A/N: hello hello people! Yes I have made another story! I figured i should write something a little more sweet and lighthearted before things officially get back dark in"HPM". If any of you are just now reading my work and you aren't familiar with my other story "Her Pretty Marionette" then i suggest reading atleast the first few chapters of it just so you can get a better idea of whats going on in here, but if your already one of my fellow fans then sit back and enjoy the fic.
Just to let everyone know this filler is supposed to take place a couple weeks after Annie finds Armin. So Annie is still seven years old, while Armin is still more or less mentally a baby/toddler at this point. Get it? Got it? Good! On with the fic!
Chapter 1A little parental bonding!
It was "Show And Tell Friday " and Annie was trying to think of what she could bring in that day. She was already dressed in her school clothes which consisted of a navy blue plaid knee length skirt, matching bow ,and a white polo shirt with a black sweater vest over was the standard uniform for all of the K-8 students.
boys wore the same except they wore pants or capri's in place of the skirt and work ties in place of the bows. All of the bigger kids from 9th grade onwards could wear whatever they like so long as they respected the dress code. She also wore a blue plaid ribbon in her bun. "Hmm no..this won't work either!" She pouted tossing her Sailor Moon manga to the floor.
Angela then came into the room to check on her daughter. "Are you almost ready for school dear?" She asked."No!" Annie replied in annoyance. "It's show and tell and I have nothing cool to bring in" Angela then shifted her gaze towards a certain doll in the room and smiled."what about Armin?" She suggested.
Oh that's right! Annie looked over to the plush corner and smiled. Armin was in a nice slumber amidst all of the toys and plushies that surrounded him. He cooed and snorted softly in his sleep as he clutched his giant stuffed white sheep close to him. He wore a white fancy long sleeved Lolita blouse, a frilly white diaper with pink bows on the side and a picture of a pink teddy bear on the front, and white Lolita stockings with frilly lace and pink bows at the top. His pink and black half filled baby bottle sat right next to him.
Angela's icy eyes silently glossed over and sparkled as she took in Armin's appearance. Annie looked up at her mother in bewilderment. "Mom?.." Annie asked."are you okay? "
"Oh yes dear it's just that...HE'S SO CUTE!" She squealed."oh my God" Annie said smacking her forehead. Angela's outburst woke the doll, causing him to slowly lift his head up and rub the sleep out of his eyes while grumbling in baby talk. "Annie?" Armin muttered looking around. He then shifted his sleepy gaze towards Annie and smiled in glee. Getting on all fours, he crawled over to her with his stuffed sheep and hugged her.
"My Annie!" Armin cooed sweetly snuggling his face in her neck. "He knows your name!?and he can crawl!?" Angela squealed again with hearts in her eyes. Armin froze and looked over to Angela. He usually wouldn't move when she was around,but he hadn't noticed her there when he had first woke up. "Uh huh!" Annie replied."Armin's a smart doll that's programmed to learn different things if you keep him on long enough " the little girl lied.
Armin relaxed when Angela seemed to buy that excuse. Apparently she didn't think that he was a real living Doll, just the kind that could say a few automated phrases and move around a bit if you pressed a button or something. "He is?" Angela asked. She then knelt down to where Armin sat with even more sparkles in her eyes. "Can you try saying Angela?"She asked pointing to herself." Come on! Angela"
Armin smiled cutely and nodded in a more robotic doll like manner."Angela!" He repeated back to her. A black shadow was casted over Angela's face, and her body was slightly trembling."M-mom?" Annie asked looking at Angela's weird behaviour."Annie..." Angela started. "I don't know how you managed to come across this doll but..HE IS ABSOLUTELY THE MOST ADORABLE PRECIOUS LITTLE THING I HAVE EVER SEEN!" She exclaimed scooping Armin up and picking him up in her arms.
Armin giggled at this. Positioning him at her hip, she held him toddler style."AND HE'S SO LIGHT EVEN THOUGH HE'S SO BIG! You must take him with you to show and tell! He's just so CUTE!" Angela said pinching Armin's was so pleased with all of the attention he was getting this morning! "Can you say Mommy?" Angela asked again looking at Armin.
Putting on the cutest face he could summon, he looked at the older woman with big glossy eyes while blushing. "Mommy!" He repeated back to her smiling. Annie watched in amusement at Angela hugging the life out of Armin."ohh! I always wanted an adorable son!" Armin smiled at this. He felt so loved! And..now that he thought about it kind of full?..as if he had to- uh oh.
Armin started to squirm a bit as Angela continued to hold him. Angela noticed this and raised an eyebrow At the marionette's actions. "Is he okay?" Angela asked in a concerned tone. Annie's eyes widened a bit when she realized what was wrong. Armin was doing his potty dance."p-potty.." Armin whimpered Getting Angela's attention."awww how cute! He knows the word potty too!" She cooed still not quite getting the message yet.
"Er Mom?" Annie asked snickering."look" she giggled pointing to Armin."hmm?" Angela looked down at Armin in confusion and noticed that he had an extremely dazed and relaxed peaceful look on his face. He silently purred like a small kitten in bliss as what sounded like a loud faucet running filled the room and his frilly diaper now had thick heavy steam coming through it even though it was absorbing everything he was doing.
"Oh!" Angela yelped in surprise at this. looks like she was right to dress Armin up as a loli baby after all. The poor doll didn't even realize what he was doing until Annie started laughing and pointing at him."huh? What's so funny? " he wondered to himself slowly snapping out of it. He then looked down and felt what was wrong. He whimpered wrapping his arms around Angela's neck and hiding his face there in shame.
