CHAPTER NINE
EMMETT
H e knew something was wrong with his baby the moment she placed that bite of egg into her mouth. “What is it? Is it too hot?” he asked. Emmett watched her shake her head but could see that there was something wrong.
Puzzled and not sure what was going on, he waited until she finally swallowed the food and watched as she drank half the glass of chocolate milk that was in front of her.
“If it isn’t too hot, then what is the issue with it babygirl? I promise you can tell me.”
He could tell that Raelyn wasn’t going to give up what was going on as he continued to watch her torture herself bite after bite. Setting down his fork and pushing his plate to the side, he placed his hand over hers asking once again
“What’s going on Duckling? I can’t stand to see you struggling with something that I am sure I could fix.”
He didn’t think that she was going to answer him until he watched her eyes fill with tears and she blurted ou t
“These are normally on my safe food list. I can eat them without any problems, but they betrayed me.”
Emmet didn’t fully understand what she was talking about, but he knew that it broke his heart to watch her cry.
Discarding the offending omelet onto a nearby table, he slid into her side of the booth and pulled her in close.
“I’m not understanding, beautiful. If you didn’t like it, why did you order it in the first place?”
She shook her head at him explaining “I have SPD and part of my disorder is food sensitivities. Most days are good because I know what foods are safe for me and what aren’t.”
“SPD? I don’t think I’ve heard of that before.”
“Sensory processing disorder, SPD, is when someone’s brain has struggles processing certain sensory signals. These can be sight, sound, smell, texture, or taste.”
Emmett was slowly starting to understand what she was saying.
“Every once in a while, a food that was once safe for me to have turns yucky and it comes off of my safe list.” she continued.
Now knowing what the problem is, Emmett was going to fix it, but first, he had to explain to her that she’s not allowed to cause harm to herself for things that are within her control.
“Eyes on me please, Little bit. I want to make sure you understand what I am going to tell you.” He waited until he had her full attention.
“Next time this happens you are to stop eating the offending food immediately. Do not force yourself to continue to eat it knowing that it is triggering for you.” Emmett said in his deep Dom voice.
Rae’s eyes widened and she shivered at his tone.
“I just didn’t want you to think I was being ungrateful.” Rae timidly said .
Shaking his head, “I would never think that you are being ungrateful, Little Duckling.”
This was the first time that he had ever used this voice on her and he was pleased with how she reacted. It just further helped confirm his suspicions that she was a submissive and possibly a Little.
“You are not to cause intentional harm to yourself. Do you understand what I am saying?”
She nodded her head at him.
“No, Little Duckling, I need a verbal response from you.”
“Yes, Sir,” Rae whispered back to him.
Pleased that she understood his rule, he pulled his plate towards them and started cutting up his pancakes to share with her. He hoped that this food was also something she could have.
Emmett knew that he would have to continue to watch his Little girl closer in the future to help her avoid triggering foods that might cause her harm.
He also made a mental note to do some additional research to better help his darling girl with her issues. Emmett didn’t plan on allowing anything to cause harm to his Little girl and that included her mind and body.
