CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR
MAYLEE
P erry had come in a few minutes ago. It took Daddy and him several trips to get everything from his car. These included his medical supplies he apparently needed but he had also brought so many diapers. Did he really think she was going to use all those diapers during the few days while she was sick?
“Excessive much?” she asked before she went into a coughing fit. Her chest constricted, and she winced in pain. She really needed to stop doing things that hurt, but it was hard because one second while she was talking it didn’t hurt and then the next it did.
Maybe that was her clue to stop talking in general.
“It’s never too much when you have a sick Little,” Perry said. “I would rather be over prepared than under prepared.”
“I have to agree with Perry. I would rather be over prepared than not have enough. Though, this time, it won’t matter too much since we have people who are willing to go buy things for us. But either way, these are going to be used anyway. When you’re sick or after, so it doesn’t really matter,” Daddy pointed out.
They both regarded her, and she ducked. It was never good to have two sets of eyes on her. Especially when they were also Daddies. Or, well, it wasn’t good. She hadn’t ever been watched by Daddies before, but she suspected it wouldn’t be good.
“Now, let’s take a look at you,” Perry said.
“Would it be easier for her to be on the couch or for her to be on the ground?” Daddy asked.
Perry thought for a second. “It would be easier on the ground, but I can check her over on the couch. It might just take a little bit longer.”
“Give me one second, and I can move her to the floor.”
Daddy took a blanket and laid it out on the ground before turning toward her. She wanted to tell him to take away the blanket so she could feel the cold hardwood floors against her skin but Daddy would likely say no to that.
“I’m going to pick you up now, Lee. You let me know if anything hurts,” he said.
She nodded slowly and let him pick her up. His arms were one of her most favorite places to be. To always feel safe and secure was amazing.
“I’m going to gently put you down now,” Daddy informed her before he laid her down on the blanket.
Perry opened his bag. The first thing that came out what was a huge rectal thermometer. Her eyes went wide, and she started to shake her head. There was no way he was going to take her temperature with that.
“Have you given her any medicine?” Perry asked .
“I gave it to her about fifteen minutes ago.”
Maylee was pretty sure he couldn’t take her temperature now because Daddy had given her medicine.
Perry looked right at her. “You got lucky, little girl, but next time you won’t be so lucky.”
“Before she goes to bed I’ll take her temperature with the rectal thermometer. I’m pretty sure I put one in her house a couple years ago when she got sick,” Daddy said.
Her mouth hung open. He did what?
“Never used it, but I did bring it because she was very sick,” Daddy informed her. “But I’ll be using it tonight and checking how bad her fever is.”
“Good. She’ll be able to drink as much liquids as she wants since it won’t affect the temperature. Now, let me start looking her over.”
Maylee had her own doubt as Perry started to examine her. He took her heart rate, checked in her ears and throat before stepping back. Or well, scooching back. Perry lifted her shirt and started to gently press on her stomach.
“Looks to be a little blocked up, but hopefully once she starts drinking more, she’ll be able to go to the bathroom,” Perry said.
“And if she doesn’t go, give her medicine? You say in a couple of hours?” Daddy asked.
“I say give her until she’s about to go to bed. If she hasn’t gone by then, give her something. And if the medicine doesn’t work, then call me, and I’ll give you my enema machine and you can give her one.”
Her eyes went wide as he mentioned giving her an enema. She definitely did not want that. Who wanted liquid put into their body through her bottom then have it come back out? Not her, that was who.
“We don’t want her staying blocked up because it could come with health risks. You told me she hadn’t gone to the bathroom in over twelve hours?” Perry asked.
“That’s what she indicated. And I can believe it.”
“Well, then I would wait until she’s about to go to bed. If she hasn’t gone by then, given her medicine, put an extra-thick diaper on and one of the diaper covers. If she hasn’t gone by the morning, then call me, and we’ll get it set up.”
Maylee prayed for her body to go to the bathroom before tomorrow morning. She did not want the enema. She didn’t know anyone who would want that.
“Thank you so much for coming. I really appreciate it,” Daddy said.
“Boss told me to be on alert for a call from you. It was my pleasure to help you,” Perry replied. “I’ll see myself out. If you need anything, text me or Justin, and we can get it for you.”
Perry left, leaving Daddy and her alone. They were just staring at each other. Not that she minded. She could look at Daddy for hours and not tire of it. It could be a new hobby for her.
