It was the first time that Rachel had gone out as a baby with Will and Emma. They had gone out for a Sunday lunch to was going well and no one stared at Rachel. She was happily coloring her children's menu as Will and Emma talked quietly. Rachel happened to look up and see her father's sitting in a table across the resturant. She began to sob and curled into Will's side.
"Hey, Love Bug what's wrong," Will asked.
"Daddy, Daddy, Daddy," Rachel screamed.
"Daddy's right her baby it's okay," Will said as he rubbed her back and looked quizzically at Emma.
"No! Bad daddy!" Rachel said, tucking her head into Will's abs as she curled up in the booth even more. Will and Emma looked and they finally saw them, Hiram and Leroy berry.
"Shh, baby. They're not gonna hurt you while good mommy and daddy are around," Emma told the young girl.
"Take her outside," Will whispered across the table to Emma.
Emma walked around the booth and quickly carried a sobbing Rachel outside Nukky and "Mwifter Dwuky in hand as Will made quick stride across the resturant to the two men
"I'd like a word with the two of you," he said firmly.
"Will Schuester?" Hiram asked. "I remember you. You taught that silly glee club."
"Teach." will said. "I teach the glee club."
"Oh," Leroy replied "Well you wouldn't happen to know how Rachel is doing would you?" he asked with genuine concern.
"Actually Rachel has been living with my wife and I since November," He informed the men.
"You can't keep her," Hiram said.
"We want her back," Leroy said.
"No." will replied. "You abused her. She hated living with you. She has many emotional issues right now because of you two."
"Let us see her." Hiram said.
"No." Will said.
"Then we'll stalk you," Leroy said. "We'll find her and get you sent to jail."
"You'll be the one sent to jail," will said. He picked up his cell phone, and texted Emma to drive home. He'd walk.
"We're sorry," Leroy said running after Will.
"She was our little girl first we just want to see her," Hiram said.
"Then why did you just let her go?" Will yelled back.
"We made a stupid mistake, Will please just one visit and you can even be there. it," Leroy pleaded.
Will rubbed his neck and sighed deeply as he faced the two men
"Let me ask Rachel. It's her decision, after all," will said. He picked up the phone and called Emma. "Hey em? Can you put rach on the phone?"
"Daddy?" Rachel said once she had the phone in her hands.
"Rachel, your dads want to see you once. Just once and me and Emma will be in there when they are. It's up to you," will said.
"No baby during meeting?" Rachel said.
"Of course," will said.
"Ok. But I want my lawyer there in case they hurt me," Rachel said.
"Of course Rach, can they come over for dinner tonight?"
"Yes daddy," She replied.
"Okay Bye Rach," Will said before hanging up the phone. "Alright you two are invited to dinner at my home this evening, at 5;30"
"Thank you so much, Will," Hiram said his eyes filling with tears of joy
"We'll see you later," Leroy said as he passed Will and walked out the door.
Will arrived home to find Rachel and Emma cuddled on the couch reading a story.
"Rachel your fathers are coming at %;30 Love Bug,"
Rachel swallowed hard and nodded. Emma helped Rachel prepare for the night she let her wear "Big girl Undies" and dressed in typical teenage attire. Dinner time soon rolled around and the Berry men arrived at the door carrying a bouquet of roses.
"What's Alfred doing here?" Hiram asked, pointing to Rachel's lawyer.
"Hes here for precaution, incase one of you tries to hurth me," Rachel said but blushed quickly. "I meant hurt me."
"Rachel, we wouldn't." Leroy said.
"That's what you said when you were younger, after you beat me you always said you wouldn't do it again but you did!" Rachel said.
"Rach I know what he did was wrong but we've taken classes and gotten help," Hiram told her as handed her the roses "We just miss our baby girl,"
Rachel blushed. "Thank you," She said.
"Dinner's ready," Em"Why do you guys have a high chair?" Hiram asked, confused.
"Um, just incase. Trying for a baby and everything," Emma said, placing a hand on her stomach.
"Oh," Leroy said. They all sat down for dinner and ate. Once they finished eating, Hiram and Leroy left.
