Jade"Mummy, my ankle hurtie." Perrie groaned and cuddled into my side. Just then the first firework went off which caused her to jump- a lot then the tears started straight after. I sighed but cuddled her.
"You're okay," I whispered and stroked her back and gave her lots of kisses. "Come on sweetheart, try take deep breaths for me," I said again. She shook her head and buried it further into my neck. "I think we should go home," Leigh said and took Perrie's hand.
"Come on bubs, lets go," the fireworks had stopped now so we had to be pretty quick to make sure we can get out of the carpark quick enough.
Perrie began trudging behind Leigh sniffling to herself. Her head looked up every now and then and I watched as her eyes travelled to the first aid tent.
"Mama stop!" Perrie said and pulled on Leigh's arm then pointed to it.
"Mama my ankle super sore," she whispered. I mentally sighed.
"We can have a look at it in the car baby, home time now," Leigh muttered and tried to get Pez to move but she let go of Leigh's hand and walked towards the tent.
"Oh no you don't!" I said, annoyed. she knew so much better than to walk off and especially in crowds like this! Not only that but it had finished and she was desperately fighting against the current.
I grabbed Leigh's hand and pulled her behind me, pushing my way towards Perrie. She stopped outside the tent, suddenly realizing how nerve-racking it was. Me and Leigh caught upto her and I grabbed her arm, not too hard of course. "You never walk away from us, do you understand?" I said firmly, looking into her eyes. She nodded sadly.
"I-I sorry," her eyes welled up with tears and she looked down at her feet. "Hi, can I help you with anything?" A medic asked nicely and came over to us. Again, I sighed, we shouldn't be here we should be in the car going home! Perrie looked at me and pouted.
"Please mummy," she begged sadly. I wrapped my arm over her shoulder and pulled her closer to me.
"She's hurt her ankle, please can we have some ice?" I asked. "Of course you can, would you like us to take a look at it?" The medic asked again. I shook my head but Perrie grunted and stamped her foot.
"Oh yeah, your ankle is so sore," Leigh rolled her eyes slightly and rubbed Perrie's back casuing another huff and a slight growl.
"Just some ice if that's okay, we need to get home," I said, politely. The medic nodded and walked off. I pushed perrie up and made her look at me.
"I don't know what's wrong with you, but I don't like this behavior. We could be half way home by now. You listen to me and mama." I told her. She nodded sadly.
"I sorry mummy," she said and tried to hug me. I let her and hugged her back. The medic came back with an icepack and a form.
"Can you please just sign here, then you can go," she smile.d I nodded and quickly signed it.
"Thank you," I took the ice and Perrie's hand. "Leigh, lead the way," i said, I was tired and upset at Perrie's behavior. We brought her all the way here, tried to have a fun night and all we get in return is whiny, bad behaving Pez. After we finally made it to the car, I got Perrie in and put the ice on her ankle, it wasn't swollen or bruised at all, she didn't need it. But I wasn't going to make her even grumpier. "Right miss grumpy bum, are we going to manage a peaceful ride home?" Leigh asked and turned around in the drivers seat. Perrie nodded sadly and looked out of the window. I could tell she wasn't really herself, possibly just overtired as it was past midnight but she had a later and longer nap today so we didn't have this problem, goodness me I don't know. We were about half way home when Perrie spoke up.
"Mu-mummy my tummy hurtie and my head too," she whispered and leaned forward.
"Sit back Pez," Leigh warned, Perrie just huffed and pushed herself back in the seat. "We'll sort you out when we get home baby," I said. It was non stop complaining all night. "Mummy and my ankle hurtie still!" She groaned and threw the icepack across the back seats.
"Stop it Perrie, we can't do anything until we get home." She just huffed, crossed her arms and shuffled her feet on the car floor. I sighed and rubbed my temple. "ALmost home now," Leigh smiled gently at me and rubbed my leg. I smiled back at her and nodded. She can be in bed and hopefully wake up in a better mood.
We pulled into our street and I heard yet again another whine.
"Mummy my belly sore still!" Perrie groaned, like I should have already made her feel better. "I said, we'll sort you out when we get home Pez, please don't be rude." I sighed, I was getting fed up now. I hadn't heard one 'thank you' off her tonight. She was being an absolute drama queen about her ankle and I just had no idea why. "We're homeee!" Leigh cheered quietly when we pulled into the driveway. I smiled and climbed out of the car. Perrie was already up and running to the door. I rolled my eyes and went to walk next to Leigh.
"Oh, her ankle is super sore," Leigh groaned and laughed. I nudged her but smiled.
"I'll get her ready for bed bubba, you go relax a little," she kissed my cheek. "Thank you baby, its much appreciated," I smiled. "Perrie you have to be quiet okay, its sleepy time and we need to settle you down," Leigh said as she turned the key in the door. Perrie just nodded and walked into the house. "Mummyyyy, my bewwy hurtie and my head mama," she groaned and went to lie down across the sofa and put her feet up.
