Daddy's Love

CHAPTER 12 - REALITY CHECK

I go downstairs and Jay is waiting for me in the living room with two beers.

"When are you taking Ana to the doctors?"

"What the fuck is your problem!?" I ask him, totally annoyed.

He just stares at me, trying not to be mad. I know because his eyes go red, and then after some time,

back to his normal black.

"The fuck is your problem, Grey? You know you have to take her? There is no way out! The sooner you

do it, the better!" He says.

I chug down my beer. I know he is right, but I don't want to take Ana to the doctor. Not yet.

"You know how it was with Carol.... "

I flinch. I don't need a reminder.

"Let's take her tomorrow?" He offers.

"You'll come with me?" I ask him, slightly surprised.

"Of course. I mean if you want me to. "

"But she is going to hate you after."

"You bet. But it's better for us to just do it and get it over with. Trust me." He tries to console me.

After we play video games for half an hour and I feel a little better.

We decide to take some cookies for our girls and play with them upstairs.

We go upstairs and open the room to find both the girls giggling.

They are painting and there are colours all over them, their faces too.

They both are us and freeze and hide their hands behind their backs.

They look adorable. I try not to smile.

"What are you girls up to?" Jay asks and we sit in front of them with a plate of cookies.

"Painting Uncle J." Ana says showing him his hands shyly.

"You want some cookies?" Jay asks Ana.

Ana looks at Carol and she grins back. I pick Carol up and feed her cookies. I look at Ana; she looks

fine, not a tad bit jealous.

"Yes, please." She smiles at Jay then looks at me. I smile at her encouragingly.

Jay starts feeding her. "You like Cookies bub?" He asks her.

"Everything sweet." She says.

"Both of you, dolls are going for your naptime after cookies, okay?" I tell them both.

They whine together.

"No whining sweethearts. You can wake up and then continue playing after lunch. Sounds good?" I ask

them.

After they are done with their cookies, J picks Carol up, and changes her diaper which is wet.

"Carol, you have to tell daddy when you've wet your diaper so that daddy can change you into fresh

ones. This is the third time, in this week, I am telling you this. You don't want to be spanked for this, do

you?" He scolds her mildly.

"No daddy, sowie." Carol makes a pouty face.

"It's okay baby, all done. Let's tuck you down for your nap now." He kisses her.

After, I carry Ana to the changing table but her diaper is still dry and loose. She has tried taping it back

but couldn't very well.

"Ana, you used the toilet and not your diaper?" I ask her.

She shakes her head but bites her lips.

"Are you lying to daddy?" I ask her, trying to be a little stern.

She just looks at me wide eyed, scared.

"Ana, lying is a big no no. Okay? You always have to tell daddy the truth, even if it's very hard, even if

you are scared of being punished. Trust me, it will save us both a lot of trouble, and you will save your

additional punishment for lying." I tell her.

"Now, did you use the toilet?"

"Yes daddy." She whispers. She looks over to Jay and Carol.

Carol is already falling asleep and Jay does a good job of pretending that he doesn't hear one thing we

are talking about.

"Good girl, for being so brave and telling daddy the truth. No punishment for you this time." I kiss her on

her cheek, pick her up and lay her near Carol.

Two hours later, we are done with lunch and Carol and Ana are painting again and we are sitting with

them, enjoying their innocence. We observe the girls talking.

"You painted such a beautiful elephant, Ana!" Carol says sweetly.

"It’s like the stuffie I have. I can name him yet. Can you help me, pwease?"

"I will think about it and call you once I come up with the best name, everrrr!"

"What is your favourite stuffy?"

"Oh, I have a pink dinosaur. But it's really cute and not scary at all!"

"Hey, I have a drawing of a friendly dinosaur back home. I will give it to you when I go back by the end

of the month." Ana tells Carol.

Jay looks like he is about to have a heart attack for a minute.

"Christian, would you like to come down for a minute, please?" He asks me, sarcastically.

He dashes downstairs. I follow him, at a leisurely human pace.

The girls continue playing. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

He is fuming. His eyes are red.

"Why does Ana think that she is going back by the end of the month?" He asks me sweetly.

I gulp.

“I might’ve told her that she will.” I answer, slightly ashamed of myself.

"Are you fucking out of your mind? Really Grey! Why would you fuck her up like that? Give her false

hopes! And what are you going to tell her when the month ends?!"

"daddddyyyyyyyyyy" we hear the girls shout from upstairs.

“Coming my darlingssss”. I shout back. glad to have to go back up and save myself the wrath of Jay.

He is right though. I will tell Ana that she is not going back the next chance I get.

We go back upstairs to our girls.

By the end of the day Ana has Jay wrapped around in her little finger and both the girls got along so

well that they promised us to let them on for a play date sometime this week.

"Tomorrow, at 8. I'll take the appointment." Jay tells me quietly before leaving.
