GiGi wanted to chuckle at Vanessa in this moment. But knew this would shatter the fragile girl.
Without turning around, "Good morning, Love. You must be hungry, didn't eat much last night."
The girl has stopped in the doorway. Her longish dark brown hair is hiding her face and she's obviously dealing with a great deal. Her shoulders are curved forward as if she is retreating into herself. The dress she picked just a knit pink slip on. Something easy, nondescript.
GiGi can't take it anymore, goes to her and stands in front of the child and picks up her chin with a finger. "Baby, stop shaming yourself. I have one question for you? Did you hurt anyone with what happened?", GiGi soothingly asked. The question hangs in the air. The only sound a kettle just beginning to boil.
Vanessa looks up at GiGi trying to see her from behind her hair and shakes her head, "Li-Li told you?!" Vanessa squeaks her breath hitches and her chest tightens a bit. She is utterly mortified at this moment.
"Can you come sit with me, Sweetheart?", as GiGi takes the girls hands and pulls her toward the kitchen table.
Vanessa is starting to calm from her initial panic. She has squirted quite badly into her panties, a real accident brought on by all of the stress, and was worried about sitting. GiGi noticed, took Vanessa's hand and pulled her closer. She stroked her cheek and told her, "Okay, Baby. I'm just going to talk. Most of this you've already heard before. So, here goes.", GiGi has maneuvered Ah-Ah onto her lap and feels the small accident. "We'll talk about these consistently damp panties also, Little One." Vanessa blushes and starts to try to get up. GiGi takes this as a sign and picks her up placing her on her hip and exits to the bathroom off of the kitchen.
"Let's go potty, Baby Girl and then we'll have our morning tea, you'll finally eat something more than misery and shame and talk all about it.", GiGi says as she has taken off Vanessa's panties and sat her on the toilet, just like she has done off and on over the years. But not since Vanessa was 10. She'd been taking care of her own accidents since at least then.
"Wait. Wait.", Vanessa thought. But she really liked this. GiGi doing this was making this "talk" a little easier.
"Don't move, Ah-Ah." GiGi says as she leaves the bathroom.
Ah-Ah sits there thinking, "How much did Li-Li tell?"
As she sits there lost in her thoughts, GiGi has come back in wearing a different dress. Ah-Ah ducks her head shamefully, "I got pee on GiGi.", is all she can think. GiGi also has a change of clothes for Ah-Ah. A cute purple t-shirt with a rainbow on it and some denim short-alls.
Then GiGi reached into the vanity cabinet beneath the sink and pulled out the wipes and a pull-up, cleaned Vanessa up and slid the pull-up on to cover Vanessa bottom.
"Arms up, Baby.", GiGi says.
Ah-Ah hesitates, "This does feel so good and so right", she thinks, and does as she's told. When GiGi gets the dress off. Ah-Ah covers her chest. Although she hasn't really developed breasts. She was still horribly flat chested, with no sign of breast development. GiGi strokes her cheek as she snaps the last clasp on the overalls. "Adorable", GiGi purrs.
"Now you're set, Love. Let's wash our hands and get something into your empty tum.", GiGi gushes over Vanessa. It has been a long time since GiGi babied Vanessa and she's always loved to spoil the child rotten, even before Pam was snatched from them.
Vanessa felt fuzzy and confused again. But she was too tired and scared to fight anything at this point.
GiGi poured hot water into the tea pot and pulled Vanessa onto her lap once again.
"What happened with you and Liam was inevitable with how close you are. That's why we have always been frank with you both about sex. I was hoping this wouldn't be happening for at least another three, four years from now, but-"
"I'm so sorry GiGi- -", Vanessa cuts in shaking slightly and the tears she thought had dried up when GiGi was helping her forced their way out as Vanessa choked.
"Oh, my sweet, Baby.", GiGi rocks Vanessa rubbing her back. "I know, Love.", GiGi encourages, "You're a scared little one that's all.", GiGi rocks the girl, soothing her jerking sobs.
Once Vanessa calmed a bit, GiGi begins, "Liam has always loved you. And you have always loved Liam. There are no questions there. Love is what made what happened happened.", GiGi explains, "And lots of hormones.", GiGi continues.
"You know that right, Ah-Ah?", Ah-Ah nods, yes and squirms.
"Now why have you been carrying on like this then?", GiGi chuckles. This just makes Ah-Ah bury her head into GiGi's neck, feeling a bit more relaxed. They stay this way a bit. GiGi thinks Ah-Ah is finally starting to at least relax enough to get something into her. She's too tiny to miss a meal.
GiGi places Vanessa onto a seat at the table and proceeds to gather breakfast for them both. She already knows Ah-Ah isn't going to eat much so she cuts up some fresh watermelon and begins warming Pain du Chocolate for her. While she scrambles herself a few eggs hoping to get a little into the girl.
"There is more to this.", GiGi thinks.
Vanessa is still visibly shaken. The tension GiGi eased form her has ramped back up since leaving the table.
"GiGi?", Vanessa quietly calls from the table breaking through the unspoken. She's resting her head on the table and squirming a bit.
"Yes, Love?", GiGi answers as she pours tea into the two mugs in front of them.
Vanessa is hesitant. She knows that she needs to talk to GiGi, but her embarrassment is stopping her.
"Is this about the fact that you're in a wet pull-up right now, Love?", GiGi just easily drops in the middle of the table and then takes a sip of her tea.
Vanessa is mortified. Her face has paled even more. She buries her head face down on the table and covers it with her arms. She doesn't move.
She is a thirteen year old sitting in a wet pull-up.
GiGi collects their breakfast and sets it in front of them. Before continuing she takes a bite of the eggs and hums.
"Love. It's okay." is all GiGi says as she rubs her back. "I know you like wearing protection more than you want to admit."
A small muffled whimper emerged from the girl. Then inaudible soft murmurs.
GiGi can only chuckle.
"You're going to have to uncover if you really want to be heard, Love.", GiGi chides the child.
With a ragged sigh, "But it's so wrong.", Vanessa finally says. Her tears are streaming down her face.
"Again. This time look at me and you better not look away, little one.", GiGi says firmly.
Vanessa brings her eyes to GiGi's. "Are you hurting anyone with wearing something you obviously need from time to time?"
"I don't know...", ending in a very weak, "yes", Vanessa exhales with such defeat and shame making GiGi reach out and pull her chin higher making Vanessa look at GIGI at an uncomfortable angle.
"Again, Little Girl, why are you so ashamed?", GiGi genuinely questioned, the confusion thick in her voice.
Vanessa looks at GiGi uncertain to tell this one secret she's never told anyone. Not even Liam. Her Daddy knew. She feels in her bones that this is the undeniable truth. This is why he always stays away from her. And no-one ever talks about her.
"It's my fault my Momma is dead."