"Ok, baby girl," Emma said. "Let's get that diaper on you." she picked Rachel up and brought her to the nursery. She placed her on the changing table and put rash cream on her butt and taped up her diaper.
"Mama," Rachel asked looking up at Emma once they had all snuggled on the couch "I see my daddies again?" As much as she was thankful being with Will and Emma spending dinner with her dads was a lot of fun and she was starting to miss them.
"Well I think we could work that out," Emma said. "We can have them over for dinner again," She said as she stroked Rachel's hair. "But for now let's have a baba,"
Rachel smiled and curled onto Will's lap as Emma left to prepare her bottle.
"Daddy?" Rachel said. "Is mommy got a baby in her tummy?"
"What? Why would you think that?" Will asked.
"Mommy said she got high chair for baby in her tummy," Rachel said. "I don't wanna share my high chair."
"Of course not, Rachey," will said. "You're our baby. Mommy just said that so your dads wouldn't be suspicious."
"Oh," Rachel said. "You want new baby?"
"Nope, I've already got one named Rachel Barbra Schuester and she's adorable as can be," will said, tickling Rachel in her stomach causing a giggle to escape her lips.
Emma entered the living room
"Will don't rile her up right before bedtime," She scolded.
Rachel and Will both glanced at her guiltily and she chuckled.
"Let's have your bottle Rachie,then bedtime," Emma said.
"Story?" she asked, holding mifter ducky.
"You can have daddy read you one before bed," Emma said.
"Otay," she said, accepting the nipple of the bottle into her mouth and drinking down the apple juice that was contained inside it.
"Slow down, honey. You're not going to get another one," Emma chuckled. "We don't want that rash to rush back onto your little butt."
Will pulled out her new goodnight moon book. Somewhere between Will's calm steady voice and Emma's fingers running through her hair Rachel relaxed completely and feel into a deep gentle sleep.
"I'll get her in the crib," emma said. She picked up Rachel gently as to not wake her.
She walked into the nursery and changed the Rachel's diaper. Rachel still did not wake up, thankfully for emma. She placed Rachel in the crib, and the little girl woke up from the sudden movement.
"Mommy," rachel said, reaching her arms up to Emma.
"Shh, baby," emma said. "go to sleep. You and quinny are going to the park tomorrow, remember?"
"What time isth it?" Rachel asked in her babyish tone.
"It's almost 11 pm. And little girls like you dont get to stay up this late, so sleep," Emma said, kissing her head and throwing a blanket over her
Will woke to Rachel's sobs coming over the baby monitor he rubs his eyes and looks and the digital alarm clock next to his bed it reads 3 am Emma is still sound asleep. He rubs his eyes again and goes into the nursery. He sees Rachel curled up in a ball crying in the corner of the crib.
"Hey Love Bug,:" He says as he enters the room and flicks on the lamp.
"Daddy," Rachel cries as she reaches for him.
"Shh Shh Daddy's here," He tells her as he begins to rock her.
"Scawry Dreawms Daddy," She sobs
"What were your dreams about, honey?" will said, rocking Rachel back and forth.
"Daddies," rachel said. "Dey stoles me."
"Shh, honey. Do you want to sleep with mommy and daddy? We'll make sure your daddies don't steal you; they won't baby." Will said. Rachel nodded into his neck. He grabbed mifter ducky and her nuk and walked back into his and emma's room. Emma was now awake.
"We've got a little visitor with some bad dreams," Will said as he sat Rachel on the bed.
Rachel crawled to Emma
"Hey Mommy," she said.
"Hi baby," Emma said as she held her close
Rachel cuddled in closer to Emma.
"Sleep, honey," Emma said, kissing her head.
"Gwoodnight mommy," Rachel said. "gwoodnight daddy. Gwoodnight baby."
"Why are you saying goodnight to yourself, sweetie?" emma asked.
"I not. Baby in momma's belly," Rachel said, putting a hand on Emma's stomach.
"Rachel, baby. I'm not pregnant. You're our little baby," emma said, kissing her head. To emphasis her point, she put the nuk in Rachel's mouth and kissed her head. "Goodnight, Rachey."
Rachel awoke the next morning to find herself cuddled up closely to Will. She poked him in the sides to wake him up. Once Will was awake it turned into a full on tickle attack which caused Rachel to squeal and laugh wildly. Emma came into the room and snapped a few pictures.
