[paramountinplace]

Zoo Day - Little!Nat

Summary: Nat struggles seeing a parent argue with their child while out in public. Works in mild conjunction with Stick to the DVDs. This was inspired by yjdrabbles123 talking about Van struggling with seeing drunk people out in public! I think I must've seen something similar about Nat somewhere, but I can't remember where. Regardless, this wasn't my original idea, so credits to whoever's it was!

Lottie has, admittedly, been a little worried about their zoo outing. Knowing how excited Jackie has been about the trip kept her from saying anything, but it doesn't keep her from organizing a buddy system in the car and instructing everyone to follow it under the threat of no ice cream later. She pairs herself with Nat without hesitation, despite how well she and Gen have been getting along lately. She just can't quite shake the feeling that something will go wrong.

For most of the day, though, everything goes smoothly. Jackie gets stuck on the penguin exhibit, pleading with Shauna to just stay here a little longer? Everyone else is agreeable enough about it, and Laura Lee even offers to accompany anyone who wants to go over to the reptile hut a few stops back.

They get to see a show about birds of prey, which spooks Gen a little, but she perks up when the trainer offers to let people come up and touch the bird resting on his wrist. She won't go up, even when Lottie offers to go with her, but she gets a kick out of watching Mel run a few careful fingers over the bird's head with a small smile.

Nat takes it all in quietly, cracking a few jokes in Lottie's direction when she spots a goofy looking animal. She sticks close to Lottie's side throughout the day, hooking their pinkies together as they walk and leaning against her as they stand in line. Lottie thinks she must be tired, because a tired Nat is a clingy Nat, but she doesn't seem to be affected by anything in particular, so Lottie lets it slide.

For lunch, they end up crowded around the one wooden table that Shauna was able to score as another family got up to leave. Lottie and Nat volunteer to stay at the table while everyone else picks up food.

"Get Nat some chicken tenders, will you?" Lottie murmurs to Shauna.

As the others walk away, Lottie turns to Nat, who looks distracted, staring off into the distance and chewing on her lip.

"You okay?"

Nat startles, pulling her gaze away from whatever she was staring at. Her eyes can't seem to settle, darting to Lottie's face and away again, scanning the food area skittishly.

"Yeah, sorry," she replies unconvincingly. Lottie scoots a little closer, putting a careful hand on the small of Nat's back.

"What's going on?"

She tries to follow Nat's gaze and her stomach flips when she realizes what the other girl is looking at. A few meters away, half-hidden by a group of older women at the table beside them, sits a lady and her child. They're arguing, quietly enough that Lottie can't make out what they're saying, but she can feel the way Nat tenses as she watches them.

"Um," Nat stammers, rising up off her seat a little as the lady stands, still berating her child. Lottie reaches up to tug her back down.

"Nat," she says gently. "It's okay."

She gets a disbelieving look for her efforts, but Natalie sinks back down to the bench, eyes still glued to the other table. Lottie tries distracting her with taking a look at the zoo map to figure out where they're going next to no avail. After a few minutes, she gives up on trying to distract Nat and just places a hand on her leg to keep her from getting up as she watches too. It's not exactly polite to stare, but Lottie would rather Nat stare than get into a sticky situation by going up to the lady, who's still arguing with her child as she buckles a younger kid into a stroller.

As she finishes, she turns around to the older child, hand raising. Lottie's heart thuds uncomfortably and she finds herself rising up just slightly. At the same time, Nat's knees slam against the bottom of the table as she tries to get up, but her pant leg catches on the bench and tumbles back against Lottie. Her breathing is stilted, anxious as she pushes herself back up to get a look at the lady.

The lady doesn't bring the hand down on the kid as Lottie knew Nat was fearing. It stays in the air, waving back and forth at another woman, who's approaching with a tray of food. The action seems to be of little consolation to Nat, who still looks on the verge of exploding as she turns back to their table. She won't look at Lottie, hands coming up to cover her face.

"Sweetheart," Lottie coos, reaching out to place a hand on Nat's back. She's about to pry, just a little further, but Mel and Gen come back holding trays with the others not far behind them. The table gets crowded quickly with their other teammates, chatter building between them until Lottie can barely make out what Shauna's trying to tell her from the other side of the table. Beside her, Nat sits sullenly, poking at her food disinterestedly.

