You sat on the floor of the living room, playing with your toys as Caitlin and Katie relaxed on the couch since it was supposed to start raining soon.
"Mommy" you said panic as soon as the lightening flashed. You raced into Caitlin lap, abandoning your toys as the thunder hit. You quickly gripping her shirt tightly as you hid in her neck as you waited for the thunder and lighting to strike again
Caitlin looking down at you in shock before looking at Katie who was smiling widely and nodding to confirm what you said and doing her best to not jump excitedly
"What's wrong?" Caitlin asked gently rubbing your back as she now looked at you in concern. Both women getting their answer as lighting flashed and you tensed up, followed by a whimper at the thunder.
"Aww darling, the storm can't hurt you. It will pass before you know it" Caitlin said
"Want to know a cool trick?" Katie asked, watching as you slowly nodded your head against Caitlin
"We can figure out how far the lightening is by counting how long is between the lighting and thunder. For every 5 second, it's a mile away" Katie said but you didn't move
Lighting flashed and Katie started counting for you to hear, "1,2,3,4,5,6,7 second. It's over a a mile away!" Katie said and you nodded against Caitlin
"Now we wait for another to see if it's getting farther away" Katie continued, knowing you were listening
Lighting struck and Katie started counting again, "1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10. The storms getting further way sweetheart" Katie exclaimed and they saw you relax your grip on Caitlin shirt
"It should be over soon" Caitlin said, kissing your head as you relaxed more against her
Both women sat with you until the stormed passed, counting how far away the storm was getting until they couldn't see the lightening or hear the thunder
"Sweetheart, look the storm has past" Katie said softly as she rubbed your back, trying to get you leave your hiding spot
"No, mama" you mumbled against Caitlin as you gripped Caitlin shirt tighter as both women smiled widely at each other
"Noo" you whined as she gently pulled you from Caitlin, you curling into a ball as you kept your eyes closed
"Mama's not lying, darling" Caitlin kissing your head with a smile as both women wearing doppy smiles as you calling them both mommy and mama.
You slowly opened your eyes to look out the window to see the storm had passed, your body instantly relaxing into Katie
"Up we go! Now we look for the rainbow" Katie said placing you on your feet and grabbing your hand as she led you outside. The sun already peaking out of the clouds.
"I don't see it yet" Katie said walking further into the yard with you, Caitlin not far behind
"There it is!" Caitlin said pointing out the rainbow a few minutes later
"Pretty" you said quietly with wide eyes
"It is very pretty, makes the storm less scary if you know you can find a rainbow after" Katie said as you nodded up with a smile before a mischievous glint in your eyes appeared. Katie matching it as you both jumped at the same time. Water flying up as you giggled.
"Let's get mommy" Katie said as you and her took off to Caitlin and started jumping in the puddles around her, causing Caitlin grin even as the other two caused her to get wet
"I'm going to get you both" Caitlin said going to chase you as Katie grabbed her and said,"Run, I'll slow her down." You running away laughing as Katie held Caitlin back
"She called us mommy and mama" Katie whispered with grin and spinning her around and placing a kiss to Caitlin's lip
"I know! I can't get over her saying it!" Caitlin replied with a huge smile as her chest filled with warm of the knowing that is what you see her as.
"Let's go join the kid. I want to hear her say it again" Katie said with a smile as she grabbed Caitlin hand and they went to join you in jumping in puddles