"Daddy! No more!" Rachel laughed wildly.
"Ok, lovebug," will said, picking her up and walking to the nursery.
Will changed Rachel and dressed her for the day.
"Are you ready to spend the day with Quinny?" Will asked.
Rachel nodded "uh-huh"
"Mommy and Daddy Will be gone so be good for Quinny okay?" He said as he picked her up off the changing table
"Where you goin?" Rachel asked "I no wanna stay with Quinny I wanna go wif you,"
"Mommy and Daddy have to, go do grown up things Love Bug you'll have more fun with Quinny,"
Rachel began to sob.
"No! I want Momma and Daddy!"
The door bell rang and Emma let Quinn in. While Will was still in the nursery with Rachel
"You love Quinny Hunny why are you so upset?"
"You and Momma want new baby," Rachel sobbed.
"No, honey," will said. "We don't."
"You gonna go to specialist while I gone to get mommy pregnant," Rachel yelled and cried.
"Shh, no. Mommy and daddy are getting their taxes done today, baby," Will said.
"Hey," Quinn said, poking her head in the nursery door. Expecting to see a happy Rachel, she frowned at the crying girl.
"What's wrong Rachie," Quinn said as she walked over to Will and stroked her face.
"Want Momma and Daddy," Rachel screamed.
Emma entered the room to find the crying girl.
"Shh," Emma said. "Shh, honey."
"Mommy and daddy!" Rachel cried.
"We're right here love bug. Mommy's got no baby in her belly and she's not gonna," Will said.
"Stay here," Rachel whimpered out.
"We have to be gone sweetie," Emma said.
"I'll go with you and watch her," Quinn offered
"No, don't ruin your day at the park. We'll video message you on your cell phone," Emma replied.
"No park Momma," Rachel whined as she reached for Emma who took her in her arms.
"What if mommy promises she won't get another baby in her? Then will you go to the park with Quinny?" Emma asked, stroking her cheek.
"No!" Rachel said.
"Baby, I bet you're hurting Quinny's feelings," Emma replied.
Quinn nodded and faked a sniffle.
"No!" Rachel screamed. "No Quinny,"
"Rachie baby don't you love me anymore?" Quinn said
"Me wuv you, Quinny," Rachel said.
"Then come with me to the park," Quinn said.
"No, mommy and daddy," Rachel said, frowning back and forth between Emma and will and Quinn
"Why are you clingy today Love Bug?" Will asked.
"I, jus want Mommy and Daddy," She screamed.
"Rachel this is your first warning," Emma said calmly.
"Mommy," Rachel whimpered.
"Shh," Emma said. "Honey, go to the park with Quinn and mommy promises she isn't getting another baby."
"Otay," Rachel said, frowning and putting her arms out to get picked up by Quinn
"We'll have fun! baby," Quinn said brighlty.
Quinn carried Rachel from the nursery out the front door but she continued to pout.
"Why so pouty?" Quinn asked, tickling Rachel. But the tickling had no effect on the girl.
"Mommy and daddy getting a new baby. I too old for them," Rachel said, pouting. "I gots an idea Quinny! I gotta be a baby all da time! No Talkings wike a big gwirl and only eatwing mwessy and stuffs."
"Oh yeah?" Quinn said. "What about school?"
Rachel just babbled in response.
"Rachie Your Mommy and Daddy don't want a new baby sweetheart," She said as she hugged her close.
"Goo goo," Rachel said, smiling.
"Rachey, no," Quinn said.
"Goo ga!" Rachel said, clapping her hands.
"Ok, if you're going to be an infant, I'll treat you like one," Quinn said, putting her in her babyish seat in the back of quinn's car. She laid a blanket over the girl as well. "This is so baby doesn't get cold," Quinn explained slowly in a babyish voice with wide eyes. She went to the front seat and started to drive to the park.
Rachel sat and babbled happily in the backseat. As Quinn sat in the front seat and wondered how to get Rachel to stop this and make her know that Will and Emma wanted her just the way she was.
"Hey Rachey?" Quinn asked, looking back at the teenager. "Do you want to stop and get some vegan ice cream?"
