A New World

[TEW]

Ciara's crying was beginning to feed itself, as the overwhelming emotion and tension of the past few days was affecting her. Her childlike approach was giving way to emotional exhaustion as she tried to compose herself - only to find that the more she tried, the more she slipped into her crying fit. All she wanted was the embrace with Marriko.

Of course, in an attempt to quell her crying, Marriko left for the pacifier... Which prompted a more desperate, if not a louder, crying. She was almost too the point of falling out into the floor when Marriko returned and expertly took Ciara into her arms to rock her.

The combination of the rocking, and the pacifier, caused Ciara to slowly start to dial it back a bit. Her lips quivering as she visibly tried to calm down. She liked up into Marriko's eyes, and gasped her shoulder in her little hand. When they locked eyes, Marriko would see the torrent of tears, and see the struggle within Ciara as she tried to calm down.

After several long moments, Ciara was barely sobbing as she attempted to talk around the pacifier.

"P...Prince...princess r... Room?"

Then, thinking about the value in perhaps trying to bridge the language gap, she struggled to remember something from her online Japanese lessons...

"Ójo.... Ójo no.... no heya....?"

[BabyGabrial]

"Hai hai. Akachan no heya. Akachan no heya." (Akachan means baby) She says trying to keep her composure as she rocks the girl she thanks any god that no one walked by during this. She honestly didn't like that she referred to herself as the child of a lord especially in such a poor way. She will reprimand her later when she isn't crying. This will be difficult and what makes this worse is Marriko can tell why she's  crying  it isn't to be bratty it's out of joy and pain. If she was being a brat then she could just call her husband to deal with it but how would she look if she couldn't handle a sad child. Yakuza aren't just monsters they take responsibility. She can see runors spread amongst the gaurds already they probably think she's some legitimate child or the child of someone my husband had killed. God if that were the case we really would be responsible for this kid. "Akachan stop cry for mama " she said hoping that would help

[TEW]

The tone of Marriko's condemnation was not bracing or mean, it was firm. It was controlling. It was... Maternal. As such, rather than falling into a completely hysterical breakdown, Ciara sniffed her nose pitifully and nodded. She was starting to calm down. As she was rocked, she nuzzled against Marriko and traced little patterns against her arm with her own lithe fingertips.

She would stop crying... For Mama. As she began to calm, she burrowed closer and closer to Marriko, finding both security and serenity in her arms. The nonverbal communication that she was displaying was overwhelmingly singular in nature abdl design: she felt more calm, the closer that she was to the strong and assertive Marriko.

[BabyGabrial]

Marriko sighed happy that the girl had stopped crying. She continues rocking the girl until she was for sure the girl would not starts crying again. She then figures now is as a good of a time as any to do the thing. Without looking she looked up and reached her hand under her dress and stuck her fingers in her diaper and thankfully for now found that she was dry. She had another sigh of relief. She is preparing herself to inevitably change a diaper but she is glad she has more time. She holds Ciara closer making sure she doesn't start crying again and once Marriko was satisfied she stood up helping the girl to her feet then took her to her room and layed her down. She layed with her and put her back to her chest and waits for her to fall asleep

[TEW]

It was as if they had clicked, even though it had been rocky initially. The language barrier was not nearly high or strong enough to keep Ciara from feeling the simple, nonverbal bonding that was happening between them.

For example, Marriko's checking her diaper demonstrated that Marriko was in a position of authority over her. That Ciara's flimsy notions of privacy were irrelevant, if Marriko decided it was time to check her diaper.

Ciara wrapped herself in this knowledge like a warm blanket, feeling instantly safe, loved, and protected. Marriko's continued rocking only served to cement these feelings.

And then they were moving together, back to Mama and Daddy's room. Ciara knew she was dry, so she wasn't sure why they were going so suddenly; however when she realized what was going on, she felt happier than if she had received a basket full of toys.

Co-Sleeping! 

