Could you love me?

Part 14

Scarlett wakes up and quickly notices another presence in bed. This causes her to wake up quickly looking over and see y/n cuddled into Lizzie who had both her arms wrapped protectively around y/n. Scarlett smiles before slowly slipping out of the bed to head to the kitchen.

Lizzie wakes up to the smell of tea being brewed. She slowly opens her eyes to see y/n still fast asleep on top of her. Lizzie notices y/n is still warm with a fever. She slowly lifts y/n up and carries her to the bathroom to change her before laying y/n back down on the bed. Before heading into the kitchen.

"Good morning." Scarlett says looking over at Lizzie as she walks in. "Didn't expect you home so quickly."

"Called in a few favors, I needed to be here with her." Lizzie says honestly as she pours herself a cup.

"Well y/n will be so excited that you're back. She keeps going on and on about mama this and mama that. She's pretty cute." Scarlett admits.

The name Mama confuses Lizzie for a second but she assumes Scarlett just switched on the names. "Yeah she is. Thanks again for doing this."

"Honestly it's no problem. I'm happy to help whenever." Scarlett says smiling at Lizzie who in turn smiles a bit before taking a sip of her tea.

"So what's your plan?" Lizzie asks.

"Well I'm working on pre production for a few projects but all filming is paused at the moment because of covid. Now I'll be under quarantine so I'll just relax in my hotel here for a few weeks. Other than that I guess I don't know." Scarlett says thinking out loud.

"Why don't you just stay here?" Lizzie asks honestly.

"I don't want to impose." Scarlett says looking at Lizzie trying to decide if she is honestly offering or not.

Before Lizzie could respond she hears y/n start to whine from the room.

Lizzie and Scarlett both head to the bedroom.

Once they step inside y/n rubs her eyes and looks up. Once y/n eyes land on Lizzie she immediately breaks into a big smile.

"Mommy!!" Y/n says immediately sitting up and holding her arms up.

"Hi babygirl." Lizzie says picking y/n up the bed and holding her close and kissing her head.

"You came." Y/n whispered, sounding a bit bigger.

"Of course I did." Lizzie says holding y/n close. "How about we get a bath started for you to cool you down?" Lizzie suggests.

Y/n just shrugs keeping a tight hold on Lizzie. "Scar, could you start one? I don't think someone is going to let go anytime soon." Lizzie whispers to her.

Scarlett smiles and heads into the bathroom to start one for her. Once it's filled she goes out and sees y/n curled up on lizzies lap fast asleep.

"She's been exhausted." Scarlett says, looking at the pair. Lizzie looks up with a questioning look. "She's been waking up a lot at night." Scarlett explains.

"Ahh makes sense. Well today will just be a slow cuddle day then. At least stay for lunch, it's the least I can do." Lizzie says hopefully.

Scarlett pauses a minute to think. "Lunch does sound nice." She adds with a smile before giving the pair some privacy.

Lizzie walks over to the bathroom still holding onto y/n before undressing both of them and sitting down in the tub. It was a bit cold for her liking but exactly what y/n needed.

Lizzie let y/n stay asleep on her chest. Rubbing her back with one hand and playing with her hair with her other hand. Every so often y/n would hum in response, happy to be back in her mommy's arms.
