Savannah POV

I woke up the next morning laying on top of mom. I felt a lot better than I did last night. I used to get randomly sick for short periods of time as a kid, but I never had someone else there to take care of me. I remember one time my whole body felt hot, but I was freezing and I forced myself into a little creek to get my body to cool down. It eventually did and the next morning I was fine.

It just hadn't happened in so long and never when I was little. I felt mom start to stir and I pushed my face in between her boobs to continue cuddling. For some reason remembering the creek reminded me of my past which reminds me of Harry.

I never told moms about everything Harry did or said and I can't help but want comfort from them whenever I remember it.

"Good morning baby," mom said while rubbing my back. Ma rolled over and pressed her lips to my temple.

"Your fever stayed down over night so that's good baby," Ma said and I turned my head to smile at her.

Mom continued to rub my back, "Are you feeling okay sweetie?" Mom asked and I nodded my head.

"That didn't seem too convincing," ma said quietly.

I sort of shrugged and that caused mom to sit up with me still in her lap. I was straddling her legs and she moved me to where I was sitting sideways. "Alright, what's wrong Sav?" Ma asked once I was positioned.

"I was just thinking about something Harry said." I mumbled out just loud enough for them to hear. I felt mom tense and I tried to lean more into her to signal I was okay.

"He can't hurt you anymore pumpkin," Mom told me and I nodded.

"I know, but he told me something I don't think any of us knew." I said trying to brace myself.

Ma nodded at me to continue so I did. "When he had me trapped in the basement he was trying to insist that I was my birth mother Helena. I refused to and kept saying she was dead. He uh, he fought me on that and said that I wasn't dead that he didn't kill me, but he thought I was Helena."

Mom squeezed me, "I'm okay. He said that he went to our house right after I was born. Apparently I was out with my dad when he showed up. He tried to convince Helena to take me and go home but she refused. He said he didn't mean to hurt me, or I guess her, but that he basically freaked out when she stopped moving and he took off. I guess dad found her and fled or something, I don't know. Maybe he was afraid the family would pin it on him." I told her while tucking my head under her chin.

Mom rocked back and forth with me in her arms and I could tell from Ma's face that she was trying to not react from what I just told them. Ma snapped out of it and rubbed my arm, "Thank you for telling us baby. I know you mentioned some of the stuff that happened, but thank you for elaborating. How are you feeling?" She asked me.

"I'm okay, I feel better now that I've told you two. Though, mom, could you help me slip?" I asked looking up at mom and saw she was smiling and gave me a little nod.

I sat away from mom so she could pull her shirt off and then I laid back against her. I latched on and mommy ran her fingers through my hair as I nursed. It didn't take me long to feel myself sliding back into little space.

I nursed for a few more minutes before resting my head on her chest and enjoying being close to her. I looked up and saw momma smiling at the both of us. "Momma," I called out to her while making grabby hands. She got the message and lifted me into her lap. She relaxed against the headboard and I cuddled into her.

I don't know how long we were laying there until I heard the bedroom door open. I turned my head and saw Hopey, Dani, and Paisley walking into the room. Dani sat at the end of the bed with Paisley in her arms and Hopey came over near me.

As soon as she was near me I put my arms out to her and she picked me up. "Hi pumpkin, how did you sleep?" Hopey asked as we swayed back and forth.

"Mmm good, I no has fever no more." I said proudly and she smiled at me.

"Well that's a very good thing. Paisley was hoping to play with you today so we don't want you sick." Hopey said before giving me a big kiss on the forehead.

"No sick! Pwomise!" I told her happily and she chuckled.

"Well that's good. Well listen, Dani and I wanted you guys to be the first to know that we are getting married!" Hopey shouted happily and I started giggling.

"It work mommy! It work momma!" I shouted to my mommies who were looking at Dani's ring. They both looked up at me and smiled before agreeing.

"And I know you're little right now, but would you be my maid of honor?" Aunt Hopey asked me and I smiled before yelling yes and throwing my arms around her shoulders.

We stayed in our embrace and Hopey whispered into my ear, "I love you so much sweet girl. I'm so glad you are in my life."

I moved away slightly so I could kiss her cheek, "I love you more Hopey. T'ank you fo' staying."

She hugged me a little tighter before setting me down to go play with Paisley who was climbing out of Dani's lap.

We rushed over to each other before I pulled her into my bedroom since I have toys in here. "We p'ay now Savvy?" Pais asked me and I nodded my head pulling out some blocks.

"We p'ay b'ocks?" I asked Pais who nodded her head with a smile.

We were pretty quiet with out playing when Paisley spoke up. "I called Hope an Dani mommy and momma yesterday," she said barely above a whisper.

I raised my eyebrows at her, "How dat go?"

She nodded her head with a smile, "I t'ink okay? Dey not say anyt'ing bout it so I dunno."

I gave her a reassuring smile, "Hopey and Dani twust you. If you say it den dey t'ink you ready and okay wit it. Dey probs not say anyt'ing bout it cuz dey no make you uncomfy." I told her as coherently as I possibly could. Nursing with mommy makes me slip pretty far sometimes.

"You okay wit it? I know you was close wit Hope and they both your aunties." Pais said in a careful way but I smiled happily to her.

"I very okay wit it! Dey my aunties. Dey need someone who love dem as mommies. I no do dat." I told Pais with a smile and she nodded seeming a little more confident. We played for a little while longer before our mommies came to get us and carry us down to breakfast.


A/N: A lovely reader of mine reminded me I never said anything about Helena's death in the story. Which I honestly can't remember if I did or not, so oops lol.
