Opkepa Rattop Hedplei

Chapter 61

Well loved

In the next coming days, Clarke and Lexa allow Elisae to be as clingy as she wants to. Which means no matter how busy the day got, their schedule ALWAYS stopped around naptime. Clarke would head to snuggle Raven... well... if she didn't already have her strapped to her chest, that is. If she didn't, then Clarke would head there and sit right next to her wife, snuggling a lap full of Elisae and Taeya. Eventually, Yarla would come find her and they would get to painting murals together. Another thing this means, is that it was now fairly common for Clarke and Lexa to have an EARLY morning visitor. Always WAY before the sun got up, or either Heda for that matter. Amma tended to be nursing a fyucha (infant) in the early morning hours when Elisae would find her with her glowing plankton ball. Luna and Orlan were able to reproduce enough glowing plankton to start transferring out glowing orbs to kids. During the day these orbs stayed in the sunroom. At night they were little lifesavers for the strikon scared of the dark.

Each time Elisae would find Amma, the toddler was, almost always, barely awake herself. It seemed the strikon just simply wanted some Nomons snuggles. So Amma would change her diaper and together they would find the first gona or handmaiden to take her up to them. Blankie tied around her like a cape, stuffie tucked under her arm, and glowing ball in her little hands. Each time they would simply open the front door of the Heda's suite and put her down. It was pretty cute to watch the little girl toddle right over to that big bed. Always putting the ball on the floor where she would climb up... which was coincidently how Nann always knew Elisae was there. Her little plankton ball always marked her presence in that bed. It became so frequent that the gonas ended up making a little toddler step stool for her to use.

Normally Elisae would find a way to climb up by moving the curtains and either grabbing some furs to pull herself up, or finding a pajama sleeve to tug. And while this was adorable, the gonas didn't want the sleepy girl to fall or get hurt in this endeavor, so they came up with a solution. Using light weight wood, they formed little goufa sized steps. Lexa and Clarke got a kick out of it as they watched them measure it meticulously so the girl could climb up and the stairs still fit under the bed. That way the Hedas could stow it away when it was not being used. Even attaching a handle so the little girl could pull it out when she needed it. Ensuring to make it light enough Elisae could pull it out and cart it around on her own. Did they go retrieve the toddler JUST so they could test this theory out? You better believe it. The toddler was beside herself with happiness when she saw the little stairs JUST for her to snuggle with her Nomons. Clarke EVEN let Elisae pick out her FAVORITE colors to paint it with.

The real joy came when Nomon Wanheda allowed Elisae to help her paint the steps purple on their balcony. Well... after Nann stripped the strikon down to her birthday suit. Needless to say, Elisae was almost as thrilled by this as the painting adventure. Nann and Lexa had a blast watching the two paint the whole thing bright purple. Clarke even taught the toddler how to paint little flowers and hearts to decorate it with. Did it require a mermaid bath DIRECTLY after they finished? Like you wouldn't believe! Not that Elisae or Clarke argued with a mermaid bath. Both had fun playing with the bath toys together while Lexa and Nann desperately tried to un-purple their bodies. But the second that little girl got out and radiated with pride at her finished stairs, BOTH Nann and Lexa quickly deemed all of it worth it. Having to ask a gona to fetch Amma while they brushed hair and got both dressed. Only for Elisae to drag Amma animatedly to show her the little stairs the very SECOND the fisa walked in the door. Instructing her 'no's toucheds its! Dhey stills wets!' Then explained ALLL about how she helped make it pretty with Nomon Wanheda.

To say the maidens got a kick out of it would be an understatement. Always knowing when the toddler was there each morning by the stairs being pulled out and little glow ball set down beside it. Sending up a toddler breakfast plate and some clothes from Amma each time without question. Clarke decided it was by far one of the most adorable sights to open her eyes and find a little snuggled Elisae suckling her Nomon Heda. Sound asleep with her blankie tenderly tucked in around her and that stuffie under her arm. Always wedged perfectly between the two of them wanting to feel both her Nomons there. It has her smiling at the sight as Lexa feels her wife suddenly radiating with adoration. Peeking an eyelid open she smirks at her wife watching the toddler snuggle so happily.
