Chapter Seven: Others.
Leo POV.
After our meeting with the family and ace announcing that we got a new baby girl in the house, most people congratulated us while Arya stayed hidden in my arms.
Once the commotion was over she turned to me with questioning eyes.
"What did he mean by rule for littles?" she asks with a raised brow she looked adorable.
"You're not the only little in this house, there are also other doms in the family" I reply honestly, we're open with each other and never hide things from each other.
"And the rules?" she asks
"Littles are littles respect them and their little space. If a little misbehave you tell their dom or CG" I tell her, it's just a simple respect rule but we like to remind everyone with it whenever we have a new dom or little.
"And how many littles did you have before" she fires back, I think she's jealous which I find adorable again, respecting her feeling I keep a straight face instead of cooing at how adorable she is.
"I had one, and it was for a very brief time," I say, it hurt to talk about that topic. She noticed that and let the topic go, I decided to introduce her to other family members that are in the same community as us.
"Come on let's go introduce you to other family members," I say taking her hand.
I decided to introduce Mathew first, knowing him he'll probably be a big brother to her. He doesn't regress to a very young age, the most he ever did was like an eight-year-old, he mostly acts like a teenager although he's the same age as me.
He's very known for his mischief and trouble-making, I know those two will probably get in too much trouble. But it's better than her hiding away all day long in her bedroom.
"Baby this is Mathew can you say hi," I ask her since she's still in my arms refusing to get down or let me go.
"Hi" she mumbles into my chest.
"Ohh the baby is shy," Mathew says pocking her thighs over and over again till she got enough and moved her face to call him off.
"Stopp it" she whines making Mathew laugh and coo at her. He tries to take her out of my embrace but she holds tight to me.
"Fine fine. Wanna play on my PlayStation?" he offers and she looks up at me, for permission or maybe reassurance.
"Go play baby I'll be in my office" I assure her letting her go.
Mathew offers her his hand and she takes it going to the entertainment room.
"She's different " my friend and Mathew daddy says.
"What do you mean," I ask jay, he's thirty years old and been with the family for the last fifteen years.
"She looks hunted and scared but at the same time she's like the most adorable little" jay finish, he just voiced how I feel about her.
"Just wait till Hailey see her, you two will probably have to fight over her," he says laughing. Hailey is a mommy dom without a little she's also a private hitman, a killer.
I stayed away for a full hour, giving her time to get to know Mathew and spend her hour with other people. I was starting to relax believing in Matthew's ability to take care of Arya until I heard her scream.
I ran toward the entertainment room to see Arya sobbing openly while Hailey is trying to calm her down.
"Baby calm down I was joking I promise just hush please," she said and failed in calming the little girl.
"Leo" she yells when she saw me and jumped into my arms. I looked at Hailey waiting for an explanation and she looks away acting all innocent.
"She said she gonna lock me away forever and keep me for herself" Arya explains pointing at Hailey.
It was probably a joke, Arya was so cute I felt the same way. But knowing where she came from and what she been through the joke took a wrong turn.
"Arya she was joking I will never let her take you away," I say kissing her tear-stained cheek.
Jay came into the room next probably to check on Mathew and see what's the cause of all the screaming. I saw Mathew whispering in his ear and jay start laughing out loud breaking the tension in the room.
"Ghost I think you just won" he kept laughing " really Hailey you lost from the first try"
Arya looks at me confused, jay meant our previous conversation where he said me and Hailey will fight over her.
"Okay little girl let go outside," I say trying to calm her down. But she kept squirming in my hands saying no, she didn't want to.
"Hey man take Mathew with you he can use some sunlight" jay saying making Arya stop and look at Mathew with pleading eyes.
"Fine...let's go play baby," he says and marches in front of us to the backyard.
We got a swing set out there with a sandbox and a treehouse, those weren't in Arya tour, she's in for a pleasant surprise.
Once outside I set her on her feet and tell her she can play for an hour with Mathew. She was shy at first but got the hang of playing soon making me smile.
Jay is right she's different I just wish she'll choose me to be more than simply her caregiver.
