***NEW DAY***
*Rebecca sat on a blanket while the children played happily nearby, shrieking with delight over bugs and worms they'd found.*

*Rudolf sat with Becca, watching the antics of the children as they tumbled all over the place.*
“Careful, Violetta—” he warned as his eldest daughter almost wound up in a mud puddle.

*Carolina scrambled to keep up with her siblings, tripping over her own feet as her chubby little legs ran their hardest to keep pace with the older children, her small voice calling out after them, lisping sweetly.*
"Wait! Letty--oof!" *she got to her feet, her crisp dress covered in green grass smears.* "Wait for meeee!"

"Slowpoooooooke!" Came the voice of one of her brothers from farther ahead.
"Be nice to your little sister." Rudolf called out.

((Omg. Rudolf is such a DAD.
...that should not be hot.))
"THTEFAAAAAN!" *she wailed as even her adored oldest brother tore on ahead. Her little chin quivered and her eyes filled with tears as the other children disappeared around the corner of a hedge. Running after them, she stopped at the crossing of several paths, unable to see them and not quite knowing which way to go.*

"Carolina," Rudolf called out.
"Come here, sweetheart..."

*Carolina wandered slowly back towards her parents, dragging her feet a little as she rubbed her eyes, hiccuping a little as great tears continued to roll down her chubby cheeks. She plopped onto the blanket and the whole story came tumbling out amidst hitching sobs and more hiccups.*
"...an' den dey wan awaaaay..." *she sniffled.*

“I know, that wasn’t very nice of them,” Rudolf said, gently brushing away the tears.
“But you were nice, and you know what that means?”

*She shook her head solemnly, staring up at her father as she was cuddled.*

"You get an extra bedtime story."

"--REALLY?" *Carolina gaped at her father.* "...just for me?" *A small, shy smile was starting to creepy across her tear-streaked face.*

*Rebecca watched them both with a smile, her hands busy with some sewing.*
"It had better be a good one, too, Rudolf," *she said with a laugh.*

"Absolutely! Any one you want."

"Cinderella it is." He said, nodding.
"And we can finish Snow White."
