"Come sit at the table baby, lunch is ready." JJ called out to the brunette sitting on the floor, Emily ignored her continuing to play with her toy cars. They had a bit of a rough morning, tears and tantrums over bad memories and work stress, it had taken the blonde almost the entire morning to calm her little one's mind and settle her down, but now it seemed that she was to engrossed in her toys to listen to her,

"Em pumpkin, now please," JJ kept her voice soft, but her tone hardened just a little, warning her girl just a little that this was not optional, she needed her girl to eat. Emily looked up this time and moved to the table a toy car still in her hand, she held it up to the blonde in a silent question.

"Yes lovebug, you can keep it but please don't let it stop you from eating your lunch okay." Emily nodded and sat at the table, she took a couple bites of her sandwich before starting to play with the car in her hand again, JJ tried to prompt her girl's attention back to her meal a few times, but it did not seem to have the desired effect,

"Honey, can I have the car please," JJ asked holding a tan hand out for the toy,

"No mama playing," Emily whined softly

"You can play after you finished your lunch, but it seems to be distracting you now, so can I have it please," she asked again,

"No!" Emily shouted, shocked the blonde retracted her hand, the brunette never yelled at her,

"Em, that's not how we talk to people, I have explained to you that I need you to give me the car while you finish you lunch and then I'll give it right back, otherwise you are going to have to have a time out," JJ warned her girl, Emily's eyes widened and frustration filled her, she didn't want to eat she just wanted to play, why didn't her mama understand,

"No!" the brunette yelled again as she hit her plate off the table, her eyes filling with tears as it smashed against the floor,

Moving fast the blonde pulled her girl into her lap, so she didn't hurt herself on the sharp pieces of the plate that were now scattered across the floor. She lifted her onto her hip and carried her to the living room, she gently wiped away a couple of tears before setting her girl down in the corner of the room,

"Stand in the corner until mama comes back," the blonde said, before heading back into the kitchen to clean up the mess.

JJ had just finished cleaning up and making the brunette a new sandwich when she heard a change in the cries coming from the living room, earlier she had heard to frustrated and sad sniffles but now she could hear Em sobbing her heart out. Walking into the living room, she saw the brunette sat on the ground in the corner where she had left her, curled up as small as she could possibly get, knowing something was wrong the blonde headed over and crouched down beside the brunette turning her around to face her and placing her hand on her knees to steady herself,

"Lovebug what's wrong?" She said softly and Emily froze, refused to look at her and then shook her head gently,

"Come on, talk to me beautiful," JJ tried again,

"I-I didn't m-mean to." Emily stuttered out through her cries, she moved her legs and JJ immediately saw what happened, the brunette was getting better at asking when she needed to go but, in a time, out, she was probably to nervous, even though JJ wouldn't have thought twice about taking her,

"Oh lovebug it's alright, I know it was an accident, don't worry we'll get you cleaned right up," JJ told her gently, picking her up, not caring that her shirt was getting wet. Hearing anxious cried kick in, the blonde was quick to continue reassurance

"I know baby, mama's not mad. I promise," JJ told her honestly,

"Pumpkin can you take a shower with me?" JJ asked gently, when they had made it to the bathroom, Emily nodded and allowed herself to be undressed, JJ turned on the shower and undressed herself before leading the brunette under the warm spray. She cleaned them both of quickly and turned on the shower wrapping them up in warm towels. As she was dressing her little, she asked,

"Why didn't you tell mama you had to use the potty pumpkin?"

"I was in timeout." The brunette said as a way of explanation,

"Mama will never stop you going to the potty baby, no matter what alright pumpkin, no one is going to deny you that," the blonde reassured seriously, and Emily nodded.

"Alright all dressed," the blonde said once they were both wrapped up in warm clothes again, "now lets talk about what happened at lunch," Emily whimpered. JJ pulled her girl into her lap and settled them against the headboard of the bed,

"Honey, you know that's not how we show are emotions," JJ started softly, taking pale hands into hers, when the brunette began to ping at the rubber band that sat around her wrist,

"I know, I'm sorry mama, I felt f-frustrated," the little struggled over the word, "I really didn't mean to smash the plate, I'm sorry," she apologised again,

"Thank you for the apology baby, can you explain to me why you felt frustrated?" the blonde asked gently,

"Big Em feels out of control and I guess I wanted to take some back," Emily confessed,

"Is that cause of work?" JJ asked,

"Hmm, and bad memories," Emily confirmed with a hum,

"I understand baby, this is something we can work on, okay?" JJ told her and Emily nodded again in response,

"Shall we try lunch again?" JJ asked, Em nodded and patted her stomach. JJ sat her down at the table when they made it back to the kitchen and placed the new sandwich down in front of her before going off to clean the small wet patch on the floor.

Emily saw her mama cleaning up the wet patch on the floor and she whimpered a few times, her bottom lip quivering. Turning around at the noise, JJ moved back over to the brunette and reassured her,

"Its alright baby, it was an accident yes, I'm just cleaning it up," The blonde rubbed the brunette's back until are whimpers stopped and she turned back to her sandwich before she went back and finished cleaning up.

When they were getting ready for bed that night Emily was acting a little clingy, not that JJ minded, pulling Emily close JJ ran the bath and helped her get undressed before getting undressed herself and helping Em and herself get into the tub, before relaxing in warm water, as she washed the brunette she spoke gently,

"Are you alright sweetheart?" she asked her. Emily nodded but didn't say anything, happy just to be relaxing in the warm water and allowing her mama to wash her.

After the brunette and been dressed into pyjamas and a pull up and JJ was also ready for bed, she was fed her bottle, which was always her favourite part of the day, being held close and being fed gently, the warm milk helping her sleep, once she had been burped, JJ tucked them both in and switched of the light,
"I'm sorry mama," Emily said, her voice muffled from tiredness,

"For what baby?" JJ asked confused,

"Earlier," Emily said by way of explanation,

"Oh baby, that was forgiven hours ago, alright mama is not upset with you," JJ reassured her girl pulling her close,

"Okay mama," Emily said smiling at her softly, JJ retuned the smile and gently began to stroke the brunette hair, knowing it would help relax her and fall asleep, as the brunette's eyes closed, she spoke again,

"Goodnight my sweet girl, I love you," she whispered placing her kiss on the top of her partners head and holding her tightly in her arms,

"Love you too mama," Emily responded before falling asleep in the blonde's embrace.