The longer they sit, the further Nat's shoulders droop. She starts tipping into Lottie's side, one hand scrabbling for a hold on Lottie's beneath the table.

"Hey, kiddo," Lottie murmurs, testing the waters. When Nat's head falls against her shoulder without complaint, she knows she's right. They're not exactly in the best place for Lottie to try addressing what happened, so she just presses a quick kiss to Nat's hair and lets the girl lean on her.

As everyone finishes their food and gets up to go, Nat won't let go of Lottie's hand. Mel notices quickly and scoops up their trash for them, piling it into her own tray so that Lottie won't have to pry her hand out of Nat's.

For the rest of the trip, Nat is silent and clinging, ignoring the others' attempts to get her to come see the monkeys or check out this cool lizard. Lottie offers to take her back to the car early, but the suggestion makes Nat's face go dark and her mouth turn up in a pout.

"She okay?" Shauna asks as they're walking away from one of the exhibits. Lottie glances over at Nat, but she's pretending not to have heard Shauna's question, kicking at the ground with the toe of her already scuffed shoe.

"We had a little spook earlier," Lottie replies lightly, giving Nat's hand a squeeze. Shauna nods, dipping her head to try and catch Nat's gaze. She's unsuccessful, sighing as she gives Lottie a tight smile.

"We're almost done here, Nat," she says. "One more exhibit and then we can go home."

Nat nods, the first acknowledgement she's given anyone except Lottie since lunch. Shauna squeezes her shoulder as she walks away and Nat sniffles, small and quiet.

"This was already kinda overwhelming and lunchtime just made it all a bit harder, huh?" Lottie isn't really asking, but Nat nods again anyway, letting herself be tucked under Lottie's arm.

She's slightly more pliant after that, obviously eager to get home. She lets Lottie go so that she can unlock the car and doesn't fight against being buckled into her seat. When Mari plops their water backpack into her lap, she doesn't protest, wrapping her arms around the bag obediently.

Lottie decides it's probably fine if she drives home, because Nat seems settled enough, and before long, they're off on the almost hour trip back to the house. She and Shauna talk quietly up front, playing music softly because it usually lulls the rest of the car to sleep when they do that. They're at a particularly long stop light when Mari's voice pipes up from behind Shauna.

"Nat's crying."

Shauna turns, ready to scold Mari for tattling, but she quiets quickly when she realizes Nat really is crying. She's staring straight ahead, eyes locked on the back of Lottie's head as tears stream silently down her face. Her shoulders shake minutely as she does and Shauna turns back front again quickly.

"Boy, I could really use the restroom," she says pointedly.

Lottie swings the car into the next gas station they see, throwing the car in park a little too quickly. She gets out at the same time as Shauna, who opens Mari's door to usher her out and into the passengers seat. Lottie climbs into Mari's spot as Shauna replaces hers. By the time they're off again, Nat's nestled into Lottie's side, face tucked down against her shoulder as Lottie cards a hand through her hair. She doesn't try talking to Nat about it. She knows exactly what's going on for the smaller girl and broadcasting it to the entire car is likely to be the opposite of helpful.

"I thought you had to go to the bathroom," Mari says to Shauna.

"False alarm," the brunette shrugs, switching lanes so quickly that Lottie winces a little.

Shauna's driving gets them home in record time and Lottie guides Nat out of the car, taking the water backpack from her as they enter the house. Making their way to the kitchen, she stops short in the sitting room at the sight of Tai on the couch, sandwiched between a sleeping Mel and Van.

Van's cheeks are pink in the way that they get when she cries and Mel's got a finger jammed in her mouth, and Tai's carefully smoothing a hand over each of their backs.

"Rough day?" Lottie whispers.

Tai grins tiredly. "Something like that. You too?"

Lottie pats Nat's shoulder.

"Something like that."

In the kitchen, she coaxes Nat into drinking a cup of water.

"Feeling any better?"

Nat shrugs, pushing the cup towards Lottie, who fills it up again for her. She doesn't seem to be in much of a talking mood.

"Would you like to take a nap?"

