Little Fossils
Steven giggles to himself as he collects some rocks and some gems in his hands, shoving them in the pockets of his pants and shirt and he messily brushes off dirt from his clothes.
"Gotta bring my fossils to Mommy,"
He says to himself, standing up quickly and running towards her. Calling to her, waving, he failed to notice a rock in his way, tripping.
"Uh oh!"
"Steven!"
Mommy panics, setting (more like dropping) down her stuff and running towards him. He shakes his head as he feels someone wanting to front.
"I'm okay!" He says to himself, shaking his head as he sat up. He winces and looks to see his shins and knees scrapped. He looks at his hands to get the same result.
"Oh my gosh!"
He looks up to see Mama. He grinned, only to see her panicked.
"Mommy?"
"Are you okay?! I saw you fell, you have to be more careful! My little prince, you scrapped your legs up and bumped your head!"
She barely caressed his forehead, revealing that he indeed had a small bump. He panics at her ramblings and waves his hurt hands around frantically, trying to calm her down.
"Prince is okay, Mommy! I promise! I just got to excited! I wanted to show you the fossils I found! I didn't mean to get distracted! My head doesn't even hurt!"
He shuts his eyes, stimming, shaking his hands as he shook his head side to side. Mommy now notices the rocks poking out of his shirt, rattling as he shakes his head. She gently takes his injured hands, kissing his palms softly.
She lifts him up and puts him on her lap, rocking him. He stopped shaking his hands and head, but his eyes are still shut tight as he breathed a little harder.
Mommy kisses his small bump, then his nose, then the back of his hands, then blew air into his neck, pretending to nimble on him. He whines, turning away from her as it tickled him.
"Mommy got you excited, little prince?"
She asked softly, getting a tiny nod. She sighs, rubbing his back. His eyes eventually slowly open as his breathing returns to normal.
"I'm sorry, Mommy panicked a little huh?"
"A lot'a bit, Mommy,"
His sass makes her giggle, which causes him to giggle in response.
"Silly, prince! I was just worried!"
Steven smiles as he hugs her tightly.
"That means you love me, right Mommy?"
Mommy nods, kissing his cheek, hugging him back.
"It means I love you, little prince,"
Giggling happily, he rocks her as they hug, kicking his legs.
"Can I show you my fossils now, Mommy?"
She smiles lovingly at his stimming, nodding in agreement.
"Let's clean up and fix your owies first, okay?"
"Okay, Mommy!"
