Aria POV
as Lala is helping me put my nighttime comfy clothes on, we hear the door bell chime. i dive into my bed and cover up while she sighs and heads for the door.
"hey brother"
i can barely hear them but i do catch bits and pieces
"i just can't... she's only a baby... needs to grow up.... have my own to care for... then i'll do it, happily."
why's he so happy? i'm so intrigued and nosy, so i creep out of my bed in my little footies and peek around the door. i see marco and lala talking, seriously might i add. and i wanna know, but i feel very very little right now, so i just crawl. i crawl all the way to them before being seen, i'm like a ninja!! they both look down at me and smile a little. i plomp down on my butt and giggle
"i'll take care of her, you take care of you, alright" Lala nods at him and bends down to me.
"Ari honey, Marco is gonna watch you for a little bit okay? i'll still be here i just have some things to do. everything is fine" and with that, i'm fine as well. i just need reassurance
after she is gone i follow her brother to the couch where he sits and looks at me. i stay in the floor
"would you like to sit on the couch with me?" i nod my head no
"do you want me to grab some toys so you can play in here?" now i nod my head yes and smile big. i like to play. when he starts to walk away i whine a little and put my hands up, wanting to be carried. he gets the hint and picks me up like nothing. walking to my room, that i point out to him, he sets me on my bed and begins looking. for what? i don't know
so i crawl down off the bed and accidentally dump open a box full of my baby toys. this scares him
"Ari! baby let me help you-" he puts me back on the stupid bed.
"tell me what toys you want, hm?" i point to a rainbow piano, some littlest pet shop toys with a house, and a soft little book with kitty pictures in it. i'm happy with my choices. he cleans up the mess and picks me up. but when i realize i don't see rosie anywhere, i kinda panick
Marco POV
right when i pick up Aria, she screams and yells and cries. it halfway gives me a heart attack and i set everything down, including her. trying to calm her down is the hardest thing in the world right now. she's flailing all around and attempting to push me away. eventually i pin her arms down beside her and raise my voice
"Aria. calm yourself right now or i swear on your life-" when those words come out of my mouth she instantly stops and looks at me with fear in her eyes. Layla had already come running and is standing at the doorway, just as confused as i am for once.
"what's wrong sweet girl? can Lala hold you? tell me what happened" she takes to her like a baby to a mama and i just kneel there like an idiot. Layla gives me a confused glance and walks out of the room with Ari in her arms.