“Do you want to go take a bath? I bet it’ll make you feel a little bit better,” Daddy suggested.
“Okay,” she whispered.
“And then after your bath we can put you in a diaper and snuggle.”
Now, she really wanted that. Honestly, they could skip the bath and she would be fine. All she wanted to do was snuggle in his arms. It sounded like heaven.
“Such a good girl. I know you just want to snuggle in Daddy’s arms, but we need to take a bath first. It’s going to help you feel better,” Daddy said, gently.
He picked her up and she immediately nestled into his body as he took her to the bathroom. With every step she started dozing. The smooth rhythm of his walking and his arms wrapped around her were the perfect combination.
“You can’t fall asleep yet.” Daddy patted her back.
Maylee whined and buried her head into his chest. All she wanted to do was sleep and get comfortable in his arms.
“I know you want to sleep, but we need to get you in a bath first. Just let me take care of you. All you have to do is relax, and let me take control.”
Not that he hadn’t already taken control. From the moment he’d stepped into the house, he had taken control. She didn’t mind, though, because that was what she wanted.
“All right. I’m going to sit you on the toilet seat, and you’re going to be a good girl and stay right there until I put you in the bath. Can you do that for me?”
“Yes, Daddy,” she whispered and let out a small cough.
“I know I told you to always get me verbal answers but since you are sick and coughing, you don’t have to do that. I don’t want you to force yourself to cough a lot.”
She sighed in relief and watched as he started to fill the bathtub. She had been trying to talk because she knew he liked verbal answers, but it was hard. Her throat felt raw, and the more she talked, the more it hurt.
“This is going to be a short bath. I just want to wash you to get clean, and then we’ll go sit on the couch where you can snuggle into me, and I’ll feed you food and drinks.” Daddy turned around and got right in front of her. “I’m going to need you to stand up for a couple of seconds. Your hands will be on my shoulders at all times, so you don’t fall over.”
Nodding, she waited for Daddy to help her stand up. There was no way she was getting up from this toilet seat without any help.
“First, I’m going to take off your shirt and bra so that you don’t have to stand up so long,” he said as he started to remove her shirt.
Once he had her shirt and bra off, he helped her stand up, and she kept her hands on his shoulders, not wanting her to fall over.
“If you feel dizzy or like you’re going to fall over at any point, you let me know. Tap my shoulder if you can’t speak.”
It didn’t take long for Daddy to get her pants and underwear off. Before she knew it, he picked her up and gently placing her in the bathtub. Even though she felt hot, the warm water soothed her. She sighed contentedly and closed her eyes.
“Good girl. You just let Daddy take care of you.”
And that’s what she did. She relaxed in the bathtub while Daddy washed her. The whole time he was washing her, he was humming. He had never done that when they were dating before.
“All done,” Daddy said, and she opened her eyes. He was giving her a great big smile. “The next part is going to be quick. I have a towel already placed out on the ground so I can put a diaper on you after I have dried you off. Then I’m going to put you in an adorable onesie before putting you into bed.”
She gave him a confused look. She thought they were going to go sit on the couch and snuggle there.
“While you’re in bed, I’m going to go make some bottles and food for you.”
Maylee whined and shook her head. She lifted her arms and made grabby hands toward him. She didn’t want him to leave her alone. She wanted to be with him, feel his arms around her.
“What’s wrong?” Daddy asked.
“No leave.”
“I’m not going to be gone long. I’m just going to the kitchen to grab everything and then I’ll be right back.”
She shook her head once again. It wasn’t going to just be a quick grab of things. He had said earlier he was going to make her chicken noodle soup. That was going to take time because she didn’t have anything in the fridge. It was going to be a lot of time without Daddy, and she didn’t want that.
“All right,” Daddy said as he helped her out of the bathtub and started to dry her off. “You can come with me. I’ll place you in a chair, and you’ll sit there the whole time. If you move, I will put you in bed.”
Once she was dry, she sagged into his arms. She was feeling extra needy right now, and she didn’t want him to leave her sights.
Daddy placed her on the towel and started to put the diaper on her. With everything that had taken place since his arrival, she relaxed more and more as he took care of her. It was like the past weekend they spent together. The only difference was she was sick, but all the feelings were the same.
“Such a good girl for Daddy. My good girl,” he praised her as he started to put the onesie on. “Now, let’s go make some soup and your drinks.”
Daddy picked her up and she immediately snuggled into his body.
