Vivian Joy Darwin || A Jasper Hale DDLG Story

Chapter 36

"Shh, little one, it's all going to be okay."

"Daddy," I said, gripping onto the sleeve of his shirt tightly.

"I'm right here babygirl. Daddy's right here," he said, shushing and cooing to me in attempt to calm my emotions without using his powers.

"Daddy, no like Bells and Eddie," I said, slipping into a younger headspace than I was used to.

"Shh, little one, Daddy doesn't like them either," Daddy said. He loosened his grip on me, turning me so I could bury my face in his chest.

"Daddy, stay with Vivvy," I said softly, speaking directly into his chest.

Daddy picked me up, setting me on his hip before he continued to talk.

"Daddy is going to stay with Vivvy forever and ever," he said. "Princess, do you know how old you are?"

"Two," I said softly, holding up two fingers. I slipped the thumb of my free hand into my mouth for comfort.

"You are such a big girl," he said. "Should we go home and get you a dummy and stuffie?"

"No go," I said, not wanting to return to anywhere that Bella and Edward were.

"We've gotta go home silly. We can spend all our time in our room together though," Daddy said. He began walking in the direction of the house, moving slowly so I didn't freak out.

"Daddy," I said softly.

"What's wrong little one?" He asked.

"Why's Bell and Eddie hate me?" I asked, on the brink of sobs again.

"Oh no Darlin', they don't hate you," he said. "I think they're just jealous of how confident you are. You get to be 100% Vivvy all the time."

"Dats cause I am Vivvy," I said, shrinking into his shoulder some as the house came into view.

"I know, but sometimes grown-ups act differently than they actually are because they want to fit in," he said, kissing my cheek. As we approached the house, Carlisle made his way out the door to talk to us.

"Hi Vivvy," he said softly.

"Hi," I said, laying my head on Daddy's shoulder.

"Jasper can I talk to you a moment?" He asked.

"She slipped," he said. "She's only two."

"I wouldn't take her in there right now," Carlisle said.

"Then have Rose go in my room and get me a dummy and a stuffie, please. I'll keep her out here for the time being," Daddy said. They were talking like I wasn't there, but I still heard everything. Carlisle headed inside, leaving Daddy and I alone.

"Daddy, what happens?" I asked softly.

"Rosie and Emmy got into a fight with Bella and Eddie. That's all," he said.

"Bout me?" I asked.

"Rosie and Emmie love you so much. They were just defending you and me little one," Daddy said.

"Daddy, leaves?" I asked.

"Baby I told you, Daddy isn't ever leaving you. Not ever," he said softly.

"No, Daddy leaves with Vivvy?" I asked.

"Do you wanna leave Rosie and Emmie and Carlisle and Esme behind?" He asked.

"No wants Bells and Eddie," I said.

"I know princess, and I don't want you around them. The others love you tho princess. But, more importantly, who loves you the most?" He asked, smiling at me and causing me to giggle slightly.

"Daddy," I said, giggling slightly. The door opened to reveal Rosie and Emmie. Rosie walked right over and handed me the stuffie before popping the dummy into my lips. I smiled in appreciation as Daddy talked to Emmie and Rosie about their fight.

"How long do you think we have until the child is born?" Daddy asked.

"A few weeks, max," Emmie said.

"Daddy," I said softly.

"What's wrong Princess?" He asked, dropping the conversation instantly to tend to me.

"Where's Ali?" I asked.

"She went to see Seth," Rosie said. I nodded some before Daddy went back to his conversation.

I was just happy to have a stuffie and a dummy and a Daddy who loves me.
