Isabella Pov
I was cuddled into Queen Gloria, the mean man said something nasty to me something along the lines of 'little pet' and it made me really really uncomfortable
Then he grabbed my chin hard and it hurt so bad, and Queen Gloria came towards me and hugged me tight
She kept whspering sweet nothings to me and helped me get my breathing under control, I didn't hear anything that happened around me
After a while I felt a warm hand on my back rubbing it soflty and I relaxed into Queen Gloria more, feeling a lot calmer than before
Suddenly feeling self conscious I pulled away and stood straight and wiped under my eyes sniffling slightly
"I'm sorry" I whispered softly not daring to look up at them "are you okay honey?" Someone asked me softly I think it was Queen Gloria
I hesitantly nodded, feeling silly for getting upset over such a small thing "you have nothing to be sorry about little one.. We apologize that a bad man could come near you in our presence"
This time I think it was Queen vivian, I didn't give any reply but continued to look down and gave a small nod
"look up sweetheart, it's okay" I heard Queen Gloria say, even though I didn't particularly want to comply I felt myself looking up at them shyly
My face was still sticky from crying earlier and I raised my fists to rub at my eyes, they were itchy "don't rub at your eyes honey"
It was Queen Vivian this time, taking hold of my fist gently, successfully making me stop rubbing my eyes and looking up at her with a small pout on my lips
"would you like to stay with us tonight hun? We can get you a warm bath and some food" Queen Gloria asked me gently her voice a little hesitant
I looked at her tilting my head slightly "but I have a apartment" I whispered softly, I didn't exactly have a job, but my parents left me enough money to never have to work and I was happy with that
"sweetheart a little one like you shouldn't be staying alone, have you ever slipped before?" It was Queen Vivian again she moved her hands from my wrist and cupped my cheek gently
With a look in her eyes that I could only decribe as affection and care "i-i try not to, I haven't slipped before fully... But I can take care of myself!"
I replied, getting worked up while coming to the end, I could feel myself starting to get worked up again and a fresh set of tears fell down on my cheek, Queen Vivian wiping them away
"we are not saying you can't honey, we are saying you don't need to anymore, you don't have to hold back anymore you can be little or big anytime you want and we'll take care of you" Queen Gloria said softly
Her words were very honest and I could see the reality behind them in the way she spoke "okay you're highness" I replied in a whisper
Maybe this could be better than returning home to/staying home in an empty house "call me Gloria or Ria and that's Vivian ot vivi as I like to call her, but I'm sure she'll make an exception for you"
Q-gloria said to me giving me a smile and her statement made me giggle "shall we get you in a nice bath little one?"
Vivi aksed softly she had come to stand beside me puting her arm around my shoulder in a side hug "yes please" I replied, following Ria who led the way, me and Vivi following behind her.
Gloria Pov
She's so sweet, vivi was helping her bath, we didn't want to overwhelm her with both of us hovering over her
I was in charge of finding her some clothes to wear, since Vivian was taller than me
I settled on getting one of my t shirts and a shorts that had strings in it, after being satisfied with my choice
I made my way towards our bathroom, it already had all the products in it, I opened it slightly to see vivan helping bella bath
She made eye contact with me when she saw me enter "this little bug wanted some help getting clean, because she was too busy playing with Mr. Duck" She responded in an amused tone, continuing to clean her arms
"not fair vivi" She pouted looking at me "it's all good honey, I'm happy you're having fun with mr. Duck" I smiled and replied which seemed to have eased her nerves a little
She is still very shy but it's also evident in her eyes that she's been trying to hold back for a while now and finally now that she has the chance to let go she doesn't want it to end it
"alright, out you come" Vivi said softly as she pulled the plug of the bath and wrapped bella in a big fluffy towel wrapping her all up and setting her on the closed toilet seat
"I got some clothes for you, they're mine so they'll be a little big but that's only for today we can get you you're own clothes tomorrow" I explained and watched as she gave a nod
"do you need any help little bug?" I asked rubbing the towel clad girl to help her dry faster
"please?" She questioned softly, her energetic look from the bath had been replaced by sleepy eyes and a tired look
"of course sweets" I whispered softly not wanting to ruin the calm environment, I helped dry her up and handed her some underwear to put on
I didn't think she wanted me to do that yet and I was right, she mumbled out a small thanks her cheeks red and quickly put it on after a little struggle
I bunched up my t shirt and put it through all the right holes it came down up to her knees almost but looked absolutely adorable
Next I bunched up one leg of the shorts next "one leg and then the other" I explained softy and helped her into them as well, tightening the strings as much as I could and they looked like they'll stay
"and we're all done little bug" I said with a smile, which caused bella to burst out giggling and nodding her head "shall we go see what Vivi is up to?"
I asked holding her hands so she could hop off the seat "yes" She replied her grip on my hand tightening slightly
"ready for dinner babe? I asked a maid to bring up some" Vivi replied as soon as we entered the bedroom, opening her arms and inviting bella over
She blushed shyly and let go of my hand before walking over to Vivian who helped her on to our bed and pulled bella close to her
"are you having a good time so far?" Vivi asked her gently running her hand through her semi dry hair, before I could hear her reply a knock on the door interrupted me and I went to open it
Our dinner had arrived, after nodding politely at me the maid left I bought the tray in setting it on the bed
I caught the last of her reply which was something about feeling little and warm "dinner is here"
I said getting both of their attention and bella to sit a little closer to the tray, looks like someone was hungry
"there's a little bit of everything, tell me what you want and I will make a plate for you" Vivi said pulling the tray towards herself and handing bella her sippy cup of water
She opened up all the lids and bella pointed out at some roasted chicken, mashed potato and a little salad
"good choice darling, babe can you make me a plate too?" I asked my wife after praising bella "sure, only cause I love you" She replied winking at me.
I saw from the corner of my eye that bella was noticing our interaction very closely and ate her food slowly
I was handed my own plate and Vivian started to eat her food as well. The atmosphere was calm inside the bedroom and after a really long time I felt complete
Not that I didn't feel that with Vivian but it felt like a part of me wasn't happy the caregiver side of me
But right now each and every part of me was so so happy, she's the one, my heart has known it since I laid eyes on her for the first time but this feeling right now it just confirms it. I can't wait for her to be ours completely. Our little princess
Things are progressing! Isabella is starting to come out of her shell more, are you enjoying this so far? Any suggestions you have are always welcome.
