Why does he fight with everyone?

*shrugs* Don't know.

*frowns*

It's gonna be ok.

Okay.

You wanna come watch Nemo with me?

Alright.

Want some popcorn too?

Yeah. We can have a slumber party in the family room.

*nods* Yeah.

*smiles*

*smiles back at her*

*hugs him*

*hugs her back gently*

*hugs Annika tightly*

It's my fault, isn't it?

No, little love, if it's anyone's fault right now, it's mine. *kisses her forehead* I'm so sorry.

Why is it your fault? He fought with... *frowns at the realization of what she's saying* my other mommies.

Things are just stressful now, honey, because of things that have been happening with me, they will get better *I hope* soon.

*nods*

Why don't we do something to distract you?

Like what?

Well, you and I don't get to do things just the two of us very often, is there anything you'd like to do?

Um... will you do my hair pretty?

*smiles* With little rhinestones?

*smiles back* Yes, please.

Let's see what I've got?

*nods*

*leads her to the bathroom where there are all kinds hair brushes and barrettes* Pick something out, alright?

Okie dokie. *looks through them all and picks out a barrette shaped like a butterfly* I like this one, Mama.

It's very pretty. Shall I see if I can do it and your hair justice?

Mhm.

*starts by gently brushing out her hair until it shines, tangle free, and soft as silk using old fashioned brushes*

*sitting happily, completely distracted*

*slowly and contentedly begins a complicated braid*
