Chapter Fifteen
Simon smiled at the cartoonish pictures and bright colors. It was a perfect room for children and littles. He loved the awe on her face as she looked around the room.
“It’s nice to see you again,” Alex said and shook his hand.
“You, too. Thank you for getting her in at the last minute.”
“Of course. If a little needs me, I’m there.”
Simon smiled. “This place is amazing.”
Alex looked around. “I’m thrilled with it. It was Raina’s idea to put in a room just for littles and children. I had a few of her friends come in to help design the room. One of them made the drawings on the walls, and several colored them.”
“It looks like professionals did it,” Simon said.
Alex nodded. “They are very talented.”
Simon grinned. “She was terrified when I first brought her in, but now she’s just enthralled.”
“That’s the way we want it,” Alex said. “My little one is around and can come in if you want her distracted.”
Simon looked over at Casey. “No, I think she’ll be okay. But she can be our backup plan.”
“I know how sensitive littles are,” Alex said and smiled.
Simon snorted. “That’s a fact.”
“Let’s start with her forehead, and then we’ll move to the other incisions. Is it okay if I give her a sucker? It is sugar-free and has a light sedative in it that helps calm them.”
“Sure. That sounds great.”
“I’m going to wait until I’m done with her forehead for you to put a gown on her. It’s colorful, too, and soft. Not like the paper ones we have in the other rooms.”
Simon grinned. “I’ve got to tell you, when I come to you, I want this room.”
Alex laughed. “You’re not the only daddy that has said that.” He pointed at Casey. “How about we get her into the seat with the cat first? We’ll have to get her onto the table for the rest, but I’m hoping she’ll feel calm by then.”
Simon nodded. “Casey, Baby, come here and meet Alex.”
Casey walked to him, took his hand, and tried to hide behind him.
Simon glanced at Alex and rolled his eyes.
Alex smiled and bent down. “Hi, Casey. Your daddy has told me a lot about you.”
She peeked at him. “Really?”
“Yes. He told me how brave you are.”
Casey looked up at Simon. “Really?”
Simon nodded. “Yes. And I mean it.”
“Would it be okay if I took the stitches out of your forehead? You can sit on the cat chair.”
Alex pointed to a colorful chair that looked like a cat.
She nodded. “Can I bring Booboo?”
“Absolutely. Is it okay if I introduce myself to him?” Alex asked.
Casey looked surprised and then pleased before she nodded. “Booboo, I want you to meet Alex. He’s going to take care of us today.” She looked up at the doctor. “This is my friend, Booboo. He’s a puppy.”
Alex reached out and shook the dog’s paw. “It’s very nice to meet you.”
Damn, the man was good. Alex had her in the chair giggling.
“Simon, is it okay to give her a sucker? She’s being so good and brave?”
Simon smiled. “Absolutely. I think she deserves it.”
Casey bounced in the chair.
“You get to pick the flavor,” Alex said and held out a jar filled with different colored suckers.
Simon grinned when it took her time to decide. When she chose one, Alex pulled the paper off the top and handed it to her.
Alex glanced at him and smiled. “She’s ready.”
Alex pulled a colorful tray over and set it off to the side so she couldn’t see it. He covered the things on top with a cloth. He brought out scissors and tweezers, both with cool designs on them.
“Casey, can I look at your stitches?”
Simon was amazed when she just nodded and kept sucking on the candy. Within a few minutes, the ones on her forehead were out, and she had shown no concern at all.
“Jesus, man. I think you’re magic,” Simon said.
Alex laughed. “No, I just know how littles think.” He tipped his head. “This might be the hard part. You need to get her in a gown, but she can keep her skirt on because I was told she didn’t have any deep cuts on her legs.”
Simon nodded. “That’s right. There are a few on her chest, one on her shoulder, and the other on her stomach by her belly button.”
“I’m going to turn my back to you while you help her because I know how modest they are at first,” Alex said. “I’ll wait until you tell me it’s okay. I can tell the sedative is working on her. Each little one experiences different effects. Some are mild, but ones like your little are lightweights, so it won’t take much. She might just sleep through it.”
“God, that would be wonderful,” Simon said.
Alex smiled. “Yes, it would.”
Simon reached for the gown Alex held out to him.
“If you need any help, I’m right here.”
“Thank you. This is a first for me, and I don’t want to screw it up.”
“You won’t.”
Simon nodded and walked over to his girl. “Hey, Baby, can we put this on you so Alex can take the stitches out?”
Casey’s eyes widened.
“Remember what we talked about? I need Alex to say you’re healed so we can have sex.”
She nodded slowly and got off the cat chair. She handed him the sucker stick and then raised her arms.
