Page 41 of Deciding for Little Dallas
“Master Pike? Master Pike?” Tommy interrupted from the carpet, almost bouncing in his place.
“Yes, buddy?” Daddy answered.
“Can you tell all the grown-ups about Host a Ghost? I wanna do it too!”
Dallas watched as Daddy looked like a deer in the headlights. Oh no! Maybe she wasn’t supposed to tell anyone about Niki Rope and Danica. Her letter didn’t say that, though, and she’d been so excited to show her friends the pretty skeleton bracelet her ghosties had left for her after drinking all of the pickle juice and eating all of the pickles and candy she’d left for them. They’d kinda toilet papered Daddy’s bathroom too. Daddy didn’t seem to think that it had been as funny as Dallas did.
“I will be glad to tell any grown-up you want me to, okay? Just send them my way.”
His words took a knot out of Dallas’ tummy. She was glad she hadn’t done anything wrong.
“Yes, Sir!” Tommy said.
“I’m gonna tell my Daddy and my Papa!” Eloise chirped from beside him.
“Daddy!” Hadley’s communication tablet voiced. Dallas was glad that technology made it easier for Hadley to talk.
“Was she a good girl today?” Daddy asked Nanny J once the Littles had settled down.?
“She was,” Nanny J assured him while giving him Dallas’ diaper bag.
“May I has my candy corn craft, please?” Dallas asked Nanny J.
“Oh! You sure can. I almost forgot.” Nanny J walked over to the drying rack and grabbed her tissue paper candy corn craft.
“Thank you, Nanny J.”
“You’re welcome, sweet girl. See you tomorrow,” Nanny J said, stroking her cheek.
“Bye, Dallas,” a gaggle of Little girls and boys said as she left.
“Bye, friends,” she answered, waving over Pike’s shoulders.
“Did you has a good day, Daddy?”
“I did. I went to two classes and learned some new things,” he said, patting her soggy bottom.
“I’m so proud of you, Daddy! You’re so smarts!”
He chuckled, pressing a kiss to her forehead. “Thank you, Bitty.”
“What did you learn?” Dallas asked him.
He waited until he had her in the privacy of the elevator before answering, “I took a class on breath play and on knife play. Daddy learned some new ways to dominate you that I think you will enjoy.”
“Oh,” she answered, her kitty throbbing in her diaper. “Those are very good things to learn.”
“Daddy thought so too,” he said, winking at her.
He balanced her on his hip as he carried her into their room. Letting the door shut behind him, he carried her to the changing table in her nursery and laid her down on the top. Reaching into the baskets below the table he pulled out a candy corn diaper. “Do you think we should stick to the candy-corn theme today?”
She giggled. “Yas, huh, Daddy.”
Pike kissed her forehead. “Daddy’s so thankful your ouchie head and ouchie eye look much better than he’d expected today.”
“It doesn’t hurts anymore, Daddy and I was a good girl. I played safely so I didn’t hurts it again,” she told him.? When he’d dropped her off, he’d asked Nanny J and Miss Phoebe to help her remember to play gently since she was still recovering. They’d promised him they would and they had. Dallas had only forgotten to play gently once and they’d both reminded her at the same time. It had made everyone giggle.
“I’m so proud of you, Bitty. Thank you for listening and making good choices.”
