The Rise of the Red Queen

14

Darius got me out while Andrew picked up a sleeping Cassady. "Little one show me where she is staying," Andrew directed heading for the elevator. I followed after him using the code for the penthouse before leading him to the room Cassady was staying in. Andrew layed her down in bed before covering her up and putting the pacifier in her parted lips. Andrew then picked me up carrying me out of the room and downstairs saying "Okay little one you be a good girl and leave her alone to nap. I am going to help Papi with the bags." He set me down in the living room before leaving. I turned and went off to Jasper's office just going in.

"Just a minute," Jasper said into the phone. "Did you have fun cub?" He directed to me. I walked over to him making grabby hands. Once he picked me up I answered with, "It was more fun with snap there but I still don't like shopping. Then Papi and Andy tried to make me eat but I wasn't hungry. Snap is napping now. She is worn out." I stuck my pacifier in my mouth and buried my face into him. "Do you want to snuggle and nap on my lap cub? You were gone for a few hours." Jasper asked. I nodded my head yes and latched my arms around him. "Okay cub. You get some sleep while I work," Jasper said while stroking my hair and returning to his phone call. I fell asleep like that snuggling into Jasper.

I woke up to him carrying me as I asked "Papa Bear where we going?" "To the foyer cub Tyler and Derek are here," Jasper said. Just as we got to the foyer the elevator went off with the doors opening revealing Tyler and Derek. "Tyty!" I exclaimed making grabby hands towards him. Tyler looked to Jasper for a moment before proceeding. "Hi there cutie!" Tyler said with matching enthusiasm taking me into his arms. "You two can go play. Derek you can join them if you desire or come with me. Cub I'm going to make pizza with extra cheese, pepperoni, and mushrooms. That way you and snap can eat it whenever you want once she wakes up." Jasper said leading them into the penthouse. "Play please," I said looking at Derek. "Okay cutie," Derek said before following Tyler to my playroom.

Today we colored for a while before playing with the activity center that had a bunch of mazes for beads on it. I went to switch to the next activity but Derek stopped me with "Cutie we need to pick up the coloring mess before we keep playing." It was said in a dominant voice that doesn't quite rival Andre's. However, it had me slipping farther into little space as I crawled to the coloring area putting stuff away. "Good job cutie now we can play some more," Derek praised. I crawled to the ball pit next making grabby hands at Tyler since he was closer. He picked me up putting me in the ball pit before sitting next to it. I laughed and giggled as I played making the occasional ball fly out of the pit.

I don't know how long I played but Derek was the one to pull me out of the ball pit. "Cutie time to pick up the balls," Derek directed setting me on the floor. I crawled around to the balls throwing them in the ball pit one by one missing over half the time but Tyler and Derek got them and put them away. "Good job cutie!" They praised me at the same time. "You help me reach up high?" I asked raising my arms to them and tilting my head to the side. Derek picked me up holding me on his hip as Tyler answered "Do you want some chocolate chips again cutie?" I nodded my head yes a few times looking at him with wide innocent eyes. "You eat something else first cutie and you'll get one chocolate chip for every bite. If you finish your food you'll get ten bonus chocolate chips for being such a good girl. So cutie what do you want to eat?" Tyler negotiated. "Pizza," I answered simply snuggling into Derek more.

Tyler led the way to the kitchen which was empty but had the pizza already cut sitting on top the stove. "Cutie I'll get your lunch ready. Do you want help eating again today?" Tyler questioned. I simply nodded my head yes to answer. "What do you want to drink today cutie?" He asked. I shrugged my shoulders not knowing what I wanted.  "A bottle it is," Tyler determined before getting everything ready for my lunch.  He showed Derek the way to the dining room before asking "Where do you sit cutie?" I pointed to the high chair and Derek put me in it using the five point harness to keep me in place. Meanwhile, Tyler put the plate of cut up pizza, fork, bottle, chocolate chips, and an empty bowl on the table. I was then fed twelve bites of pizza before I was full turning my head away. "You all done cutie? There is four more bites until you get extra chocolate chips." Tyler asked. I nodded my head yes I was full. "Alright cutie we will get you out of there and you can have your chocolate chips. Do you want to go with us to Jasper's office now?" Derek said as he started doing just that. I shook my head no and once I was set on my feet I grabbed my bowl of chocolate chips before taking off out of the room and upstairs.
