CHAPTER THREE

RAINEY

The first thing Rainey noticed as she woke up was the annoying beeping sound. What was that? She didn’t have an alarm that made that noise, so what could it be?

She took a coupleof seconds to think before she opened her eyes. The beeping was really annoying and constant, almost like a heart monitor. The second thing she noticed was how warm her hand was. Somebody was definitely holding it.

But who?

Rainey tried to move her hand, but she groaned in pain as her body protested.

“You’re okay. Everything is all right,” a deep voice soothingly said.

Her eyes shot open as she moved her head to the right, where the voice came from. Sitting right next to her, holding her hand, was the man who’d held her hair back as she puked.

“Wh-what?” she hoarsely spoke, completely confusedabout why he was sitting next to her, holding her hand, and why she was in a bed.

“Let me get you some water real quick,” he let go of her hand.

Rainey watched as he grabbed a cup and poured some water into it. She took this time to quickly glance around the room to figure out where she was. The room was white, bare, and had a disinfectant smell she was just realizing.

Her eyes went wide as she quickly looked to her left, where the machine was beeping. A heart machine was hooked up to her. She looked down at her arm, saw the IV, and shuddered.

“You’re okay. The baby is too,” the man gently said.

She looked back at him. “Wh-why?”

“You don’t need to stress. Daddy’s here. He’s going to take care of you. The doctor said you were dehydrated, stressed, and need some food.”

She completely skipped over him calling himself Daddy. There was no way he could know she was a Little. She hadn’t told anybody since she’d arrived in town.

Rainey groaned at the mention of food.

“What’s wrong?”

She shook her head. “I don’t want to eat because I end up throwing it back up. No matter how hungry I am, the baby just doesn’t like food.”

She had tried so many times with all different kinds of food. Bland, flavorful, a mix of both, and each time it ended the same. One thing she knew she could eat was buttered toast in the morning, but she couldn’t survive off that herwhole pregnancy. Rainey knew she needed a well-balanced diet, and she wasn’t getting it.

“Maybe you haven’t been eating the right things,” he suggested.

“I’ve tried almost everything. Buttered toast in the morning is the only thing I can really eat.”

Part of her was offended that he thought she hadn’t been trying. She wasn’t a bad mother. She was doing the best she could under the circumstances she had.

She didn’t ask to be sick almost every day. She didn’t ask not to be able to eat. Rainey loved food.

“I’m not saying you haven’t tried. I’m not trying to make it seem like you haven’t done anything. I have no doubt you have been trying different things,” he calmly said.

Her eyes went wide. How did he know what she was thinking?

“It was written all over your face. The one time you did speak aloud, the offense was all over your face. That’s okay. I’m sorry it came off that way. But Daddy is here now, and he’s going to help you with this.”

Rainey’s mouth hung open as he called himself Daddy again.

“Thought I misheard the first time, but you just called yourself Daddy again. How did you know?”

She thought she had kept it well enough hidden. She had only let her Little side out after everybody was gone and she was alone in her office. But even then, she didn’t like being Little because she had nobody to watch over her. Sometimes, she was very Little and needed supervision, and other times,she was big enough to still take care of herself. It used to be a stress reliever for her.