“Do you know how proud I am of you right now?” he asked. He pulled her shirt off and helped her put on the cape Alex had given him.
Her face turned rosy, and she smiled. “Really?”
He tapped her nose with the tip of his finger. “Absolutely. Now, let’s get you on this cool table so Alex can take care of you.”
“We’re ready, Alex.”
“I’m a little nervous,” Casey said.
Simon hated the look in her eyes. He bent down close to her. “How about you think about what I’m going to do to you later?” he said and grinned.
Alex came over to the table. “Lie back, Honey. This won’t take long. You’re going to feel a spray. I’m spraying the areas with medicine. It helps numb the pain, although I doubt you’ll have any, but we wanted to make sure.”
The first spray caught her off guard, and she gasped. “Oh, it’s cold.”
“Yeah, sorry about that,” Alex said.
Simon watched as the man expertly started to cut the stitches.
“Distract her,” Alex said.
Simon leaned down to her ear and talked softly, although he knew Alex could hear him. “Do you know the first thing I’m going to do to you?”
Casey tilted her head so she could see his face, which was perfect because she wasn’t looking at what Alex was doing anymore.
“What?” she whispered.
“After I strip you bare, I’m going to spread you out on the bed and taste every part of you.”
Her eyes widened. “You can’t mean everything, Daddy. You can’t put your mouth on my vajayjay.”
When he heard her call him Daddy, it filled a place in his heart he hadn’t known was empty. “Your what?” he asked confused.
“You know, my hoo-ha or cha-cha.”
Simon heard Alex laugh.
“She’s talking about her vagina,” Alex told him, trying not to laugh.
Simon bit down on his lower lip to keep from laughing. When he got himself under control, he was able to talk. “To answer your question, I absolutely can put my mouth there, and I will do so very soon.”
Casey still didn’t look convinced. She looked at Alex. “Tell him he can’t do that. It’s … it’s unsanitary.”
“My little said the same thing,” Alex said and laughed. He looked at Casey. “It’s absolutely possible and very enjoyable for both the man and the woman. By the way, we’re done.”
Casey’s mouth fell open. “Wow.”
Simon was shocked. He’d been trying to distract her, but he also hadn’t watched what Alex was doing, and he wondered if the doctor planned it that way. He was apprehensive to see the thread come out of her delicate skin.
“Simon, if you’d like to put her shirt back on, I’ll turn my back and clean up my mess,” Alex said, turning his back again.
Simon smiled. He didn’t think she knew she’d had all her stitches out.
“Wait, Daddy,” Casey looked down at her torso and chest. “They’re all gone.”
“I know. Alex is very good, isn’t he?” Simon said and slid her shirt on.
“I think he’s magic,” she whispered.
From the shaking of Alex’s shoulders, Simon guessed he’d heard that.
“Maybe.”
Alex turned around. “Since she’s now a part of our club, I’ll need more information on her. Can you take some papers home and send them back to me?”
Simon lifted her off the table. “Sure.”
Alex walked them out to the waiting room. After talking to the receptionist, he handed him a file.
Simon didn’t want to release Casey when she clung to his hand, so he stuck the file under his arm to shake Alex’s hand. “I can’t thank you enough. My girl has been through so much already that I was dreading this.”
“I understand that. That’s how my little one and I met. She’d been very ill, and I took her home. It’s a long story I’ll tell you sometime,” Alex said.
Casey tugged on Simon’s shirt. “Bend down,” she whispered. When his ear was close to her mouth, she murmured again, “Can I hug Alex?”
“Of course you can. I’m sure he’ll love it,” Simon told her.
He released her and let her go to the doctor. He could tell Alex was a bit surprised but also pleased. He hugged her.
Alex released her, and she came back to him.
Alex smiled. “I would love it if you met my girl sometime. I think the two of you would hit it off.”
Simon glanced down at her as she bounced. She looked up at him. “I can, can’t I?”
“Absolutely, Baby. It will be good for you to be around the littles as much as possible,” Simon told her.
Casey clapped and bounced on her toes. “Yea!”
Both men chuckled.
“Thank you again. You made it easier for both of us.”
Alex laughed. “That was the plan.”
“You’re a bit sneaky, Doc,” Simon said. He had guessed the distraction was not only for his girl.
Alex threw his head back, hooting.
Simon couldn’t take the smile off his face as they walked out of the clinic.
“How about we stop for food somewhere and then head home?” he told her as he buckled her into her seat belt.
“Okay.” She nodded.
It seemed the day had dragged on forever, and it wasn’t even dinnertime. Maybe the fact he couldn’t get his mind off them finally being able to have sex made it worse.
It didn’t matter. As long as he had her with him, he was pleased.