It's a little late in the day for one, but Lottie's willing to let her get away with it if it's what she wants. Nat shakes her head, water dribbling from the side of her mouth as she puts her second cup down. Lottie wipes it away with her thumb.

"We could go put a very quiet show on and sit on the couch with Tai?"

Nat nods, so they go into the sitting room and curl up on the other side of the couch. She pulls away from Lottie's side almost immediately to place her head in her lap instead, stretching her legs out across open cushions. Tai watches with mild interest as Lottie flips through show options for Nat, settling finally on one she doesn't recognize with a bunch of kids and a spaceship.

She can't keep herself from chuckling when she realizes that, as the episode wears on, it's Lottie who starts dozing, head tipping back against the cushions as her hand in Nat's hair stills.

Tai thinks she'll have to suggest an early bedtime for them all.

ੈ✩‧₊˚ Nat isn’t quite sure how to deal with the cold, and when her favourite comfort isn’t available to her she feels younger than normal, Lottie has to figure out how to distract her from that fact and warm her up.

{ notes- this is my very first time writing a oneshot so i hope you enjoy it !! this is also a gift for @cryingatwindermerepeaks thank you for all your contributions towards the yellowjackets agere tag !! includes cg!lottie, regressor!nat, use of pacifiers, mentions of nats trauma relating to the cold.}

word count- 1.4k

“There you are.” Lottie’s voice manages to squeeze itself into the tiny space between the coatrack and the shelf where they keep the outdoor shoes. When Nat moves the arm of her fur coat, she can spot the light pink fabric of Lottie’s pyjama bottoms creasing as she kneels in front of her hiding spot.

The weather had been getting colder again, windows frosted over when they woke in the early mornings, and cardigans worn over their sleep shirts. Nat had never minded the winter before the crash- the cold was merely an inconvenience due to the trailer not being able to keep out the cold- but in Lottie’s house, the warmth from the heaters kept you feeling safe until you had to leave.

Things had been piling up over the past week, Nat had tripped on a walk- earning her a scraped knee and cold palms, Lottie had to leave and go out of town for three days which left her to return to her Mother’s trailer with her tail between her legs- even if she had been told she was welcomed in the Matthew’s home whilst Lottie was away, she had been too nervous to stay on her own in that big house.

Then the worst thing had happened: Nat had dropped Rusty the raccoon into the sink while trying to help by washing the dishes. Lottie wasn’t mad at her; she never was, but she had insisted that Rusty needed to get a wash before Nat could play with him again. That was fine, she had managed to convince herself, she could hold out on regressing until she got her stuffie back safe and sound- at least she thought so until one of the butlers had left the back door open and had chilled the entire house.

Lottie had known about Nat having to brace the cold every day during that first winter with Travis, and then when the second rolled around, she had been the one to climb the snowy mountain all on her own. She knew Nat struggled with the cold; usually on her bad days, she would stay curled up in her bed with Rusty in one arm and a hot water bottle in the other. But this time, Rusty wasn’t anywhere to be found.

“Can you scoot yourself out a little, please?” Nat couldn’t think of anything worse, her cheeks felt warm from the array of coats and jackets surrounding her, and she could smell Lottie’s perfume on the more furry coats. “Just so I can see your smiley face, bug.”

“S’ cold.” Lottie can hear the frown through her words, she’s quiet in a way that would tell Lottie that she had regressed if she hadn’t been able to tell by her hiding away in the mudroom. “Don’t want to go outside.”

“I know, baby.” Lottie tries to reason with her- it’s not the usual approach she would have to take, when Natalie regressed she never had to be bribed or bargained with, she always strived to please. “You don’t have to go outside, I promise, nobody’s going out there. It’s getting warmer now, but you’ve been hiding away for so long in there, I doubt you can feel it.”

Nat must shuffle, or adjust her arms, because Lottie now has a full view of her, sitting curled up with her knees to her chest, her thumb switching between getting chewed on and slipping into her mouth. Her heart breaks a little bit seeing just how small she looks- Nat rarely regresses this young, and it always strikes Lottie just how tiny she can look.

“‘M sorry.” Nat’s lip begins to wobble in a way that makes Lottie want to swaddle her up in countless layers of blankets and never let her go ever again. She sounds exhausted and scared more than anything else. “I’m just really cold.”

