The Queen's Baby (our little princess)

chapter 3

Isabella Pov

I was cuddled into Queen Gloria, the mean man said something nasty to me something along the lines of 'little pet' and it made me really really uncomfortable

Then he grabbed my chin hard and it hurt so bad, and Queen Gloria came towards me and hugged me tight

She kept whspering sweet nothings to me and helped me get my breathing under control, I didn't hear anything that happened around me

After a while I felt a warm hand on my back rubbing it soflty and I relaxed into Queen Gloria more, feeling a lot calmer than before

Suddenly feeling self conscious I pulled away and stood straight and wiped under my eyes sniffling slightly

"I'm sorry" I whispered softly not daring to look up at them "are you okay honey?" Someone asked me softly I think it was Queen Gloria

I hesitantly nodded, feeling silly for getting upset over such a small thing "you have nothing to be sorry about little one.. We apologize that a bad man could come near you in our presence"

This time I think it was Queen vivian, I didn't give any reply but continued to look down and gave a small nod

"look up sweetheart, it's okay" I heard Queen Gloria say, even though I didn't particularly want to comply I felt myself looking up at them shyly

My face was still sticky from crying earlier and I raised my fists to rub at my eyes, they were itchy "don't rub at your eyes honey"

It was Queen Vivian this time, taking hold of my fist gently, successfully making me stop rubbing my eyes and looking up at her with a small pout on my lips

"would you like to stay with us tonight hun? We can get you a warm bath and some food" Queen Gloria asked me gently her voice a little hesitant

I looked at her tilting my head slightly "but I have a apartment" I whispered softly, I didn't exactly have a job, but my parents left me enough money to never have to work and I was happy with that

"sweetheart a little one like you shouldn't be staying alone, have you ever slipped before?" It was Queen Vivian again she moved her hands from my wrist and cupped my cheek gently

With a look in her eyes that I could only decribe as affection and care "i-i try not to, I haven't slipped before fully... But I can take care of myself!"

I replied, getting worked up while coming to the end, I could feel myself starting to get worked up again and a fresh set of tears fell down on my cheek, Queen Vivian wiping them away

"we are not saying you can't honey, we are saying you don't need to anymore, you don't have to hold back anymore you can be little or big anytime you want and we'll take care of you" Queen Gloria said softly

Her words were very honest and I could see the reality behind them in the way she spoke "okay you're highness" I replied in a whisper

Maybe this could be better than returning home to/staying home in an empty house "call me Gloria or Ria and that's Vivian ot vivi as I like to call her, but I'm sure she'll make an exception for you"

Q-gloria said to me giving me a smile and her statement made me giggle "shall we get you in a nice bath little one?"

Vivi aksed softly she had come to stand beside me puting her arm around my shoulder in a side hug "yes please" I replied, following Ria who led the way, me and Vivi following behind her.

Gloria Pov

She's so sweet, vivi was helping her bath, we didn't want to overwhelm her with both of us hovering over her
