Bonding (Test Tube and Bow)

Test Tube smiled happily as she trotted towards her daughter. This was the first time in months that she had ever seen the girl. Or, well... the baby. The competition had been so time-consuming, that all she wanted to do was hold her little bow.

"Hi!" The robot greeted, giggling.

The little girl looked up at her mother, then gave her a shy smile that made Test Tube melt. She walked closer to them and knelt.

"Hi there. How are you today?" She asked softly as Bow toddled closer, reaching for her.

"Mama," She cooed, making her mother's heart soar.

She picked her up with ease, holding her close to her chest. The little girl nuzzled into her. "My beautiful, sweet little princess."

Bow giggled before grabbing onto her Mom. She gave her a small tug and giggled again when Test Tube gasped quietly. 

"Hey, baby, let's go back to the cabin... alright?"  She whispered, kissing Bow on the head.

With that said, she stood up and began walking back home, bouncing the smaller girl occasionally.

After about five minutes they arrived back at the house. Test Tube both put Bow down in the living room before heading up to the bedroom—trying to find Bow's favorite blanket.

"Mommy!" A voice called out.

"Yes, honey?" She asked as she made her way down the stairs.

"Play with me!" The toddler demanded in her tiny voice.

"Alright, come here," She replied, walking over to where she sat down.
Bow reached out and grabbed a baby doll, putting it right next to her as Test Tube watched. It took her some effort, but eventually, she managed to reach the toy.

The mother gasped, "Good job!" She praised. Bow beamed and hugged the doll tightly as Test Tube kissed her on the forehead. She held her baby close, rocking her slightly. They just sat like that for a few moments.

When Test Tube finally pulled away, petting the little girl—her hand gently cupping the side of her daughter's face—she saw a look that could only be described as pure joy on Bow's face.

A single tear dropped down Test Tube's face.

"Oh god," She thought, "I'm... way too emotional."

She leaned down and pressed a kiss on Bow's forehead.

"I love you, baby. Always remember that... okay?" Test Tube whispered, getting up.

Bow giggled, smiling wide, her mother then went to kiss her once again—though, this was cut off by her daughter's flinching.

"Ow! Mom! Ow!" Bow exclaimed, clinging to the taller figure.

"Oh, hey, hey... It's alright, okay? Let Mama take a look at that." Test Tube whispered, stroking the spot where Bow had pointed out.

The spot that had stung the girl was the same spot that always had, Test Tube had fixed it before. The little one let go of her mother's hand and stared at the tube, before allowing Test Tube to blow a raspberry at her. That resulted in a giggle from the little girl.

"There we go!" Her mother said softly, kissing Bow on the cheek.

But then—Bow yawned.

"Awww, what's wrong, honey? You tired?" Test Tube asked, petting her head.

"Tired... Momma, I tired..." The little girl mumbled, her eyes already closing. Test Tube then picked her up and grabbed Bow's pacifier from the coffee table, coaxing it into her mouth.

Bow accepted it immediately, suckling on it rhythmically, it seemed too big for her, but she liked that. The little one then slowly fell asleep, her thumb firmly gripping her mother's finger, who smiled gently at the sight.

"My sweet angel." The mother whispered, then kissed the girl on the forehead a final time.

She sighed, "I love you."
