Nottabeater 'verse: Aunty Support

[notxpected.livejournal.com]

Arcee hummed a soft tune to her tiny daughter, trying to settle her for the night as she sits by her best friend, frowning and looking at her friend. As Firefly finally settles she reaches out, touching Bee's shoulderplate.

"You ok?"

The yellow femme starts and looks around from where she'd been watching Kriti snuggle Waltz on the other couch, the confusion in her optics saying she'd been miles away.

"Uh... yeah. Yeah, I'm okay."

Honey just looks at her.

Kriti glances up momentarily, before resuming Operation: Waltz Snuggle. She hadn't been in the room when her Sissy's sparklet had been put into his shell and subsequently vanished, but she had overheard the conversation Rap had had with Jazz.

The idea of a part of her family going missing had upset the little one, but all thoughts of how she had been upset had left once she saw Waltz...Sissy needed snuggles...Snuggles helped make things better, right?

"You sure?" Cee frowned, putting her servo over the larger femme's, then blinked and sighed as Firefly's large optics opened and focused on her aunt.

"Ph... ph.... phhhhhbt," she said, tiny wingplates shuddering with the effort of talking.

Bee nods, then sputters with laughter despite herself at Firefly before sighing and rocking Honey as the little femme whines.

"This... yeah. I'm okay."

[dens-extra-pups.livejournal.com]

Kriti's attention goes from Waltz to Bee and Arcee, and the little femme chirrups a question. Something's funny?

[notxpected.livejournal.com]

Delighted that she got attention Firefly squeaked softly and buzzed again till her mother gently inserted a bottle of energon into her mouth. Then it was all happy sucks and the occasional flutter of wingplates.

"Well. Assuming my daughter doesn't interrupt again, you know I'm here to talk to," she said softly.

Bee points to Firefly by way of explanation to Kriti, then rocks Honey and turns back to Arcee.

"I know. I just... there's nothing wrong with me. It's...." She glances at her youngest daughter, who is curled around Kriti with her optics shuddered, her expression saying just how much she worries about Waltz and wishes that she could fix what's hurting the youngster.

[dens-extra-pups.livejournal.com]

Kriti nods a bit, before resuming snuggling Waltz. The youngster doesn't understand the whole situation, but she does intend to try to cheer up Waltz-Sissy.

Cee frowned again and watched Waltz. "I'm sure he's fine. Probably someone has him right now, and is taking are of him, and looking for a way to bring him home."

Bee nods and moves her mouthplate as she tries to smile. "Yeah. Of course."

But her optics darken as she looks away. She's remembering all the friends who died at Tyger Pax and thinking that not everything ends happily.

Kriti frowns, and snuggles Waltz a little more, before moving over to the other couch in order to give MamaBee snuggles as well.

[notxpected.livejournal.com]

"Don't be like that. Not everything ends.... I mean, we're all here, aren't we? We got a happy ending," Arcee frowned.

[random_xtras]

"Yeah. You're right." She scoops up Kriti and snugs her next to Honey. //So far....//

[dens-extra-pups.livejournal.com]

Kriti chirps a bit, before snuggling Honey. Those little optics don't miss much, and as a result, Kriti's expression is that of confused frowning. Maybe snuggling MamaBee isn't enough?

[notxpected.livejournal.com]

"Bee..." she sighed, then shook her head. It wasn't going to work, convincing her that things were looking up for them.

"Faith, sister," she said simply, then tickled Kriti's foot gently.

[random_xtras]

Bee sighs, then steals Firefly and adds her to the cuddle pile before reaching over and pulling Waltz over to the couch where she and Cee and the tinies were parked. This done, she leans back till she's laying with her head in her best friend's lap, snuggles her daughters and niece, and shutters her optics.

[dens-extra-pups.livejournal.com]

Kriti squeaks at the foot tickling, and then makes a pleased noise when Waltz and Firefly join the cuddle pile.

[notxpected.livejournal.com]

Cee smiled slightly, then made a relaxed noise and leaned back. "So where's Jazz?"

[random_xtras]

"At the Black Dog with Rap and Scatcat." Bee gently rubs Waltz's back, her spark singing gently to she and the smaller femmes between them.
