"Shit"

Bibiana cursed silently at the screeching sound the door made as she tried to shut it.
After waiting to see if the sound made any effects, she continued tiptoeing into her home, careful not to make another sound.

The clock on the wall whispered that it was almost midnight, and she didn't want to wake her sleeping niece, Bella. The soft glow of the moonlight streaming through the sheer curtains guided her way in.

Exhaustion weighed heavily on her shoulders. She had just finished a long and challenging shift at her second job. She knew she had to take care of herself, especially after her recent health scare. Her heart condition required her to be diligent about her medication and self-care.

After successfully maneuvering past the living room, she went to check on Bella, and thankfully, she was still sleeping.
Satisfied, she made her way to the bathroom. She undressed with a sigh of relief and entered the shower, letting the day's tension wash away.
The warm water cascaded over her, erasing the stress and fatigue.

Once done, she reached for the small container of pills on the bathroom counter. She carefully counted out her medications and took them. The rhythmic sound of water droplets falling from the shower head onto the tiles provided a soothing backdrop as she stood there, lost in her thoughts.

"Bibi, is that you?" Bella's tiny voice dragged Bibiana away from her thoughts.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfB9Do70rSL
Ah, she should have known. Bella was, of course, a light sleeper.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrXsxBbr7R
"Yes, my love! I'm so, so sorry."

Bella giggled softly. "Oh, it's okay."

Bibiana wrapped herself in a soft towel and entered her bedroom. Her nine-year-old niece lay on her queen-sized bed, counting her fingers. She immediately sat up upon seeing Bibiana.

"How are you, my princess? I'm sorry for waking you up," Bibiana went over and showered her with kisses.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1PEgjypeK
"You didn't, Bibi. I had a bad nightmare, so I woke up."
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyRlyCMHvJ
"Just say 'nightmare,' sweetie. I'm sorry you had that. Wanna sleep with me? You can tell me about this dream tomorrow."
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cC5YLhT0F
"Yeah."
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXei21xH9C
This was her trick to help Bella forget about her nightmares. By the next morning, she would have completely forgotten the dream.

Bibiana slipped into her pajamas as they chatted. After getting dressed, she quickly completed her nighttime skincare routine with Bella's assistance.

"Okay. Time for bed, munchkin," Bibiana announced.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56BwRw2eN6
"I don't wanna dream that nightmare again."
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5u2krzNItj
"I promise you won't, my love. I'm right here with you, and I'll be with you inside your dream to watch over you. Come on, you've got school tomorrow."

Bibiana tucked her in and planted a kiss on her cheek. "I'll be right with you."
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBr29g3mjXQ
"Mhmm..." Bella nodded and rubbed her eye, sleep evident in her face.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8jOyXNLWB
Bibiana quickly made last-minute arrangements in her room and set out her work outfit for the next day.
Climbing into her bed, she pulled the duvet snugly around her and Bella before drifting off to sleep.
