Four Beating Hearts

31 - night

A/N: It's Superbowl Sunday as I write this and I'm 4 margaritas in, so apologizes for anything I misspell or doesn't sound right. Also, not really a football fan, but I am a fútbol fan.

Bethany POV

Both of my wives ended up falling asleep on my shoulder, luckily for me though they both slid down and ended up rolling over to sleep more.

I rested my eyes for a few minutes as everyone around me was sleeping. I wasn't asleep long before I felt someone shifting on my lap. Opening my eyes I saw Penny shifting to lay our fronts together.

I ran my fingers through her hair and down her back as she tucked her head into the crook of my neck. "Hi baby. How are you feeling?" I asked her knowing that she may be in a rough patch.

She whined slightly as she tried to get closer to me. "I s'ared mommy." She told me and I held back my emotions, I didn't want her to have any reason to be scared. I know she has every reason to be scared, but I don't want to add to that.

I sighed as I leaned my head against hers. "I know you are sweet girl, but try not to worry too much okay? Momma, Mama, and I are all here to protect you. We won't let anything bad happen to you, and I'll apologize to big you later, but you aren't leaving our sight. No chances until they are caught. Okay baby?" I told her and I felt her let out a shaky breath.

"Otay mommy." She said quietly as she laid her body more against mine. I watched as she slowly closed her eyes and let out a little chuckle.

"No no baby. If I let you go back to sleep then you aren't going to sleep a wink tonight. Come on, let's get up." I told her as I pushed her to scoot towards the end of the bed as I followed suit leaving my wives asleep in the bed. I don't know why they are so tired.

We made our way into the hallway when I stopped her near the restroom. "Baby girl, why don't you try to go potty before we head downstairs?" I asked her and had to hold back my grin as her eyes widened. I'm glad I said something.

"He'p p'ease?" I heard her ask quietly and I gave her a quick nod as I rushed her into the bathroom.

After helping her do her business I shuffled her into her bedroom. "Why don't you pick a onesie to put you in?" I asked her and she nodded as she made her way over to her dresser. She ended up pulling out a purple sleeper and I couldn't help but smile. We had gotten that sleeper a week after she got here and she hasn't worn it yet.

"Come on then baby," I said as I held my hand out to her. She took it quickly as she handed me the sleeper and I helped her onto the bed.

I pulled her out of her clothes from the day and helped her into the sleeper before zipping her up. I smiled brightly at how cute she looked in her sleeper. "You look absolutely darling my baby girl." I beamed at her and she blushed causing me to chuckle slightly.

I picked her up under her armpits before lifting her onto my hip. She whined slightly and I looked at her with a worried expression.

"What's wrong baby?" I asked and she pointed to her bed. I didn't quite understand her though.

"Wan' blankey, paci, an stuffie mommy. P'ease?" She asked and I smiled at her knowing nothing was wrong. I quickly grabbed her stuffie and handed it to her before popping her paci in her mouth and wrapping a blanket around her.

"Come on my baby, let's go downstairs." I told her while carrying her down the stairs.

I made my way over to the recliner and carefully set us down in it. I laid her to lay on my front so she could turn her head to watch television before turning on Frozen 2. I smiled as she hummed along to the music and twiddled the ear of her stuffie between her fingers.

Kissing her forehead I whispered to her so I didn't interrupt her movie. "I love you so much baby girl."

I could see her smile behind her paci and she mumbled out, "I love you too mommy," which made my heart swoon.

She went back to watching her movie as Bella and Mariana walked down the stairs. Bella went into the kitchen as Mari sat down on the couch.

Bella walked in with some apple slices and set them down next to us as she sat down next to Mariana.

"Mommy?" I heard Penny call out once her movie was over. I looked down and smiled at her before answering with a simple yes.

"Can you makes milkies like my bottle?" Penny asked innocently, but I couldn't control my facial expressions.

"Uh.. I" I was at a lost for words, but luckily Mariana caught on.

"She doesn't know baby, sometimes there can be special things she can do to make milk, but it doesn't always take." Mariana explained to Penny who nodded her head slowly.

"Would you want mommy to be able to make milk?" Bella asked her and she tilted her head slightly.

"It taste good?" She asked and I finally was able to find my words.

I pulled her a little tighter to me, "Well, that's what a lot of babies drink is milk from their mommies, so I think it tastes good for them." I told her and she smiled while looking up at me.

"I mommies baby, I like the milk den." She said with a toothy grin causing my wives and I to laugh.

"Well, how about this? I can talk to my doctor and see if there's a way for us to do this and then we can try that. Does that sound fair?" I asked her and she nodded real big.

"Yes p'ease! T'ank you mommy!" Penny shouted happily and I gave the top of her head a big kiss.

I pushed the apples back towards Bella before helping Penny out of my lap. She whined a little but I quickly shushed her, "Why don't you let momma feed you some apples? You haven't eaten anything since earlier and you need food on your stomach before dinner." I told her and her eyes lit up at the word apples.

She quickly shuffled her way over to Bella who picked her up into her lap and started feeding her apples. I of course wanted to keep her with me, but I know this day hasn't just been hard on Penny, but my wives too.

"You look so adorable in your sleeper sweetie." Mariana gushed over her and Bella couldn't help but agree.

"Yup, my sugarplum is all snuggled up in her sleeper and is just precious." Bella gushed as well and Penny blushed red at all of the love.

I looked at my wives interacting with Penny and couldn't help but smile. I'm absolutely terrified of our future, but with them in my lives, I know I'll be okay.
