Bridget couldn't help but blush as she looked up at the bright blue sky. Being in the cave and stuck in the spider's webbing made her long to get out of the place.. though admittedly she wanted it in any way other than how she got.

"Ahuhuhu, it's such a lovely warm day out, my dear. I'm glad Mommy got you into some comfy clothes for such a warm day."

The bee grimaced a bit hearing the spider's words. In her current position, she couldn't see her outfit fully but she remembered waking up from the nap and being dressed in the horrid thing.

The adventurous little bee found themselves staring at her doting new ‘Mommy’ holding a pearlescent silky looking sundress, complete with frills and a bouncy petticoat. She was squeezed into it, her diaper being changed from the soaked naptime one into a fresh webbing diaper, along with some booties freshly spun as she watched.

With that, she found herself shimmering in the pink pram barely fitting in as her legs stuck out of the front. As she was pushed along a trail, under the warm sun, the bee wriggled and squirmed with a webbed pacifier stuck into her mouth, being told that little ones as small as her should be seen and not heard.

Grumbling as she felt the bright sun shining down on her, she widened her eyes as she suddenly started to hear more voices around her. The tops of buildings came into view as the pram was pushed into the nearby town. That's when the cooing started, Bridget watching as different bugs, a few she recognized, came up to the pram and cooed at her. She noted the balloons and banners around; there was apparently some form of festival going on.

"Oh goodness what an adorable baby bee! How old is she?"

The motherly pill bug reached a hand in, patting Bridget's bonneted head as she grumbled more, the spider responding.

"She is quite a little handful that's for sure but they all are at this age, ahuhuhu~ She's almost 1, the poor little thing thought she was so big too."

After that embarrassing display, Bridget felt herself being pushed once again, seeing the buildings move. Before long she felt the cool air conditioning and soon found herself staring up at a rather ornate ceiling.

“Yes dearie, I’m here to see the mayor. Is he in?”

Bridget’s antennae twitched a bit as she heard a familiar voice answer; it was the voice of the moth boy from before, though he sounded different, his voice seemed to be shaking.. was he scared?

“Y-Yes Miss of course, for you he’ll clear his schedule.. go right on in.”

With the pram pushed back into the familiar room of the mayor’s office, Bridgette could hear he was talking somewhat angrily with someone. Twitching her antennae a bit, she listened closer.

“I understand that they are upset about their lost loved ones, at this point there was nothing I could do. The sacrifices were sent accordingly.. they will be for the greater good of the town, I can assure you and they’ll be returned to us as a bountiful harvest this ye-”

He stopped suddenly, presumably seeing his new guest enter the room, the door closing as he spoke hoarsely into the phone.

“Take care of it, something’s come up. Don’t call me for a little while.”

Hearing the click of the phone hitting the receiver, the Mayor turned directly to the spider, his voice shaking a bit, though he remained stoic sounding, stealing a glance at the bee adventurer he just sent off the day before.

“What the hell are you doing here? We had the agreement that you were not to enter the town! Do you want to cause an uproar?!”

Bridgette felt the pram seize up as it was locked. She saw her ‘Auntie’ walk to the desk, standing at her full height towering over him. She spoke calmly and cooly, though with an air in her voice that his tone was not appreciated.

“You seem to have forgotten your place in this arrangement my dear hopper. I am the one in control here; you’ve sent me many fine morsels to keep me satiated but this last one is delectable on a whole new level. We are altering the deal.


Speaking this, the spider grinned as she cracked her knuckles, now staring right into the Mayor’s eyes, gazing right into his soul.

“You are to still supply me with food but not with more of your people. Your hunters are to leave a portion of their catches by my dwelling. Furthermore, I am allowed trips into town with my little one here. I will need supplies and things for her as well just as any baby would need. If you do this, I will protect your town as I always have.. do we have a deal?”

The grasshopper looked between the two, a bit shaken but now smirked at the bee before nodding.

“I.. do believe that can be more than arranged.”

With a giggle and a smile, the spider turned to the bee, leaning down into the pram to her. Looking into the bee’s eyes, not noting the fear in the captive woman’s eyes as she chittered happily.

“You hear that my beautiful little bay-bee? You are gonna be mommy’s baby girl for quite a long time, ahuhuhu~”

In the next coming months, the town would become known far and wide for their multitude of harvests. The crops as well as the different general goods sent out continued to be the best available and eventually they included all sorts of pinks and silks, adding to their income while leading to large economical booms.

Through it all sat Bridget, in a pram, a highchair, a stroller, a chest carrier; whatever else the spider woman spun up for her. She lived the rest of her adventuring days being the baby of the most famous seamstress in all the lands and despite her situation..

..she was happy.
