We'll Look After You, We Promise

Chapter 41

Isabella had managed to sleep the entire flight which both women were over the moon about. She did, however, wake up big and in a bit of the mood. She wasn't too sure why herself and she felt guilty for having an attitude with her Mamas but she just felt off. Walking through the busy airport added fuel to the raging fire that had already begun. The girl lingered behind both women as they collected bags and were discussing plans about meeting up with "Nonno" or going to the rental first. Isabella wasn't sure why but it annoyed her that they weren't giving her any attention or asking what she wanted to do. This was her vacation too. Her first real vacation at that!

Mindlessly scrolling her phone, she read all the messages she had received from her original egg donor that continued putting her into a sour mood. She didn't understand why the woman and her husband wouldn't just let her live her life without them for once. The brunette was snatched out of her thoughts with a gentle tug to her wrist as she snapped her head up, making eye contact with her Momma's warm chocolate eyes. She wanted to melt and sob right then and there but controlled herself.

"Come on Bambina, let's go to the rental house first and see if you need some more rest before exploring the area. We will be here all week, we have time." The Italian's accent practically sang comfort into the girl's ears as she nodded along with what her Momma said. She didn't want to get into any trouble with either woman at all on this trip but even she knew it was bound to happen.

Taking her own bag from the woman's shoulder, she firmly grabbed her Momma's hand and practically clung to the woman's side as Carina guided them through the busy airport. Maya was on the other side of the girl, giving her reassuring words and gentle pats on her shoulder to remind Isabella she was still there. Her grumpy mood was diminishing with both women finally giving her affection and attention, which realistically if she had just asked, they would've done it.

They had finally made it to where the food court was, Maya and Isabella sitting at a table while Carina took care of getting a rental car for them. Squirming in her seat, the girl realized she hadn't been to the restroom since their departure in America and it was becoming urgent by the second. Suddenly feeling too shy to notify her Mama, she tried to make it less obvious of her dilemma but Maya took great pride in being able to read her baby like an open book.

"Sweetie, do you need me to take you potty real fast? Did you already go in your pull up?" The blonde whispered, noticing how red the girl's face got from the questions. Tears sprung to Isabella's eyes, wanting to be a big girl but also wanting Mama to just handle everything for her. She quickly pointed to the restroom signs, hoping Maya would understand what she was saying.

Collecting their phones and the girl's hand, she ushered them to a stall quickly and assisted Isabella in pulling everything done. Barely making it in time, the girl sighed in relief once she began using the toilet. She sniffled, the almost accident being big making her emotional along with jet lag and wanting another nap taking a toll on her. She wanted Momma back in her line of vision and to nurse immediately. Helping the sleepy, emotional girl wipe before assisting to pull everything back up was a process. Helping wash their hands was a bit easier as the girl happily ran to her Momma as soon as they exited the restroom. It seemed Isabella was going from big to maybe preschool age, which they hadn't seen in a while.

Crawling into Carina's lap once the woman sat down, Isabella whined for cuddles and attention while the Italian spoke to her wife about their rentals secured in place. Straddling her Momma's lap and resting her head on the woman's shoulder, Isabella instantly melted into her Momma's embrace as she rocked the duo.

"And to think someone used to be solely a Mama's girl. I think she betrayed me to be your girl." The blonde winked at the Italian, snorting when she heard Isabella whining at the comment. "Okay, okay, grumpy girl. Mama was only teasing."

Slipping her fingers into her mouth, Isabella allowed her eyes to begin closing while Carina hummed a small lullaby in her ear while they waited for their car to be ready. She could hear the women discussing what to eat for she assumed breakfast since it was now morning time all over for them again. She wasn't sure if she wanted to stick it out to eat something yummy or sleep against Carina so the woman would be forced to carry her instead. Involuntarily accepting the latter, Isabella woke up from her short nap to being buckled into a car seat as she heard a man's voice speaking quietly to both her parents. Whining at the loss of contact, traveling for this long turned her into a full Momma's girl as she reached out for Carina's arm who had just successfully transferred her into the car seat.

Her face flushed hearing the man's voice once again, "Is this my sweet Bambina?! My nipotina has finally come to visit!" Isabella squirmed in her seat anxiously, mentally cursing the women out for buckling into it so she couldn't escape this interaction she wasn't ready for.

Carina cringed at the cold welcoming her father just got but he was already so in love with the smaller brunette, he couldn't care less. Maya, on the other hand, was more worried about how overwhelmed the girl was getting from the attention. She knew the girl was still sleepy and probably now getting more hungry by the minute.

"Papà, she might be more accepting of your presence when she eats. She isn't good with new people, even if she knows who you are. I'm sorry, Papà, we will see you very soon though. Thank you for making the trip to bring her car seat!" Carina spoke to her father quietly, allowing Maya to calm the brunette down as her leg bounced wildly in her seat.

Carina hugged her Father goodbye before getting into the driver's seat, smiling at her Bambina from the rear view mirror. She playfully pouted back at the girl once she was met with whines about wanting to be held and nursing. Reassuring the smaller brunette they only had a twenty minute drive ahead of them, she began the trip so she could take a mental break from all this traveling.

"We will get into the house, Bambina, and then you and I can cuddle while you nurse. Si, you will be able to nurse as soon as possible." Carina chuckled, listening to the girl seek for the reassurance of her favorite comfort. Her Father had insisted on dropping off breakfast things for all the women, trying to ease his way in to see his granddaughter even though his daughter gently scolded him before thanking him.

Upon arriving at the cute cozy rental, Maya insisted she could handle collecting all their bags while Carina tended to Isabella's wants and needs. Ushering the girl into the guest room where there was thankfully a rocking chair, she sat down and the girl instantly latched onto her Momma's chest. Barely giving the brunette any time to undo her nursing bra, Carina chuckled as she began rocking them while humming to the girl in hopes of getting Isabella to fall back asleep. Another hour or two of a nap wouldn't hurt in the slightest and maybe she wouldn't be as clingy.

After nursing took about half an hour to complete, Carina successfully transferred the girl onto the bed before slipping out of the room just in time to see her Father had dropped off the promised breakfast. Enjoying the peace and quiet with her wife at the table, both ate in silence as they held hands while their baby slept soundly. Maya teasing the Italian for her cringe after how Isabella responded to her Nonno and Carina praising the blonde for taking great care of their girl's needs.
