Story: Ari walked into her little cousin's nursery while the adults chatted in the kitchen. She had been warned that Gem wasn't feeling well but she still wanted to see her. Gem was sitting on the floor pouting throwing her toys at the wall, or trying to anyway, her short stubby baby arms only got most of em a foot away at best. She looked up hearing someone come in, as Ari walked over and sat by her side. "Can I play too?" she asked. Gem just crammed a block in her mouth she didn't feel much like playing, the medicine her mommy had given her had helped but the feelings of earlier still left her in a bad mood. Ari took this as a no and offered "How about a story?". The little squirrel's eyes grew wide. A story? She loved stories tons. Ari patted her lap signalling gem to climb onto it. Gem crawled onto the bigger cubs lap still chowing her block, grub, her stuffed caterpillar in her other paw. "How about I tell you the story of how I met someone very special?" Ari offered. Gem nodded her mind wandering through anyone she thought might be special that her big cousin could have met, The cookie monster?, Santa?, the tooth fairy?. Gem's thought's quieted as Ari began her story. "I was only four years old. I had come home from pre-k and Mama took me over to here. Back then, the last time I had seen this room it'd been full of boxes an stuff an Aunt Nikol had been all big." "Mama! the little squirrel called out hearing her mother's name. Ari nodded "uh huh yoor mama but before she was yoor mama, When we got here she let us in an the first thing I noticed was she looked lots tinier, still tons bigger than me though. She led us into this room and it was all pretty like it was now...but cleaner." Gem giggled knowing she was the cause of the mess and feeling just a bit proud of it. "It had all kinds of baby stuff like a crib and a changing table. I was real confused cause it was all stuff for a much smaller baby than yoor sisters an brothers are. Yoor moomy went over to the crib and took out what looked like a tiny plushie till it started to move. It was you." Gem giggled and clapped. "Your mommy introduced us to you an asked if my mama wanted to hold you. I jumped up an rose my hand tellin her I did, so she had me wash my paws good an sit down then she put you in my arms showin me how to hold you. Yoo weren't much taller than a barbie doll cept for your tail, if was nearly as big as you," She looked Gem's tail as the squirrel curled up against her the block now replaced with her thumb as she looked up at Ari. "Still is" She continued. "It tickled my leg as I adjusted to make sure you were safe. I was kinda nervous but I knew it was ok cuz yoor mama was helping support your head and showin me what to do. I loved yoo right away, you were so sweet soft and gentle and so little. You stayed in my arms for a while before yoor mama had to take you to give yoo your bottle, I wanted to try feedin you but they said I was too little. Now I'm big enough though. I came to see you as often as I could after that, still do and always will." She told the baby squirrel who was already asleep in her lap gently petting the back of Gemma's head. "Nini Gem, I wuv you cuz" She whispered kissing her baby cousin on the forehead as she drifted farther into sleep prepared to sit there until she woke up, hopefully feeling better.

I drew this just cause I really wanted to, and tried to put as much effort in as I could even with shading and background. (I think it worked cuz even on the sketch alone I was tearing up looking at it, which is part of why it took so long, like three days, normally art takes a few hours for me)
The story was added since Gem hasn't been feeling well and since I can't do anything to really help it was the best I could try to make her feel better.

Owns her character who is not actually related to mine I hope it's alright I called you Aunty once to make sense of the families with Gem as my cousin, if you want that removed let me know I'll remove the word aunty, the line doesn't flow as well without it but I understand completely if you don't want it there.

Oh and yes that's me at four so I'm dressed how I did around when I actually met Gem (online) I still own that dress butvas the time it was my favorite Irl it's more of an orangey pink but that didn't work well with the rug color and I like this color better. The head band, I used to wear ones like that all the time a few years ago cause I was obsessed with Matilda and she wear a red headband like that.
This is my new favoritest thing I ever drawn Imma make it my featured.
