Becoming Mothers (Marina fanfiction)

Chapter 93

Emma's POV

"It's bedtime, Mija" Tia Andy said after Mulan ended.

I was not tired at all. I was worried about Mamma. I missed my mommies. I felt my eyes tearing up.

"What's wrong?" Tia Andy noticed and scooped me up into her lap.

"M-Mamma" I started sobbing. "I miss Mamma and Mommy" she immediately started rocking me in her lap trying to calm me down.

"Shh, Mija" whispered.

"Is Mamma going to be okay?" I sobbed. I knew giving birth has risks. Mamma told me when she was sad about a loss of her patient.

"Your Mommy sent me a message. Your Mamma and siblings are okay. All strong and healthy." Tia said with a smile "We can go see them in the morning" she added

"I'm a big sister now."I pushed my chest out proudly and wiped my tears" Big girls don't cry" I stated.

"No, Mija. Big girls can cry to. Your Mommy cries, your Mamma cries even I cry sometimes. You can be sad or happy, crying isn't a weakness. If anything crying is strength because you're capable of showing emotions, that's something to cherish" she explained it to me again. I have heard similar things from my mommies too. "I'm sure your mommies have been crying all day" she tickled me.

"Hurt?" I was confused.

"No, Mija. Happy tears." she said "Let's have a shower my stinky Lieutenant."

"I'm not stinky. You're stinky" I giggled.

She took a few deep breaths sniffing around the air. "You're right, but you still need a shower before bad" she always knew how to make me laugh when I was sad.

"English or Spanish?" she was holding up two books after our bubble battle in the bathroom. She has already tucked me into bed.

"Spanish please" I smiled at her.

At home I usually had Italian bedtime stories but at Tia's house I always asked for the Spanish one which was Tia's when she was little.

I couldn't wait to be morning and see my mommies and my siblings.

"Mija, we need to go now" Tia said after we finished breakfast the following morning. "Did you pack your backpack?"

"Yes." I pointed at my green backpack next to the door.

"Alright. Do you need help with your shoes?" she asked with a raised eyebrow.

"No, Tia, I can do it on my own now" I said proudly since I learnt it a few weeks ago from Mommy.

"Ahh already a grown up" she put her hand to her heart and gasped.

"Funny" I rolled my eyes at her.

"Just like her Mamma" she said with a smile.

Not even 10 minutes later Andy parked the car in front of the hospital. I was getting anxious.

"Tia, can you carry me?" I looked up at her

"Of course" she easily picked me up just like Mommy. I hid my face into her neck and mumbled a thank you.

I was scared.

What if my siblings don't like me? What if I don't like them? Will we fight all the time?

"Mija, no need to worry. You'll be the best big sister I know." she said as she could read my mind. "Let's find your mommies" with that we walked into the hospital.