Rachel was about to respond yes happily before she realized she was an infant and she wouldn't speak like a toddler.
"Goo goo!" Rachel giggled happily, clapping her hands and kicking her feet.
"What was that Rachel?" Quinn asked. "I dont understand."
"Goo goo!" Rachel yelled again.
"What? Oh, newborns like you can't have ice cream," Quinn said, pulling into mcdonalds. "Yes, I'd like one chocolate shake. That's all. See, Rachey? No ice cream for infants."
Rachel began to cry loudly.
"Looks like the baby needs a nap, that's too bad guess I'll have to find another big girl to take to the park toady," Quinn said. Hoping the girl would come around.
But Rachel was still Rachel she wanted her way and she was stubborn.
"Ok, I guess we'll have to go home and take a nap since the newborn baby is cranky," quinn said. "And we'll have to get her in more diapers, because infants make more messes. And no more pacis or bottles for her. Only nukis and baby bottles."
Rachel cried more, kicking the blanket off her.
"No, no baby. We don't kick," Quinn said.
"Quinny!" Rachel said, getting overly upset.
"Ahh, there's my big girl," Quinn said, smiling.
Rachel sniffled and buried her face in Quinns neck.
"Mommy and Daddy no want big girl," She said.
"Shh,Shh Mommy and Daddy want their Rachie," Quinn said.
"Park now?" Rachel asked.
"No, hon," Quinn said. "I really do think someone needs a nap. After your nap, we can go to the park."
"Otay Quinny." Rachel said, snuggling her cheek onto quinn's shoulder a bit more as to get comfy
Quinn sang a soft lullaby into Rachel's ear. Rachel was soon fast asleep and Quinn laid her down on her bed. After getting Rachel down Quinn called Emma.
"Emma we need to talk to Rachel," She said..
"What's wrong?" Emma asked.
"She keeps thinking you want a new baby. She was acting like a newborn on the way to the park," Quinn replied. "We need to make her think she's the only one we need."
"I have an idea," Emma said.
"But how?" Quinn asked. "Why did she start thinking this anyway?"
"We told her dads the high chair was for a baby in my uterus, not her," Emma said. "But I'm thinking, I'll take off work for a few days and just hang out with her. Pull her out of school and everything."
"Excellent," quinn said. "I have my workers pass because I have my needed credits, so I can come by too."
Quinn spoke with Emma for a few more moments before hearing Rachel waking from her nap.
"Rachel, just woke up So I have to go but we can talk later," Quinn said.
"Goodbye, Quinn," Emma said.
"Hey there sweetie," Quinn said when she entered the room.
"Hi Quinny," Rachel chirped happily
"Someone's a happier baby." Quinn said, tickling her chin. "Come on, time to go to the park.
"No park!" Rachel said. "Wanna stay here and pway."
"That's perfectly ok, Rachey. First let's get you changed." Quinn placed Rachel on the changing table and spread rash cream on her butt then taped up a new diaper. In between, she blew raspberries on Rachel's belly button.
"What do you wanna play with sweetie?" Quinn said.
"Will you play dollies wif me Quinny?"
"I would absolutely love to play dollies with you Rachie!"
They sat down on Rachel's play mat and starting playing dolls. After awhile, Rachel got cranky and threw her doll on the ground.
"Whats wrong, honey," Quinn asked Rachel.
"Diapee wets and twight, want mifter dwucky, and want baba!" Rachel yelled, tears streaming down her face. Quinn picked her up and quickly changed her diaper, handed the stuffed animal to her, and put a bottle to her lips.
After the bottle was finished Quinn sat Rachel on her lap.
"better?" She asked
Rachel nodded. "Read me book?" Rachel asked?
"What book?" Quinn asked, looking at the time.
"A big gwirl story," Rachel said, sucking her thumb.
"Goodnight moon?" Quinn asked, reaching for the copy of the book on the counter.
"No, a big gwirl story. Wike womeo and juwiet!" Rachel said.
"No, sweetie. You're too little for that story," Quinn said. "I'm sorry Rach, pick another one."
Rachel pouts but thinks for a moment.
"Awice In Wonderwand?" she asks.
