Four Beating Hearts

37 - play

Penelope POV

The Barbie's I pulled out all somewhat looked like mommies and me surprisingly. I handed them each one I thought looked like them. They all smiled at me before we started playing.

I had given them all adult Barbie's, but I chose one of the kid Barbie's for me. Mommy chuckled at that as she came over and sat right next to me. Momma was on the other side and Mama was right in front of me.

"I see you picked the little one." Mommy told me as she leaned over to kiss the top of my head.

"She your little one just like me mommy." I told her as I played with my Barbie's hair.

"Just like you huh?" Momma asked and I smiled at her.

"Mmhmm. I a little, but she just little though." I told her and she nodded as she understood.

"What are our Barbie's names baby girl?" Mama asked and I giggled a little.

I pretended to think for a minute, "Mm, yous mama," I pointed to momma's Barbie next, "yous momma," and finally pointed to mommy's, "And yous mommy."

Mommy laughed at that, "So we are all ourselves? That works for me." Momma and mama chuckled too before agreeing.

We played with the Barbie's for a little while before I got bored and pulled out one of the baby dolls. I cradled the baby in my arms before passing her over to mommy.

"Mommy cradle baby p'ease?" I asked politely so mommy quickly took the baby doll from my arms.

She cradled the baby in her arms and softly swayed with her. I watched intensely before crawling into her lap. Mommy had her hands full so she passed the baby doll to mama.

"Little one, I thought you wanted me to cradle your baby doll?" Mommy chuckled a little while she asked me and I pouted at her.

"I your baby." I told her and she sighed while pulling me into her arms.

"Of course you are my baby. My very jealous baby." Mommy said with a slight chuckle and I crossed my arms and scowled at her.

She kissed the tip of my nose, "You shouldn't scowl baby, your face will get stuck like that." Mommy teased and I instantly got rid of my scowl causing them all to laugh.

Deciding I want to hide my face from the world, I tugged on mommy's shirt. "Mommy nurse." I whined and she rose a brow.

"Can we ask the correct way please?" Mommy asked in turn.

"Mommy, can I p'ease nurse?" I asked again and she smiled before lifting her shirt. I sunk down to where she cradled me more and softly latched on.

Mommy said she was going to get started on the supplements tomorrow so hopefully I'll have milkies soon.

I quietly nursed before I started to feel drowsy.

Isabella POV

We were playing with Barbie dolls before Penny decided to play with a baby doll and got jealous. "Nursing with you really makes her zonk out, huh babe?" I asked my wife teasingly and she chuckled.

"Yeah, it definitely does. Can you imagine when I get milk? She may go into a coma." Beth teased.

We all sat around as Penny finally unlatched, but stayed cuddled and asleep with Beth. Beth managed to pull her shirt down when there was a knock on the door. Mariana went up to get it while Beth adjusted Penny to make it look like she had fallen asleep on her rather than she was cradling her.

"Donna?" I heard Mariana ask. I looked at Beth confused. Neither one of us have ever heard of a Donna from Mariana's life before.

There were some other things said that I couldn't quite grasp, but soon enough, a woman quite a bit older than any of us walked into the room with Mariana.

"Beth, Bella... This is Donna. She's Penny's aunt." Mariana told us with a grim expression.

Beth spoke up first, "It's lovely to meet you. I wasn't aware that Penny had an aunt. Her nor her sister Ana ever talked about you."

The grey headed lady nodded, "I'm aware. I was estranged from their mother from when Analise was a young girl. I heard of Analise's passing so I've come to take Penelope home with me."

I decided to step in this time. "Penelope will not be going home with you Donna. Analise passed away several months ago and you have never even bothered to call, so I'm not quite positive on how you got our address." I spoke firmly to her and she looked a little taken back from that.

"On top of that Donna, Analise had custody of Penelope once their parents passed. When Analise knew she was dying, she signed over her rights to me. Not you." Mariana spoke firmly just as Penelope started to stir awake.

Penny looked up to see what was happening and she furrowed her brow. "Mari?" Penny questioned and I couldn't help but sigh that she was feeling bigger.

Donna smiled a terrifying smile, I noticed Penny flinched back as well. "Hello dear. I've come to take you home where you belong. Not with these people." Penny raised her brows and I could tell she was getting mad. Bad thing was, I've never seen Penny mad.

"And who might you be?" Penny questioned.

"I am Donna, I was your mothers sister." The woman spoke, clearly not liking the attitude.

"Well I don't know you so I won't be leaving this house anytime soon. Please, get the fuck out." Penny told the woman firmly and I couldn't help but laugh. At least she said please.

"I can legally get custody of you Penelope." Donna told her, she was clearly angry now.

Penny laughed. "I highly doubt that. First of all, I turn 18 in about 6 months or so. Secondly, wouldn't the courts find it interesting how you never appeared when I was first kidnapped, beaten and raped by a couple? I may remind you, a couple that are still on the loose because the police haven't caught them. Or how you didn't show up when my sister died? I've never met you whereas I have known Mariana for literally my entire life. Also, Bella and Beth have both taken more care of me like their own and I'm not even biologically theirs. So go ahead, try to take them to court. But I have a list a mile long on why I should never have to see you again. So like I said, please get the fuck out of our house." Penny finished and I grinned.

Turning to Donna I chuckled a little, "You heard the girl. Get the fuck out of our house." I said the last part with a straight face.

Donna huffed before leaving the same way she came in. I ran over and gave Penny a big ole hug. "I am so proud of you! That took guts to say that to her!"

Mariana chuckled before hugging Penny too. "I haven't seen that woman since I was little. She's still bitter. I'm proud of you for standing up to her." Mari told her before Beth called her over.

Penny went over to Beth and cuddled right back into her lap. "Sorry mom for not calling you all your big names and having to use your real names." Penny apologized and Beth chuckled.

"I am not upset about that little one. I'm upset that you cursed and were disrespectful. I understand that you were upset, but I don't want you to be disrespectful or to say bad words. We could have handled it. On another note, I'm very proud of you for standing up for yourself. I love you baby." Beth told her while kissing her head.

"I love you to mom...and ma, and sorella." Penny finished the last part with a smile before Beth pulled her back into her embrace and they cuddled some more.

A/N: I literally haven't played with dolls in so long. I don't know how to write a playing scene :| Also, anyone who read the Queen's Baby, yes I did steal that same scene from my other book.
