"BELLA, BELLA"

A loud voice reverberated through the corridor, followed by a chorus of adorable giggles.

"BELLA STOP HIDING AND COME OUT AT THIS INSTANT"

She giggled and shook her head, knowing very well that he can't see her.

"Bella, I am warning you, if you are not going to come out at this instant, I will give all your dolls and princess to Ric"

Bella gasped at the threat.

These aren't just princesses and dolls, They're her kids, and she is their mommy. She raised them. Why is the world being so mean, trying to take them away from her ? And giving them to a scary monster who might eat them for dinner ? Oh no, she can't let that meanie named Ric eat her babies for dinner.

"Gotcha !"

Bella flinched ever so slightly, caught off guard by her brother's unexpected arrival, her little heart racing for a moment. Her wide eyes blinked in surprise.

Vincenzo chuckled as he saw the look of surprise on Bella's face.

"It's time for your bath, little explorer."

Bella's eyes widened once more as she attempted to crawl away from her inquisitive brother, but he deftly caught her little feet before she could unleash more of her playful stunts.

"No No No ... You can't hide more, now, come on, let's give you a bath" He said pulling her towards him.

"Noooooo, Bella need baby" She whinned.

"Bella's Babies are here only. She can have them after taking a bath" Vincenzo said and picked her whinning self.

"But Vinnyyy, Bella no like bath" She mumbled, pouting.

"Then what does Bella like ?" He asked as he kissed her cheeks and took her to her attached bathroom.

Her eyes sparkled.

"Bella likes babies, food- nuh uh not that yucky gross food but ice-ceam, waffy, cake, cholate and oh yes, Bella like fozen, Elsa, Anna, sow white, cindella, Aiel, Belle- you know Vinny, Belle is my favoite" She told him.

He made her sit on a toilet seat.

"Why ?"

"Becuz, we both have same names. I am Bella. She is Belle." Bella said with a most beautiful smile on her face. She felt proud of herself.

Vincenzo nodded, encouraging her to share more. "That's really amazing, Bells"

"You know, Vinny, She's got the most beautiful golden hair and the pettiest yellow dwess. She loves books, just like me, Vinny ! And she's so kind and brave."

"Oh just like you, princess"

"Yes yes yes, Vinny" She chirped, grinning.

"Oh, What adventures do you think Belle is going on today ?" Vincenzo asked, keeping her busy in conversation as he started preparing her bathing tub.

Bella's imagination soared as she narrated an enchanting tale of Belle's adventures, involving talking teacups, dancing candlesticks, and, of course, the Beast.

"You know Vinny, Beast was kinda scawy at fiwst, but then he's nice."

As she spoke, Vincenzo quietly gathered her bath supplies - a fluffy towel, a rubber duck, soap, and her cozy pajamas with a Belle picture.