"I think that's a good one," Quinn says as she walks over to the book shelf to find the book.
once she finds it she goes back over to the couch. She cuddles Rachel close and begins to read the story.
Quinn was only a few pages in when Rachel interrupted.
"Quinny, want Pucky!"
"Well how bout we call him and see if he'll come see his favorite little Princess?"
"Yea!" Rachel said, clapping her hands. Quinn leaves Rachel in the nursery to go call him. Rachel, acting as an infant, looks for something to play with. Her eyes land on her diaper. She begins to pull the left tab up and partially lift the diaper. She awed at the site and took the right tab up.
Soon the diaper is completely untapped and Rachel sat totally naked on the floor before being distracted by her blocks in the corner. Quinn got off the phone with Puck and went back to the nursery to find Rachel's diaperless bottom.
"No-no Rachie you have to keep your diapee on or we'll have a big mess," Quinn says as she picks Rachel up and places her on the changing table.
"Pucky come?" Rachel says.
"Yep, he's coming right now," Quinn says taping up the diaper.
"No diapee!" Rachel said, reaching to untape her diaper again but quinn beat her.
"No, you keep your diaper on," Quinn said. "We could always use a diaper cover that locks so you can't get at your diapers."
"No! Me want big gwirl undies for to impwess Pucky." Rachel said, frowning.
"Why do you want to impress puck?" Quinn asked.
"So he think I big gwril! he no brweak up wif me," Rachel whines.
"Rachel, Puck loves you he won't leave you hunny and how impressed will Puck be if you have wet panties hmm?"
"No!" Rachel screams as she pulls the tapes on her diaper off.
"Fine, you can have big girl undies, but when you wet or mess them you have to wear your most babyish outfit in front of puck." Quinn said, pulling some real underwear onto rachel.
"Pants?" Rachel asked.
"No," Quinn said, slapping her thigh. "You still talk like a baby."
"Pwaths pwease Quinny?" Rachel asks
"I mean it Rachel, no messes and you have to tell me if you have to go potty okay?" Quinn says as she slides a pair of jeans onto Rachel.
"Wes Quinny," Rachel says
Quinn lifts Rachel from the changing table and the door bell rings.
"Hello, Noah" Rachel greets as she opens the door.
"No," Quinn said, coming up behind her. "We agreed."
"Hwi Pucky," Rachel said, going into her baby mode.
"Hey Sweetie," puck said, leaning down to kiss her on the head and grab her butt. "Where's your diaper, hon?"
"Uhh no nweed diapee!" Rachel said, smiling.
"Yes you do," Puck said.
"We made a deal." Quinn said. "If she wets herself, I'm putting her in the most babyish outfit to remind her she's just a little kid."
"Oh?" Puck said."Why do you suddenly want to wear big panties?"
"I Bwig Gwril! I No want you get nother gwrilfrwiend," Rachel said to him
"Rachie, baby your my girl," Puck said as he pulled her to his lap "I only want you,"
"Rachie can you be a big girl and play while Pucky and I talk in the kitchen please," Quinn said.
Rachel nodded she sat on the chair while Quinn and Puck went to the kitchen.
"Puck I'm worried, Rachel thinks that Will and Emma don't want her anymore, now you?"
"Whats up with her?" puck asked, startled at what Quinn had told him.
"I don't know, ever since her dads came over she's been different," Quinn said. She heard Rachel crying from the living room. She rushed back in to see Rachel with wet jeans and a tear steamed face.
"You couldn't even last 20 minutes, Rachey. This is why you need diapers." Quinn said, picking her up and bringing her to the nursery. She placed her on the changing table and slipped a diaper onto her. She rummaged through her closet and found a pink baby nightie that covered only part of her diaper and put it on her. Then, she put her in a pink bonnet to match, and patterned socks. She clipped her nuk to the front of the nightie. Rachel cried throughout this whole process.
"I think baby needs a nap," Quinn said.
"No!" Rachel said trying to kick her socks off.
"Rachel," Puck said as he entered the room. "Stop that right now!"
"No I gwril," Rachel screamed.
"You're not acting like one," Puck said.
"Do I need to call your Daddy?" Quinn asked
Rachel suddenly trembled with fear.