Ciara worked like a snake, getting as close to Marriko as humanly possible... even to the point of being comically close as, to her surprise - she yawned loudly. Her eyelids suddenly becoming overly heavy as Marriko would feel the girls body tensea little, and then completely relax in her arms. Her breathing was deep, and slow.

[BabyGabrial]

Marriko just layed there for a bit because she knows this girl was not going to sleep by herself. She rubbed her back a little and lat the girl snuggle up close to her. She admitted that this did feel good, but she had work to do. She needs to get ready for tonight. She waited for her to go to sleep and slowly slipped out. When the girl starts whining Marriko started rubbing her chest to let her feel like she was there and slips away to get some work done for a few hours. She checks the budgets for her clubs and gets inventory reports. She gets an idea of what she needs to have her workers get before opening up then of course making sure the girls have their dresses and make up. There's no way around it. She has to make trips to the clubs. She sighs and goes and finds an outfit for herself  to go out then she thinks of a little dilemma that is sleeping in her bed. She goes and looks at her then sighs. She'll have to come as well .

[TEW]

The foundations of an incredibly strong bond between them was being laid; at least, in Ciara's heart and mind. So much so, in fact, that as the lithe Marriko made every attempt to gingerly leave the bed, Ciara whimpered like a puppy. The reassuring rub, however, brought a sleepy smile to her face as she drifted back off into her own fantasy land of vibrant colors and fanciful adventures.

She slept soundly for roughly an hour. Her small frame taking its second opportunity to actually rest - something she hadn't seen much of in her lifetime. She slept so soundly, so peacefully, that she didn't realize as her bladder released and flooded the diaper.

The new warmth bringing her a sense of security and pleasant relaxation as she barely stirred. The feeling was comforting to her, as the diaper leaked only a little, staining her new dress.

She slowly turned until she was laying on her stomach, her diapered bottom sticking straight up in the air as her thumb found its was into her mouth.

[BabyGabrial]

Marriko goes to her cook and has them warm up a bottle so she can make sure there's no crying when Ciara wakes up. Not to mention  she needs her to be able to have something to eat for when it is time for them to leave. She doesn't know what else to exactly feed her. Does she give the girl baby food, does she give her adult food? It's a weird situation that she is still trying to get used to. Of course she also has needs to call her husband and let him know that she needs to leave in a while. Between that and questions about Ciara she decides to go ahead and dial him up. Kotei meanwhile is just making it to Okami Family Headquarters which is a decent multi story building that he is able to observe some of his businesses from. He finished talking to Marriko's father and out of respect he agreed to give Ciara 24/7 security which puts Kotei at ease a little bit now he needs to settle the beef he has with this upstart family that wants to try and take his turf before they try to make things violent.

[TEW]

She slept peacefully, barely moving - and then only at the utmost end of need. The bed was warm and comfortable. The room was welcoming, and enveloped her in its magic. The diaper around her waist was reassuring and validating for her.

Her little eyelashes flitted rapidly as she entered REM. Meanwhile, the diaperwas continuing to leak on her dress. It hadn't gotten on the bed yet, but it soon would as her subconscious began to accept that she might truly be the little Ciara-chan of such an amazing couple.

She had dreamed of this trip for months. Dreamed of seeing Japan, and trying new foods, and experiencing a new culture... All under the protection and with the guidance of, Daddy. But now she began to fantasize and dream about trips out with Mama. Having fun and laughing together. Her little heart swelled at the idea.

Slowly, she was beginning to wake from her nap, as she extended her legs and laid on her stomach, trying to recapture the sleep that was absconding with her beautiful fantasy world much more quickly than she was comfortable with.

