Chapter Thirteen

I was loved.

Yeah, when Dad told me he had to leave, I didn't exactly feel like that. He grabbed my small suitcase that held some clothes and other things and brought it out to the car.

I made sure to give everyone lots of hugs and kisses before I left. I made sure I had my beanie on for the trip. Dad said her house was 20 minutes away at most but I wanted to be comfortable and the hat seemed to calm my nerves a bit.

It gave me a sense of security.

We arrived shortly after a car ride of music and me pouting.

Dad got out first and unbuckled my seat belt but I didn't get out.

"Honey, I know you don't want to go but I'll be there in the morning to pick you up, I promise."

"Pinky promise? Pinky promise me you won't leave me here?" I hold out my pinky and he grins.

"I pinky promise."

Our pinkies interlock and I step out of the car with his help.

We walk up to the door of the cottage-like house. There were lots of flowers and a sweet scent came from it. It smelled like cinnamon and bread.

It was cozy and felt like home a bit. The scent alone calmed my nerves but when Dad squeezed my hand while we were at the door, waiting for Niki, i felt okay with the situation at hand.

The door opened to a pretty girl with platinum blonde hair. She was really pretty.

She smiled and stepped inside more to let us in.

"Welcome! I'm guessing this is little Y/N? She's so cute!" I blush faintly from the compliment.

"Yep! She's a little nervous right now but she'll open up quickly. I hate to rush but my work expects me there soon. I just want to thank you again for such short notice."

"It's no problem, Phil! Just tell Wil I said hi and we're even, okay?" She giggles and Dad lets go of my hand while nodding.

He kneels down to my height before speaking to me once again.

"Okay, Sunshine, can you be good for Niki?" I nod and he grins, patting my head.

"I love you and I'll see you tomorrow, okay?"

"I love you too, Dad. I'ma miss you." I pout again.

He hugs me and then leaves.

I turn to Niki and she decides to properly introduce herself.

"As you already know, I'm Niki and I'll be taking care of you quite a lot over the next few weeks. I heard your name is Y/N? I think it's a really pretty name! Also, I love your beanie, did you and Wil make it?"

I think my nerves literally melted away. She's so sweet and nice like Wilby said!

"Mhm! And thank you, Wilby and I made it a little while ago.Umm, where do you want me to put my stuff?"

"Oh! Sorry, here, I'll take it for you! Let me show you to my guest bedroom. You'll be staying in there when you sleep over, okay? I hope you like the colour yellow. Wil said you did so I tried to theme it around that."

The small gesture made my heart melt. Wilbur was absolutely right. She's a literal angel.

"Thank you so much!"

She just grins and we drop my stuff off into the room before walking to what seems to be the living room.

"Well, what do you want to do, Y/N? We can do anything you'd like too!"

I shrug, it didn't really matter to me what we did.

"Okay, how about we bake something! I heard you're pretty good at it! Do you want to do that?"

Baking does sound fun.

I nod, I didn't like talking around new people.

"Got it. Anything in particular you'd like to make? We could make something like cupcakes, cookies, or cinnamon rolls. Anything you want to, dear."

From the cinnamon scent earlier I thought cinnamon rolls sounded nice.

"Could we try cinnamon rolls?"

"Of course! Let me grab the ingredients and we can start, okay?" We head to the kitchen and she brings out everything while I stand near a counter and look around.

It was a really pretty kitchen with lots of soft colours decorating the walls and cupboards.

It only took a few minutes before everything was set out and ready for us to start. Niki grabbed a book and looked until she found a good enough recipe.

"Okay, Y/N, could you bring me the big bowl I set out?" I did so and she thanked me.

We continued like this and the praise made me excited to help out more with stuff like this. She even let me ice the cinnamon rolls once they were baked!

A little icing was left over so we shared it.

The actual cinnamon rolls were delicious though. Niki was really good at baking.

"How about I put on a movie for you while I finish cleaning up? Does that sound good?"

"I could help with cleaning up! Dad never lets me help him with it. Is there anything I could help clean up?"

"Hmm," she thinks for a moment. "I can clean up the kitchen, how about you go and grab some blankets and pillows from the closet in the hallway? They should be low enough for you to reach. Could you set them in the living room, please?"

I nodded with a grin. I was going to help Niki! I made my way to the closet she mentioned and got the needed items. I made my way to the living room and set them on the couch as Niki walked in.

"Good job, sweetheart! You did so good!" She lightly ruffled my hair, congratulating me.

I yawned and smiled.

"Sleepy? You can take a nap while we watch the movie if you want. Do you want to watch a Disney movie?"

"That would be nice and yeah! Could we watch Sleeping Beauty?" I ask in hopes of watching a calming Disney movie.

"Of course, hun. Just let me pull up Disney+, okay? We can set up the couch with the blankets and pillows you did an amazing job grabbing for me. Then you can take a nap during the movie. If you want to, we can snuggle but only if you're comfortable with it."

Snuggles sound really nice right now.

"We can really snuggle? You're okay with that?"

She nods and rubs my cheek before grabbing the blankets and spreading them out on the couch. I help with the pillows and some other blankets. It only takes us a minute or two and she dims the lights once we are done.

"Alright, I'll put it on, get comfy." She grabs the remote and brings the movie up and clicks play as I shuffle under a blanket.

She sits beside me and pulls me closer to her side. My head rests on her shoulder as she plays with my hair.

Soon, Aurora, also known as the sleeping beauty, comes onto the screen and a realization comes to me.

"You look like her! You're pretty and she's pretty." The words tumble out of my mouth and Niki's hand stops mid stroke.

"You think I'm pretty?" Her voice was soft and even higher pitched than usual with slight disbelief.

I nod vigorously.

She smiles softly at me before moving me more onto her lap and resting my head on her chest.

Her fingers run through my hair once more. I laid on top of her chest like this until I fell asleep and when I woke up we were in a different room but still laying in a similar position.

I figured we were in her bedroom and she had taken me there once I fell asleep, similar to what Dad does when we fall asleep on the couch back at home.

Home.

I hadn't thought about home almost this whole time.

Niki felt like home too.
