Anon-A-Miss: A New Family
A Mother's Comfort: Chapter 6.
Previous ChapterNext ChapterSunset awoke as she found herself atop her mother's body. After what had transpired yesterday, she'd fallen asleep in her mother's arms.
Luna moved her right hand and placed it on Sunset's back, stroking it gently as she moved it to the girl's head, running her hand through her baby girl's hair.
"Morning, baby girl. How did you sleep?" Luna asked softly, kissing Sunset's forehead as the girl nuzzled into her body. After what her sunshine girl had been through, she planned to spend some quality mother-daughter bonding time with Sunset.
"Still upset about the Anon-A-Miss thing, huh?" Luna asked comfortingly, not moving from her position. She was comfortable enough and Sunset needed comfort.
"Yeah. I just...I don't know why they'd do that to me. I didn't mean to steal their sisters." Sunset said, sighing as she closed her eyes and laid her head over her mother's chest, not wanting to get up right now.
Luna looked down at her baby girl with a warm, loving gaze. She kissed Sunset's forehead and lovingly rubbed her cheek with her palm.
"It wasn't your fault. They should've talked to their sisters about how they felt, not try to use you as a scapegoat." Luna stated. A look of anger came over her features. Her gaze softened as she looked down at her now distraught daughter.
Luna pulled Sunset deeper into her body, a protective instinct taking hold of Luna as she pulled the covers over her sunshine girl, making sure she was warm, comfortable and safe.
The bacon-haired girl sighed and felt her eyes droop. She was still tired.
Luna looked at her little girl with sympathy and love, kissing Sunset's cheek, nose and forehead as the girl sighed in contentment at the maternal treatment being shown to her.
Sunset looked around for her other mother, Chrysalis. The woman had become a second mother to her, caring for her and treating her like she was her own young. Well, she was. She'd been adopted by both of the women.
"I can tell you're still exhausted. You can rest your eyes if you want, baby girl." Luna offered, cooing at her adoptive daughter.
Sunset felt her body become warm every time her mother, Luna, called her that phrase. It felt so relaxing and comforting to be called such a sweet and loving nickname.
"Wanna watch a movie, sweetheart?" Luna asked softly, holding her adoptive daughter tight. Not enough to cause discomfort but enough to tell Sunset that she was safe and protected in her mother's arms.
Sunset noticed that the remote for the TV was on the stand underneath the screen that was hooked on the wall. The redhead used her magic as she used her palm and concentrated on focusing her magic to grab the remote.
Slowly, the rectangular piece of plastic and metal was encased in a golden grip as it floated into her hand. She looked back at her mother who had a stunned expression on her face.
"Sunset...that was incredible!" Luna exclaimed, her voice filled with love and pride. She gently hugged her daughter who leaned in to the affectionate touch, craving it even moreso.
"T-Thanks mom. I-I've been nervous about using it. I rarely try to use it in this world. It mainly works when I play music." Sunset said, smiling as she basked in the maternal praise of her mother.
Luna found a movie for the both of them as they watched it. Throughout the film, Sunset found herself between a state of being awake yet asleep. She gazed at her mother who looked back at her with adoration.
"Aww, is someone sleepy?" Luna teased affectionately, knowing full well her daughter was tired and needed to sleep.
"N-No?" Sunset replied timidly, her cheeks blushing in denial. She was tired, but didn't want to admit it.
Luna grinned, knowing that Sunset was trying to seem that she wasn't exhausted.
"Are you sure? Or would you like me to sing to you until you fall asleep?" Luna offered warmly. The motherly educator watched Sunset's eyes droop, indicating she'd fall asleep any second.
Gently, the blue-skinned woman ran her hand through the redhead's hair as she sung a gentle tune, lulling Sunset to sleep in her arms. The bacon-haired girl nuzzled her chest sleepily as her eyes closed, drifting off to sleep within her mother's embrace.
Luna looked down at her now sleeping daughter. Smiling softly, she kissed her baby girl's forehead as Sunset smiled in her sleep. The motherly educator took a photo of the girl, saving it as a memory.
Eventually, Luna herself fell asleep as mother and daughter slept peacefully within one another's embrace.
