Erin stood in the corner of her bedroom with tears in her eyes. She had begged Mama not to call Mommy at work, but she could hear Mama down the hall talking to Mommy on the phone. Erin reviewed the events that had transpired that afternoon and reluctantly came to the conclusion that she had been a very naughty little girl and was due for a very hard spanking. She had offered to give Mama her next paycheck from work to help pay for the damage to the car, and Mama had accepted her offer, but that wasn't going to save Erin's bottom from punishment. Mama usually didn't spank her; Mommy was usually the disciplinarian here in New York, but Mommy was working and wouldn't be home for a few hours so Erin assumed that Mama was going to spank her. Even though a spanking from Mama was rare, Erin had learned to dread a spanking from Mama just as much as a spanking from Mommy or Daddy. Erin leaned her forehead against the wall and sighed. She wished that she could cuddle with her teddy bear, but Candy wasn't allowed to be in the corner with her.
Alex hung up the phone with a sigh. She walked down the hall to Erin's room and was pleased to find Erin standing in the corner where she was supposed to be.
"Come here, baby." Alex sat down on the bed.
Erin fled the corner and walked over to where Mama sat, mildly surprised when Mama guided her to sit on her lap rather than hauling her over it.
"How's your hand? Let Mama see." Alex took Erin's hand gently in her own and carefully peeled back the bandage, relieved to find that the bleeding had stopped and what she had originally feared was a deep cut was only a semi-deep scratch on Erin's palm that would be thoroughly healed in a few days.
"It doesn't hurt anymore." Erin confirmed honestly.
"Good. I talked to Mommy on the phone. She says to tell you that she loves you and she says that you get a choice. Either I can spank you now and get it over with, or she will spank you when she gets home." Alex explained Erin's options.
Erin hadn't expected to be given a choice and bit her lower lip with indecision. Her natural instinct was to avoid the inevitable for as long as possible. On the other hand, Erin didn't want her punishment hanging over her head.
"What would you spank me with?" Erin asked.
"If you want to get it over with, I will be spanking you with the hairbrush after I've spanked you with my hand. If you want to wait, I don't know what Mommy would spank you with." Alex replied.
"I guess I want to get it over with." Erin reluctantly decided, and smiled a little when Mama kissed her temple.
"That's my brave girl. Hop up and I'll be right back." Alex gently patted Erin's bottom.
Erin obediently stood up, assuming that Mama was going to get the hairbrush. When Mama returned with the brush in hand, Erin cowered a little, but did not fight when Mama pulled down her jeans and guided her over her lap. Alex placed her hand on Erin's bottom over her light blue My Little Pony panties.
"Do you understand why you're getting a spanking, young lady?"
"Yes, Mama. Because I threw a tantrum and broke the car window." Erin's lower lip trembled.
"You know better than to throw a tantrum when you don't get your way. What does 'no' mean in this house?"
"No means no." Erin whimpered, thoroughly humiliated by her behavior. She had asked for ice cream and had thrown a tantrum when Mama denied her request.
Erin winced as Mama began to spank her, trying to lie obediently still over Mama's lap and accept her spanking like a big girl. She trusted that whatever Mama decided to do to her was right and she knew that it would be over faster if she cooperated as much as possible. Tears welled in Erin's eyes as the sting began to build. She placed her hand in the small of her back.
"Mama, I'm sorry!" Erin choked out.
"I know you're sorry, little one. Do you want Mama to hold your hand?" Alex held Erin's hand in the small of her back while she continued to spank. Sympathetically knowing just how much a spanking hurt, Alex wished that she could go easy on Erin but knew that she couldn't. Erin deserved a good, hard spanking for her behavior and Alex's own ability to sit down properly would be at risk if Olivia wasn't satisfied with the results.
When Erin was crying freely, Alex pulled down her panties, revealing her bright pink bottom, and picked up the hairbrush. Erin, knowing what was coming, cried harder. With her free hand, she reached over and picked up her teddy bear and buried her face in Candy's fur. Little Erin was thoroughly convinced that there was nothing worse than a spanking and resolved to be a really good girl from now on.
Olivia walked into the apartment and was greeted by the obvious sounds of a spanking in progress: some kind of wooden object striking bare flesh accompanied by Erin's sobbing. The brunette detective sighed sadly as she kicked off her shoes. Instead of going to Erin's room, she went to her own room to put away her badge and gun and change her clothes, noticing right away that the bedside table drawer was open and the hairbrush was gone. Then she went to the kitchen and rummaged around until she found Erin's pink sippy cup and filled it with Erin's favorite juice, setting it aside for later. In an attempt to distract herself, she rooted through the mail but found nothing of interest. Olivia knew that if she went into Erin's room in the middle of her spanking, then Erin's attention would be focused on her rather than on her punishment where it needed to be, and Alex needed Erin's undivided attention in order to teach Erin a proper lesson, so Olivia resisted the urge to rush to her sobbing little one. After several long minutes, the sound of Erin's sobbing changed and Olivia knew that it was almost over as the spanking gradually slowed and eventually stopped altogether. Still Olivia waited, giving Erin about fifteen minutes alone with her Mama to soak up Mama's comfort and affection. With Erin's sippy cup in hand, Olivia went to the bedroom and the sight broke her heart. Alex sat on Erin's bed with Erin on her lap cuddled in her arms sobbing on her shoulder and clinging tightly to Alex while Alex rocked and soothed her. Erin's jeans and panties were tangled around her legs and the hairbrush had been discarded on the floor. Even though the door was open, Olivia knocked lightly to announce her presence so as not to startle either of her girls. Alex looked up and gave Olivia a sad smile.
"Look, baby, Mommy came home early." Alex cooed lovingly.
"Hi, sweetie. You're having a tough afternoon, huh?" Olivia cooed sympathetically, placing Erin's sippy cup on the bedside table and sitting down on the bed next to Alex, reaching out to gently brush Erin's hair out of her face.
Erin couldn't speak properly at the moment, but she nodded in agreement. A thought suddenly seemed to occur to her and she began to cry harder, afraid that she was now going to be in trouble with Mommy too. She couldn't handle another spanking right now. Mommy seemed to understand what she was thinking and rushed to comfort her.
"I'm not mad at you, baby girl. Mama punished you already and I'm not going to spank you again. Do you want to come see me?" Olivia held out her arms.
With one more loving kiss from Mama, Erin crawled over into Mommy's lap and held on just as tight.
"She was very brave. I don't think we'll be throwing anymore tantrums again anytime soon." Alex said.
"Well, I'm very glad to hear that." Olivia smiled and kissed Erin's temple.
Olivia and Alex cuddled and comforted their little girl until Erin stopped crying. Erin crawled from Mommy's lap back into Mama's lap and snuggled into her arms, still wanting to be held. Alex kissed Erin's forehead and lightly tickled Erin's belly, causing the little girl to giggle. She giggled again when Mommy gently tickled her side. Now that the punishment was over and forgiven, everyone was more than ready to get back to normal.
"Well, I don't know about either of my girls, but I'm hungry. Who wants wings?" Olivia asked.
"Me!" Erin smiled.
"Let's go put you in the bath before the food gets here." Alex kissed Erin's forehead again.
