Work Text:
Rise and shine, sleepyhead!” You hear as you groggily open your eyes, being shaken lightly. Familiar pink locks dangle before you as you turn to the side and put a cerulean silk-encased pillow over your head.
You gasp after being lifted out of the Alaskan king-sized bed. “Nuh uh, little lady. There's a surprise for you in the kitchen after you go potty.” She exclaims as she walks a few steps and sets you down on the marble tiles of the bathroom.
“What kind of surprise, Mama?” You pout and do your business. While you wash your hands she chuckles. “I can show you after you brush your teeth.”
You groan loudly, rinse your face, and scrape your tongue. You reach for the light pink toothbrush already adorned with watermelon-flavored paste, and rush through the daily process. “There, finished.”
“Good girl, baby.” Vi praises you as she checks ‘brushing teeth’ off the daily hygiene checklist for you. She takes your hand and leads you down a corridor with light purple walls and dark gray flooring. She picks you up as you go down the staircase.
She puts you back on the ground at the bottom and you both enter the kitchen. You see a figure with dark blue hair. She's standing 6 feet tall at the sink, washing dishes with rubber gloves.
“Mommy!” You yell and run over, wrapping your arms around her stomach. “I thought you were working today?”
She removes the gloves and shuts the water. “There was a change in schedule so I decided to stay with my best girls and make your favorites.” Star-shaped chocolate chip pancakes, cut-up fruit, and bacon sit at the cushioned breakfast nook.
You make grabby hands until she picks you up, and kiss her on the cheek multiple times. “Yayy, thank you mommy.”
Vi walks over and kisses her other cheek. “Yeah ‘mommy’, thanks.” “You both are very welcome.” Caitlyn chuckles. She walks over to the breakfast nook and sets you in the middle of three mahogany placemats. She places two cut-up pancakes with extra syrup and the other food in front of you on a pink plate with white hearts. She makes her and Vi’s plates with extra bacon for Vi. She sets down two glasses and one sippy cup, all containing grape juice.
They both sit down with you as Vi puts a bib around your neck. “Say ‘ahh’, princess.” She feeds you a couple of bites, then takes a bite of her own. You sip your juice and Caitlyn raises her fork to your face. You all continue until everything is done and Vi takes your plates and cups to wash with the rest of the dishes.
You and Caitlyn head to the living room and you throw yourself on the huge L-shaped pink velvet couch. She joins you after retrieving books from the dark pink floor-to-ceiling bookcase that takes up a full wall. She hands you your favorite, a children's book about a dinosaur learning how to fly.
You both read in silence with your head resting on her shoulder until Vi steps in. She picks a book for herself and plops down next to you. “What are you reading today, Mama?” you question.
“One of her usual sappy romance novels, I'm assuming.” Caitlyn accuses
“Hey! These are way more interesting than stuffy history.” Vi gasps. “Well, I'll have you know, this one about Noxian trade history is fascinating. Did you know they built intricate underground routes to combat assassination attempts and thievery?” Caitlyn huffs. “Yeah, real fun stuff cupcake I'm sure,” Vi says after rolling her eyes. She reaches for the fluffy throw blanket and places it over the three of you.
After a while and some more books, your eyes start to close on their own as you read. When your head falls forward a few times, Caitlyn gently takes the book from your hands. “Go ahead and nap, my love. I know you stayed up late with Mama yesterday waiting for me to come back.”
You don't need to be told twice and you lay your head on her lap with your legs on Vi’s. Vi pats your leg and Caitlyn strokes your hair as you go to dreamland.
When you awaken a couple of hours later and rub your eyes, Vi glances at you from a small table across the room. “Aww, look who came back to us. I'm just kicking mommy’s ass at dominos if you want to join.” “As if, you've just lost three times in a row.” Caitlyn proclaims.
“Can we play speed?” You ask. “Of course, petal,” Vi exclaims. She and Caitlyn set it up and you smile at the anticipation. You are slightly quicker than them, but you all bump hands constantly. You get a joker and slap it down as your final card. “SPEED MOMMIES, HAHA!” you whoop. “Now now, don't get too cocky, my darling.” Caitlyn chimes in.
You all play again and you win again, sticking your tongue out at her. “That's my baby.” Vi chuckles and ruffles your hair. Caitlyn shakes her head affectionately. “Again, again!” you say and repeat multiple times as you play 8 other rounds, winning the majority of them.
Afterward, you and Vi convince Caitlyn to play poker using candy as currency. You don't understand it too well but have fun seeing how they act. Vi bets all of her candy at the end and you copy her just to be funny. “You're bluffing!” Caitlyn shouts. “Try me, angel face.” Vi grins. Caitlyn grumbles and also bets all of her candy. Caitlyn reveals a four-of-a-kind and you have a flush of diamonds. Vi smirks and puts down her cards which are a straight flush of hearts.