“You don’t have to be, everything’s alright, I promise you.” She sticks her arms into the midst of hanging clothes, letting Nat grab at her warm hand and rub it against her cheek like she does with the ear of her raccoon- though this only seems to refresh her memory.

“But-“ Nat shakes her head just before she begins to shuffle herself out, finally looking up at her caregiver with big, teary eyes. “But Rusty’s gone, can’t find him.”

“Oh baby, he’s in the dryer, remember?”

“All alone?” That thought alone seems to panic her, a whine escapes her pitifully as she releases Lottie’s hand to rub at the few tears that have fallen at the realisation she’s left her best friend all alone in the scary dryer.

“He won’t be in there for long.” She feels stuck; she needs Nat to come out from her hiding space without causing her more panic, but her stuffie’s only just been put into the dryer and will still be another fifteen minutes. “How about we go and check on Rusty? And if he isn’t quite dry enough, then Mama can do her magic trick to get him all warm and ready for you?”

Nat blinks at her for a moment, the mix of reassurances and Lottie referring to herself as ‘Mama’ clearly had thrown her into a deeper headspace than normal. But before Lottie can backtrack, Nat gives a nervous nod before beginning to shuffle towards her whilst taking her still extended hand.

“Good job, Sweetheart.” She sighs out, and once Nat manages to squeeze her way fully out, Lottie has no issues pulling Nat into her arms once she’s standing, holding the regressed girl against her front.

Nat lets out a small whine at the cold air inside the mud room, burying her face in the warm silk of Lottie’s shoulder until she feels the warm air from the rest of the house and is sure they aren’t going anywhere near the outdoors.

The rest of the house has all warmed up, the fireplaces all lit and flooding the house with both warmth and the comforting smell which takes her back to the first winter in the cabin- luckily, the smell has never triggered Natalie at all. The laundry room is warm enough to rid the goosebumps on Natalie’s skin, and she gives a contented sound into her Mama’s neck once the smell of cotton laundry powder fills her nose.

“Mama?”

Lottie hums back a reply, her hand rubbing her back in small circles as she sways on her feet. She huffs out a small laugh once she receives a small mumble into her neck. “Rusty?”

“Mama can do the trick if you like, but that means you have to get down so I can grab the hair dryer and get Rusty out.” She can hardly get her sentence out before Nat shakes her head, her hands coming up to grab at her shoulders. “Oh, I know, I know you wanna stay here, I've got you.”

It takes her a lot of effort, and a few close calls, but she manages to sit herself on the ground without dropping Nat, who hasn’t let her grip weaken since the idea of being put down escaped Lottie’s mouth. “Or we can just sit here and watch Rusty get all nice and warm from the dryer.”

Once she receives a small nod, and feels her baby's head turn to face the shaking machine which is holding her friend hostage. She leans back against a pile of towels before spotting Nat’s thumb tucked between her teeth.

“Hm, I think I see a thumb where it isn’t supposed to be.” She makes sure to keep her tone a playful one, poking a finger at Nat’s cheek until she gets a small smile. Lottie gently tugs on her hand until she releases her thumb, even if it earns her a pout. She reveals a pacifier from the pocket of her pyjama trousers, a dark blue one with glow-in-the-dark stars- a gift from Van, if she remembers correctly. She places a small kiss on Nat’s forehead as she timidly accepts the pacifier, so that she knows she isn’t looking at her whilst she gets used to it.

Lottie’s sure she’ll have a sore back later on, but she’ll take it if that means Natalie can settle until Rusty can be returned to her. She’s quick to fall into a dozy state, half awake as the soft thrumming of the dryer mixes with Lottie’s warm hand stroking her hair away from her face.

“You can sleep, cuddle-bug, Rusty will be all ready for you once you wake up again, I promise.” Nat falls asleep in her Mama's arms without fear.

gift for @butchreg for making me the cutest dni banner ever!! tank u oomfie pie :3

i accidentally wrote wayyyy too much so plz enjoy this blurb that got too long to be a blurb :p

"oh my goodness jackie.."

shauna left her bedroom for one minute to put her dinner dish downstairs, coming back to jackie covered with spaghetti sauce. jackie stared up at her with her big hazel eyes, tilting her head in confusion as she grabbed another handful of spaghetti to shove in her mouth. despite looking absolutely adorable with sauce covering her face, shauna knew jackie needed a bath.