[BabyGabrial]

Kotie gets a phone call from his wife and he lets her know not to leave until the protection her father sent arrived. He also let her know that she should pack things for Ciara-chan for when they go out. He tells her to have bottles ready to be heated for her, diapers of course and a spare change of clothes as well in case she leaks. He tells her it's ok to let her have regular food for now if they can't find anything but if she can have Ciara eat soft foods. As well as feed it to her. Finally he tells her to get the girl a toy while they are out to entertain herself with and since she will more than likely need to be put to sleep before he comes to pick her up have a place for her to rest in the back. Marriko was writing all of this parenting advice down making sure she has everything. Once they had gotten all of that cleared and exchanged goodbyes they hung up and Marriko went to get everything together. That plus getting her dress and makup on took an hour or so then she needed to go check on Ciara-chan. She goes in the room and sees the girl is awake. She doesn't even say anything she just pulls the covers back and sees she wet her new clothes that she just bought her. She showed strips her down to just the cloth diaper and slowly changes her as best she can. She does a fine job it just took a very long time. But from the look Ciara has as Marriko sees her smiling and sucking her thumb she doesn't seem to mind. Marriko dresses her in a little dress that's like a child going to a wedding it's poofy and semi formal. 

[TEW]

Ciara was like the stereotypical kid at Christmas, now fully awake and being seen to by Marriko. She smiled broadly and reached over, collecting Norman who, because of his first day away of liberation from the airport prison complex, had been sleeping in mama's bed since the night before.

She hugged him tightly to get chest, as everyone knows that's the only way to fully wake up narwhals, with the same arm that had the thumb she was currently sucking. 

The diaper change was absolute heaven for Ciara. Mainly due to the visible effort being given by Marriko. Normally, she would've felt shame at the severity of the accident. However, Marriko seemed to see her as an actual baby - which made her feel like her accident was not only "ok", it was completely and fully expected.

After her change She squeaked up, saying "thank you Mama" with a deeply genuine tone and feel, before standing so she could be dressed in the beautiful frock. 

It was an amazing dress, that made Ciara feel like the center of attention. As it feel down around her calves, she giggled and did a turn for Marriko.

"Pretty?" She asked, nervously.

[BabyGabrial]

"You welcome Akachan" Marriko had replied to her after the change before she dressed her she had looked to Marriko seemingly wanting a compliment or agreement about the dress so Marriko just nodded her head and gave her a pat on the head. She then cleared her throat and thought of how to say this in a way the girl would understand "we....go....to mama job. Ciara-chan......hold hand. When out......Ciara-chan no run off or Ciara-chan get hurt. Understand?" She said with absolute butchery of the English language she wasn't even sure if she used the right words with the message she was trying to convey she sighs she'll have to pick up an English dictionary or probably some of her old English text books from when she was in school. This may be more difficult than expected. Her husband better pay her back for this.

[TEW]

Ciara's response was sudden, and no doubt, startling. But hearing that they were going out together made her suddenly jump up and down and squeal with delight.

But when Mama started talking again, Ciara calmed down as best she could. The efforts that Marriko was giving were touching her heart. She listened closely, and understood exactly what mama was trying to say.

"Hai, Mama" she said, obediently nodding. She then reached over with the hand not currently engaged with Norman, and grasped mama's hand sweetly. She wanted to meet Marriko halfway, or better if she could manage. 

The truth was, that bonding with Marriko was helping some of her basic Japanese lessons come back to her.

"Watashi... Wa Yoi On'nanoko... ni Narudarou"... She said, blushing deeply as she immediately wondered if she had said something incorrectly.

 

[BabyGabrial]

That actually made Marriko smile a little she had said that so slow and so unsure that it was like listening to the baby say her first words she pat her head as a reward "Yoi akachan" she told her. As she led her out of the master bedroom and went to the kitchen ans set down and held her as a warm bottle was brought with a bib. Marriko tied the bib around Ciara's neck and put the bottle to her lips and she felt the girl take it immediately and start suckling it down. "Ciara-chan slow down or choke" she warned the girl before saying something in Japanese that probably shouldn't be repeated as she took the bottle away and when the girl looked at her with pleading eyes she slowly put it back in her mouth

[BabyGabrial]

(So due to TEW going AWOL some changes are made. I will be playing  Ciara and Marxthebaby will be playing Kotei and Mariko.)

