Alyssa was a fast paced woman, and so was her little Alex, but taking some time to slow down and have a lazy weekend was one of her favorite things.
Today was a Sunday, and other than her daughter's soccer game yesterday, they had a lowkey weekend. Alex was a competative twelve year old, and after her soccer team had narrowly lost, she had been a bit grumpy. Mostly she had just been a little sulky and kept to herself because she knows how she gets when competition goes poorly and she had a 0-0 record of not getting herself in trouble after a bad game. She was the kind of little who internalized everything, and that usually led her face down and bottom up over her Mommy's lap on their couch.
Alyssa knew what Alex was doing, she could read her daughter better than her daughter could read herself. She knew that Alex had some pent up feelings. She had almost spanked Alex at dinner last night when the girl said very little but just sort of sulked. It was the beginnings of what Alyssa called Alex's "needs a good spanking 'tude," but if she called it out too early Alex would argue that she did not do anything wrong, and protest the spanking she most definitely needed. It was better for it to happen organically, so Alyssa decided she would give her daughter just enough leeway to get herself in trouble.
Alex hated waking up in the mornings, and she was trying to be less grouchy in the mornings, for her poor bottom's sake. Alyssa had learned early on not to take any morning whining from her girl, and at least once a week Alex managed to start the day with a sore bottom. Suppressing her morning grumpies definitely did not help her mess of unprocessed feelings, but she pushed it down. She made it through breakfast and Alyssa let her watch morning cartoons before finishing her homework and chores.
"Sorry Alexandra, you can laze after we get things done. You have a packet to finish for this week's lesson, it does not look very long, it will probably only take you a half hour. And then I just need you to clean your room. I want to see more of your floor space little girl"
Alex balled up her fists and took a huffy breath, which got a stern look from Alyssa.
"Do you want to try that again Alexandra?"
Alex sighed, trying to look a little less irritated.
"Yes Mommy. I will do my homework and clean my room. Sorry I guess."
"That's better. Hop to it, it won't be nearly as bad as it is in your head and you can have some cookies while you work, I made your favorite"
Alex smiled at that and went to sit at the kitchen island, digging into the plate of warm cookies as she worked, rolling her eyes when Alyssa was not in view. She knew her Mommy was probably thinking she could use a spanking, and was eager not to push it. She could basically hear the lecture in her head 'you have been grumpy since your game, Alexandra, and internalizing your feelings always gets you in trouble, and blah blah blah.'
Alex had once proudly argued back to her Mommy that it was breaking the Geneva Convention to inflict a punishment based on a feeling and not an infraction, which got a good laugh as Alyssa reminded her that having an attitude was not doing nothing, it was a tell. And of course the passionate debate from Alex did not prevent her from the spanking her Mommy was sure she needed, and of course Alyssa was right. When she was broody and short, it told her Mommy that Alex had a bunch of pent up feelings that needed to come out and the most effective way to get those feelings out was by taking her little girl over her lap and turning her little bare bottom a deep red until she could let go of all of those walls and work through her feelings. Alex hated to admit that Alyssa was right, but her record of getting through big heavy feelings without getting spanked was probably zero.
Alex finished the packet and mumbled "i finished my homework," working really hard to leave the word damn out of there. Alyssa gave her another pointed look, and quickly checked the answers.
"Okay this looks good, I will put it in your folder. Now your room. I want your sheets changed, and your dirty laundry in a basket ready to go, your clean laundry folded and hung, and your gear in its bag ready for practice this week. And when that is done I want you to come to my room, we need to have a little talk."
Alex's stomach dropped a little bit at having a talk, and she felt defensive.
"What do you mean a little talk? I have done everything you asked me to! There is no reason I should be in trouble!"
Alyssa gave her the kind of raised eyebrow mom glare that sent ripples down her spine.
"Alexandra Claire Douglas when did I say you were in trouble? I said we needed to talk because you have clearly got some feelings going on and I know you always have a lot of pent up feelings about losing a game, and yesterday you avoided me as much as you could. Trying to avoid the inevitable spanking you very clearly need, hm?"
Alex stood taller than her mom sat in her wheelchair, as an incomplete paraplegic from a support beam falling on her back as a firefighter, Alyssa could no longer bear weight on her legs without assistance, so she got around using a lightweight active wheelchair. She was athletic and used it to her advantage, she always had an open lap after all. When Alex first met her, she did not think she could be intimidated by someone who had to look up to meet her gaze, but Alyssa had never met a little who did not find her intimidating. Quite a few of the town's adults found her to have a strong presence as well. All it took was a stern look from her Mommy to make Alex's knees feel like jelly, and any kid she busted as a Kindhaven Discipline Department officer could commiserate. Officer Douglas was feared amongst the town's biggest troublemakers, particularly the ones whose limits allowed any town adult to spank them. The call out made Alex all flustered.
"No thats not! I'm sorry Mommy you just scared me! You know having a talk has a double meaning in this town and this home! I will clean my room and not complain and I'm not even doing anything bad!"
