Averie couldn't really sleep, she was off and on the bed, she knew she was in thethe safest place but she still got frightened, even by the littlest of things. She constantly repeated in her mind that she was safe and no longer in danger. Her arms wrapped around her knees, she rocked herself back and forth as tears flooded down her face. Her sniffles and whimpering was just enough to wake Masha up, Masha threw on her silk robe, going to the guest room. Masha "hey princess are you okay", Averie "I feel like they are here, every sound I hear makes me flinch", Masha "you are more than safe right now, you wanna know why they can't ever get to you again", Averie "why", she whimpered, Masha "because me and Kelvin will remain your parents and protection. No one is going to ever hurt you again, we won't let that happen baby. You're safe now, in my arms, in his arms, in our arms. You're safe baby, you're safe", Masha picked her up and held her in her arms, Masha "do you want me to stay with you until you fall asleep", Averie "actually can I sleep with you and Kelvin", Masha "of course you can baby", they headed back to the room, the two of them laid down. Masha "I hope she's okay", Kelvin "babe she'll be fine", Masha "okay". The two of them finally fell asleep. The morning after. Kelvin "hey. How long have you been up", Masha "just an hour", Kelvin "are you okay", Masha "I've got a headache", Kelvin "did you take something", Masha "yeah", Kelvin "how's Averie", Masha "well she was frightened again. I found her shaking, she was whimpering", Kelvin "how long will it take for her to realize that she is safe", Masha "being that the studio was the safest place, we'll at least that's what we thought until what happened, had happened. We to get her like a beanbag or like a cozy chair, and put it somewhere in the house. If at any point she starts to feel like she's not safe she can go there and calm down", Kelvin "that sounds like a good idea", Averie "MASHA", Masha rushed to their daughter. Masha "what's wrong baby", Averie "I had a nightmare Masha. Why does it keep happening to me", Masha "oh baby. You're alright, you're alright", Averie cried in Masha's chest, Masha "you're alright baby. You're gonna be okay baby", Averie "I hate it", she screamed, Masha "shh I've got you baby. I've got you. Baby you're safe", there was a knock at the door. Averie "who is that", Masha "I don't know. Maybe we should go see", Averie took Masha's hand and they headed to the door. Kelvin "it's a package", Masha "what is it", Kelvin "it says it's for you", Averie "for me", she said raising an eyebrow, Kelvin "yep for you. I already used the knife to cut the edges of the box, you can open it", Averie opened the box. Averie "what's this", Masha "so we thought it would be a good idea to get you this. If at any point you feel down, have bad anxiety, or just not having the best day you could to this beanbag and calm down. We're gonna put it somewhere in the house, anywhere you want it", Averie "okay".

 We're gonna put it somewhere in the house, anywhere you want it", Averie "okay"

Kelvin "is she taking a nap", Masha "yeah, she is", Kelvin "gosh what did I do to deserve someone as gorgeous as you", Masha "I don't know. You just do", Kelvin "I love you", Masha "I love you too. Where are you going", Kelvin "just to the store I should be back in like a few hours", Masha "it doesn't take you that long to go to the store", Kelvin "I have a few other things to do", Masha "okay", Kelvin "have fun with baby girl", Masha "okay. I love you", Kelvin "I love you too", Masha stood with Averie, Averie "are we doing anything today", Masha "I don't know honey. Kelvin just left so I'm not sure if we are doing anything", Averie "okay", Kelvin got to the studio as fast as he could. Miljan "are you really doing this", Kelvin "yes. I love her so much. I wanna spend the rest of my life with her", Miljan "did she question you", Kelvin "yeah she told me it shouldn't take that long to go to the store but I told her that I have other things to do", Miljan "she's with Averie right"? Kelvin "yeah", Miljan "how is she", Kelvin "still trying to settle down. She still needs to understand that she's safe with us, she's still a bit scared and frightened", Miljan "poor girl. Did Kurt say why he did what he did to her", Kelvin "no. I have no interest in hearing him out, there is no excuse for the harm he put her through. It would have been even worse if we didn't get to the studio when we did. What if he had raped her, like all that lies in my head", Miljan "he's not allowed here or any place that has the studio name. She's safe", Kelvin "you should tell her that. It's hard for her", Miljan "let's start decorating", Kelvin "okay", the two of them started decorating the studio, it wasn't usually opened on Saturdays so it was the perfect time to make it happen. Miljan "did you tell her she has to come here", Kelvin "no I didn't. Once we finish decorating and all that I will tell her to start heading this way", Miljan "okay". Averie "can I stay in my pajamas", Masha "I'm not sure baby, Kelvin actually just texted me and told me that he wants us to meet him at the dance studio", Averie "but isn't it closed on the weekends", Masha "yes it is but we are allowed to be there on weekends. Yeah he wants us to come, we gotta get dressed", the two of them got dressed and headed to the path train taking it to 33rd Street, and then they walked four blocks to the dance studio. Masha "what are you doing here", Deanna "Kelvin wanted me to blindfold you", Masha "what", Deanna put the blindfold over her face and guided her into the elevator, Averie pressed the button for the second floor. Averie "Kelvin", Kelvin "hey my girl", Averie "are you proposing to Masha", she whispered in his ear, Kelvin "yeah. Actually have something for you. Come here", Kelvin held her hands in his, Kelvin "if I could only give you one thing in this life. I would give you the ability to see yourself how I see you every single day, your beauty, your kindness. How happy you make me and how proud I am of you. Perhaps then you would be able to understand just how special you are to me. To I bought this for you to show you that you are the world to me, I'm gonna protect you, keep you safe, and love you", Averie hugged Kelvin, "I love you princess", Averie "thank you. I love you", Masha "I can't see over here. Hello", Kelvin "reach your hands out I've got you", Masha "babe I can't see", Kelvin "just reach your hands out", Masha "I'm holding my hands out babe", Kelvin took Masha's hands guiding her over to the decorations.

Kelvin "Averie's gonna take your blindfold off", Masha "okay", Averie untied the blindfold, Masha kept her eyes closed, she was too nervous to open them

Masha covered her mouth in shock, tears coming down her face. Kelvin "you are beyond so special and so precious to me. I love you so much, I can't even express my feelings to you, I mean I do it everyday and it's so real.