[marxthebaby]

Mariko smiled at her baby girl; her Japanese wasn't perfect, but it was good enough for someone so young. The words were slow and unsure, so childlike and sweet that they made her want to chuckle, but she simply grinned. "Ciara-chan talk well. New language is hard, yes?" Her English was broken, but anyone could get the gist of it. She led the girl by her hand, letting her drink the bottle as they walked outside. "Be good." She told her, though she had no doubt Ciara would behave.

[BabyGabrial]

"Hai mama-san" Ciara told Mariko as they walked out. Ciara was scared. Very scared. The bottle brought her a little comfort and mama-san helps a lot. If only she had Norman with her though that would really help. It's snowing here in Sapporo it's really cold but they quickly get into a car. Ciara gets strapped into the back seat she of course does not have a car seat yet. She nervously suckles on her bottle and the more she drinks the more her nerves calm down.

[marxthebaby]

Mariko knew the little girl probably missed her toy, but she didn't have time to get it now. Besides, there was no point; it was just a stuffed toy. With that, she drive them both to her job, to a hostess club where she usually worked. "Ciara-chan be good. Okay?" She said this a touch coldly, not really trusting the foreign girl to behave herself just yet. Yes, the girl supposedly made her husband happy, but sometimes she couldn't really understand what went through this foreign child's head. It made her coldness creep up more, made her put up walls to keep the little girl out.

[marxthebaby]

(Got it)

[BabyGabrial]

Ciara sat in the back hoping to make mama-san happy with her. She is happy that mama-san is taking care of her but she is still pretty scared that mama-san won't like her. She also needs to keep her promise to daddy and stay a good girl so he will get her a toy. As the drove through the winter wonderland that is Sapporo she looked around and could see many things she did not see in her own town that just amazes her.

[marxthebaby]

Once they reached the hostess club, Mariko parked the car and got out of it without a hitch, opening the back door so Ciara could come out, too. "Otosan would be upset if Ciara-chan gets sick." She told her carefully, unbuckling her seatbelt and picking her up. "It too cold in car; can't leave Ciara-chan here alone." She'd been hoping the weather would let up so she could leave the girl in the car, but that didn't happen. With that, Mariko steeled herself and entered the hostess club, sighing when a group of bubbly new workers greeted her.

[BabyGabrial]

Ciara nodded and raised her arms to mama-san and lets her carry her in still wearing the bib which she got a little milk on when she was drinking her bottke. When they get inside she is absolutely terrified as a bunch of women surround her speaking Japanese all. They are talking too advanced for her to understand them so she just nervously bows to them and clings to mama-san wanting her warmth and protection

Mariko wanted to tell this girl to toughen up, but reminded herself she was just a little baby; being too harsh with her could make her cry, and the little girl looked scared. "Give room." She told the women, her voice cold and her gaze betraying no emotion. Without fail, each of the women stepped away and some even twittered amongst themselves until Mariko shot them annoyed glances. "Do jobs, yes? We busy today, busy always; busy mean work to do. You are new, does not mean you can be lazy." They all had better things to do than stand around; they greeted their clients the same way, but still, just standing about after she gave an order was a good way to get fired. Sighing, she took Ciara to her 'office'-truly, it was a room with a table and chairs-and sat her down nearby, holding her steady so she could sit in a chair. Wasn't that what mothers did? She wasn't entirely sure if she was doing this correctly. It felt strange, sitting here with this infantile 'daughter'. Mariko didn't really know how to feel, she just...didn't.

[BabyGabrial]

Ciara sat down while the girls practiced talking to clients before it was time to open. She looked up as she saw mama hand someone what looked like some kind of list. With the most basic level of knaji she learned before coming here she can see some drinks on the list so she can guess that mama is giving someone a shopping a shopping list to stock up on things. She sat there kicking her feet like a good girl and leaned on mama-san she looked around scared she kept thinking everyone was looking at her but nobody was Mariko was working and the girls were either practicing,getting dressed , or just talking.