"no no no, sweetheart, that's enough for tonight." shauna hoisted jackie up onto her hip, watching as the spaghetti from her hand fell onto the floor. shauna made a mental note to clean that up once they came back from the bathroom.

jackie was not happy about being taken away from her dinner, whining and kicking her legs in shauna's hold and shoving her sauce-covered face into her mama's shoulder. shauna felt bad, but she couldn't let her get into shauna's fresh, clean bedding while she's smothered in sauce. absolutely not.

grabbing some towels and a clean washcloth, shauna carried jackie over to the bathroom, attempting to comfort her on the way after noticing her whines.

"it'll be okay jax," shauna cooed, "mama's gonna make it quick, then you can have your baba, hm?"

shauna's tone helped to ease jackie's nerves a bit, but she was still unhappy to be taking a bath nonetheless.

once they arrived in the bathroom, shauna placed jackie on the floor, letting her play with the towels as she got the rest of the items prepared, including bath toys and jackie's favorite lavender scented soap. she took one of the towels and spread it across the floor next to the bathtub, just in case jackie decided to splash a bit too hard.

all that was left to do was to turn the water on and wait for it to get to warm before plugging the drain. as shauna turned on the faucet, jackie yelped, surprised by the sudden loud noise. shauna immediately turned around to cover jackie's ears, knowing she hates the sound of the faucet running. jackie's not exactly a fan of most sounds at all, except for her own voice and shauna's voice (most of the time).

with shauna's hands over her baby's ears, she whispered despite knowing she definitely could not hear her at the moment, "i know it's scary lovey, it's almost there." shauna occasionally looked back at the tub as it slowly filled up, waiting until it got to the halfway point before she could remove her hands from jackie's ears and turn off the water.

shauna helped take off jackie's messy clothing and placed her in the bath, throwing in rubber squeaky toys and a few foam alphabet letters for her. immediately, jackie reached for two of the foam letters, sticking them in her mouth and lazily chewing on them as she kicked her feet. she wobbled ever so slightly, expected from a little one still mastering how to sit up on her own.

grabbing the washcloth, shauna poured a droplet of soap into the middle and wet it with water, rubbing each end together to lather the soap. she gently scrubbed jackie's face, where most of the sauce was. "there we go, that's my good girl. we're getting you all nice and clean."

jackie babbled around the toys in her mouth as shauna cleaned her face, completely forgetting how unhappy she originally was to be taking a bath. shauna smiled at her silly girl, pushing her hair back and planting a kiss on her forehead.

after she finished wiping off jackie's face, she moved on to her hands and neck, which also had plenty of sauce on them. the bath was going by smoothly, no tears from jackie since she was so focused on the bright, colorful toys in front of her. shauna decided to skip over washing her hair, just to avoid more sensory intake for jackie that she probably couldn't handle at the moment.

following a final rinse using clean water, shauna began to drain the bath, much to jackie's dismay. "all done, you did so good jax!" shauna exclaimed, picking jackie up with one of the towels she brought and wrapping it around her so she could carry her back to the bedroom. jackie was obviously tired and desperate for her bottle, with the way she kept rubbing her eyes and suckling on her thumb. jackie was very much ready for bed.

shauna quickly noticed jackie's attempt to communicate her needs, gently ruffling her hair and assuring her that she can go to bed soon, "oh jax, i know you're so so sleepy, we can go nini soon, okay lovebug?"

once they arrived in the bedroom, shauna laid jackie down on the bed with the towel beneath her, grabbing one of her favorite plushies to distract her for the moment. shauna went through the box she kept in her closet, specifically filled with items for jackie's regression, and got baby powder, lotion, a diaper, and fuzzy pajamas with pink bunnies adorning the front.

as shauna brought the supplies back, jackie noticed the diaper in her arms, immediately whining and wriggling on the blanket. she was still shy about needing them, feeling ashamed whenever shauna brought one out.

