She didn't know what else to say because while she was excited to meet Charlotte, she was more nervous than anything.

“Charlotte, what did I say about opening doors without looking through the peephole?” the man who she guessed was Finn said again.

Charlotte rolled her eyes. “Not to open the door without looking through the peephole. But, Daddy, I knew it was them.”

Monroe gripped her Daddy's arm tighter as she watched everything unfold in front of her. She didn't know how to react or if she should react at this point. This was her first time meeting another Little but also one who had a Daddy.

“Do not roll your eyes at me,” Finn said. “And just because you know it was them doesn't mean you can just open the door without looking through first. I want you safe and you not following that rule could put you in danger. What would happen if it was a robber that decided to come to our house right before Michael and Monroe were supposed to come? What then?”

“No robber would come in the middle of the day when they know we're home. I knew it was Mr. Michael and Monroe. Nobody was hurt,” Charlotte whined.

Monroe moved her hands to her bottom and clenched. Charlotte was going to have a sore bottom before they got to play, if they still got to play together. She could remember just the other day when Daddy had spanked her for drawing on the wall, screaming at the top of her lungs as she was singing, and for jumping on the couch.

“No buts. You're going to get spanked and then you can go play with Monroe,” Finn said before he looked over at Monroe. “It's so nice to meet you, Monroe. I'm Finn, Charlotte's Daddy, and I'm so excited that you two get to play with each other. But first, sadly, Charlotte and I need to have a little chat about opening the door without checking through the peephole first. Once we're finished, you two can go play and get to know each other.”

Monroe blinked several times trying to comprehend everything he had just said. He was excited they got to play with each other. She had never heard anybody say that before. Granted, she hadn't interacted with many people so maybe this was normal.

“Do you want us to wait in the car while you spank Charlotte?” Daddy asked.

“No, you can come in and make yourselves comfortable. We're going to go to her playroom,” Finn said.

Charlotte sighed and grabbed onto her Daddy's hand as they made their way through the house. Daddy put his hand on Monroe's back and nudged her until she stepped into the house.

She looked around as they walked to the living room. Everything was simple and there wasn't a lot of color in the house. It was almost like they didn't live in the house. There were no pictures on the walls or anything personal.

“They like to keep the house relatively simple so if his side of the family comes, they don't have to rearrange everything. Her nursery, though, is very colorful and you're going to love it,” Daddy explained as she continued to look around the house.

He sat down and brought her down on his lap. She squirmed a little, not liking being on his lap in somebody else's house. What if they thought it was weird?

“Nobody's going to think it's weird that you're sitting on my lap in this house,” Daddy assured her, apparently reading her mind. “Charlotte sits on her Daddy's lap all the time. You don't have to be afraid to be yourself in this house or at home.”

She relaxed a little but froze up again when she heard Charlotte start to scream and cry.

“Is she okay? Is he really hurting her that bad? Do I need to go save her?” Monroe rushed out as she started to push against Daddy's arms.

She needed to save Charlotte before Finn hurt her too much and she ended up in the same position Monroe was in.

“Charlotte is okay. Her Daddy is giving her just what she needs and yes, it hurts right now but if it really hurts that bad and she couldn't handle it, she would say her safe word. She's okay,” Daddy said as he held tightly to her.

“But-”

“No buts. In all honesty, Charlotte probably had it coming. She probably did something before we came that put her on thin ice about getting a punishment. Ever since I met her and they've been living together, she's come out of her shell around him and has started to explore her naughty side.”

Daddy turned her around so she was facing him.

“Which reminds me. No doing things you're not allowed. I don't want to have to punish you in front of Charlotte, but I will if you break a rule.”

Monroe wouldn’t even think about doing something like that. She especially didn't want to get punished in front of Charlotte. That would be so embarrassing and she didn't know if she could handle that.

“No problem, Daddy,” she whispered. “I don't plan on getting in trouble today.”

There was the keyword; today. Monroe couldn't promise she wouldn't get in trouble a couple of days from now or sometime in the near future.

Daddy chuckled and held her tightly against him and kissed her head.

“Oh, I don't doubt you'll get in trouble sometime soon,” he said.

Before she could respond to that, she heard footsteps coming closer to the living room. She turned her head and watched as Charlotte walked into the room with a tear-streaked face, her Daddy right behind her.
