@RebelliousMcma A few hours passed by and Tess remained beside Anna, cradling little Ellie in her arms.

“Monkey, no waking up mama. She’s had a long day.”

Ellie seemed to really want Anna to hold her.

[𝓣𝓱𝓮𝓻𝓮𝓼𝓪 “𝓣𝓮𝓼𝓼” 𝓢𝓮𝓻𝓿𝓸𝓹𝓸𝓾𝓵𝓸𝓼 @BostonsLastStop]

After a long day at work, Tess knew that @RebelliousMcma could use some extra company.

After giving Ellie a bath and putting her to bed, Tess laid down next to Anna, wrapping an arm around her from behind.

She whispered softly, “No questions… Just sleep.”

[𝓣𝓱𝓮𝓻𝓮𝓼𝓪 “𝓣𝓮𝓼𝓼” 𝓢𝓮𝓻𝓿𝓸𝓹𝓸𝓾𝓵𝓸𝓼 @BostonsLastStop]

Tess headed into the house after a long night at patrol, immediately seeing Ellie climbing all over @RebelliousMcma like a jungle gym.

She giggled softly, “Monkey, are you climbing all over mama? Shouldn’t you be sleeping?”

Ellie giggled softly, shaking her head.

[𝓣𝓱𝓮𝓻𝓮𝓼𝓪 “𝓣𝓮𝓼𝓼” 𝓢𝓮𝓻𝓿𝓸𝓹𝓸𝓾𝓵𝓸𝓼 @BostonsLastStop]

“Of course, kiddo! Stay behind me.”

@RebelliousMcma “Hey, monkey, can i help you take a bath or do you want mama to do it?”

Ellie immediately gave Anna the puppy dog eyes, eagerly hugging her arm.

[𝓣𝓱𝓮𝓻𝓮𝓼𝓪 “𝓣𝓮𝓼𝓼” 𝓢𝓮𝓻𝓿𝓸𝓹𝓸𝓾𝓵𝓸𝓼 @BostonsLastStop]

After little Ellie had woken up with a horrid case of strep throat, Tess carried her into @RebelliousMcma’s bedroom.

She sat beside Anna on the bed, lightly running her fingers through Anna’s hair to wake her up.

Silent sobbing could be heard, “Anna, your baby is sick…”

[𝓣𝓱𝓮𝓻𝓮𝓼𝓪 “𝓣𝓮𝓼𝓼” 𝓢𝓮𝓻𝓿𝓸𝓹𝓸𝓾𝓵𝓸𝓼 @BostonsLastStop]

@RebelliousMcma “I think the little monkey has an ear infection.”

Tess frowned, “But I don’t know how to treat those. Poor girl…”

Ellie sniffled, starting to cry softly.

[𝓣𝓱𝓮𝓻𝓮𝓼𝓪 “𝓣𝓮𝓼𝓼” 𝓢𝓮𝓻𝓿𝓸𝓹𝓸𝓾𝓵𝓸𝓼 @BostonsLastStop]

@RebelliousMcma “My ears hurt, mommy!”

Ellie whimpered, eagerly burying her face into the side of Anna’s neck.

[𝓣𝓱𝓮𝓻𝓮𝓼𝓪 “𝓣𝓮𝓼𝓼” 𝓢𝓮𝓻𝓿𝓸𝓹𝓸𝓾𝓵𝓸𝓼 @BostonsLastStop]

@RebelliousMcma Riley started to put weight on her leg to avoid asking Anna to carry her.

She sighed softly, holding onto Anna’s arm while she walked.

“I can’t go much farther without falling.”

[𝓣𝓱𝓮𝓻𝓮𝓼𝓪 “𝓣𝓮𝓼𝓼” 𝓢𝓮𝓻𝓿𝓸𝓹𝓸𝓾𝓵𝓸𝓼 @BostonsLastStop]

Tess laid next to @RebelliousMcma, holding little Ellie after waking up to change her clothes because Ellie had gotten sick.

Tess smiled, “Hey, little one, don’t worry. Your moms here next to us.”

Ellie sniffled, burying her head into the side of Anna’s neck.

[𝓣𝓱𝓮𝓻𝓮𝓼𝓪 “𝓣𝓮𝓼𝓼” 𝓢𝓮𝓻𝓿𝓸𝓹𝓸𝓾𝓵𝓸𝓼 @BostonsLastStop]

@RebelliousMcma “No, I slipped!”

Riley put her hands up defensively, rolling her pant legs up to prove she wasn’t infected.

