Helping Aurora

19

After a long afternoon of swimming, the small family of three settle themselves in the couples large king sized bed.

Due to being separated from her mama for the majority of the day, Aurora had point blank refused to sleep in her own bed and neither Olivia or Scarlett had tried to convince her otherwise. She was currently curled up against Scarlett's chest, pacifier bobbing steady between her lips as she clings to the hand Olivia was gently grazing over the side of her face.

"Such a sleepy baby," Scarlett murmurs tenderly as she leisurely strokes the little ones back, fingertips affectionately tracing the edge of her diaper on their journey down as her lips place gentle, but lingering kisses to her forehead. "Are you ready for night night?"

Aurora says nothing, but does stare up at her mama with a look of awe on her face.

Olivia however, hums her agreement as the pad of her thumb traces over the soft, warm skin of Aurora's cheek. "I think she is." She muses, her own head coming gown to rest on Scarlett's shoulder.

Aurora blinks sleepily as she lets out a deep exhale through her nose, her warm breath hitting the skin of her mama's chest. She meets her mommy's knowing gaze, and can't help but flush as she turns her head to hide. Olivia grins fondly at the sight, pressing a kiss to the little ones head before gesturing to the shower.

"Go ahead," Scarlett nods, accepting the kiss Olivia places against her cheek, eyes lingering shamelessly on her wife's ass as she leaves the room. With a wistful sigh, she brings her attention back to the little one who was more or less dozing off in her arms with her pacifier now hanging half out of her mouth.

"Alright pumpkin," Scarlett murmurs, shifting the little one so she was cradled in her arms. Aurora looks up at her sleepily, her suckles on her pacifier regaining strength as she rubs at her eyes.

"Mama," she whispers with a quiet whine, tugging at Scarlett's shirt, and the woman nods knowingly as she pulls up her sleep shirt and coaxes the searching mouth to her breast.

Aurora spits out her pacifier, mouth opening wide when she feels her mama's nipple graze against her bottom lip. Scarlett smiles tenderly as she brings the little ones head forward, making sure her latch was both deep and comfortable for the both of them before letting out a soft sigh and settling back against the headboard of the bed.

Aurora suckles softly as her hand holds her mama's breast to her face, a quiet squeak emanating from the back of her throat when she gets her first full of milk.

Scarlett laughs softly in amusement as she gently grazes the pad of her thumb over the gentle curve of the lips wrapped around her breast, "Is that nice?" She wonders, earning herself a bashful nod as the little ones eyes sleepily flutter closed. 

With a soft hum, Scarlett brings her hand down and begins placing steady pats to Aurora's padded behind. The little one continues to steadily nurse for the next twenty minutes, soft snuffles escaping her lips as she swallows mouthful after mouthful of milk.

It wasn't long until she falls into what Scarlett likes to call a milk coma, her suckles so soft Scarlett knew she was being used as no more than a pacifier. Milk was pooled at the corner of her lips, dripping down her chin and the mother couldn't help but laugh softly as she wipes it away.

Just as she goes to replace her breast with an actual pacifier, the bathroom door opens and outcomes Olivia clad in nothing but a towel. The sound alone was enough to rouse the sleeping little one, the corners of her lips slipping into a frown as a quiet whimper escapes her lips.

"Shit, sorry." Olivia was quick to apologise after realising what she'd done, securing the towel a little tighter around her body before carefully heading over to the duo and offering out her arms.

After successfully managing to exchange her nipple for one of the many pacifiers laid dormant on her nightstand, - an action of which earns herself yet another unhappy whine, Scarlett allows her wife to take their little ones into her arms before placing a kiss to her forehead and disappearing into the bathroom to take a shower of her own.

Aurora continues to whine unhappily as Olivia settles herself in the rocking chair, the mother cooing quietly beneath her breath as she uses her feet to begin rocking them back and forth. Aurora was curled up small in her lap, legs curled up against her hip as her head nestled itself between the crook of her arm and breast.

"Shh shh. Mommy's here, baby. You're okay." Olivia soothes, leaning down and pressing a gentle kiss to the little ones tiny button nose as her hand combs through soft blonde tresses. Despite her actions, the little one stills seems unsettled, and Olivia lets out a knowing hum as she tugs down her towel allowing the little one to nestle against bare skin instead.

And just like that, Aurora stills, cheek flush against her mommy's breast. Olivia couldn't help but grin in amusement as she continues with the gentle ministrations against the little one's bare back, not being able to help herself as she cranes her head down and presses her lips against the little ones warm forehead.

"There we go. Good girl. You're such a good girl."

"She asleep?" A soft voice fills the silence of the room, and Olivia looks up to see Scarlett leaning against the doorway of the bathroom, dressed in an oversized shirt and underwear.

Olivia couldn't help but look her up and down, flushing slightly at the knowing look Scarlett sends her in response. Clearing her throat, Olivia nods her head, watching as Scarlett steps forward and makes gentle work of lifting the now sleeping little one up into her arms.

Aurora's legs hang limply either side of her waist, tiny hands instinctively clinging to her mothers shirt as she suckles sleepily on her pacifier. In response, Scarlett holds her close, a tender hand grazing gently over her back.

"Ten minutes." Was all Scarlett says as she sends Olivia a knowing look, leaving the room with the intention of putting the little one in her own bed for the night, and although Olivia knew it would be a futile attempt on Scarlett's part, -because Aurora absolutely hated sleeping alone and made that fact known each every time it was even attempted- she would at least last a few hours and that would be a few hours she knew both herself and Scarlett needed.

With a shiver, she strips off completely and climbs into the bed.

She could not wait.