"No, no! Pwease no dada, he hurt and bweat me! No dada!" Rachel said between tears, shaking violently.
"Shh, Rachey. Daddy and mommy, not daddy and daddy." Quinn said. Still, Rachel wouldn't calm down. Quinn picked her up and rocked her back and forth until she calmed slightly. "Wanna take your nap now?"
"No" Rachel whimpered "I took nap not sweepy wanna cwuddle wif Quinny and Pucky," She said.
"Okay baby," Quinn said picking Rachel up. "Puck can you make Rachie a bottle please."
"Anything for my princess," he said.
Soon Rachel was cuddled on the couch with her head in Pucks lap and her legs on Quinn's while she drank the warm milk from the bottle.
"you're so cute in your cutie baby clothes." quinn cooed, tickling her feet. Rachel laughed then continued drinking the milk.
"Ahh," puck said, wiping some milk that dribbled down her chin. "No dribbles." the door opened and both the teens looked up to see Emma walking up the stairs and coming to pick up Rachel.
"Rachey," Emma said, hugging her close. "Mama missed her baby today."
"Momma!" Rachel squealed.
"How was she?" Will asked.
"Well someone was just a little bit cranky today," Quinn said.
"You know, baby. No being a bad girl," will scolded.
"She was just a bit sad over some issues she couldn't control," Quinn responded. "Bye Rach, me and puck are going to go email your teachers and get your homework assignments for the next week." She placed a kiss on the girls cheek and left along with Puck.
"Dada, what day mean going to gwet my homeworth assthinments?" Rachel asked.
"Well you and mommy are taking a week off to school to hang out with each other." Will said. "Would you like that?"
"Yeah!" Rachel said, clapping her hands.
"Ooh, looks like somebody wet themselves," Emma said, picking up Rachel out of will's arms. "Momma will get that smelly butt changed. Yes she will," Emma cooed to Rachel. Rachel loved the infantile attention she was getting from emma and will lately so she went along with it.
"Rashy?" Rachel asked.
"Nope, no rash! It's all gone, baby," Emma said, blowing raspberries on Rachel's stomach.
Rachel giggled.
"Who's Momma's baby girl?," Emma cooed
"Rachie!" Rachel squealed.
"Momma and Daddy got you a present for you! You want to see it?" Emma asked.
"Wes Pwease Mommy," Rachel said happily.
Emma carried Rachel back down to the living room to sit with with Will. Will picked up a bag and pulled out a doll from it and gave it to Rachel.
"A new dollie!" Rachel squealed as she hugged it close. "Tank Wu Mommy Tank Wu Daddy," Rachel said.
After a few moments of cuddles Emma sat Rachel on her play mat and Will and Emma began to prepare supper. Rachel played with her new doll and her blocks before becoming bored and pulled the tapes off her diaper again.
"No no, Rachey!" Emma said, running over to Rachel and taping the diaper back up. "No baby. No taking off your diaper, hon." Rachel frowned.
"But mommy!" Rachel whined. "Me bored!"
"Shh, you can hang out with mommy in the kitchen. It's almost dinner," Emma said, picking Rachel up and placing her in the high chair.
"Fwoods?" Rachel asked, sucking her thumb.
"Soon, honey. Want your baba now?" Emma asked.
"Wes!" Rachel squealed.
After dinner Will took Rachel for her bath while Emma stayed and cleaned up the kitchen. Rachel played happily in the bath tub she started splashing and water was getting all over the floor as well as all over Will.
"Rachel stop splashing sweetheart," Will said calmly.
Rachel took his order and began playing with her bath toys. She buzzed her lips and talked babyishly to her toys.
"Dada," she said, looking up at will.
"Yeah, baby?" will asked.
"Can I sweep in your woom tonwight?" Rachel asked.
"I think that would be alright, but you need to ask Mommy first," Will said as he rinsed her hair and helped her out of the tub.
Will dried Rachel with a towel before taking her to the nursery to get her ready for bed. After he dressed her he placed her on her feet and she ran into the kitchen where Emma was putting away last of the dishes.
"Hey Baby!" Emma said.
