Page 38 of Mommy Calls Me Princess

Chapter Twelve

Vivienne

Okay, that wasn’t so bad. It was easy to see the draw many had for the nursing kink as it was now one of ours. My sweet princess was asleep in no time and as soon as she dozed off, the suckling stopped. If it had been used for foreplay we would’ve sought that direction, but knowing it was meant to calm my girl’s busy mind down, the act took on a different meaning. And one that worked for me as well. As soon as she stilled in my arms, I followed her into a deep slumber.

“Sweetheart, it’s time to wake up. Breakfast will be here in a few minutes then it’s off to the airport.” Waking my sleeping angel I’d rather not have done but today was a big day. Not that the last week hadn’t been full of such days but today I’d reveal our new home and her playroom to her in front of our family.Jack was in on it, but the others would be just as surprised as she would be.

And I couldn’t wait.

“Mmm, five more minutes Mommy.” She tried to latch on, but I pulled away just in time.

“I’m sorry, my love. You can nurse later, but for now I’m afraid I must insist you get up. Mommy has to dress you so we can eat.” Thankfully, Jack and I had staged the luggage by the front door last night. As soon as I packed what we’d need this morning I’d call the bellhop to come and get it. They’d earn their tip for sure today given the dozens of bags and cases we had.

Begrudgingly, my groaning princess rolled out of bed. Her blonde locks a matted mess.Note to self, braid her hair before bed.“Go potty, then mommy will dress you.” Now was one of those times the binkies I’d rush ordered would’ve come in handy. Thankfully they’ll be at home by the time we get there.

Comfortable leggings and a cute white t-shirt that says Mommy’s little princess on it that I’d found in one of the giftshops were lightweight and ideal for traveling in. While it was hot in Vegas it never failed the inside of plane would be chilly so shorts wouldn’t cut it.

“Sneaky mommy, when did you get this cute shirt?”

“One of the many times you and your monkey were being silly. Do you like it?”

Darcy hugged me. “I love it, and I love you too, Mommy.”

I buckled on her favorite pink sandals. “Why don’t you go in the living room with Princess Bride while Mommy double checks we didn’t miss anything.”

“Kisses,” she puckered up and I willingly obliged. “’Kay, Mommy.”

How quickly she’d gone from grouchy to skipping through the room. Having a little was quite an experience and one I’m glad I hadn’t shied away from.

With our toiletries gathered and one last swoop of the room, I shut the door and joined the others for breakfast. All our bags were packed and ready to be loaded. As soon as breakfast was done, I called for the bell hop. I checked out via the television, selected to email the receipt to myself, and we left the keys by the TV and headed down to the valet.

“How will we get all this from the airport to our home, Mommy?” My Princess’s wide eyes eyeballed the piles we had to check in.

“Daddy Jack brought the big SUV. With the backseat down it will all fit and so will the five of us.”

“Whew, I got scared there for a minute there.” Adorable didn’t even cover it as she stood there with her Princess Bear under one arm, pretty pink princess backpack slung over her shoulders and her new T-shirt in full view. It was impossible not to proudly smile knowing she was all mine.

With that load handled and sent off, we dealt with security then finally made it to our gate. My princess snuggled up with me in the chairs while Jack was off chasing Vale down. I wrapped my arm around her and kissed the top of her head. “You ready to be home, sweetheart?”

“Yes and no. Yes because I get to live with my Mommy now and no because reality sometimes sucks.”

“Very true, but would it help if Mommy let you in on a secret?” her head popped up. “I have a surprise for you when we get home?”

She grinned and shook her head. “What did you do, Mommy?”

“Mmm, you’ll have to wait to find out.” Far too much to put into words and I didn’t want to and risk ruining the surprise. “We may have done it backwards getting married so fast, but it was the right move for us. Now we get to spend the rest of our lives learning new things about each other without the loomingwhen we will marryquestion hanging over our heads.” Shegiggled, but she knew I was right. The stability that came with the commitment to believe this was really true soothed us both.

“You’re right, Mommy.”

“Princess, didn’t you know Mommies are always right.” That drew more giggles as we watched Jack wrangle an over stimulated Vale.

“He’s gonna need to monitor Vale’s sugar intake for sure,” Darcy sighed.

“No longer my problem, but I’m sure as hell enjoying the show.” I bet Sarah was. She’d put her years in and, from what I understood, never complained. I bet she was eating this up. Jack led Vale over to a coffee vendor and proceeded to order the biggest cup they had. “That’ll help. It’s about time Jack got the hang of Vale’s hyperactivity. I know most people don’t like to give caffeine to their littles or pets, but when one is diagnosed with hyperactivity you have to change your way of thinking.”

“True dat, Momma Sarah,” Darcy and Sarah fist bumped. “Daddy Jack knew how to combat it. He just waited too long and let him polish off his candy on the way here.”

“Yup, no bueno. Now it’s his riled-up monkey to lasso.” Sarah went back to reading. It must be like early retirement to her, handing the reins over to Jack.
