Chapter 19: Jamie Reassuring Rosita

Rosita sat on the bathroom floor and hugged herself, crying, until Norman peeked in.

"Hey, honey," he called, making her sniffle and wear a forced smile as she got up, then he asked, "Are you--y-you're sure, you know, you're not upset?"

"No. I-I'm good," Rosita said then requested politely as she ran her hand through the water in the bathtub, "Can I please just have the bathroom to myself for five minutes?"

"You got it," Norman said, closed the door, then yelled, "Alright kiddies. Go get your jammies on."

Jamie and Johnny, while on the couch with his arm around her, looked at Norman for any sign that Rosita really was okay, but he just shook his head, making Jamie sigh, as Johnny rubbed her arm reassuringly.

"I'm gonna talk to her when she's done in there," Jamie decided.

"Are you sure you can get her to open up?" Johnny wondered.

"She's done the same for me on many occasions. This won't match up to everything she's done for me since I came to live with her and the others, but she needs someone to let her know it really will be okay, even if she tells herself that when she doesn't believe it," she explained.

He smiled and kissed her before telling her, "You really are amazing."

"Thank you. You are too," Jamie said.

"Jamie," Norman called, getting both gorillas' attention, then Norman requested, "Could you help get the kids to bed?"

"You got it, Norm," Jamie saluted, making Johnny and Norman chuckle, then got up, telling Johnny, "Night."

"Night," he returned.

Jamie went and helped Norman get all 25 piglets ready for bed before hearing the bathroom door open. After saying good night to Norman, she went to see Rosita in her pajamas.

"Hey, Ro," Jamie called quietly.

"Yes?" Rosita wondered.

"Can I talk to you before you go to bed?" Jamie requested.

"Okay," Rosita nodded.

They went to Jamie's room and just sat down on her bed after shutting the door.

"So what's up?" Rosita wondered.

"Well, it's just us and you've done this for me a good bit, so I want to do the same for you," Jamie answered, breathed, then asked, "How are you really feeling after what happened today? And please don't say you're fine."

Rosita knew she couldn't hold in her emotions like this all the time. She released a tear before wiping it away.

"It's not great to have that happen. All because of a fear I didn't know I had. One thing that crossed my mind was that you and Johnny did something like this before when the other group was with us, but I also thought that was you guys, not me," Rosita explained.

"I know. Doing it then was still terrifying, but when I did it with Johnny, it was worth it. I know you're not doing it with Norman, but that feeling of flying, it's amazing," Jamie replied.

"I bet, but that leap is nerve-wracking," Rosita said.

Jamie wrapped an arm around her, hugging her, then responded, "I know, but you're Super-Mom. You'll make that jump one day."

Rosita smiled and said, "Thank you, Jamie."

"You're welcome," Jamie smiled then replied, "Now go get some sleep."

"Okay," Rosita nodded.

They said their good nights and Jamie went back into the main living area to see Johnny, sleeping on the couch. She smiled before going to him, pulling a blanket over him, then kissing his cheek.

"Night, love," she whispered before heading to bed herself.

Meanwhile, a valet was renting a car out to a customer.

"Thank you for choosing to drive with Royalty," the valet said, the customer drove off, then the valet waved, "Alright. Bye-bye."

Then Miss Crawly came back and the car was wrecked, shocking the valet.

"Oh hello, young sir. Um, oh yes, you'll be pleased to hear I did bring it back with a full tank," Miss Crawly assured.

Then the airbag came out, squeezing her against the seat.

A/N I really liked writing that scene with Jamie and Rosita. It was really touching. Also, I can't exaggerate enough of how I believe Rosita is Super-Mom. I'm so repetitive! Lol! Anyway, back to it.
