She was really going to do this, wasn’t she?
“You’re going to be okay. I’ll be outside with the other Daddies to give you guys privacy, but if you need me, just call my name out,” Daddy told her.
Frankie’s eyes went wide as she stared at him. “You aren’t going to be with me?” Her voice was high-pitched.
“No, I think it would be best to meet them without me. I know it’s scary, but you are going to do amazing,” Daddy gently said as the doorbell rang again. “Let’s go to the front door together.”
But Frankie didn’t get up. She didn’t know if her legs were going to be able to hold her up.
“Or how about you sit here. I’ll let the girls in and then leave the room,” Daddy offered.
Frankie opened her mouth, getting ready to tell Daddy she wanted the first part, but she didn’t want him to leave when the doorbell rang a third time.
Daddy chuckled and shook his head. “I’ll go get the door and let them in. If you need anything, call for me or tell one of the girls to come get me, and I’ll be right there.”
Before she could respond, Daddy got up and walked to the front door, leaving her alone in the living room with her nervesand Lita. Her eyes were trained on the front door as Daddy opened it.
“Hello,” Daddy greeted the girls. “She’s in the living room. Head in and to your left.”
Daddy didn’t even turn around as he walked out the door, leaving two women in front of her. Where had they come from?
“Hi, I’m Echo, and this is Rainey.” They both smiled at her.
CHAPTER 12
FRANKIE
Frankie took a shaky breath in as she stared at both of them.
“Hi,” she whispered. “I’m Fr-Frankie.”
“Oh, we know who you are. Ever since Halloween, we have been dying to meet you!” Echo sat on the ground, Rainey following her.
“I wasn’t there, but once the girls told me about you, I just knew we had to be friends,” Rainey added.
Frankie didn’t know what to say to them. She had only recently heard about them and who they were. Even though she saw them at Halloween, Daddy had just said there were other Littles at the door and not their names.
“Ummm..” Frankie held Lita closer to her, squeezing her half to death.
She was going to have to apologize to Lita when they were gone.
“What’s your stuffie called?” Rainey asked. “I have one at home. Tootsie is a leopard. Echo has Jingles, who is a Koala.”
“Lita,” Frankie whispered.
“Lita is such a good name!” Echo nodded. “So are Tootsie and Jingles. Sadly, Jingles doesn’t actually jingle. I asked Daddy if Icould put a necklace around Jingles that would help him jingle, but Daddy didn’t want that.”
Echo was pouting as she looked out the window.
“Why?” Frankie asked. “Why didn’t he want him to Jingle?”
“Something about it being disruptive, and whenever I sleep with Jingles, it would keep us both up at night.” Echo rolled her eyes. “Valid point, but we could take it off before we went to bed.”
“Would you remember to do that, though?” Rainey asked. “I know I wouldn’t, or I would get too tired of doing it every single night, and I would accidentally leave it on, and then we would both be cranky in the morning with a baby.”
“Baby?” Frankie’s eyebrows pulled together.
“Yeah, Daddy and I have a six-month-old,” Rainey replied. “He’s not biologically his, but Daddy is the dad of my baby. He’s our kid.”