"i need to put one on you so you can have your baba, i'm sorry that you're not happy baby girl." shauna apologized, feeling bad for putting jackie in a vulnerable position. she took jackie's pacifier from the nightstand and popped it in her mouth, attempting to soothe her until she finished changing her.

luckily for shauna, it went by calmly with no tears from jackie, leaving her with only the pajamas left to put on her. at this point, jackie was getting cranky, feeling impatient about her bottle, along with being exhausted. shauna tickled her sides and blew a raspberry on her tummy, proving to be an effective way to make jackie laugh, as the little burst into a fit of giggles.

"i'm almost done, we just have to put your jammies on." as quick as she could, shauna slipped her pajamas on. lastly, shauna turned a pair of socks inside out, knowing how fussy she gets when the inside of her sock is touching her just slightly wrong, and put them on her.

all that was left to do was make a bottle for jackie.

upon seeing shauna slowly walk over to the door, jackie's bottom lip quivered, not wanting her mama to leave. "mama will be right back, can you stay here and be a good girl for me?" jackie waved her fists around and whimpered, clearly unhappy with being left alone. shauna, way too soft for her baby girl, picked her up without hesitation.

jackie sighed, feeling content in shauna's arms as she carried her to the kitchen. shauna warmed up a bottle of milk and a drop of vanilla extract, bouncing jackie gently as they waited for the microwave to go off. once it was ready, they went back to the bedroom, finally ready to go to bed.

shauna lied in bed with jackie on top of her, cradling her with a blanket loosely covering her. "are you ready for your baba, sweet girl?" shauna cooed, bringing the bottle to the little's lips, waiting for her to latch on. jackie quickly started drinking, causing shauna to sigh in relief. her baby could finally get the rest she's been wanting.

"there we go, it's all yours." shauna whispered. as jackie's suckling slowed, shauna replaced the bottle with her pacifier, noticing that she was falling asleep. "i love you so very much, jackie, sleep well."

Little Shauna x CG Yellowjackets

She’s a very hyperactive little. She wants to be doing something at all times. From writing in her little journal or playing outside.

She has a wide age range that goes from 2-7 she really only goes to two on her really bad days. When nothing is going right for her.

She loves blues clues and Clifford the big red dog.

She’s always getting some cut or scrap from climbing outside and rough housing.

She actually prefers teethers or chewy necklaces to pacis

She sometimes can be a bit bratty if she’s very overwhelmed and doesn’t have a good day.

She gets a little rough every now and then and some times the others (Natalie,Van and Tai) have to remind her that some times some other littles are younger then her and can’t be rough.

Jackie sometimes takes up for a lot and gets her out of a lot of trouble.

[age-re-side]

Mel going through a 'No' phase. Every question she's asked is 'no' even if she doesn't truly mean it. Tai asks her if she's ready to go to bed? 'No.' Does she want to stay up for another five minutes? 'No.' Does she just want to say no? 'No.'

saw u wanted yellowjackets reqs .. any for babyspace nat ? 🐾 :3c

babyspace!nat headcanons (ft cg!lottie)

🍼 tends to regress this small quite often, especially if shes feeling stressed or having a bad day.

🕊️ she prefers to regress on her own. she has this me against the world mindset (and yes, it stems from her childhood), and she's almost ashamed to be small because all her life, she was told to grow up and stop acting like a child.

🏐 lottie is the first to find out after she scrapes her knee playing soccer and starts to regress on the field. lottie has a first aid kit in her bag in the locker room and she tells coach scott that she's going to patch natalie up there. once they're out of sight from the others, natalie's clinging onto her hand like a lifeline. lottie fixes her up and then they bail on practice in favour of going to lottie's house where they watch cartoons for the afternoon.

🍼 nat is terrified that lottie won't want to be her friend anymore or will tell the other yellowjackets that she literally bolts the other way every time she sees her in the hall or at practice (avoidance has always been her favourite defence mechanism.) lottie is not all that surprised, so one day she slides nat a ham sandwich at lunch as a way to show that she is okay with it, and after that, it starts their friendship blossoming. nat and lottie eventually have a conversation about her regression and slowly but surely lottie becomes nat's primary caregiver.

🕊️ nearly always retreats to lottie's house when she's feeling small because her mom and dad are rarely home and the caretaking staff etc just leave them be quite a lot of the time so it's quite private.

