After a minute, Kaleb cleared his throat, getting their attention.
Simon walked to the bed and took her hand. “Baby, this is the surprise I was talking about.”
“You know them?” she whispered.
“Yes.”
“Are they nice?”
Aleena walked to the bed. “Hi, I’m Aleena, and I’m nice. These girls are, too. Well, Riley can be a pain in the as … butt sometimes.”
Simon watched Riley gasp. “That is not true.”
Brylee snorted. “Really, Riley?”
Aleena pointed to her. “That’s Brylee, and the other one is Kinley.”
“I’m Casey.”
“It’s nice to meet you,” Kinley said. “My daddy told me you had an accident?”
Casey nodded. “Yes. A man came around a curve, and I guess he didn’t see me and pushed me over the edge.”
All four girls gasped, and a few had tears in their eyes.
“Did you pee your pants?” Riley asked. “I would have.”
Cassey shook her head. “I don’t think so.”
Kinley placed a sack on the bed by her feet. “We broughta few things.”
Simon watched the confusion on Casey’s face until the little dumped clothing on top of the blanket, and then her expression turned to excitement.
“What is this?” Casey asked as she fingered one of the shirts.
“Our daddies said you needed something to wear, and we have so many clothes, and we wanted to meet you, so here we are,” Riley said and threw out her hands dramatically.
The men grinned as the girls started talking at the same time. They were all so animated,he could have watched them all day.
Simon looked over at Trent and saw the wistful look in his eyes. He patted his back. “You’ll find your own little, man.”
Trent nodded. “I hope so.”
Simon turned back to the girls and saw they had picked an outfit out of the pile of clothing. He grinned when the girls wanted to dress her in front of the guys. The littles he knew weren’t modest. They couldn’t be because their daddies liked to show them off.
Casey glanced at him with wide eyes.
He walked to her and put a hand on her shoulder. “Would you like me to take you in the bathroom and help you dress?”
He grinned at the blush on her face.
“Um. No. Can they help me?”
“Of course. Girls, would you help Casey into the bathroom and get her dressed?”
The four girls clapped and practically lifted Casey off the bed and dragged her into the bathroom.
Simon was surprised that all five could fit in the small room together. He heard some knocks and thuds against the door and a lot of giggling, but it seemed to work. He was surprised to hear the shower. He heard the girls gush about howpretty Casey’s hair was, and he could just imagine her face.
