Hadley discovered she was very willing to stick her tongue out at the woman.

Nurse MacIntosh laughed. “What a great job you did. I have a feeling you’d get along very well with my own Little girl. Her name is Lori. She and her big brother, Blake, aren’t too fond of their Mommy when she is in Nurse mode.”

Hadley gasped. If her Lori was the same Little girl who’d already become her friend, she knew she should feel a bit guilty. Then again, it sounded as if Lori might have reacted in the exact same way. It was too much to think about when her head was hurting though.

All business again, the nurse continued, “I’m going to test her for strep just in case but I’m thinking maybe it’s a sinus infection. Her lungs sound good.”

“Does your face hurt anywhere, Hadley?” she asked, before pressing on Hadley’s cheekbones.

Hadley cried out in pain.

“I’m sorry, honey. That hurt, huh?” Nurse MacIntosh cooed.

Hadley nodded and Finn rubbed her back gently.

“It will take about twenty minutes for me to have the results of the strep test back. Let’s go ahead and get her enema started and then I’ll be back,” she said, carrying the swab from the curtained room.

“You’re doing so good, Peeps.”

Finn walked around to the rolling table and examined the items. It was a vibrator in new packaging, an enema kit, and a tube of lube. Okay, he could do this.

“Roll on your left side for me, Peeps.”

Hadley obeyed.

“I’m gonna pull this leg up a bit, baby,” Finn explained, lifting one of her legs and positioning it on the bed in front of her. The adjustment caused her to be on her belly a bit more and opened her up for him. She was dripping despite her embarrassment.

“I’m going to put a bit more of the cold stuff on your bottom, okay, Hadley? If you need a break, just tap the mattress threetimes, Peeps,” he warned before applying some of the lube to her rectum. “Just relax for me, baby.”

Sliding his finger in and out of her a few times, he waited until he thought she was relaxed as much as possible before lubing up the tube. “Okay, baby. Here’s the tube,” he told her before sliding it in her bottom. She squeaked and buried her head in her arms, but stayed still just like the good girl she was.

“You know you’re dripping, Peeps. Your brain may hate this, but your body loves it.”

Hadley shook her head and Finn rubbed her back gently. “That’s okay. You don’t have to admit it, right now. Alright, baby, here it comes. It might be a little crampy, but Daddy will rub your belly to help with it, okay?”

Hadley nodded.

Finn started the water from the bag. Hadley shivered as the warm water entered her.

Placing his hand on her belly, Finn rubbed it softly. “I’m so proud of you, Hadley. You’re being so brave for us.”

Hadley wrapped her fingers around his wrist as he rubbed her belly. They remained in comfortable silence for a few minutes until Hadley squeaked.

“Cramp, Peeps?”

She nodded.

He rubbed a bit harder. “Does that help?”

She nodded again.

“How’s our Little patient doing?” Nurse MacIntosh asked, reentering the room.

“She’s cramping a bit.”

“That’s normal. You’re doing well by rubbing them away. You’ve almost taken it all, Hadley. You’ll just need to hold it for ten minutes.”

Hadley shook her head.
