Chapter 4

"I'm sorry I kind of came in here and took over, I'm used to correcting her and I just need to get used to you being here for her, but if you hurt her, I swear to God, you won't like me at all." I laughed shaking my head. "You won't have to worry about that at all. Trust me. But it's fine thank you for the help."

Brandy's POV

I sat there and stared at the sandwich. I knew mo- Lyla had said to eat, but all I wanted to do was just watch tv not eat this stupid sandwich. I huffed loudly and picked my sandwich up taking a small bite. It tasted pretty good, PB and J was my favorite besides dino nuggets. I heard momm- Lyla talking to Grace in the living room. I'd only been spanked by her one other time a long long time ago. My bottom hurt. I finished up my sandwich sitting uncomfortably in my chair. I didn't know if I'd ruined my chances of Lyla wanting to care for me or one day wanting to be my mommy. I didn't want to rush it, but at the same time I wanted her to be mine so badly, she was perfect, and I was afraid if I wasn't ready by the time she was she'd move on and find someone new.

I heard the front door close and footsteps came my way. I turned around meeting eyes with Lyla.

"Well aren't you a good girl, eating all your food." Lyla said with a soft smile. I blushed lightly turning back around not wanting her to notice.

"That bottom of yours must really hurt by the way you're sitting, we can put some cream on it if you'd like little one." I only blushes harder, quickly shaking my head no finishing up the last bit of my sandwich.

I got up and set my plate in the sink, before facing Lyla.

"M sorry I was bad." I said looking around the room trying to avoid eye contact. It was bad enough being spanked while she was here, I couldn't dare meet her gaze, at least not right now, it was too uncomfortable.

"Oh that's quite alright little one, but in the future when it's lunch time I'd like it if you'd cooperate, and maybe even have a treat next time." She said with a smile on her face. I grinned widely at the thought of a chocolate bar.

"Can I watch tv now? Um, may I pease watch tv now?" I asked correcting myself. I didn't want to be in trouble anymore today, being punished isn't fun at all, plus I just want to watch my cartoons.

"Well actually, I think I have something else in mind for you, why don't you go be a good girl for me and put your shoes on okay honey?" Lyla said guiding me into the living room. I nodded and grinned once again at the thought of going somewhere.

Lyla's POV

I knew Brandy was a good girl, and although I shouldn't be rewarding her behavior from earlier, I just kind of wanted to start over and do something nice for her. I watched as she ran on her tip toes to the front door and put her shoes and jacket on. Such a big girl. My big girl. I smiled and slid my tennis shoes on and my jacket grabbing my keys from the pockets. Brandy eagerly grabbed my hand and practically pulled me out of the door. I really hoped she liked where we were going.

I helped Brady into the car, making sure her seatbelt was buckled and secure before getting into my own seat and fastening my seatbelt. About twenty minutes into the drive I watched in the review mirror as the small girl nodded off, her tablet sliding from her hands into her lap and her paci falling slightly from her mouth.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Brandy, love it's time to wake up we're here!" I said trying to shake the small girl awake. Due to previous events, I made sure to use a specific tone so she wouldn't wake up grumpy. I seen her eyes open and she sat up and looked around. Her smile was almost immediate, it was wide showing all of her teeth.

"BUILD BEAR LYLA WE ATS BUILD BEAR!" she squealed loudly taking off her seatbelt.

I looked at her slightly stern, "Hey hey, now I understand you're excited, but you never touch the seatbelt do you understand me? Only mom- I can do that. You're far too little to be doing such things on your own." I scolded gently, hoping she wouldn't notice my slip up.

Her eyes began to water and her lip started quivering.

"I sorry Lyla I didn' mean too I was just 'cited to go." She said sniffling. I picked her up and closed the car door.

"I'm not upset with you love, not one bit, I just want you to be safe that's all, you're not in trouble okay? Now no tears, we don't want your new friend to meet you crying now do we?" I raised an eyebrow, the small girl sniffled and smiled softly shaking her head.

I walked inside carrying the girl on my hip, we headed into the build-a-bear and thankfully there was only three other people there. I was surprised seeing it was usually packed. I set Brandy down and held her hand as a lady walked up to us.

"Hi welcome to build-a-bear!" She greeted us kindly, "My name is Giselle and I'll be helping you today." Giselle said smiling at us both. She walked us over to the bodies of the bears.

"Now here's were we create our friend, who may I ask will be making a new friend today?" Giselle asked.

Brandy inched closer to me starting to get shy, I wanted her to be comfortable being little, so this build-a-bear was inside of an age regression mall, which was quite hard to find actually.

"It's okay baby, this little lady here wants a new friend right my love?" I said looking down at Brandy. She nodded and smiled at Giselle.

"Alrighty then sweetheart let's get that new friend yeah? What animal are you choosing today? We've got dragons, bears, and ponies." Giselle said showing Brandy the selection of animals.

"Mm a bear p'ease." She spoke so soft I could barely hear her. I could tell she was nervous so I pulled her close reassuringly.

"That's a great choice! Now what color would you like?" Giselle said bending down to Brandy's height.

"Mmm you has purple?" Her eyes beamed.

"Yes we do, how's this little guy right here?" Giselle picked up a beautiful purple and blue bear body, I saw brandy's eyes light up with excitement and I knew that shy little girl was slowly going away. She nodded and grabbed the cloth with a small 'thank you.'

"That's a great choice baby! It's so pretty but we gotta make it look even more pretty" I said holding her hand and following Giselle to the stuffing machine.

Brandy handed Giselle the cloth and watched wide eyed as the stuffing filled the body revealing all the details.

"Now," Giselle said whispering and bending down to Brandy's height, "We can add something special in this bear just for you, would you like that?" Brandy beamed and nodded quickly.

"What we puts in it?" She said curious

Giselle walked over to the little table next the stuffing machine and picked up a little heart attached to a box.

"Would you like to put your voice in it? Or maybe your mommy's heartbeat?" She said smiling.

"Uh huh!! Heawtbea'!!" Brandy squealed jumping up and down. I chuckled.

"Alright, now if it's alright with you I can give you this little microphone and it'll record your heartbeat, just take some deep breaths and it'll only go on for about ten to fifteen seconds." Giselle said handing me the contraption.

I put it up to my heart and let it record my heartbeat, I was thinking it would be soothing for Brandy to hear when I'm not over at her house and especially at night if she has nightmares.

We both watched as Giselle took the little heart and put it in the bear. She handed it to Brandy who squeezed it tightly revealing the loud heartbeat. She giggled and smiled.

"How about we go pick an outfit for your new friend?" Giselle said. I tagged along and watched as brandy picked out Mulan dress, a set of pajamas, a pair of black shorts with a white shirt that said I love build-a-bear and a jean jacket and a pair of princess shoe slippers and black tennis shoes. I seen her eyeball which one she was going to choose from.

"Hey love, it's okay, we can just get them all alright?" I said seeing the tears in her eyes thinking she could only pick one.

"But I don' wanna spend all your money." She said sniffling. I lifted her chin making her look at me.

"Today is your day, I want to treat you and that's what I'm doing, we can get them all, you're too little to be worrying about money understand?" I said gently. She nodded and wiped her eyes.

We grabbed the clothing for the bear and I paid for them up front. Brandy jumped up and down repeating thank you over and over. I smiled. I was happy I could put a smile on her face. She needed that I think.

I thought it was getting a bit later seeing it was already 2 o clock, I wanted her to get a nap in so we don't have a grumpy pants later on. The girl grabbed onto my hand and we headed out the door.
