the store Vanessa. Where did you get the display case and the cash register? I'm thinking of creating a coffee shop for Moreville. :-)

    1. Cindi - Thanks. That display case is from the 1982 Barbie Dream Store set. I got it for a steal several years ago at a local doll show. It came with two display cases. I painted the other one and it is in Racquel's boutique. I have a number of cash registers around here from various sets. They are easily found in grocery store sets.

  13. Danielle recovered quickly. That just goes to show you that she’s not the one with the problem!

    1. Kenya - I'm not sure Danielle has recovered. She is just down playing the events to keep Rod from losing it.
