AN: Thank you for understanding and for your kind words. This is for those requesting Little Brittany.
"You just don't want to give mommy a break, do you?" Rachel asked softly as she wiped the tears from Brittany's eyes. The blonde just shook her head and tried to reach for her mommy through the bars of her crib. She really didn't want to leave Rachel's side, that's where she was safe and where the monsters couldn't get her.
"You need some sleep and mommy has to clean before Shelby visits," Rachel kissed the hands trying to grab her then gently pushed them back through the bars. Tears continued to fall from Brittany's eyes and she shook her head.
"Scare," Brittany mumbled and pulled the blanket over her head. If her mommy wasn't going to stay then she had to hide from the monsters! Rachel frowned and pushed the bars down so she was able to sit beside Brittany. Getting the blonde to sleep was usually a doddle, but a nap wasn't wanted today.
At the feeling of Rachel beside her, Brittany immediately cuddled into her side for the hundredth time that day. Not that Rachel minded, but she wanted to at least pee by herself.
"Are you scared?" Rachel asked softly and stroked the blonde hair. Brittany nodded and squeezed her eyes shut. "What of?" Brittany pointed down but quickly moved her hand, just in case one of the monsters bit her hand.
"Scare!" She repeated and buried her face in Rachel's neck. The brunette leant forward and checked under the crib. She had caught onto what Brittany meant and sighed. Apparently big Brittany's movie marathons were getting to little Brittany.
"No monsters," Rachel reassured and pried the blonde away from her. She then laid her down and readjusted the blanket over the obvious sleepy blonde.
"Ma," Brittany whined and reached up to Rachel. She didn't believe that. They were just hiding from her mommy! The tears began again and she repeatedly opened and closed her hands. Rachel sighed and leaned down to kiss the tears away while occasionally cooing.
"I'll check again, but," Rachel stood and pulled the bars back up. "If you growl I'm positive they won't get you," Rachel kneeled down and checked under the bed again. Nothing, not that she was expecting anything. She felt Brittany's gaze on her, so Rachel decided to growl. She then smiled triumphantly and looked at Brittany.
"Definitely nothing there now baby," Rachel smiled and reached through the bars to stroke the blonde's tear stained cheek. Brittany smiled and leaned into her mommy's hand. "Just pretend you're a lion," She moved her hand and ruffled Brittany's hair, smiling as Brittany growled.
"'ion!" Brittany cheered then showed her teeth. "Rawr!" Rachel faked a gasp which made Brittany laugh. Her mommy was silly.
"You're one cute lion, but a cute lion that should be sleeping," Rachel closed the curtains to decrease the lighting since it was the middle of the day. Brittany watched her mommy but her eyes closed after seconds.
"Sleep tight baby," Rachel said softly before leaving the room leaving the door open just a little. Now to make the apartment a little more presentable.
Although little Brittany was saved for the weekends, she sure knew how to make a mess in a matter of seconds. Rachel did contribute to the mess, though. She decided that a sleepover in the living room the previous evening was a good idea, but hadn't yet cleaned up the mountain of pillows and blankets...and possibly some empty food packets.
Rachel looked at the clock and pushed her sleeves up. An hour to clean; game on.

Brittany awoke to loud chatter coming from the room beside her. She frowned and pulled the blanket over her head trying to block out the rude people who disturbed her sleep. After a few moments later, the chatter was replaced with laughter and Brittany deemed she wouldn't get back to sleep.
"Ma," Brittany yawned and pushed the blanket off her. She rubbed her eyes and turned her head to the door, expecting her mommy to come in any moment. The blonde was more then ready to get up now. "Ma," Brittany called out. A banging caught the girl's attention and she immediately sat up. It definitely sounded like the banging was in the room.
"Ma?" Brittany whispered. Her eyes widened when the banging was heard again, but this time beneath her and that only meant one thing. Brittany's bottom lip quivered and her eyes filled with tears. She clutched the blanket covering her and held it to her chest as the banging continued. She tried to stay quiet; that way the monsters couldn't scare her however she couldn't stop her crying. With her hand wrapped around the bar, Brittany leant forward in an attempt to look under the crib. She rest her forehead against the bar but frowned when she couldn't see any further. Her crying only increased when the banging got louder then suddenly stopped. The monsters were planning an attack!