"It's not funny !" Armin pouted while whimpering some more. Annie will never let him live this down. She will be holding this over his head till after she died of old age! Little crocodile tears ran down his face as he thought about it. "There there it's okay" Angela chuckled patting Armin on the back."let's get you tidied up while Annie gets ready for school "
Armin smiled a bit as Angela comforted him. Once he was carried to the bathroom, he was laid down on a fluffy white towel where Angela got to work. Unclasping the frilly diaper, she carefully peeled it off of Armin's bottom, rolled it up, bagged it and tossed it in the nearby trash bin. "I still can't get over how lifelike you are!" Angela said talking out loud to the doll."if I didn't know any better I'd say you really were alive" she exclaimed.
Armin flushed and smiled shyly at the compliment."if only you knew" he thought."you know, I always wanted another child after Annie, but..given unfortunate circumstances I couldn't have another one after her" Armin didn't understand. Weren't mommies supposed to have babies? He cocked his head and gave her a look as if to ask her" why?"
Angela giggled at Armin's change in facial expression as she cleaned his lower body with a warm soapy washrag. She was careful not to get the bottom of his shirt and stockings wet."I swear it's almost as if you can understand what I'm saying!" She exclaimed. Once she got his front and bottom nice and soapy, she rung the rag out and started rinsing him off."I'm sure if you could talk more then you would be asking me why right?" Armin smiled and raised his eyebrows as if to say "please tell me more!"
"Well...sometime after Annie was born her father and I tried to have a boy but some kind of illness caused me to become permanently infertile" she explained quietly. Armin still didn't quite understand. He didn't know what the word "infertile" meant but it sounded bad. "Which means I can never have children again " the woman added in a more quieter tone.
Armin felt bad for her now. He could see now that Angela's eyes were misting over as if she was about to cry. No that's not right! Grown ups and mommies aren't supposed to be cry! He then thought of an idea that might perk her back up. Angela stiffend up as she felt a pair of arms wrap around her. Armin was sitting up on the towel and giving her a hug."Mommy.." Armin smiled nuzzling his nose in her neck again.
Angela's heart strings tugged at this action."awwww well aren't you sweet" she said kissing his button nose. She immediately felt all better now. "I don't know who would leave a cute baby like you in the woods or why, but I'm glad my daughter decided to keep you" She said hugging the inwardly giggled at this, He was glad to see back to her old self!
"Well, enough of my rambling,let's get you back decent shall we?" She suggested drying him off. "you must be freezing having your fanny sticking out on the floor like that" Armin nodded in agreement. It was starting to feel a bit awkward and chilly being bottomless like this. Getting a fresh frilly diaper with a picture of a sheep on it this time, Angela powdered Armin's bum up and strapped it on him.
"There we go! Good as new!" Angela exclaimed making Armin grin. It felt nice to be clean again! "now let's see what I can dress you up as today" she said carrying Armin to her bedroom.
+++ten minutes later+++
"Ohhh I knew it would look good on you!" Angela cooed. Armin sat on her bed wearing a school uniform that was strikingly similar to Annie's but with minor differences. Instead of the pleated skirt, he wore Navy blue plaid mini shorts and in place of the bow tie, he wore a loose matching work tie. His thin white button up shirt was tucked out instead of tucked in to make him look more cooler.
Instead of a black sweater vest, he wore a neat black uniform jacket with the wings of freedom insignia on the front pocket over his shirt. He wore black thigh high uniform stockings and a navy blue plaid neck ribbon and matching hat with a black ribbon on the side of it to top it all off. The perfect shota schoolboy. Armin was so happy with his makeover!
"I look just like Annie!" Armin thought to himself. He enjoyed it whenever dressed him up."now your ready for show and tell!" She said picking him up and bringing him back to Annie who was already ready to leave."COOL!" Annie exclaimed looking at her doll in awe."he looks like one of the Junior High kids at my school but cooler!" She said.
Armin blushed at being called cool."hee hee thank you, I thought it would look cute if wore the same uniform as you " Angela explained. Annie nodded in agreement. "Well, I better be off to work now! Have a nice day at school Annie" she said grabbing her keys and walking out of the door."okay Mother!" Annie smiled.
Armin smiled and looked over his uniform again."your really lucky to have such a nice Mommy Annie" The doll said."she's so sweet!"
"Yeah.. She is" Annie agreed. After a moment of silence she finally realized something."wait a minute!..how in the world am I going to fit you in my backpack? You're so big!" She exclaimed.
"Oh..." Armin frowned sadly holding his stuffed sheep. Annie was right, he wasn't small like the other dolls in her Barbie collection so she couldn't just stuff him and carry him around in her backpack all was so saddened by this he almost started crying again."I really wanted to go to school with Annie.." Armin whimpered.
"Hey..don't be sad" Annie said giving him his pacifier."we'll figure something out.." She murmured scratching her head. Armin furrowed his eyebrows together in deep thought as he sucked his pacifier. After a moment or two he looked at his ball jointed wrist and suddenly got an idea.
"Oohhh! I know! I know!" The doll replied bouncing in excitement.
(A/N: not a pretty bad filler chapter if I say so myself! I almost burst into tears myself though when i was writing out that super sappy moment with Armin and Annie's mom. I literally had to step away from my phone for a moment to syop crying! But most importantly, how on earth IS this little chick going to carry that big arse doll!? Will Armin wreak havoc in show and tell at Annie's school? Stay tuned!)
