“You’re not walking,” he stated as he carried her into the bathroom.

He noticed that she still had her toy squirrel in her arms. It was worn, obviously well-loved.

“You’ve owned Coco for a while.” He set her down on a seat in the large bathroom.

“My mom gave her to me. She’s always been my bestest friend.”

Bestest? Her Little was peeking out. But she was still watching him with those big, worried eyes.

“So cute. Do you have any other toys?” He turned the shower on as she shook her head.

“No?” he asked then realized he’d left the bag of stuff that Donovan had brought with him out in the other room. “Wait right there, baby girl. Do not move. Understand?”

“Yes,” she said.

When he returned she was sitting exactly as he left her.

“You can relax, baby,” he told her as he pulled some items out. Donovan had done some shopping. There were a pair of soft, buttery yellow pajamas as well as some panties still in their packaging.

“Oh, those are pretty,” she said with wide eyes. “Who do they belong to?”

“You.”

“Me? Someone bought them for me?”

“Donovan did.”

“He did?” There was wonder in her voice. “That was so kind of him.”

“I told him to get you some stuff,” he muttered. He didn’t want that asshole getting all the credit.

The smile she gifted him was the first true smile he’d seen from her since she’d woken up in the hospital. “Thank you.”

“You’re welcome, baby girl.” He turned to her after laying everything out. “Let’s get you undressed.”

She tensed.

“Well, maybe we should get Coco undressed first.”

She stared down at her toy. “Coco is a squirrel!”

“So?” he asked.

“So she doesn’t wear clothes, Daddy!” she cried.

There was some silence as she watched him for a reaction. He deliberately let his face soften.

Surprisingly, considering he was more used to frowning than smiling lately it wasn’t actually that hard.

“That’s Daddy’s brave girl,” he murmured. “Trust Daddy to take care of you?”

“That’s all you’ve done lately. Are you sure you’re not sick of it?”

“Sick of it? I wish I could do more for you.” He helped her stand and then he carefully took off her nightgown, leaving her in just her panties.

There was a soft blush in her cheeks, but he didn’t make any comments. He didn’t want to make her feel more awkward.

Just a Daddy looking after his girl.