🏐 loves a good old rocking chair. she used to have one as a child and although her mom rarely used it when she was a baby, it still sat vacant in nat's bedroom because a) her mom just forgot it was there and b) nat never drew attention to it in fear of her parents getting rid of it. whenever she is feeling small, she'll curl up in it with her baby blankie. when she stays at lottie's, her new favourite place to curl up in is lottie's lap because she'll rock them back and forth to mimic that rocking chair motion.

🍼 tends to be quite unsettled or fussy when she's small. i head canon her as autistic so her emotions can be quite overwhelming at the best of times but thats heightened when she's feeling tiny.

🕊️ is such a biter. not even intentionally, but if she doesn't have a paci or a teether or the strings of her hoody, she will try to nibble on whoever's closest.

🏐 loves lullabies, especially if they're sung by lottie because she has such a soothing voice. lottie makes her a mixtape of instrumentals/lullabies for when nat's regressing at her house/on her own.

🍼 could spend hours with crayola crayons. she'll colour in for ages and then present lottie with her masterpieces, which is often times just scribbles on the paper but lottie is always kissing her forehead and praising her and calling her her little artist.

🕊️ likes to be held, but it has to be tightly otherwise it makes her skin crawl. on that notion, she's such a cuddle bug.

🏐 is nine times out of ten nonverbal, but if she's feeling particularly fussy or excited or just wants someone's attention, she will babble non-stop. also has a habit of giving people's hair a tug to get their attention if their hair is particularly long (lottie)

🍼 always tries to eat stuff that she's not supposed to. i'm talking she needs almost constant supervision if out in the garden cause she'll try to eat worms and bugs and berries and flowers

🕊️ will only eat mushed up bananas, yoghurt or animal crackers. sometimes ventures out to cut up oranges or watermelons but that's a rare occasion. however, she adores having bottles and she needs one every night before bed.

🏐 she's as light as a feather and she loves to be carried when she's feeling small; it makes her feel safe and it has her diving headfirst into her regression, too.

chronic pain little Lottie who is so used to suffering alone until she moves into The House. Lottie who learnt to keep her tears quiet as a child because if she was too loud she’d be a burden her parents had to deal with. Lottie who spent her days alone in her room because there was no one to play with her. Lottie who lived her life thinking she was ‘too much’ and ‘too hard to care for’. Lottie who never really had anyone who made her feel safe or valued.

And then suddenly - she’s surrounded by people who just want her to know how loved she is.

Van who carries her up and down the stairs so she isn’t left out when her legs are too sore to walk. Jackie who sits by her bed and plays quietly so she’s never alone. Nat who draws with glitter pens all over Lottie’s sore spots to make her smile. Gen who braids her hair - and Akilah who lets Lottie slump into her arms to help her sit upright so her hair can be reached. Tai who researches and finds every possible solution to help ease some of Lottie’s pain. Laura Lee who misses out on countless outings but always promises Lottie she’d rather be home taking care of her. Shauna who comes into Lottie’s room on nights when she can’t sleep, pulls back the curtains, and tells her stories about the stars. Mel who does dozens of drawing to stick on Lottie’s wall so she has something new to look at each day. Misty who always brings home new kids books from the library with lots of pictures for when Lottie is having a hard time with words. Mari who despite being so scared of medical stuff, always offers to take Lottie to appointments so she never has to be alone.

💛☀️Thinking abt all the yellowjackets going on a trip to a farm/petting zoo and meeting up with Travis (he’s deffo a flip/uncle cg). Akilah dragging him off to go look at the bunnies immediately whilst Van, Melissa, Gen and Mari are chasing each other on those pedal go karts painted to look like tractors (Van is very much in cg space which makes the whole thing even funnier to imagine). Jackie, Shauna and Misty are all giggling copying the calves’ loud moos back to them after initially being startled, and when they get to the stables area Tai has to step in when they start bickering over which one of them is the pony’s favourite person. Lottie is sitting down on a tiny hay bale seat, super quiet and calmly feeding a baby lamb, whispering gently to it like her Mama does to her when she has her bottle, whilst Nat beams with pride.💛☀️

(I’m so close to sending this to someone as a fic request or acc tryna write it myself even tho I’ve never written fics before, but also my heart is gonna explode thinking about this😭)

Maybe um tiny baby Jackie and Mama Shauna hcs?

