“That I needed to be a good girl or there would be consequences.”
“And was tackling Uncle M, and almost making him fall, a green choice?”
“No, Sir. I’m sorry.”
“I’m not the one you need to apologize to, Little Duckling.”
Raelyn turned to him, “I’m sorry, Uncle M. I didn’t mean to make you almost fall.”
“It’s okay, Little minx. No harm done.”
He stepped aside letting her pass before slapping Emmett on the back.
“Good to have y'all here man. Olivia has been talking about all they are going to do for the past hour.”
“I haven’t been able to get Raelyn to stop talking about tonight since I told her what the plan was. She is so excited to play with her bestie in Littlespace.”
The guys turned and watched as their Little girls took off down the hallway.
“NO RUNNING IN THE HOUSE!” They both yelled out before laughing.
Walking into the kitchen to make the girls sippy cups and a snack, the men talked about the upcoming work week and the meeting that they had scheduled.
“Enough work talk. How have things been going between you and Olivia?”
Miles couldn’t help the smile crossing his face thinking about his Little girl playing in the other room.
“It’s been good man. Real good.”
“I’m so glad to hear that. I never had a thought that you two wouldn’t be perfect together. I always felt like she needed a Daddy who was like you.”
“I still can’t get over this feeling that she’s hiding something from me, but I can’t seem to put my finger on what it could be.”
“I don’t know man. Rae hasn’t said that Olivia has been off or anything. Maybe it’s just your mind playing tricks. Don’t borrow trouble, just enjoy the time you have with her now.”
“You’re right man. Now, let’s go find our Little girls. It’s gotten real quiet back there.”
Chuckling, they took off towards the nursery on the hunt for their troublemakers.
Sayinggoodbye to Emmett and Raelyn for the night, Miles went and collected his Little girl from the nursery.
She played hard with Rae and just like he had hoped, Olivia was able to slip a little bit younger than she had the previous time.
It was a joy to see it happen and he couldn’t wait to see what else she would do.
“It’s time to get ready for bed, Little Bunny.”
“Daddy, can I have five more minutes? The fashion show is about to start.”
Miles looked at the toys she had around her. Olivia had made a makeshift stage and set up all her stuffies around the runway. At the top her dolls were standing dressed in evening gowns.
“Okay, babygirl. You have until Daddy is done getting your bath ready and then it’s time to clean up and get ready for bed. Understood?”
“Yes, Sir, I understand.”
He leaned down and pressed a quick kiss on her lips before turning and heading into the ensuite to start running her a bath.
When he walked back into her room once again she looked like she had seen a ghost. Miles was getting tired of seeing that look on her face without an explanation as to why it was there.
