Aliyah withdraws her foot almost immediately. She then looks down, staring directly at you and Dad. You both watch as her eyes widen, witnessing her entire reaction as her mind tries to process what she is seeing.
Completely surprised, she curls her legs into her lap and leans forward, inspecting you and Dad closer.
"Oh my god!" she says, reaching out with a finger toward you.
"What?" you hear Dani say.
"Look!" Aliyah exclaims, looking up from you and Dad to your youngest sister.
A second later, you both find yourself surrounded by girls as Dani hops off her bed and sits on her knees behind you, and Andrea walks over and sits on her heels nearby.
"Dad?" Dani asks in complete shock. "Brother?? Is that...Oh my god!"
All around you, the shocked faces of the girls peer down at you. You are almost as shocked as they are but also relieved.
"We need your help, Dani," Dad says to her. "Go get your mother, please."
Dani begins to stand up, but Aliyah grabs her hand and stops her.
"Wait," she says.
"What? Why?"
"Look at them," Aliyah says, glancing from you and Dad back to Dani. "They're so small. We could have some fun with them first."
Your jaw drops.
"Stop, don't listen to her, Dani," Dad demands. "Listen to me right now. Go get your mom."
Still holding Dani's hand, Aliyah reaches forward with her other hand and cups it over you and Dad, covering you both.
"Don't hurt them!" Dani says fearfully.
"Don't worry," Aliyah says soothingly. "Just listen for a sec. Didn't you ever play with dolls when you were a girl?"
Dani nods, gulping and looking straight at Aliyah with wide, worried eyes.
"We'll tell your mom about them later, OK?" Aliyah says. "Just think of all the cool things we can do with them first."
She lets go of Dani's hand.
"It'll be fun for them, too," she continues. "So...how about it?"
