Aquamarine

Nightmare

Creed POV

When I first laid eyes on Aqua I immediately adored her. She was so cute and still had the face of innocence even after everything she went through. You could still see the pain in her eyes. At such a young age no one should have gone through what she did. I'm not as involved into the mafia as my family is, but I do know where lowlife's like her sperm donor go when they come into my family's clutches.

After dinner we all go to our rooms. I take a shower, get dressed and lay down for bed.

I dream of a happy family with their newest member with vibrant beautiful blue eyes.

Aqua POV

After dinner Rhea and Apollo take me upstairs to their room. Their room is huge and beautiful. They have a huge bed in the middle of the room. To the left of the room I saw what looked to be a bathroom and to the right of what looked to be a closet.

"Do you want to take a bath ángelos?" Apollo asked.

I nodded my head because when the nurse gave me a bath it felt nice to be clean again. All the dirt that was on me when my father stopped bathing me was feeling heavy.

They took me to the bathroom where I saw a huge tub and a couple feet away was a huge shower.

'Do you want some bubbles bambina?" Rhea showed me a pink bottle that had a weird blob man on it covered in bubbles.

I nodded my head happily causing them both to chuckle.

Rhea starts the bath and puts the bubbles in, then turns to me and starts taking off my clothes to put me in the tub.

She sets me in the tub and Rhea and Apollo look to be holding their breaths as they register my reaction.

I'm not going to cry or throw a tantrum, I actually like baths so I smile and start playing with the bubbles as they both visibly exhale and smile.

Rhea POV

We watch as she plays with the bubbles occasionally smiling and letting out a cute little giggle whenever Apollo would blow the bubbles towards her or make a little bubble beard on her cute little face.

After 30 minutes she starts yawning and that's when we know to wash her up and put her to bed.

After washing her and getting her dressed, I lay her down and she passes out almost immediately.

Me and Apollo watch her as she sleeps, and I know it's probably a little creepy but we already lost one baby before we even got to hold her, we're not going to lose this one before we even get to know her.

After watching her for a few minutes, me and Apollo get ready for bed and lay on either side of her.

"Look at our little ángelos. She's so precious." Apollo says looking at her lovingly.

"I agree. I don't know what I would do if we lost her. I don't think I'd make it Apollo." I say my eyes watering

"Don't worry my love, we're going to protect her with our lives till the end of time." He tells me.

"I love you." I tell him.

"I love you too."

And we drift off to sleep with our little bambina I between us.

Aqua POV

I dreamt that I was still with my "father" but it wasn't a dream. It was the day I got the worst beating of my life.

Dream/Flashback

I was hiding from my father. He came back drunk and he brought friends. They all took one look at me and I immediately knew to run and hide. So I did.

"Get back here you little skatá!" My father yelled.

I had a special hiding spot that I usually went to when it got bad, but something told me this was going to be the worst one yet.

Little did I know just how right I was.

I was there for a few hours and when it got quiet I thought it was safe to come out. Little did I know that the moment I would step out I would be grabbed.

My father grabbed me the moment I stepped out and dragged me to the living room where his friends were waiting with sinister smiles on their faces.

"You shouldn't have run away from me daughter." My father said with a sinister glint in his eyes.

Then all of a sudden I'm being knocked to the ground and being kicked and punched by several people. I start to lose consciousness when I feel someone shaking me.

"Aqua! Come on sweetie wake up. You're safe, wake up."

"Come on ángelos wake up!"

I sat up with a jolt with Rhea, Apollo and my brothers all looking at me with concern in their eyes.

That's when I realized I must have woken them up with my nightmare.

'I'm sorry for waking you all up.' I signed.

"Never apologize for having a nightmare Aqua. It's not your fault." Damon said to me.

Everyone nodded their heads in agreement.

"You're a Blaze now and Blaze's stick together no matter what. You're our daughter, our ángelos. We're always going to be here." Apollo said.

I nodded and smiled slightly.

"Do you wanna go back to sleep?" Rhea asked.

'I'd like to try.' I signed.

They all nodded.

"We'll see you in the morning aderfáki." Atlas said and all my brothers walked out of the room.

"Ok let's go back to sleep bambina." Rhea said and we all laid back down and I fell back asleep knowing I was safe and loved. Something I haven't felt since I was 2. I know it's a little soon to be trusting people I just met, but something told me that they could be trusted and I was going to trust this feeling for as long as possible.

Ok so I know it's been a minute but hey at least I'm here and I updated.

To make up for the update loss I'll maybe update again tomorrow.
