Their Little Princess

Trusting can be fun

After I agreed to go to the mall everyone got really excited. Xander and Xavier begged me to allow them to pick out my outfit for the mall. They claimed that getting ready was always the funniest part. It kinda made me not want to go anymore because it was reallyyyyyyyyyyy boring. Luckily they were dead wrong. As soon as we got to the mall I was immediately overwhelmed by all the things to see and do, and not to mention the amount of people that were there. Ace carried me into the mall because they were worried about my feet, that might've been the only reason I hadn't passed out from fear yet.

Right now we're in a store called GAP, I have no idea what that is but the twins seem to love it so I guess it can't be that bad, then again they said the best part was getting ready.

"Are you okay, sweetheart?" Axle asks me just as we walk into the store.

I think I like Axle, he wasn't mad when I said that I was scared earlier and he's been really sweet. Although Lucas could be sweet too and I didn't like when he was sweet.

"I'm ok, I'm just a little overwhelmed," I tell him deciding to trust him just a little bit.

He smiles and nods. "That's ok sweetheart, it is a little scary especially when you've never been before. You don't have to be scared though I promise nothing will happen to you here, we're gonna get you a bunch of clothes and toys, and anything else you want. Okay?" He asks smiling softly at the end.

I can't help but frown a little at the mention of getting all this stuff. "B-b-b-b-but I don't have any money," I say sadness gripping my heart.

I watch as his feature fall as well and I can't help but start crying. I didn't mean to make him upset I just wanted to tell him I couldn't buy anything. I feel my heart start to race as I try and think of something to make him happy again, I don't want him to be mad at me. Ace is twice the size of Lucas and if Lucas was terrible I can only imagine what Ace could do. I feel the tears pang my eyes just as Ace begins to speak again.

"You won't have to pay for anything neonata (baby girl. We're you family we're paying for everything. The only thing you have to do is tell us all that your little heart desires, nothing is too much for our princess," He smiles at me making my heart flutter.

I smile back at him and I begin to think of everything that I might possibly want. I know he said nothing is too much but I don't want to be greedy and ask for too much. All I really want is love, and family, but you can't buy that. I want someone to care about how I'm feeling or if I slept good. I sure you can't buy that, but maybe this is a step in the right direction.

Wanting to be carful about what I asked for so I didn't come off greedy I looked around the store carefully. I looked around the store carefully making sure to scan every shelf, not wanting to possible mess up my one chance to get something I wanted. I scanned the shelves one by one even went back and re checked them but nothing seemed to call out for me. I know they probably wouldn't waste their time going to another store just for me and so the fact that I couldn't find anything hurts. I really wanted to get something just for me but now that I don't see anything that chance is gone. I feel myself about to tear up at the sudden disappointment and I can't help but shove my face into Ace's shoulder, wanting to just go home. I don't make a sound as I softly cry, when a hand comes up to my back.

"What's wrong baby girl?" Ace asks me rubbing my back in soft circles.

I shake my head rapidly, and try to swallow down my tears. "Nothing," I mumble against his shoulder.

"Nonsense, I know you're upset, but I can't help you if you don't tell me what's wrong," He says softly, as he starts to bounce me.

"I-I-I-I don't want anything, but I really wanted something," I cry, realizing how bad I sound.

"Hey hey hey, that's ok if you don't want anything from here. We still have plenty of stores to go to before we have to go," He soothes me gently still bouncing me.

Once again my hear flutters as I lifts my head from his shoulder to meet his gaze.

"Really?" I ask him wiping my tears as the hope grows in my belly.

"Really!" He smile and gently moves my hands to wipe my tears more gently.

"You don't have to get upset baby girl, if you ever feel something I'd rather you come to me or dad, or one of your brother. We hate to see you cry, especially over something that we can fix. Okay?" He asks me still smiling at me softly.

I smile widely at him and nod my heart now beating fast with excitement. We left GAP about ten minutes later, only after everybody put at least four items in the cart for me since I refused to chose anything myself. We went to Toys R Us next, I wasn't sure what that place was but Dad assured me that I'd love it. We walk in and the first thing I see is a tower in the middle of the floor built all the way to the ceiling with cute fluffy stuffed animals. I couldn't hold back my grin as we walked through the store. Ace first lead my down a bunch of isles with something called barbies and other dolls that looked liked they'd kill me in my sleep. I immediately told Ace and he took me to a different isle. This isle had all sorts of things, like this thing called play-dough, kinetic sand, blocks, and some adorable stuffed animals. A laughed grin once again took over my features and I pointed to the two things I wanted. I pointed to the blocks first and then to this cute little brown teddy bear with a red bow tied around its neck.

"That's all you want princess?" Ace asked me with a smile as he handed me the teddy bear and then put the blocks in the cart.

I nodded with the biggest smile on my faces as I pulled the fluffy bear close to my chest. "Thank you," I said just as a blush started to cross my cheeks.

"Of course princess," He chuckles when I shove my face into his shoulder again.

We walked around Toy R Us a bit more, but after they realized I wasn't gonna pick anything else out they gave up. Once we left, they took me to a bunch more stores but I was back to not choosing anything and they just ended up putting any and everything into the cart. The entire time we were in the mall, which was about a two hours or so, a smile never left my face. I guess trusting every once an a while could be fun. Once we finally left the mall I was exhausted from all the laughing I did, who knew dad could be so funny. As soon as we got into the car I was knocked out cold next to Ace.

Thank you so much for reading this chapter, I know it's been forever since I've posted but I'm trying to do better. I hope y'all are all having an amazing year so far and life has been good. I've been busy but overall I'm doin alright. Anyway thank you once again.

Question of the day: Who is your favorite character so far and why?

Mine I don't think I could really answer this seeing as I wrote it and I know who I wanted to make the favorite, but if I had to chose, it would obviously be Ace. He seems to just understand what she needs and I just love Ace, he's just that good.

Thank you so much! Have a good night!- Koko