ੈ✩‧₊˚ baby!jackie taylor + cg!shauna shipman

{ notes- sorry these requests are taking so long! am getting more motivated so hopefully more done soon! }

🐇 . . . Shauna has a few nicknames for little Jackie; bunny, jax, sweetheart, smiley.

🧸 . . . when Jackie’s this tiny Shauna quickly becomes ‘mama’, and Jax’s always babbling it to get fussed over !!

🎀 . . . Jackie is very particular with what she wears especially when she feels reallyyyy small.

🐰 . . . has a couple onesies but she prefers wearing one of her mama’s shirts

🍼 . . . the definition of ‘velcro baby’, always wants her mama to carry her around, or if she can’t then she needs to be in eyesight- though she’s still whining until Shauna’s back at her side !!

🐇 . . . hasn’t quite mastered object permanence yet cos of how little she gets, cries as soon as her mama leaves the room until she comes back.

🧸 . . . very whiny baby, is shes upset she’ll kick her legs and huff.

🎀 . . . temperamental, can quickly turn from frowns to giggles to tears- so so sensitive and Shauna has to always keep an eye on her.

🐰 . . . is a sleepy baby !!!

🍼 . . . loveslovesloves bedtime, even if sometimes its hard, she loves laying and snuggling with Shauna, soft cozy blankets.

🐇 . . . only likes doing tummy-time if Shauna’s laying down next to her or in front of her.

🧸 . . . loveslovesloves her paci, she has lots of different ones but her favourite is a baby blue one with ’baby’ written on it that Shauna made for her.

🎀 . . . likes when Shauna does her hair, Shauna isn’t the best at doing hair (especially on a wriggly baby) but manages pigtails, a braid or sometimes just clipping it out of Jackie’s face.

🐰 . . . Jax’s such a fussy eater when she’s small, but when she’s in her babyspace she’s the worst for it, Shauna has to load her up on fruit and yogurt before Jackie’s whining because she wants a bottle.

tell me more about autistic little jackie.. does she have a cg? what does she like to do?

autistic little!jackie

tags little!jackietaylor, cg!shaunashipman (mostly), autistic!jackie, sfw agere, autism, neurodivergency, stimming, meltdowns, teen timeline no crash / pre crash

i'm gonna turn this into a headcanon post if that's alright :3

❤︎ - jackie's main caregiver is definitely shauna!! although jackie is usually fine with anyone caring for her, she has a strong preference for shauna, especially when she's not having a good day.

❤︎ - since jackie was forced to mask for nearly her entire life, shauna encourages her to unmask as much as possible, and although at times it can be hard because she's so conditioned to act a certain way, she does enjoy being able to turn her mind off and fully unmask.

❤︎ - when jackie's small, she's fine with no toys, as long as she always has her pink bunny plush. shauna absolutely refuses to touch it because jackie likes to chew on the ears and she'd have a meltdown if shauna tried to wash it, but she always makes sure she's never without it.

❤︎ - she is the biggest picky eater. if she could, she'd eat the same thing all day. the only way she'll eat vegetables is if shauna reminds her that bunnies eat veggies, but she won't push jackie if she's experiencing more sensory problems than usual.

❤︎ - part of unmasking includes showing more negative emotions. as a result, jackie is very open when she's not happy. poor baby has days where she'll have meltdown after meltdown because her mind can't relax :( despite this, shauna does a great job at helping her regulate herself.

❤︎ - jackie is so very talkative when she's itty, mostly as a form of stimming. whether it's random sentences or nonsensical babbling, she just always wants to talk. she loves when shauna replies to her, even fussing if shauna doesn't say anything to her. since shauna can't exactly understand what she's trying to say, she'll reply with things like "oh really? is that right jax?" or "i can't believe that!" just to please her baby.

❤︎ - shauna makes sure she has a strict routine to stick to. she'll get overwhelmed very easily if something is different or she isn't able to do something that she usually does. it also makes transitioning to another activity easier since she can expect for it to happen.
