"Trash bags? Seriously Carina?" Maya said walking around the room, she was furious. Carina just listened to her, trying to stay calm, Maya had helped her earlier now it was her turn "Trash bags. What's wrong with this people? They looked so nervous and... scared" the blond said finally sitting next to her wife hiding her face in her hands "They are just kids"
Maybe five minutes had passed since the social worker had left and they both decided that it was better to give the girls a few more minutes to get used to the new place. So instead of going to look for them they went to their room. Maya stayed calm knowing her wife needed her but she couldn't stop thinking about the way the system treated this kids so when they got to the room she finally let her emotions out.
"I know bambina, I know" the brunette said trying to comfort her wife "but they are okay now, we are going to make sure of that" she said rubbing the woman's back softly. As they were talking they heard a noise coming from outside the room. Both women got out of the room to find Luna just standing there looking around "Bella?" Carina called for her. Luna jumped a little when she realized she wasn't alone
"Can I... um... Can I take a shower?" the girl finally said looking down at her hands "I won't take long I promise" she whispered
"Course you can" the brunette said slowly walking towards the girl "I will show you the bathroom si?" she asked. The little girl lift up her gaze and nodded "That door over there is Maya's and I's room, so if you or your sister ever need anything we are over there" the Italian said pointing to the door behind Maya "and this is the bathroom, I will bring you something to wear" Luna nodded seeing the woman turn around and walk to the room she was previously in.
The brunette quickly made her way towards the girls' room and smiled when she saw little Emma playing with a teddy bear. She didn't realized she was staring until she heard a little voice snapped her out of her thoughts
"I sorry" the little blonde said standing up quickly walking as far from the woman as she could "I won't touch it... I sorry" she rushed to say feeling her tears fall down her face and her breathing becoming uneaven
"Bella, it's fine" the Italian tried to say taking a step towards the girl but that only scared the girl even more.
"I didn't mean to" she said scanning the room for the closest place to hide
"Emma listen to me" Carina said kneeling in the ground "It's okay" she said softly as she reached for the teddy bear with her hand "It's yours you can play with it"
"Not in t'ouble?" the five-year-old asked wiping her tears with the palm of her hands
"No baby, not in trouble" the brunette reassured "I'm sure this little guy misses you" she said placing the teddy next to her ear, smiling when she realized she had caught the girl's attention "You do?" she said surprised holding the chuckle that wanted to come out when she saw the toddler's amazed expression "No way!"
"What? What?" the girl said quickly coming a little closer to the woman kneeling in front of her
"I can't tell you... It's a secret" she said whispering the last part
"I can keep a secret" Emma was quick to respond "I pwomise"
"You sure?" the brunette said, smiling when the kid nodded eagerly "I guess we can tell her" the brunette said looking at the stuffed animal in her hand "The thing is, this teddy has special super powers" the brunette said and the child opened her eyes big as she opened her mouth a little "everytime you are scared or nervous and you get that tangling feeling in your tummy, he can make you feel brave"
"He can?" the toddler asked
"Yes he can, but it needs a friend" the woman said "you think you can do that?" she asked and smiled when the girl nodded slowly and stood up starting to walk towards her. The brunette slowly lifted her arm, smiling gently to the girl as the toddler slowly and unsure took the stuffed animal from the Italian's hand "Now I'm going to go bring your sister some clothes, can you tell me were they are?" she asked