"Mommy I sweep wif you and Daddy tonight?" Rachel asked.
"Of course baby little girls like you are to small to sleep all by themselves!"
"Wes mommy!" Rachel said, clunking her butt to the ground to sit down. "Baba?"
"No, baby. Not yet. You can have your baba at bedtime," Emma said, picking her up. "Right now is movie time."
"Want Nuki Mommy," Rachel whined.
"Okay baby," Emma said before going into the nursery.
Emma went to grab the wanted item from the changing table only to find it missing
"Will where's Rachel's Nukk?," she called.
"Isn't it on the changing table?" he called back.
"No!" Emma called back.
"When did she last see it?" will called back, running into the nursery.
"On nightie," Rachel said, pointing where the nuk had been.
"Oh! I forgot to unclip the nuk when I took off her outfit before her bath," Will said.
Will ran in to the bathroom and grabbed the nightie but the Nukk was still no where to be found. Rachel began to cry loudly.
"Nukki," she wailed "Want Nukki"
"Shhh," Emma responded.
"Here have you paci," Emma offered as she put the object to the girls lips.
Rachel sucked it for a few minutes before spitting it out.
"NO! Nukki," Rachel sobbed.
Will came running into the living room with the Nuk a few seconds later.
"Found it baby girl," he said as he walked over to her and slipped it in her mouth.
Rachel calmed when she had her Nuk. Will and Emma cuddled her on the couch and began the movie. They were in the middle of the movie when Rachel began to fuss.
"what's the matter?" Emma asked.
"Ba-ba," Rachel whined.
"No, baby. Its not bedtime yet. You can have it at bedtime." Emma responded.
"Pwease mommy." Rachel fussed.
"No. Suck your nuk, rach." Emma said, slipping the nuk back into her mouth.
Rachel quickly spit it out
"Daddy, want milky," she whined."I go night-nights"
"No-no baby you won't have a normal sleep schedule if we do that," Will said.
"Want baba," Rachel pouted.
"Will, she's a baby. She doesn't understand. No baba right now baby," Emma said. "Why else are you cranky? Do we need to change you? You have a smelly butt?" Emma cooed.
"No!" Rachel whined.
"Want Milky!" Rachel shouted.
"No Rachel," Emma said assertively.
"Milky Now,"
"Rachel, first warning," Will warned.
"Ufh!" Rachel cried. "I just want my baba!"
"Sweetie, calm down," Emma said. "You can have your bottle in half an hour. Watch the movie for now and suck your nuk." Emma stated calmly. Rachel nodded, accepting the nuk in her mouth.
Rachel pouted through the rest of the movie when the credits rolled across the screen she pulled out her Nuk
"Baba now?" she asked.
"Yes, honey. You can have your bottle in your crib." Emma said, picking Rachel up and going to the fridge to grab the bottle of grape juice. She set Rachel in the crib and handed her the bottle. Rachel drank thirst fully. Emma smiled, putting the blanket over Rachel and putting 'mifter dwucky' with her too. She said goodnight, kissed her head, and walked out of the room after shutting the lights off.
Rachel called out before Emma left the room
"Mommy I sweep wif you and Daddy tonight,"
"Oh Momma almost forgot," Emma said
She turned on her heels took Rachel from her crib and took her to the master bedroom.
"Hey." will said once emma and Rachel entered the bedroom.
"Dada!" Rachel squealed.
"No, honey. Bedtime. You suck your bottle and calm down." Emma responded.
Rachel giggled as she lay between Will and Emma.
"Rachie, bedtime," Will said.
"Tickle my feetsies," Rachel squealed
"Do you want to go in the crib?," Emma warned.
"No," rachel said, starting to cry.
"Shh, why you crying?" emma asked.
"You gonna puts me in da crib and daddies gonna stweal me and den you gonna make new baby," Rachel whined.
"Rachel, listen to mommy," emma said. "Your dad and dad are not going to harm you again. I promise I won't let them near you. And mommy doesn't want a new baby. She has you."
Emma tried to soothe Rachel but her crying wouldn't stop. Emma rocked her and hummed to her softly.
"Wuv you Mommy," she whispered before falling asleep.
"Love you too," baby girl. Emma whispered in her ear