Where was her mommy? Why wasn't she coming to her rescue?! She had promised Brittany there wasn't anything there but... she could hear them!
Brittany looked around her crib for something to throw at the monsters. The only things she had was a pacifier and a soft toy, neither of which she needed at the moment. She reached back for the items and pushed her legs through the bars for better aim. Her arms followed and the blonde braced herself for her defence attack.
Ready Brittany thought to herself. Set she closed her eyes. Go! Quickly, she threw the items under the crib with a growl and pulled her arms back through the bar. She attempted to pull her legs back but she was stuck. Once again her eyes widened with fear because she knew the monsters would be angry at her now and they could get her legs!
The crying started again as she desperately tried to get her legs free. The banging started back up which only heightened Brittany's fears. The blonde began kicking her legs and pushed against the bars. The banging was followed by footsteps headed towards the room and since all rational thoughts had escaped Brittany's mind, she couldn't help but think it was the monsters.
"It's okay Brittany," A voice called out from the hallway. Brittany's head shot up and she looked at the door.
"Mommy," She cried and once again reached out through the bars. Her mommy was coming so she didn't care less about the monsters. "Mommy!" The door quickly opened and Shelby rushed towards the crib. She crouched down and held Brittany's outstretched hands.
"Oh baby," The woman said softly and kissed the blonde's hands. Even if it wasn't her mommy, Brittany would accept the comfort of Shelby. "Let's sit you back so I can put the bars down, then we can cuddle, okay?" Brittany nodded and moved her arms back, and with the help of Shelby, she managed to free her legs. She then scooted back but whimpered at the wetness beneath her. The wetness covered her lower half, her legs and from what she could see, the crib.
"Rachel!" Brittany blurted, breaking out of character. She knew what happened and wasn't comfortable talking to Shelby about it. "Can...Can you get Rachel, please?" Shelby hesitantly nodded then left the room. Once alone, Brittany got on her knees and inspected herself. She'd wet herself.
Brittany and Rachel refrained from using diapers or pull-ups as Brittany had control over herself. Little Brittany would tug on Rachel's arm twice to alert the girl she needed to 'potty' and it worked out well.
Through all the haste and crying, Brittany hadn't realised that she wet herself or even that she needed to go.
"Britt?" Rachel asked softly once in the room. She walked over to the crib and pushed the bars down while Shelby stood by the door incase Rachel needed help. Brittany frowned and covered her face in embarrassment.
"Little Britt was scared," Brittany mumbled and wiped at her eyes. "but she didn't want to shout because of the monsters," Rachel sat beside Brittany and pat her lap. Brittany shook her head and covered herself with the blanket.
"She didn't know, it just happened!" Brittany's eyes filled with tears and Rachel wrapped her arms around her. Seeing big Brittany cry was heartbreaking.
"What just happened?" Rachel asked softly. Brittany moved away to reveal the wet patch on the crib and Rachel's eyes filled with realisation.
"It's okay," Rachel stood up and held her hands out to Brittany. She smiled softly and helped the girl up. "Little Britt had an accident and that's fine," Brittany looked down and played with her hands.
"I sorry," Brittany mumbled and Rachel pulled her into a hug. The brunette was going to make sure Brittany wasn't embarrassed by this.
"Mommy will clean you up and we'll get Shelby to scare away those monsters!" Rachel smiled and Brittany sniffed in agreement.

By the time Rachel had cleaned Brittany up, Shelby had cleaned up the crib and checked under it for the 'monsters'.
"Scare?" Brittany asked as she crawled onto Rachel's bed beside Shelby. They decided movie in bed would be much better. Shelby shook her head and pulled the blonde onto her lap.
"Absolutely no monsters under there," Brittany sighed and leant into Shelby. "But I found a teddy and a pacifier under there," Brittany nodded and took the pacifier from the bed, slipping it in her mouth. Rachel smiled and joined the pair on the bed.
"She heard people downstairs moving in," Rachel said, but quietly so Brittany wouldn't hear. "That's the monster,"
