Page 43 of Daddy's Little Surprise

Daddy wrapped his arms around her and just held her close to him. She took a deep breath and relaxed into Daddy.

“Grace just wants to make sure everything is okay. She wants you to behealthy and thriving. She wasn’t sending the pictures with malicious intent, she was sending them to keep me updated that you were taking care of yourself.”

She would have realized that if she had been thinking clearly and not letting shock take over.

“I’m sorry.”

“There’s no need to be sorry. You didn’t do anything wrong.”

Rainey didn’t know how long they stayed in this position. She loved feeling his arms wrapped around her. They made her feel safe, secure, and loved. Something she hadn’t felt in a long time. Now she was feeling it almost daily.

“Let’s sit down so we can eat lunch. I bet you’re hungry.”

She was hungry but didn’t know if she would be hungry for whatever he’d brought. His food seemed to be good and did not make her sick. Hopefully they could continue the trend.

“I brought homemade chicken with pasta. The chicken has some spices on it but it’s not super spicy. If you can’t eat it or don’t like it, I did bring some plain chicken, too.”

There he was, being so thoughtful. What did she do to deserve him? Absolutely nothing. He was too good for her.

“Thank you,” she whispered.

“Anytime. I love doing this for you.”

Rainey sat on the couch, and Daddy sat on her office chair right in front of her. He opened several containers and forked some food before bringing it up to her. She reached for the fork, but Daddy pulled it back.

“Let Daddy feed you.”

“I can feed myself here.”

“Nope. Daddy is going to do it. If we were home, you would be in a highchair and I would be feeding you soft foods and a bottle.”

Rainey wiggled in her seat. The idea of being fed by Daddy in a highchair excited her. She wanted to do that, to try that.

“I promise we’ll do that when we get home. You won’t have to wait long.”

She smiled and relaxed. She honestly could not wait to get home so they could do it. Would she be able to do this when the baby came? Was she going to have to stop being Little? Put it on hold until her baby grew up and was out of the house?

Her smile dropped as she thought about those questions. She was so excited to finally have a baby of her own, but she was worried. Being a Little was part of her, and she didn’t want to let that go. It helped calm her when she was super stressed. How was she going to de-stress if she couldn’t do what helped her relax?

“What’s wrong?” Daddy asked as he fed her a mouthful of food.

“It’s nothing.”

But maybe she should bring it up to Daddy. It also affected him since he was the Daddy, but what if he told her they should stop now so she didn’t get used to it? It would break her heart, and Rainey didn’t know if she was prepared for that.

“It’s not nothing. That’s unacceptable. Communication is important. I can’t read your mind.” Daddy gave her a pointed look. “The girls texted me saying they were worried about you before they left. Is that what you’re thinking about?”

Rainey shook her head. “It was different.”

“Let’s talk about both of them.”

Which one was better to talk about first? If she talked about being worried about Little Time, it could result in him telling her they should stop until their baby had grown up. She didn’t want that. But the other option was telling him about her seeing her ex. Was she ready to talk about that?

“You’re okay. You’re in a safe place. I’m not going to judge you. But something is bothering you. I want to help.”

“I thought I saw my ex, but it couldn’t be possible. He was standing right next to Echo’s man. Or I think he’s her man. But my ex doesn’t know where I live. I didn’t tell him.”

She figured since the girls told him they were worried about her, she should talk about that. Even if she didn’t really want to, she didn’t know what the girls had told Daddy. They could have said she thought she saw someone she knew, and Monroe could have mentioned her terrified look.