“I’m not infected, please don’t shoot me!”

[𝓣𝓱𝓮𝓻𝓮𝓼𝓪 “𝓣𝓮𝓼𝓼” 𝓢𝓮𝓻𝓿𝓸𝓹𝓸𝓾𝓵𝓸𝓼 @BostonsLastStop]

@RebelliousMcma Riley sat a few feet away from Anna’s house, a bleeding cut on her knee from falling but luckily no bites.

She was crying softly because she was scared.

[𝓣𝓱𝓮𝓻𝓮𝓼𝓪 “𝓣𝓮𝓼𝓼” 𝓢𝓮𝓻𝓿𝓸𝓹𝓸𝓾𝓵𝓸𝓼 @BostonsLastStop]

@RebelliousMcma “Okay. Please be careful and bring Riley home safe.”

Tess gave Anna a kiss, “I’ll keep the doors locked until you get here.”

[𝓣𝓱𝓮𝓻𝓮𝓼𝓪 “𝓣𝓮𝓼𝓼” 𝓢𝓮𝓻𝓿𝓸𝓹𝓸𝓾𝓵𝓸𝓼 @BostonsLastStop]

@RebelliousMcma “I don’t know, but I see your house not too far away!”

Riley could be heard reloading her pistol and aiming it towards the clicker. She pulled the trigger, which could be heard nearby.

[𝓣𝓱𝓮𝓻𝓮𝓼𝓪 “𝓣𝓮𝓼𝓼” 𝓢𝓮𝓻𝓿𝓸𝓹𝓸𝓾𝓵𝓸𝓼 @BostonsLastStop]

@RebelliousMcma “My mom kicked me out! I told her I wanted to go visit you and Ellie and she kicked me out! There’s a clicker out here and I’m scared, Anna!”

Riley was only 5 years old, but she was so independent.

“Anna, if I die, I’m so sorry…”

[𝓣𝓱𝓮𝓻𝓮𝓼𝓪 “𝓣𝓮𝓼𝓼” 𝓢𝓮𝓻𝓿𝓸𝓹𝓸𝓾𝓵𝓸𝓼 @BostonsLastStop]

@RebelliousMcma “I mean, you could, but you might as well just eat me out.”

Tess smirked, smiling when Ellie gave her a hug.

“Sorry, Tess. I didn’t mean to kick you!”

Tess smiled, receiving an abrupt call on Anna’s walkie-talkie.

The voice that followed was little Riley, “Anna?!”

[𝓣𝓱𝓮𝓻𝓮𝓼𝓪 “𝓣𝓮𝓼𝓼” 𝓢𝓮𝓻𝓿𝓸𝓹𝓸𝓾𝓵𝓸𝓼 @BostonsLastStop]

@RebelliousMcma “Silly kiddo!”

Tess smiled, continuing to tickle Ellie until she accidentally kicked Tess in the crotch.

“Ow! Holy…”

She bit her lip to avoid swearing, covering it up with a smile.

“It’s okay, kiddo…”

[𝓣𝓱𝓮𝓻𝓮𝓼𝓪 “𝓣𝓮𝓼𝓼” 𝓢𝓮𝓻𝓿𝓸𝓹𝓸𝓾𝓵𝓸𝓼 @BostonsLastStop]

@RebelliousMcma “Uh oh… Better watch out, Ellie. The tickle monster might get you!”

Ellie tried to stand up, but Tess started tickling her before she could stand up.

“Hahaha, I got you!”

[𝓣𝓱𝓮𝓻𝓮𝓼𝓪 “𝓣𝓮𝓼𝓼” 𝓢𝓮𝓻𝓿𝓸𝓹𝓸𝓾𝓵𝓸𝓼 @BostonsLastStop]

@RebelliousMcma Tess smiled, placing a dinosaur blanket over Ellie’s shoulders.

Ellie’s fingers wrapped around Anna’s finger, causing Tess to laugh.

“Oh my god, she’s the sweetest…”

[𝓣𝓱𝓮𝓻𝓮𝓼𝓪 “𝓣𝓮𝓼𝓼” 𝓢𝓮𝓻𝓿𝓸𝓹𝓸𝓾𝓵𝓸𝓼 @BostonsLastStop]

@RebelliousMcma “She puked on me this morning, but I wasn’t mad. She just doesn’t feel good…”

Tess leaned forward to kiss Anna’s cheek, rubbing Ellie’s back.

“She’s definitely your little girl. It’s so cute…”
