y: *continues to hold onto you tightly, whispering* don’t want you to leave again, momma.

*cleans up from where she was playing in the living room, straightening everything up* y: *nods a little after hearing you and relaxes a little in your arms*

y: *crawls under the covers and waits for you, watching you patiently* *cleans up in the kitchen and at the dining room table*

y: *looks up at you and smiles small, nodding* okay momma *comes upstairs after a few minutes, sitting beside ynez* hey bug, you ready for bath time?

((if replies get really spaced out, our power keeps going out from a storm and the generator i have is on its last legs so just wanted to give you a heads up))

*picks up ynez and takes her to the other bathroom when I hear the water running, helping to set up her bath before getting her in*

*helps ynez bathe and goes to get her pajamas, finishing up with her before helping her out of the bath and drying her off*

*gets her dried off and changed, combing through her hair and lets her brush her teeth before taking her back to our bedroom*

*sets her down on the bed, kissing her forehead before going to the closet to grab a pair of sweatpants, changing into them* y: *gets back under the covers, watching the tv*

*gets in bed beside ynez, pulling her to sit between my legs, holding her close, speaking softly* what’ve we got on, bug? y: *watches you for a moment then leans back, watching the tv* disney jr, daddy *laughs a little, kissing the top of her head* gotcha

y: *watches tv and cuddles up* *holds her close to me and looks over at you* working assignment for class baby?

*carefully moves ynez from between my legs and goes over to you, placing a kiss on the top of your head, rubbing your shoulders lightly* how much have you got to do tonight?

okay baby. *nods a little and gives your shoulders a gentle squeeze then goes into the bathroom*

*comes out of the bathroom after using it and sits back on the bed with ynez*

*looks over at you from watching the show that’s on, scooting over a bit with ynez to give you a bit more room on the bed*

oh, alright *nods a little and watches you for a moment and sighs, holding ynez against my side, turning on a movie for her*

*absentmindedly plays with ynez’s hair, checking my phone as i hold her close to me*

y: *moves over to you, cuddling up to your side* *lets go of her as she starts to move, resting back against the headboard, setting my phone aside*

y: *looks up at you, speaking softly* it’s tangled, momma *looks over at the two of you then back at the tv, chewing on my lip for a moment*

*smiles a little as i listen to you two, keeping my gaze on the tv* y: ohh *giggles a little and looks back at the tv, holding onto you*

y: *slowly starts to relax, keeping close to you and rubs my eyes* *watches the movie*

y: *lets go of you a little and starts to doze off, still keeping close to you* *looks over at ynez and smiles a bit to myself, muttering* sleepy girl

*looks over at you, speaking just above a whisper* do you want her to stay in here with us tonight or do you wanna take her to her room?

okay baby *nods a little and shifts my gaze onto her* she was hurrying me through her bath so she could come back in to be with you

and she made you something for Mother’s Day, im sure she’ll show it to you when she wakes up. we both did, actually *nods a little keeping my eyes on her* y: *loosens the grip around you a bit more, sleeping comfortably*

*pauses the movie and watches the two of you*

*plug my phone up and relaxes back against the headboard* y: *moves a bit once in the bed, quickly settling back down and sleeps deeply*

*looks over at you when you come back in* she settled in quick?

that’s good *nods, turning the light off on my side*

*moves to lay down a bit more, staring up at the ceiling, sighing lightly*

*glances over at you as i notice you fidgeting out of the corner of my eyes* what’s going on? you’ve not been yourself since you’ve gotten here, and especially not since it’s been just us

*raises an eyebrow slightly and shakes my head as i keep my eyes on you* it sure doesn’t seem like it avianna

you’ve got no reason to feel guilty, baby. if anything it’s my fault she doesn’t have a sibling yet *sighs and frowns a bit, turning on my side to keep my gaze on you*

*keeps my eyes on you, sighing softly as i move to sit up again* sorry

right *nods a little, shifting my gaze to the ceiling*

*grabs my phone and checks something on it, staying sat up against the headboard*

*moves to lay back down, trying to relax*

*tries turning onto my stomach, moving a bit to get comfortable*

*shifts my gaze onto you for a moment, watching you before closing my eyes*

*feels you moving in the bed and looks over at you, sitting up a bit*

*sighs and turns my light on once you walk out, sitting up in the bed*

*turns the tv on and flips through random channels, sighing deeply*

*puts on a random movie after a while, turning the volume down*

avianna, is it okay if i hold you for a bit… please. *looks over at you, taking a deep breath*

i-.. if you don’t want me to it’s fine. im not trying to make you do something you don’t want to… my anxiety is just through the roof right now and.. you help a lot. *shifts my gaze off of you, continuing to try and take deep breaths*

you wouldn’t be a bad one if that’s what you’re getting at *shifts myself down in the bed slightly before carefully pulling you closer to me, wrapping my arms around you*

*rubs your back gently and kisses the top of your head, trying to calm myself down*

*relaxes a little at your touch, bringing a hand up to play with one of your curls*

*continues to mess with your hair gently, slowly relaxing a bit more due to your actions*

*continues to play with your hair gently, my gaze up on the ceiling*

*moves my hand from your hair to your waist, glancing down at you*

*smiles a little to myself, keeping my eyes on you as I trace my fingers up and down your side gently*

*smiles softly, slipping my hands just slightly beneath your pajama top, tracing on your skin slowly*

continues tracing my fingers up and down your side, pressing a light kiss to your forehead*

*stills my actions for a moment and admires you, speaking softly* i missed that little hint of a smile

*laughs slightly when you blush, bringing a hand up to stroke my thumb over your cheek*

*keeps my eyes on you, speaking softly* can I kiss you?
