Young Love

18

Justin is running late, as per usual. He was supposed to be at the preschool picking his daughter up five minutes ago but he left it too late to leave and now he's stuck in traffic.
The thing that makes this whole situation even worse is that he got a call  to say that she is crying for him and wants to be collected.
"Hurry up!" Justin's hands collide with the steering wheel as he begins to get impatient. His daughter needs him and he's not there for her.
When the traffic finally diminishes and a clear route is eventually cleared, the young father speeds down the streets towards Beechtree.
Little Bella Bieber is crying her eyes out on one of the tiny benches in the lobby, and as soon as she sees her daddy she runs to him in a frenzy.
"Bubby what's wrong?" He frowns, kneeling down with open arms for his toddler to fall into.
She sobs against his chest, tears rolling down her chubby cheeks and choking sounds escaping her mouth when she swallows the salty liquid.
Justin decides that this isn't the place to calm his daughter down, so he signs her out and drives her home.
As soon as they arrive, Bella is still crying but less so. Her little whimpers make Justin's heart melt.
"Want to tell me what's wrong now?" He asks softly, scooping her into his strong arms for a cuddle.
"We-e made cards at school." She hiccups, looking up at her father with gooey brown eyes.
"That's nice-" Justin starts but he is cut off by another round of tears from his little girl.
"For Mother's Day!" (A/n idk when Mother's Day is just go with it😂)
Bella sucks in another breath and continues to sob.
"Oh sweetheart." Justin's face falls and he pulls Bella's head to his chest, rubbing her back in comfort.
"Why don't I have a mommy? I want a mommy!" She looks up at him again with a red face and then collapses back onto his chest for him to soothe her again.
"Shh, you do have a mommy." Justin replies sadly.
"Where, where is she then?"
"She left so that I could be a mommy and a daddy to you." He answers, not sure she would take it too well if he told her she passed away.
She sobs and sobs until she's cried all her tears and calmed down a little.
"Don't worry baby, if you need anything you can always come to me, okay?" He reassures the four-year-old, patting her back and letting her get comfortable on his chest.
She nods, quite exhausted now, and her eyelids droop, signalling that she's falling asleep.

Liam meanwhile, has just been picked up from nursery by Ariana.
She notices that he seems a little down and not as lively as he usually is.
"What's wrong buddy?" She asks him, causing him to gaze up at her with a worried expression.
"Bella was crying at nursery. Is she ok?" He asks his mommy for confirmation. Her mommy has superpowers, she knows everything.
Ariana furrows her eyebrows a bit at the thought of sweet little Bella crying, but smiles enthusiastically at her son.
"Yeah honey, I'm sure Bella's fine." She pats his head as he strolls alongside her on the way back through the city.
"Hold my hand, yeah?" Ari grabs onto Liam's hand before they cross the big main road.
"Mommy I'm five now. I'm a big boy." Liam seems genuinely offended that his mommy needs him to hold her hand and she giggles a bit.
"I know bug, but mommy just wants you to stay safe." Ariana quickly takes her son across the street so he can let go of her manicured hand.
"Fredo said he wants to come over later." She reminds the little boy whose eyes widen and whose features light up.
"Bob the builder, Bob the builder all night!" He squeals, running ahead as Ariana laughs her head off for the sake of poor Alfredo.
