Team8s and Counting

93. We Miss You, Auntie

 "Mommy! Mommy!" Bladey shouted, "Where's Auntie Barf Bag?"

"She's in her room, Bladester," Gaty said, "she's not feeling well right now."

Bladey, being the innocent 1 year old she was, had a suggestion, "Can we give her some medicine to make her feel better?"

Saw sighed, "She is taking some medicine sweetheart, but sometimes medicine doesn't make you feel all the way better."

Bladey frowned, "But I want to play with her! It's been forever since we've gotten to play!"

Saw placed a hand on her, "I know, but she needs some time to rest Bladey."

Bladey dreadfully walked away, sad that she couldn't play with Barf Bag.

The truth was, while Barf Bag physically was feeling a little better, she was an emotional wreck. Even the thought of seeing the very children who have lived with her would cause tears to stain her pillow. Donut was doing a little better, but it was very difficult for him to see his wife in such a state.

The best thing the team could do was leave them be. Every time one of the Team8s members tried to check in on her, she would usually want them to leave her alone.

However, Bladey wouldn't take no as an answer from her parents. Even her innocent self knew that Barf Bag needed some love from the team, even if it was small.

"Come on, Bladey," Gaty said, "want to go for a walk with Mommy and I?"

Bladey was hesitant at first, the thought of her Aunt occupying her mind, but she ultimately decided to go with her moms.

During their walk, Saw and Gaty were pointing out different elements of nature to her, both to make the walk more fun, and also to give her a better understanding of her surroundings.

Saw looked up at a bird flying in the sky, and pointed it out to Bladey, "Look, it's a bird Bladey, a bird!"

Bladey marveled at the flying creature, "The bird is very high."

Gaty nodded, "That's because they use their wings to fly in the sky!"

Bladey was impressed at the bird, "I want to fly too!"

Saw and Gaty laughed at their duaghter. Bladey was usually a quiet kid, so it was nice for them to see her start to talk more.

As the walk continued on, Bladeys eyes shifted from the sky to the ground, and she noticed that the colors were sticking out from the grass.

"Mommy?" She asked, "why is the grass purple?"

Gaty looked down at the grass, and understood what she was looking at, "That's a flower, Bladey! Flowers can be all sorts of colors."

Bladey laughed, marveling at the many flowers around her, "They look very pretty!"

Saw nodded, her inner preschool teacher beaming with joy, "They certainly are, Bladey! Do you want one?"

Bladey thought about it for a minute, "Sure! I want a pink flower!"

Saw reached down, and plucked a tiny pink flower for Bladey to hold for the rest of the walk, "Here you go Bladey!"

Bladey loved her new plant, "Yay!"

The three of them continued to walk, and eventually made it back home. Instantly, Bladey started going up the stairs with the pink flower. Saw and Gaty thought that she was just going to bring it to her room, but Bladey clearly had other plans.

"I'm giving this flower to Auntie BB Mommies! I want her to feel better"

Saw and Gaty looked at each other with concern. They didn't know how Barf Bag would feel about Bladey busting into her room, given her recent mental state.

Before Bladey could open the door to Barf Bags room, Gaty stepped in, "Maybe I should give this to Auntie Barf Bag."

Bladey looked angrily at her mother,"No! I want to give it to her!"

Gaty wanted to stop her form going in, but she ultimately decided to let Bladey go in by herself. Maybe then she would listen to her and leave Barf Bag alone, "Alright, but Mommy and I will be right here!"

Bladey instantly busted open the door, to find Barf Bag starting up at the ceiling, "BB?" She whispered.

Barf Bag lifted her head up from the pillow. She was not in a good mood, but knew in her heart of hearts that she couldn't just shew Bladey away, "What do you want, sweetie."

Bladey walked over to her bed, the pink flower in her hand, "I got this for you Auntie Barf Bag,"

For the first time that day, Barf Bag put on a genuine smile, "Why thank you, Bladey."

Bladey beamed, seeing her aunt smile. "Will this flower make you feel better?"

Barf Bag gently took the flower from Bladey's hand and held it close. "It already has, sweetie. Thank you so much."

Bladey climbed up onto the bed, snuggling next to her aunt. "I miss playing with you, Auntie Barf Bag."

Barf Bag tried to hold back her tears, "I miss playing with you too, Bladey. It's been..." Barf Bag started to choke up, "It's been one of the hardest weeks of my life. I'm sorry that I haven't gotten to spend as much time with you guys."

Bladey looked up at her with wide, understanding eyes. "It's okay, Auntie BB. I just want you to feel better. We all miss you."

Barf Bag wrapped her arms around Bladey, feeling a warmth she had been missing. "Thank you, Bladey. This means a lot to me."

Bladey embraced Barf Bags warmth, "I really want you to be happy again, Auntie Barf Bag!"

Gaty and Saw, who were listening to the entire conversation, smiled at each other, trying not to tear up themselves.

"I'm so glad to see her happy again," Gaty said, "How did she know how to make her feel better."

Saw chuckled, "Well, she's definitely your kid, that's all I have to say." 

..................................................

Okay, I have a lot to say down here, so please bear with me.

First off, let's start by addressing the elephant in the room. If you guys haven't noticed by now, I've changed my username! SunnyPeaches is the name I use on all my other socials. The reason why I didn't use it for Wattpad is that I was nervous that me writing a cheesy Team8s fanfic would have people on other platforms view me in a negative light. However, because you guys have been such a loyal and supportive audience, heck, forget what the people on Twitter/X think of me. So what if you don't like me writing a fan fiction, I have an amazing squad here who loves what I do0. 

Secondly, there's an event that I haven't told you all about that might change this books upload schedule a little. On Monday, I'm going to have spine surgery. It's not a major procedure, but I might need a bit to recover. This could mean me becoming a writing machine due to the boredom of being limited for this next week or so, or I might not be in the mood to write anything, I really don't know what will happen. I'm going to try my best to keep the upload schedule how it is, but I'll let you know if anything changes.

I hope you all enjoyed this chapter! It's been a while since I gave you all a Bladey chapter, and I thought this one would be perfect for her! See you in the next chapter!
