The four witches were now at the dog shelter. Madison had Calla in her arms as they walked ahead, "I meant ask later today, you munchkin."
"But I wanted one now," Madison laughed and opened the door and walked in with the older witches behind her. The woman at the desk looked up and Cordelia made her way to her. They spoke for a few moments before Cordelia came back to them and took Calla. She walked her into one of the back rooms and sat her down.
The three women watched as she moved around the room looking at all of the animals. She finally stopped in front of a crate and knelt down in front of a little black lab puppy, "This one."
oooOOooOOooo
Calla was now fast asleep in the corner of the couch with the puppy curled up on her lap. She'd come home and played with the newly christened "Nala" for hours before both she and the puppy were completely worn out. Misty grinned at the sight and walked down the hallway into her girlfriend's office. Cordelia was stressing out about Hank and Misty walked around the desk and grabbed her hand before pulling her up.
"Mist, baby, I have stuff to do," The wild blonde just pulled her out of the office and down the hallway stopping in the doorway of the living room, "She's so precious," Misty nodded and Cordelia pressed a kiss to her cheek, "Thank you."
"No problem, darlin'."
oooOOooOOooo
"I played by your rules. We brought her to his little meeting… She didn't feel comfortable with him… She's an empath… She can feel things off of other people, but she's only a child so only intense feelings at this point," Cordelia pinched the bridge of her nose and she spoke to the lawyer on the phone, "I'm not putting her through that again.. I don't care what he says… You want me to ask my three year old her opinion? Fine," Cordelia rolled her eyes, "Calla? Come here for a minute, baby girl," In just a few seconds Cordelia heard little footsteps come running into her office.
"Hi, mommy," She grinned at her and sat the phone down so she could hold her arms out to her baby. The little witch rounded the desk and was pulled to sit in her mother's lap.
"The lawyer is on the phone again, sweet heart," Tears welled up in little blue eyes immediately.
"I don't wanna see him again," Cordelia nodded and picked the phone up.
"Did you hear that?" She made faces at her daughter as she spoke, "You told me to ask her and I did. If he still wants to make her that uncomfortable, what kind of father is he anyway?" She hung up on the man and put the phone back on the desk before looking at her daughter, "Do you want to go to the park?"
"Yes!"
oooOOooOOooo
"He's insisting on seeing her again," Misty looked up and caught her girlfriend's eyes as she entered their bedroom, "I don't want to keep putting her through this, Misty. What do I do?" The swamp witch held her arms out to her girlfriend who settled against her.
"I honestly don't have a clue, darlin'. All I can say is we're gonna love her through this and protect her with everythin' we got," Cordelia nodded against her.
"Hank has requested that I not be there again," Misty nodded and dropped kisses into blonde hair, "You can go with her though?"
"Absolutely," Cordelia pulled back and pressed a kiss to Misty's lips, "She's mine too, Dee. I love her."
"She is yours. Completely and truly. Just ask her."
oooOOooOOooo
"But I don't wanna see him again," Cordelia nodded to her baby as she sat in the bathtub that night, "I didn't like him."
"I know, little one. I know," Calla pouted up at her and Cordelia pulled her from the tub before wrapping a little towel around her body, "I promise nothing bad will happen though, baby girl."
"How do you know, mommy?"
"Mama's going to be there with you," Calla met her eyes.
"Really?"
"Really, baby," She scrunched her little face up as Cordelia carried her into her room to get her dressed for bed, "Do you think that would be okay?"
"I guess so," Cordelia nodded and sat her down so she could pick out her pajamas for the night. Cordelia helped her get dressed before picking her up and carrying her into their room where Misty was. The wild blonde looked up when the door opened and smiled at her baby.
"Hey, sweet pea. How was bath time?"
"It was okay," Misty looked over to Cordela. Calla loved bath time, "Will you hold me the whole time he's there?" The swamp witch finally realized why the girl looked upset and stood before taking her from Cordelia's arms.
"Absolutely, Calla lily. I won't let him hurt ya," Calla nodded and hugged her mother tightly, "Now, how many stories do ya want tonight?" She pecked Cordelia's lips as she walked past her out the door and into Calla's room. Cordelia just smiled at the two of them before moving into her bathroom to take a shower.
oooOOooOOooo
Cordelia stepped out of the bathroom and into her bedroom and furrowed her eyebrows when her girlfriend wasn't already there. She stepped into Calla's bedroom and bit her lip grinning at the sight in front of her. Misty was asleep on the bed with Calla laying on top of her chest and stomach. The story book was laid open beside her and she had a protective arm wrapped around their baby.
Cordelia pulled her phone out and snapped a picture of her two girls before making her way to the bed and sitting the story book on the table beside the bed. She pulled the blankets up around the two of them and kissed them both on the top of the head before leaving the room and turning the light out.
oooOOooOOooo
Calla woke up early on the day of her second meeting and got up before running into her mothers' room. She pulled her little body up on the bed and wiggled herself between them. Cordelia giggled and shifted back from Misty slightly to make room for their little girl.
"Morning!" Misty groaned in response and Calla turned to face her. She leaned forward and kissed her mother on the end of her nose and Misty finally opened her eyes giggling. She sat up and leaned over the girl before holding her hands up, "No!" Misty laughed as she tickled her daughter's sides and stomach, "Mama!" The girl was laughing loudly and Cordelia watched on with love written all over her face. She finally stopped tickling her only to lean down and blow raspberries over the girl's stomach.
"Good mornin', Calla lily!" The girl laughed and sat up before throwing herself into Misty's arms, "What are ya doin' up so early?"
"I woke up," Misty laughed and nodded.
"Alright. I guess I asked for that one," Cordelia laughed now and stood from the bed before picking her daughter up and swinging her around. She heard the door open and an irritated looking Madison stepped in.
"Can the happy family keep it down please?" Cordelia looked over at Misty who had a devious look on her face and watched her girlfriend get up and run for the star. Madison looked at her wide eyed as Misty tackled her to tickle her too, "Oh my God! Get off of me!" Misty finally let her go and looked over at the girl who was giggling at her, "You better be glad I like you or your mama wouldn't be here anymore," Calla giggled and shook her head. Madison huffed at Misty before leaving the room.
"Mommy?"
"Yes, baby?"
"I don't wanna go."