Caitlyn slams her hand on the table, making it rattle. “I demand a rematch you cheeky minx!” You play 2 more times, Caitlyn winning the first round and Vi the next. “That's 2 to 1, my dear cupcait.” Vi boasts. “Ugh, whatever, it is about bath time for our little one anyways.” Caitlyn remarks.
Vi carries you to the bathroom with Caitlyn beside her. She starts the water, making sure it's very warm, and drops in flower petals from a nearby jar. “Today is hair washing day, yay!”
You pout and cross your arms. “That isn't a good thing, Mama.”
Caitlyn rubs your back and places you into the water. “I will be very gentle, I promise.” She fills a pitcher of water and wets your head. She rubs in shampoo, giving you a thorough massage, and rinses it again. “It's okay, my love.” She says as she starts to brush through your ends, and you whine. Vi rubs some of your favorite soap onto a washcloth and starts to clean your legs. “Just relax for us, beautiful girl.” She cleans the rest of you as Caitlyn works on big knots, then rinses your hair once more. “See honey, that wasn't so bad, was it?” Vi says as she takes the pitcher from Caitlyn and rinses your body off. “Hmph!” you exclaim and let her wrap you in a fluffy yellow towel.
Caitlyn goes to start dinner as Vi rubs lotion onto your skin and oil into your hair. She rubs talcum powder under your arms and dresses you in a purple nightgown with ruffles at the bottom. You hug and thank her. “Don’t mention it, babycakes. You know I love to pamper and spoil my precious small one.” She teases as she rubs your jaw. “Now, let's go help mommy with the food.”
The kitchen smells like heavenly garlic and onion and you see the rice pot on the stove. “I'm making stir fry tonight,” Caitlyn says and then wacks Vi’s hand with the spoon as she tries to take a piece of meat. She drags over a wooden stool and helps you onto it. “You can mix it until the veggies are fully cooked.”
It takes about 10 minutes of stirring with Caitlyn supervising to let the sauce cook down. “Great job, my little chef.” She praises. When the rice is done, Cait fills three white bowls and you have your meal in the dining room at her insistence. The walls are dark red and there are crisp gold and red tablecloths with black placemats and chairs. As per usual, nobody sits at either head and you are in the middle again. You feed yourself this time with your silicone-covered fork, chewing slowly and only spilling a few grains of rice. Caitlyn and Vi sip on wine while you have soda water.
After dinner, you all go into the bathroom to brush your teeth together. Caitlyn checks off taking a bath and brushing teeth again on the list. “You finished all your hygiene, my clean baby girl. What color sticker do you want on there?” “Pink!” you cheer. “Hmm, how did I know?” She chuckles and places the sparkly sticker on the chart. “Pink for me, duh,” Vi says and you all giggle.
Caitlyn and Vi change into their pajamas, a light blue silk night nightgown with soft lace, and a black tank top with orange boxers, respectively. You take your spot, in the middle of course, and Vi immediately latches on to you like a koala. “Can I have a bedtime story, Mommy?” you ask. “Of course, my heart.” She says as she tucks you in.
“There once was a princess so beautiful and kind that every unwed adult in the kingdom wanted to marry her. She was very overwhelmed by the amount of kings and princes trying to court her. Something always felt wrong about them. Some were too arrogant, some were too shy, some were downright mean, and some were just plain ugly.” You chuckle as she continues. “After months of courting, the girl was devastated. How could she marry and spend the rest of her life with a man she did not like? She felt hopeless and thought she had seen just about everyone in the kingdom. One day, a pair of queens visited the kingdom. They had come for festivities and had heard about the courting. They wished to see this princess. At the next courting event, they were there. They were immediately enamored with her beauty, but even more so with her warm energy. At the archery competition, one of the queens hit every bullseye, and the other placed first in the boxing tournament. The whole kingdom was mystified. Who were these women? The queens went up to the princess and gifted her beautiful jewelry. The princess had seen both of them compete and was in awe. For the first time, she immediately felt a connection. “We would love your hand in marriage, if you would have us.” one of the queens stated. “But how would that work? This kingdom has never had two queens, let alone three.” the princess questioned. “We have our own kingdom.” The other queen said. “We can protect you and give you a peaceful life.” The princess thought about it. She had never been happy in her own kingdom and decided she wanted to see what else life had to offer. She called a male servant over. “Ready a carriage immediately.” she said.”
“Wow that was a nice story Mommy, it sounds a little familiar.” you chuckle. “I wonder why that is, my dear.” she grins. You hug and kiss her on the cheek. “I love you so much, Mommy. Thank you for taking care of me.” She hugs you tightly with a hand on the back of your head. “You’re very welcome, my little princess. You know I love to care for you, and I love you more than you can imagine.”
You turn to see Vi already sleeping, softly snoring. You lean down and kiss her cheek, whispering “I love you too, Mama.”
You lay back down and Caitlyn rubs your hair softly. You close your eyes and fall asleep in total bliss feeling loved and content with the women you care about more than anything.
