Guest Prompt: maybe you could do one where Cassie takes Rachel to see Shelby's show, and when they go backstage, Rachel throws a tantrum cause she doesn't want to leave her mommy?
Thanks so much for the prompt! I know this one's short, but I wasn't really sure how long to drag out a tantrum, you know? But all the same, I liked writing the little fluff and if you have anymore, let me know!
With love always, hayleynymphadora
Not Without My Mommy
"Go on in, Cass." Shelby's body guard grinned at her. "Hey, Rachel." he nodded his head at the little three year old and she smiled nervously, clutching onto Cassie's skirt shyly as they walked into Shelby's dressing room. She was doing a concert version of Wicked for a benefit and Cassie promised to take Rachel to go and see her before the show.
Cassandra opened the door and rushed up behind Shelby, wrapping her arms around her waist and placing kisses on her neck. "Mmm. Hello, Miss Elphaba," she greeted her girlfriend.
With a laugh, Shelby tilted her head back before adjusting it and giving Cassie a peck on the lips. "Hello, you." she responded. Rachel ran up to Shelby, ecstatically.
"Mommy!" she jumped up and Shelby caught her and pulled her into a hug.
"Hi, sweet pea," Shelby kissed their little girl on the forehead. "How are you?"
"Good!" Rachel beamed.
They stayed in Shelby's dressing room with her until she had 30 minutes left till show. They had gone all out for this benefit-had painted Shelby green and got her in costume and the whole nine yards. However, when it was time for Cassie and Rachel to get to their seats, Rach wasn't going for it.
"No, Mommy!" she stuck out her lower lip in a pout and crossed her arms over her chest. "Don't make me leave!"
Shelby's heart broke. When Rachel got like this it usually meant she was tired or just moody and needy. All the same...
"Baby girl, Mommy has to go sing," she said softly, kissing Rachel's cheek. "But I'll be back soon, okay? Then we can go home and Mama and I will tuck you in together and everything will be okay. That sound okay?"
"No!" Rachel started to cry. "Don't go!"
Cassie put her hand on Rachel's back and crouched down to her level. "You're going to see Mommy all night, panda-boo. Don't cry. She's going to be singing for you allll night long. We're not really going anywhere."
Rachel stomped her foot and sobbed harder. "I'm not going! Not without my Mommy too!"
Cass and Shelby exchanged a sad look. This was actually very adorable, but it was also very heartbreaking.
"I'll only be gone for 20 minutes now, Rach, and then you'll see me for hours and hours. Please be good for Mama?"
Rachel cried harder. "But I want you AND Mama."
"It's only for a little bit, baby. I promise, okay? Please stop crying," Shelby gave her daughter a big hug and Rachel sniffed. "Okay..."
Cassie wiped Rachel's tears with the sleeve of her sweater.
"Come on, okay? Mommy has to finish getting ready."
"I love you, Mommy."
Shelby smiled. Rachel was such a precious little girl. "I love you too, Rachel."
