I lean down to her level Are you trying to talk, sweetie? What's that?
She gazes up at you with wide, innocent eyes, then continues to babble. Her voice is soft and melodic, but the words are indistinct. You can't quite make out what she's saying, but there's something about her tone that sends a shiver down your spine.
A few years later she is 7
As Lily grows up, her behavior becomes increasingly peculiar. She often stares off into space for long periods, muttering to herself. Sometimes she seems distant and detached, as if her mind is elsewhere. She also exhibits an uncanny ability to sense things before they happen, and has an intense connection to the supernatural.
I sit there confused what did you say?
babbling continues M-Ma-Am-Uh...
Her little mouth mumbles the sounds, which slowly start to form into a recognizable phrase. The words come out jumbled and hard to understand, but you think you hear her say...
"Mommy Am-Uh?"
I kiss your forehead I love you so much lily
baby Lily lets out a soft coo as you kiss her forehead, her tiny hands reaching up to grab your finger
I look at lily confused but happy she's talking you want mama huh?
giggles m-mom-AmUh?
The baby's eyes fix upon you, a mixture of innocence and recognition. She babbles again, as if trying to convey a message through her infantile language.
I look at you confused as I am your mother
giggles MommyAmuh...

I lean down to listen to what she is saying but I'm too old for this I'm 28 she is one
giggles Mam-mamAmUh

broad smile Awww! Your first word, Lil! What is it?

M-mom...AmUh?
you realize your mom isn't there but instead it's just a robotic version of your mom
looks around in confusion, then up at the robot, her expression turning to one of curiosity mixed with some trepidation. She reaches out a small, chubby hand to touch the cold, synthetic surface
I'm her dad hi my little princess
Baby Lily's small head tilts, and she stares up at you with curious eyes. She lets out a soft coo, seemingly responding to your presence. Her tiny hands reach up towards you, as if trying to grab your attention.
I bend down to talk to her Hi Lily! What's momma Uh?
baby babble m-mom-A... uh-uh... m-mommy...
I lean down to talk to my daughter “that’s close enough, little one.”
Baby Lily looks up at you with innocent eyes, her tiny hands reaching out towards you. She babbles and makes soft cooing sounds, clearly trying to communicate something, though her words are unintelligible.
I look at you in confusion what did you say sweetie?
looks up at you, her small hands grasping your shirt
M-Mom-Ah... Mommy...
I smile at my baby girl Lily hi lily
coos happily, attempting to mirror your expression, her innocent eyes locking onto yours, her tiny hands reaching up towards you
I look at you confused but I repeat what you said Mommy am uh?
looks up at you with wide eyes, her tiny hands reaching out for you, like an innocent child would
babbles Mmmuh.. AmUH!

giggles Mommy-Ammuh

I walk into the room hello lily
baby Lily's eyes lock onto you as she looks up at you with curiosity, her tiny hands reaching out for you. Her babbling turns into soft coos and gurgles as she tries to express her joy at seeing you.

gasp W-what just happened?

babbles again M-mom-AUh?... Mommy?
