bad dream

You came rushing into the bedroom as fast as your tiny feet would carry you. With tears running down your cheeks you went straight over to Maria and shook her shoulder until she awoke.

"Mommy? Wake up!"

The urgency in your voice made Maria's eyes shoot open. She sat up and brushed her hand along your cheek.

"Y/N? What happened sweetheart?" She asked you and held out her arms.

The anxiety coursed through her. Her heart was pounding in her chest.

You put your head on her chest and sniffled. "Had a bad dream." You mumbled sadly.

"That's alright. Everyone has bad dreams now and then. It's just important to remember that that's all they are, just really bad dreams. Look," she pointed to Natasha's sleeping figure curled up beside her. "Your mom is here, I'm here. No one and nothing bad is gonna happen to you when we're with you."

You nodded and brought your knuckle up to rub at your eyes. You were tired. It was clear to see. But it was also obvious that you weren't letting go.

Maria's wise and comforting words might calm your wild imagination and worried thoughts but you still didn't wanna have to leave her side.

"Wanna sleep with us tonight?"

You gasped excitedly. "Yeah!"

Maria smiled and kissed your forehead, brushing her fingers through your hair. "Okay but you gotta be quiet. Mommy is still sleeping. We don't wanna wake her."

You nodded and went to sandwich yourself between Natasha and Maria. However, you remembered one very important thing. "My bear!"

You looked at Maria, silently pleading her to get your bear. "I'll go get it for you. Stay here."

She left the room and went across the hall to your room. Turning on your light, she noticed the blankets on the bed were all messy. You were obviously quick to run to your moms shared room.

Whatever you dreamt of must've really frightened you.

She grabbed your bear on the bed as well as your favorite blanket. It was soft and purple, which so happened to be your favorite color. You always slept like a baby when you had it with you.

Maria tiptoed back into the bedroom but it was clear that she didn't need to when she heard Natasha's voice.

The mattress dipped when she climbed back into bed, capturing Natasha's attention, as well as yours.

"You're awake?" Maria frowned.

"Yeah. She crawled into my arms."

She nodded, kissing your forehead once again.

She noticed your eyes had slipped shut and your mouth was agape just a tiny bit.

"She said she had a bad dream. Woke me up. She was crying and she didn't wanna go back to bed."
She brushed her fingers along Natasha's arm. Her words were a soft whisper. Natasha was exhausted.

"I love you. You're incredible with her." Natasha smiled tiredly. "Goodnight, Y/N. Sleep tight and have sweet dreams." Natasha whispered and kissed your head before yawning and closing her eyes.

Maria sighed contently and laid her head back on her pillow. She looked at you both sleeping soundly. Her heart felt so overwhelmed with love for you both.

"I love you both so much. Sweet dreams, my babies." She said and closed her eyes, falling asleep quickly and with a small smile on her face.
