It had a variety of products, from a limited grocery selection as well as some hardware, fishing and camping gear, and evenhunting supplies. There were toys and various odds and ends. It was old school, too, with open barrels full of all kinds of candy.

But once Joe unlocked the door that led to the back room, the true magic was revealed.

“Wowzers!” Alyssa exclaimed, her eyes growing wide as her brain tried to process everything she was seeing.

There were more toys, lots of stuffies, and tons of cute outfits. There was even a section of adult diapers and other items Littles such as Belinda might need.

For Alyssa, the place was a dream come true.

“That’s the prettiest dress I’ve ever seen!” she said, rushing to a pink frilly outfit that hung on a nearby rack. “Ooh! And this pajama set.” It was a pink tank top and little shorts. The shirt said DADDY’S ANGEL. Across the booty of the shorts was simply the word ANGEL in the same white script.

“They’re super cute,” Mindy agreed.

“You going to get them?” Janie asked.

“Well, I’m sorta watching funds,” Alyssa replied sheepishly. “It’s all good. They probably don’t have fat girl sizes, anyway.”

“Whoa there, missy,” Quinn said sharply. “Remember. It’s in your best interest to watch your little mouth.”

Alyssa was in shock. She had no doubt the man meant every word of the warning. He’d spank her bottom for sure.

He softened a bit, though, and said, “But don’t worry about the money. I’d love to spoil you.”

“You don’t have to do that,” she protested.

“I know. I want to. You’re my guest. Let me show you some good ol’ Oklahoma hospitality.” He followed the statement up with a wink.

She didn’t voice it, but it felt good to have someone spoiling her. And a hot, sexy Daddy no less!

The other women came alongside her, eager to help her make her selections.

“You have to go for those PJs, right?” Mindy wondered aloud.

“I sure do,” Alyssa confirmed. “And that dress is awfully cute.”

“You’d look adorable in it,” Janie said.

“Belinda, what do you think I should get?” Alyssa asked.

Belinda had a pacifier stuck between her lips, but it stayed in place as she smiled and pointed to the dress.

“I think that’s a good choice. Would you help me pick out a new stuffie?” Alyssa asked, eager to include the younger Little.

Belinda happily waddled toward the collection of plush dolls and began looking them over. A moment later, she handed Alyssa a giraffe.

“I love it! What should I name him?” Alyssa asked.

Belinda took the pacifier from her mouth and said, “Umm. What about Jerry? Jerry the Giraffe.”

The Littles all giggled.

“He looks like a Jerry,” Alyssa agreed, hugging the doll. “Jerry it is.”

“Do you want any coloring books and things like that?” Quinn asked. “I have a few things at my place for Littles, but maybe not enough to keep you occupied until Grace gets home.”

“I don’t want to spend too much money,” she answered, suddenly feeling guilty.

“That’s not an issue,” Joe said.
