Demi's pov
When I hear an ear piercing scream the next morning, I immediately wake up. I get out of bed and quickly make my way to Ariana's room. I turn her bedroom light on as I walk into the room and I kneel down next to her. I see her eyes are closed and her cheeks have tears rolling down them. I gently shake her awake and she screams, but opens her eyes.
"Hey, it's ok. It's just me. Can I hold you?" I ask gently.
She sits up and her cries turn to little hiccups. I wait for my answer and when I see her holding her arms out and open and closing her hands I know it's a yes. I pick her up and get into my lap. I grab her blanket and wrap it around her and get her coco and her pillow case as well. I then just wrap my arms around her and hold her close to me.
"You're ok sweetheart. I'm not going to let anyone hurt you and your daddy won't either. Your dad will beat up anyone who tries to hurt you. He loves you very much, just like I do." I say.
Her arms wrap around my neck and I place a gentle kiss on the top of her head, "Can you tell me what scared you?" I ask and she shakes her head.
"That's ok. I know it's hard to talk about things sometimes. But if you ever need to tell me something, I understand. I was hurt like you were when I was a child. But look at me, I'm ok now and I'm really strong now. You're already a strong girl, but you're going to be even stronger when your older." I say.
I wipe away her tears and place kisses on her cheek occasionally until she calms down. I glance over at the time and see it's only 4:30 in the morning. So it's rather early, but I don't think she'll be able to get back to sleep tonight.
I look down at the calm child in my lap, "Do you want some breakfast?" I ask.
She holds her finger out and that's when I remember I have to check her sugar and get her a shot. I frown at her, "Alright let's go take care of this first. Then breakfast." I say.
She nods and I place a kiss on her cheek, "Can we go downstairs without your blanket and pillowcase and ribbon? How about we leave those 3 things in your bed and bring coco only. Can we do that?" I ask.
She looks at me absolutely traumatized and I nod, "It's ok if you can't. How about we try coco, the ribbon, and your blanket? Will that work?" I ask.
Her eyes look at all the items around her before looking back up at me hesitant, "Pillow case will be waiting for you when you go to sleep." I try.
I'm not necessarily wanting her to give up the items she has, but I do want to see her not she reliant on them and need all of them to be ok. I want to see her only need a blanket or the stuffed animal. I want her to be able to just need one comfort item or just need me. Because 4 is sort of a lot, but I do know she's been through a lot.
She puts her pillow case behind her and the ribbon, but keeps the dog and the blanket. I smile wide extremely happy with her decision, "I'm so proud of you, do you know that? I know that this is really hard to do and you're trusting me to do this." I say.
She holds her arms up and looks at me with questioning eyes, "Yes I can hold you." I say.
I gently pick her up and carry her downstairs with her blanket and stuffed animal. I put her on the couch and suddenly realize I need her backpack for her meter.
"I'll be right back ok. I'm going to get your meter." I say and she nods.
I get up from the couch and walk to Wilmer and I'd room. I see he's still asleep and I sigh. I don't want to wake him up but at the same time I really need to know where he put her backpack.
"Wilmer." I say.
He wakes up immediately and rubs his eyes, "Where did you put her backpack?" I ask.
"Uh." He responds unsure.
"I believe I just put it in the chair in the closet." He says hoarsely.
I walk over to the bed and place a kiss on his lips and he smiles up at me, "Just so you know, if I wasn't in a rush to get back to Ariana and we didn't have a 4 year old with an innocent mind and ears, I'd fuck you right now." I say as I walk to the closet.
"I think I liked it better when I didn't know that information because you know I love sex with you." He says.
I grab the backpack, "Isn't that too bad." I smirk on my way out of the room.
I walk back to the couch and Ariana is already laying down. The second I sit down she holds out her pointer finger as I get the meter ready.
I gently put my hand under hers and I give her a kiss on her pointer finger, "That's because I don't like knowing it hurts you." I say and she giggles.
Hearing a giggle escape her mouth warms my heart. I know she probably hasn't laughed in a really long time and I know I'm order to giggle then she really has to trust me.
I do the quick poke and then tickle her sides as more of a distraction from the pain I know her little finger is in.
I see the number come back as 73 and I know that that is good, "73 sweet girl. Do I need to do the shot now?" I ask and she nods.
I get up and get the needle and insulin and of do it as quick as I can and she handles it like the little champ she is. 15 minutes after it, I start breakfast and she happily eats.
"Puppy?" She asks extremely quietly.
I nod, "You can play with the puppy's today too. How about you finish eating and I go and get them after?" I ask.
She nods excitedly, "They'll need their breakfast too so do you want to feed them?" I ask.
Her eyes light up and I smile, "I'll let you feed them too." I say.
And go to the store and get you more clothes, some toys, food, and whatever else you want, I think to my self.
