Feeling left out (age 3)

It had been a week since scootaloo was born and windy's mother (sprectrum)was coming over today to see the family and meet the new little bundle of joy.


Bow hothoof: what time will your mother be here?


Windy whistles: in about an hour she said. *crying* come now shhh shh, i swear this child has got it for me today.


Bow hothoof: I think she needs changing. Why don't I do that whilst you go and have a sleep? You look exhausted.


Windy whistles: yeah that's a really good idea. *goes upstairs to bed when she hears a voice at the door*


Rainbow: mummy?


Windy whistles: w-what? Oh it's you dashie what do you need sweetie?


Rainbow: I'm hungry.


Windy whistles: go and ask daddy for something to eat then I'm going to have a little sleep before grandma comes.


Rainbow: *sadly* ok mummy.


Ever since scootaloo had arrived it's all rainbows parents talked about. If they weren't taking care of the baby they were working or sleeping and rainbow was starting to feel left out.


*downstairs*


Bow was just finishing changing scootaloos nappy when he felt someone pull on his trouser leg.


Bow hothoof: what is it rainbow?


Rainbow: I'm hungry daddy mummy said you would get me something to eat.


Bow hothoof: ok baby. Let me just get your sister her milk then I'll get you something to eat as well.


Rainbow: ok daddy then can we play?


Bow hothoof: sure why not?


About 20 minutes past and rainbow had still not been fed her stomach growled so she decided she would get something herself. She new that her parents kept the macaroni cheese ( her favourite food) in the cupboard so she decided that's what she wanted. Rainbow tried to reach but realised she was too small, she then opened the fridge and sore there was a yogurt inside, it expired but since rainbow couldn't read yet she didn't know this. Then the door bell rang.


Spectrum: *sing song voice* I'm here!


Bow hothoof: yes spectrum I can see that. You don't need to shout though.


Spectrum: sorry now I'm just so excited to me my granddaughter. Where is she by the way?


Rainbow: I'm right here grandma!


Spectrum: *ruffles rainbows hair* oh yeah you. I was actually talking about my new granddaughter. *this caused rainbow to pout* where is she?


Bow hothoof: she's upstairs with windy. Why don't we go and say hello?


Rainbow: daddy I'm still hungry, and you said we could play.


Bow hothoof: we can't play right now sweetie grandmas here. We'll play later though ok?


Rainbow: *sadly* ok.


It been like this for a week, rainbow would ask her parents for something they said in a minute because they were dealing with the baby, but they always ended up forgetting about rainbow. She remembered how her parents told her that even when the new baby arrived they would still love her. Well it didn't feel like that. Rainbows stomach was now starting to hurt but it didn't feel like a hunger pain. All of a sudden she got the urge to throw up she tried to run to the bathroom but she wasn't quick enough. She threw up all over the kitchen floor she started to cry had she always hated being sick and it made her emotional as her stomach was really starting to cramp up. No one Heard her crying so she decided to go and get one of parents.


Rainbow: *sniffling* m-mummy?


Windy whistles: just a minute rainbow.


Rainbow: *quiet* mummy?


Windy whistles: I said just a minute.


Rainbow: *this time shouts* MUMMY!


Windy whistles: *shouts angrily* FOR GOODNESS SAKE RAINBOW DASH! I SAID JUST A MINUTE. YOU NEED TO LEARN TO WAIT, THERE IS A BABY IN THE HOUSE YOU KNOW!


Rainbows lip started to tremble her mother's shouting scared her.


Rainbow: *now sobbing* i wish we didn't have that stupid baby!


*time skip about 5 minutes*


Windy whistles: what have I done?


Spectrum: it'll be ok honey. Kids get like this when they have competition that's all this is.


Windy whistles: no this feels like something more than just sibling rivalry mum.


Bow hothoof: do you want me to go and talk to rainbow dash?


Windy whistles: no I'll do it.


Rainbow was laying on her bed cuddling tank, she kept crying about her parents don't love her anymore. And on top of all of that her stomach was still hurting. There was then a knock at the door.


Windy whistles: dashie can I come in? *no answer so she just went in*


She sore that rainbow was sobbing and decided to go over to her and lift her onto her lap, and started to gently rock her whilst stroking her hair.


Windy whistles: oh baby what's the matter?


Rainbow: *hiccuping* y-you a-and d-daddy d-don't l-love m-me a-any m-more!


Windy whistles: oh sweetie of course we do! I'm sorry we've just been so busy with the baby that sometimes we forget things. But that's not an excuse.


Rainbow just kept sobbing as windy held her close and kept rocking her.


Windy whistles: shhh shh shh, it's ok baby mummy's here shh.


As she kept rocking rainbow was getting the urge to throw up again. She couldn't hold it it and ended up being sick all over her self and windy.


Windy Whistles: oh baby!


Rainbow: *sobbing again* s-sorry m-mummy!


Windy whistles: no no it's ok baby shh. Does anything hurt dashie?


Rainbow: *whimpers* u uh. My tummy.


Windy then puts her hand against rainbows forehead and it to be a little warm.


Windy whistles: it feels like you might have a slight temperature baby. I'm going to get the thermometer ok?


Rainbow: ok mummy.


Windy took rainbows temperature and it was 38 degrees Celsius. ( I don't know what that is in Fahrenheit)


Windy whistles: come on baby let's get you in the bath to cool you down then I think someone needs an early night don't they?


Rainbow: *quietly* can we cuddle mummy?


Windy whistles: *chuckles* of course we can baby. Come on then. Did you throw up anywhere else dashie?


Rainbow: I-I was sick on the kitchen floor mummy. I'm sorry!


Windy whistles: no it's ok baby. I'll get daddy to clean it up. Have you had anything to eat?


Rainbow: * nods head* i had yogurt from the fridge mummy.


Windy whistles: *gasps* that yogurt was expired! I think that's why you've got a poorly tummy baby.


Rainbow: *getting sleepy* ok mummy.


Windy was stroking rainbows cheek.


Rainbow: *gasps* daddy said he would play with me!


Windy whistles: shhh I'm sure daddy will play with you tomorrow if your feeling better. Now go to sleep baby.


After 2 more rounds of throwing up rainbow was fast asleep in her mother's arms.  Windy looked down and smiled at the sleeping child and vowed that she would always pay attention to BOTH of her children.
