Oliver sighed into the phone. “I wish I were there to help you, Daddy. I don’t want you to be in pain.”

“I’ll be okay, little one. I’ve got a lunch session scheduled for tomorrow, and then I’ll try to change my flight and head home early. I’ve done what I need to do here.”

“Isn’t there another talk tomorrow night that you wanted to attend?”

“Yeah, but I don’t think I’ll make it. I just need to get back to you. I’ll try again next year. By then, maybe I’ll have figured out how to make the damn pump work.” I chuckled, trying to lighten the mood. “Or we can plan a road trip so I don’t have to leave you behind ever again.”

“I’m sorry I’m not there, Daddy. I hate that you need me and my silly fears are keeping me away.”

“No, baby. Your fears aren’t silly, and you are not responsible for me. I take care of you, remember? This is my problem to deal with, and I don’t want you to worry about me at all. Just enjoy your toys. I’ll try to be home before bedtime tomorrow night.”

OLIVER

I let out a long sigh after I ended the call with Daddy. He was so smart and always knew what I needed, but when it came to what he needed, he was a big dummy.

Daddy was wrong. While it was his job to take care of me, it was also my job to care for him. Daddies sometimes needed help too, and I couldn't just ignore him when he needed me.

Of course, I was going to worry about him. I loved him, and I no longer cared if it was too soon to admit that. We may not have known each other for very long, but the bond we had was stronger than anything I'd ever felt before. I couldn't just sit there knowing Daddy needed me, because I needed him too.

I tried playing with my toys and reading the books he got for me, but it just wasn't the same without him. I missed him so much. I just wanted to curl up in his lap, wrap my lips around his perfect buds, and drink the pain away.

Thankfully, Daddy had sent me the information for the hotel he was staying at in case I needed it. So, I went online and quickly booked a flight. I found a super early flight so I could arrive at the hotel later in the morning.

The idea of flying made my body shake and my chest tighten, but then I thought about Daddy and how it felt to be wrapped up in his arms and how cherished he made me feel. My thumb crept up to my mouth, and I opened up, allowing the rhythmic motion to soothe my nerves.

I took deep breaths through my nose as I sucked my thumb, wanting so badly to feel the warmth of Daddy's milk gliding over my tongue. Everything was going to be okay. I was going to be brave, and then I would get to see Daddy.

Being apart from him made me realize how complete I felt when we were together. Suddenly, my fears of flying paled in comparison to the urge I felt to tell Daddy how much I loved him. I never wanted to leave his side again.

I stifled a yawn as I arrived at the hotel. My extremely early flight meant I only got four hours of sleep. Oh well, losing sleep to conquer my fears and see my Daddy was more than worth it. I made my way inside and headed to Daddy’s room.

My phone vibrated in my pocket as I arrived at his door. I pulled it out, smiling when I saw it was him.

Good morning, little one. I hope you slept well. I’ll try to be home soon. I miss holding my sweet boy in my arms.

Tears threatened to spill down my cheeks. I loved how open he was with his feelings. It made me even more sure that I had to tell him how I felt. My knock echoed down the quiet hall as I shifted my feet, anxiously waiting to be back in his arms.

“Hello, can I?—”

My legs moved on their own as soon as the door opened, launching myself into Daddy’s arms.

“Oof.” He stumbled back slightly as I crashed into him, his arms instantly wrapping around me.

“Ollie, sweetheart. You’re here. Are you okay?” The concern and care in his voice brought all my feelings barreling to the surface, overwhelming me.

I lost the battle with my tears and my voice was shaky as I spoke. “I-I did it, Daddy. I faced my fears to come see you.” I buried my face into his shirtless chest, inhaling his scent as I cried sobs of relief. Nothing felt better than being in Daddy’s arms. He was perfect, and I wanted him to be mine forever.

“You flew here?”

I nodded against his chest. My big thoughts started to slip away because the comfort of being wrapped in Daddy's arms made me feel safe to let go.

“Baby, that's amazing. I’m so proud of you. But why are you here, did something happen?”

“I missed you so much, Daddy. I needed to see you. I have something very important to tell you.”

Daddy’s arms tightened around me as he nuzzled his cheek against my head. “Oh, my sweet boy, I missed you too. Let's go inside so you can sit in my lap, and we can talk.”
