That Pesky Little Time Part 2

I had 2 guests ask for a sequel to Pesky Little Time. Hanna and Snow have a little talk.

After getting herself all cleaned up, Hanna went through to her bedroom and found her mom sitting on her bed waiting for her. She gave her a small smile and crawled on the bed and into her lap.

Snow ran her finger through Hanna's hair. "How are you feeling, baby?"

"My stomach really hurts," Hanna groaned.

"I'm sorry," Snow told her. She felt awful for her. Snow knew how bad her own cramps were sometimes. She hated that her daughter was in pain. She reached out for the pain pills she had set on Hanna's bedside table. "Here, why don't you take these. It'll help."

"Okay," Hanna sat up and took the pills from her mom. She took a sip of the water her mom had for her and swallowed the pills, hoping they would do their job. Hanna laid her head down on her mom and closed her eyes.

Snow pulled Hanna's baby blanket up around her and just held her close. "Do you want to talk about it?" Snow asked.

Hanna just shook her head.

Snow sighed. She didn't want to push anything, but she had to make sure Hanna understood what was going on with her body. "Do you know why this is happening?"

Hanna opened her eyes and looked up at her mom. "Yes, Mom," Hanna said with a raise of her eyebrows.

"Are you sure? Because…"

"Mom…" Hanna groaned. "I know everything, okay?" She did not want to talk about this right now.

"Alright," Snow said. She would leave that alone for now.

"Momma, I don't like a being a girl," Hanna moaned.

"I know, baby. Sometimes I don't either," Snow said with a laugh.

"Will this ever go away?" Hanna pulled her knees close to her chest, trying to make the cramping stop.

"That pesky little time is not fun, I know," Snow said as she kissed the top of Hanna's head. "But it won't last forever. The medicine should start working soon."

"'Kay," Hanna said, she snuggled closer to her mom. "Will you stay with me while I sleep?"

"Of course I will," Snow leaned back against the headboard and held Hanna tighter in her arms. "I will always stay with you."