"Ah, ah feet off the cushions Perrie," Leigh said, Perrie just rolled her eyes but moved them.
"My ankle hurtie too," she said quickly, like she just remembered that it was sore. I really did not believe her about her ankle hurting, there was no sign of it hurting, no bruising or swelling. She was just making it seem worse than it was. "I'll go grab her some medicine, see if that makes her feel better," i chuckled to Leigh, she nodded and went to tend to the baby.
LEIGH
I smiled at Perrie with my hands on my hips. "You're being a silly billy, come on." I held out my hand.
"Where we go mama?" She asked me."To bed," I chuckled. She just groaned but followed me. "Maammma, my bewwy hurtie," she whispered and sat down on her bean bag in her bedroom. "Mummy is getting you some medicine princess, come lie down we need to change your soggy bottom," I said to her and taped the changing mat. She crawled over and led down then let out a big yawn.
"Oooh, I think my princess is tired then," I smiled and rubbed her belly slightly, she did feel a little bloated... maybe she just ate a little too much food at the fair. Jade came in with a bottle of milk and handed it to Pez.
"What do you say little one?" Jade asked and stroked Perrie's head slightly.
"Tank woo mummy," she muttered and instantly began drinking her milk. "Goodnight my love, sleep well," Jade kissed Perrie's head then walked out leaving me and Perrie alone. I'm guessing Jade put the medicine in the bottle. "Mama, it yucky," Perrie groaned and held out her bottle.
"Princess its the same as always," I whispered, she can never ever taste the medicine when we put it in for her.
"No mama, it ucky!" Perrie whined and threw it away. "Pez bubba, you know we don't throw things," I sighed and stroked her legs as I wiped her clean. "Mama i say it ucky I no wan it!" She cried and banged her legs on the floor. I held her legs and looked at her.
"And that's okay princess but we don't throw things do we?" I softened my tone and stroked her cheek gently.
"No mama," she sniffled.
"Good girl, once you're changed you go pick it up for me yeah?" I whispered and kept caressing her cheek. She nodded sleepily. I quickly found her piglet paci and hovered it over her lips. She opened her mouth slightly and I slid it in.
"Oh, you're a sleepy little one," I whispered and began putting her powder on then closed her nappy. She looked at me and I smiled at her then patted her bottom.
"Go get your bottle baby," I said. she crawled over slowly to where she threw it whilst I packed her stuff away. She held it in her knee and tried drinking it again but pulled a face.
"Mama i no wike it," she began to cry slightly, obviously wanting her bottle but not wanting the yucky one. I walked over to her and took the bottle then tried some myself. It was cold. Jade had obviously forgotten to warm it up and my princess Pez was expecting her warm milk.
"You go get into bed for me little one, mama will go warm it up." I smiled and stroked her head, she crawled over to her bed and slid in then cuddled up to her lion and baloo. Walking back into Perrie's bedroom I could hear her talking to her teddies saying how her belly was sore and that mummy didn't believe her which made me kind of sad. Jade knew her belly was sore, just not her ankle and Perrie had been milking that all evening. I sat on the side of her bed and smiled at Pez then stroked her hair.
"Are you okay little one?" I asked her. She nodded and reached for the bottle. I giggled and gave it to her, she instantly drank it.
"Is that better baby?" I asked, she nodded and took it out.
"Tank woo mama," she whispered sleepily. "You're welcome little one, close those pretty eyes," I cooed. Me or Jade usually stay with her until she finishes her bottle just to make sure she doesn't choke or anything like that, then her nightlight goes on, her gate gets shut and we head out. After Perrie had finished just over half of her bottle she handed it back to me.
"No more mama," she sighed tiredly and rolled over. I nodded and put the bottle next to her bed then slid her paci into her mouth.
"Goodnight baby girl, I love you," I said softly. She muttered an i love you back through her paci and fell asleep. I turned on her light, turned off her big light then left and closed the gate.
I walked into the bedroom to see Jade watching some show on TV in an oversized t-shirt and no pants. I chuckled and went to straddle her knee. I hid my face in her neck and sighed. She wrapped her arms around me and kissed my jaw.
"Whats up baby?" she whispered. "I'm exhausted," I groaned.
"Who knew looking after an over dramatic, complaining baby would be so much work?" I added. Jade chuckled and rubbed my back.
"Is she asleep?" She asked.
"Mhmm, she went straight off, didn't even finish her bottle, which you forgot to warm up by the way!" I teased and poked her sides. She groaned and threw her head back.
"Sorry! I was trying to think of what the matter could be and wasn't really concentrating. I'm guessing that caused an upset." She said and stroked my hair.
"A little one, some banging and throwing but that's it," I laughed slightly. Jade nodded.
"I think we should sleep," she muttered and kissed me again.
I nodded, climbed off her and went to get changed then to do my teeth and toilet. 10 minutes later I climbed into bed next to my fiancee and cuddled up close to her.