Alex ran to her room and closed the door carefully, ignoring her urge to slam the door and fighting hard the feeling of wanting to scream into her pillow. Alyssa was always on her about cleaning her room. She liked having this space that was just hers, though she rarely slept here; often she fell asleep curled up in Mommy's bed. As much as right now she was avoiding her Mommy to try to avoid trouble, there was nothing she loved more than being held in Alyssa's warm and loving arms.
After doing everything she was supposed to, Alex was stalling a little bit. Alyssa could hear that the commotion had ended, and she figured Alex was delaying the inevitable. She came over to her daughter's room and poked her head in.
"Wow, this all looks so much better baby. I can actually move around in here without running over a cleat or yesterday's shirt."
Alex looked away and shrugged.
"I guess"
"Come on baby, lets go talk. Come sit with me, okay?"
"Whatever"
Alex sulked, following Alyssa to the little couch in her Mommy's bedroom. This was the couch where they always sat and talked, and also where she got spanked. Alyssa had always made sure that Alex knew she was very loved, and the amount of time Alex spent cuddled in her Mommy's lap on this couch was at least as long if not longer than the time she spent here turned over her Mommy's lap.
Alyssa sat down and held her arms out for Alex, who sulked next to her just too far to reach. Alyssa gave her a raised eyebrow.
"I see my tween's got the grumpies"
Alex shrugged.
"People dont gotta be happy all the time you know"
"Yes, but your attitude is more than just feeling down. Ever since your team lost the game yesterday you have had something building. Yesterday I barely saw you afterwards. I think we both know why but I want you to tell me why?"
Alex felt her face getting hot and tried not to get all worked up.
"Is it a crime to want to have some alone time?"
"No, but suppressing how you feel is not good for you, and I know you weren't working out your feelings, but just pushing them down. I know that because all day today you have been walking around with that needs a good spanking 'tude."
Alex glared back and crossed her arms, feeling called out because...well okay she would never admit that but her Mommy was not wrong. She felt all kinds of disregulated and she hated it, and she hated that she knew there was only one cure.
"Thats not! It's just! No fair! I do not have an attitude and I do not need a spanking!"
Alyssa smirked and shook her head.
"You know baby, if you had not worked so hard to fight it, we could have decompressed yesterday and maybe it would have been okay, or at least it probably would not have been as big of a spanking. Now I have to get through a whole weekend of my stubborn girlie."
"Mommy!" Alex whined and kicked her leg, sulking down in her seat, feeling like none of this was fair.
"I know you have been distressed my love, don't you want to let those feelings go and feel better moving forward? As much as you don't think you want it, you are going to feel better after getting spanked. You always do."
Alex hugged her arms tighter into herself.
"I do not!"
Alyssa turned more serious, raising an eyebrow and staring her daughter down.
"You have two choices my Alexandra, you can come get a little snuggle first, and sit with me for a moment because I know you have feelings you are trying to push down, or you can keep up this stubborn act and you can go get the leather slipper from my chair. They are brand new, we just got them in at work and so we all took one home to test. I am sure the department will appreciate your review"
Alex rolled her eyes and crossed her arms tighter.
"Literally neither sounds good to me!"
Alyssa gave her a stern look with that, not letting her girl play games.
" Well you have proven me very right little girl, that is an attitude that very much needs a good spanking. Now you can drop the sass or you can do this the hard way"
Alex had a stubborn streak that always made things worse for her, and this was no exception.
"Hmmm don't think I wanna, because I don't need a spanking!"
Alex and Alyssa were quite the strong and sporty family, and Alyssa worked very hard to make sure she could not only keep up with but sometimes outpace her feisty twelve year old.
Before the girl knew it, Alyssa had reached over to pull her daughter over her lap, and was quickly swatting Alex's bottom over her pajama pants with her hand.
"Hey!"
"You had a chance to listen, Alexandra, and you chose not to, now you can do this the hard way"
Alex tried to wiggle away, but Alyssa had her pinned. In one quick motion, Alex's pants and panties were lowered and her bare bottom was meeting her Mommy's palm, without a moment to spare between.
"Mommy! Stop it! I don't need this!"
Alyssa was unmoved by her daughter's protest, and continued to smack her daughter's bottom with her firm hand.
"Oh at this point baby girl, we are way past need, you have earned this. Now the question is are you going to listen or keep fighting me?"
Alyssa went to spank her daughter's sit spots and upper thighs, eliciting another "hey!" From her daughter. Alex did not answer her question and Alyssa took that and a reason to continue.
"You can't keep fighting this baby love. It won't make you feel better. You have been suffering all weekend long when you could have felt better yesterday"
"Yes I can!"
"Nope, I am not letting you do that. But you are going to bring me your hairbrush Alexandra."
"Wait-you said the new stupid leather slipper thing!"
"I did. And now that comes after the hairbrush"
"Mommy! That isn't fair"
"Well it would have been a lot less awful for you if you listened the first time wouldn't it?"
