Love Them
"What's wrong sweetie?" asked one Sawada Nana as she crouched before her four year old daughter. The light haired child sniffled at first, her hands rubbing at the tears that fell, making the skin around her eyes red.
"Head hurts," she finally responded, continuing to rub her little fists into her eyes as if that would cure the ache in her head.
Nana sighed as she picked up Natsume, the little girl instantly burying her head into the crook of her neck, small hands fisting into her mother's blouse. Nana softly stroked her child's hair, going from the base and up to her temples in hopes of soothing Natsume's pain. The young girl made a noise of protest, shaking her head to rid herself of Nana's hand.
"Come no, Tsume, mama only wants to help,"
"Touch worse, don like."
Again Nana sighed, making a comment about troublesome children, which made the child in her arms flinch.
"Oh Natsume, not like that," Nana murmured, grimacing a little as she realized her slip. The girl tried her best to bury herself further into her shoulder and all Nana could do was lean her head gently against the four year's, placing a kiss on her head as if to ask for forgiveness.
The sniffle she got was her answer on how her child was feeling to both her comment and her pain, so Nana took her to her bedroom, made sure all the blinds were drawn and gently laid her daughter down.
"I'm getting your medicine okay?"
A hiccup was her response, followed by a croaked 'okay'.
Nana headed to the restroom that was a part of her rooms, where she kept Natsume's medicine and brought it out, pouring it and setting the small cherry liquid down as she coaxed her eldest into a sitting position.
"Drink it all," Nana told her as she handed her the small cup. A grumble was her response. Taking the now empty cup, she wiped any red substance from her daughter's lips and brought up a thin blanket that she pulled over the four year old.
"Mama?"
"Yes Tsuna?"
Her youngest stood in the doorway, a bit hesitant to proceed into the room. The last time his sister had gotten like this, she had thrown her medicine cup at him for being too loud. Eyeing her daughter, the brown haired woman stood up once more and headed towards her baby boy.
"Keep your sister company, Tsuna," she told him, placing him beside Natsume, who had curled up underneath the blanket. "I'm making some soup for you Tsume."
"Tofu mama," her eldest said, "And carrots."
Nana hummed, a sweet smile gracing her features as she looked over her shoulder and saw how Tsunayoshi had cuddled up to his sister, one arm wrapping around the girl, the other softly stroking her hair with such a careful touch Natsume probably didn't notice it.
"We'll see. I'll wake you two up when its ready."
Her heart soared at the sight of her babies and how they were. Such sweet children, when her daughter wasn't with a headache she was pulling along her brother, showing him how to do things she'd seen their 'mama' do.
A giggle escaped her as she overheard a testy remark from Natsume, which was easily ignored by Tsunayoshi, who knew how testy his sister got.
Troublesome children indeed.
And They Will Love you
AN: Sawada Nana gives me so many feels.
Thank you Treavellergirl for reviewing. I'm always happy to try to bring something new to this fandom.
Until next time,
