Caregiver! Baran Al-Hashimi & Little! Trinity Santos
A/N: Baran...my beloved. Also, Trinity is a DIVA. Also, a TW for ED, Self Harm, Bed Wetting and CSA references that will be hidden under "keep reading" that are drawn from personal experience! Take care of yourself.
- Baran is just the most loving mama to a little girl who just so desperately needs it!
- Trinity's been through so much that she just needs to catch a break, for once, and Baran is more than thrilled to provide it.
- Trinity is one of those very active littles who loves to run around and play. They spend a lot of time at the park and outside for her to get her energy out! - Trinity likes being chased. Baran will mostly entertain it when they're at the park. Trinity also likes hide and seek, so they play that a lot. - Tiny Trin is absolutely a biter when she gets overstimulated or excited. Baran learns very quickly to redirect her toward safe chewables before Trinity can sink her teeth into sleeves, blankets, or occasionally Baran herself.
- When Trinity is upset or sleepy, Baran LOVES to rock her little girl. Baran eventually buys a rocking chair specifically because Trinity falls asleep so much more easily when she’s being held and rocked. More than once, both of them accidentally end up asleep there together.
- Baran is also a singer - she will sing to help Trinity fall asleep or to calm her down. - Both big and little Trinity cannot tie their shoes for the life of them. This has led to Trinity almost always wearing either Velcro shoes or Crocs. - Little Trinity loves the rain! She'll beg Baran to let her go splash out in the puddles, and Baran will at first be very reluctant about it before letting her do it. Trinity has the time of her life, every single time. Baran has had to carry a giggling Trinity out of puddles more than once. - Trinity loves to draw! Baran's house is just chock full of little things Trinity drew for her when she was little. - Trinity is incredibly clingy in little space and absolutely thrives on physical affection. Baran indulges her constantly because, truthfully, she adores how attached Trinity gets to her. - Baran will always kiss every single one of Trinity's boo-boos, real or fake. This usually ends up with a very giggly Tiny Trin! - Baran loves packing bento boxes for Trinity - and it makes Trinity so excited to see what mama made for her this week! - Trinity LOVEEES piggyback rides. She's always super shy about asking for one, though. - Trinity loves bathtime once she trusts Baran fully. Warm water, the feeling of hands in her hair washing it, and the soft singing that usually accompanies bath time relaxes her almost instantly. This leads to Trinity bolting towards the bathroom immediately after Baran says the words "Bath time". - Trinity will climb onto things that she should have no business climbing onto, like kitchen counters and, somehow, fridges - Baran's lap is prime free real estate for Trinity - she will climb into it with little to no warning.
- I have to imagine that at first, Trinity tried to hide her age regression from everyone around her, too embarrassed to admit her little side. She was forced to grow up so quick as an actual child that the concept of being childish is so embarrassing for her.
- Baran, once she becomes Trinity's caregiver after finding out by pure accident, sets out to show Trinity that it's not embarrassing at all. It takes Trinity a while to start slowly trusting her and letting Baran show her that she's not going to leave Trinity because of it.