Alyssa once again went after her sit spots with her hand, and Alex kicked her legs before Alyssa let her up.
"Hairbrush. Now"
"Fine! I will get the stupid brush"
Alex huffs over to her Mommy's chair and gets the hairbrush, and hands it over with a scowl before being whisked over Alyssa's lap once again. Alyssa wasted no time in peppering her daughter's bottom with the unforgiving brush. The brush was a constant in Alex's life, though it was often augmented with something extra if Alyssa felt she needed something more severe, like the new leather slipper she would soon meet. Her Mommy had never once just spanked her cheeks, if Alex was in trouble, she was going to be sore down through her upper thighs. Alyssa never missed an inch.
Once Alex's bottom has been properly reddened, the stubborn girl was still working hard to hold it together. She was mad, and she was working very hard not to show her Mommy she was feeling it.
"Put the brush away and bring me the slipper Alexandra."
Alex let out a huff and exchanged the brush for the slipper, rolling her eyes with a sniffle.
"You are making this so much harder for yourself little girl. Pushing down your feelings isnt making it better. Back over my lap."
Alex scowls and lays back over, refusing to say anything. Alyssa smirks, her stubborn girl always tried, but when it came down to it, she always knew exactly how to get past the stubborn front. Her daughter needed a good cry and she would get it. The only way through was a slow burn, she would have to be so sore she could not help but cry it out.
Alyssa quickly layered each stingy slap of the leather slipper, quickly causing little yelps to escape her daughter's lips.
"This thing is evil Mommy!"
Alyssa could not help but let out a little smirk laugh.
"Good, I will make sure all of our officers have one"
"NOT WHAT I MEANT!"
Alex kicked her legs and Alyssa took the slipper to her sit spots and upper thighs
"Mommy noooo, stop! it hurts too much"
"It is supposed to hurt Alexandra, you need to stop fighting me here. I know you are having a lot of feelings you do not want to deal with but when you push it down it just bubbles up"
Alex whined and tried not to cry, but the burning pain building up was not letting her escape.
"I don't want to! Mommy stop it! Why can't you just leave me alone!"
Alyssa makes sure to land a few really good stinging slaps right after another on her little's sit spots, admiring the control and intensity of the slipper, it had the perfect balance of flexibility and stiffness to deliver a stingy slap with a good weight.
"I am never going to just leave you alone to struggle my baby. Your little attitude, the reason it tells me you need a good spanking is because you are struggling and you cannot process through your feelings on your own, so thats when you need a little help. And sometimes a little help comes in the form of a nice red bottom."
As much as she hated to admit it, this was exactly the time and place where Alex felt the most loved, and although that was a bit of a conflicting feeling sometimes, she knew that her Mommy was right. She had been a mess of emotions, and when something bothered her, she struggled to let it go. It was just a game but she was frustrated with herself for not doing better, and she did not know how to let that go. Here, over Mommy's lap, with a building burn in her bottom, she had no choice but to let the feelings in with one more little protest before caving.
"Mommy noooo"
Her last attempt to stop herself from crying was failing
"Yes baby, if you had just let yourself feel things after the game and come to me, maybe we could have talked it through but you made the choice to bottle it up until you were lashing out and now you have earned yourself one very sore little bottom"
Alyssa slowed her smacks a bit, still keeping up the intensity. Alex kicked her legs a little bit and slowly gave up the control she had, and let her tears flow. Alyssa continued after Alex finally let go, letting her daughter fall fully into that space. She set down the slipper and pulled Alex up into her arms, cradling her tight, and Alex quickly clung to her Mommy's embrace and let herself be enveloped in Alyssa's deep love for her.
"There we go. I know that one was very hard, my stubborn little girl really put up a fight"
Alex nodded and burried her head into Alyssa's shoulder.
"I'm sorry Mommy"
Alyssa rocked her girl gently.
"I am not mad at you baby girl. But you did this one the hard way hm? Avoiding this all weekend just made things harder for you"
"I dunno why I do that all the time. It's so dumb"
"Oh love it is not dumb, it is just stubborn. But that quality is not always a bad thing. It just makes you feel things really big, but it also makes you the bold and brave girl I love so much. And quite frankly it is just a family trait at this point."
Alex laughed and burried her head into her Mommy's shoulder.
"Yeah. And yet I am the only one spanked for it!"
Alyssa laughed and kissed the top of her daughter's head.
"Well love, you can join our station captain in thinking that someone should spank me, he jokes that all of the officers deserve a good spanking too. I do love to remind him that I can't feel my bottom so that would be a pretty pointless task hm?"
Alex laughed and kissed Alyssa's cheek.
"You're so funny, and you always know how to make me feel better."
"I love you baby. And I will listen to your stress and spank your naughty little bottom when you need it for the rest of time"
Alex jokingly rolled her eyes and cuddled into Alyssa's warm embrace, feeling like the luckiest stubborn girl who ever lived.
