Forever Regressed, Daddy's Princess

Special Day Part 2

I am about halfway through my book when Aurora begins to squirm around. She's waking up. I bookmark my page and put the book away. I grab a clean diaper, wipes and powder out of the bag knowing she needs a change. Good Afternoon Princess, I hope you had a nice nap. She yawns and rubs her eyes. Aurora looks at me still sleepy but smiles. "Dada" is all she says. Dose 2 of the medication given and she's completely in little mode. She just babbles and spits a little when she does and I am Loving it. I lift up her dress and blow raspberries before changing my little stinkers. Good Girl Princess you went poopy. Daddy is so proud of you. Aurora giggles and again I smile. I clean my Princess so up buckle her into the stroller nd back toward the reunion. I see Alex with the boys and head their direction. As I look around I see everyone having such a good time. Kids riding ponies, and swings and others participating in completions like the potato sack race and water balloon fights. I reach Alex and ask how things have been going. Telling me all had been well and that it's been such a wonderful day so far. So where are you three headed I ask. "I'm taking the boys to the petting zoo. Want to join?" I'd Love to Alex but first I have to find mom. Alex looks down at Aurora who has her teddy in her hands and is making silly little noises. "You gave her the 2nd half of the medication I see. It sure worked well didn't it?" Yes, I hate that I did it but she needed it. She seems to be much more calm and relaxed and regressed now. I just wish she had done it on her own but there wasn't enough time to prepare her for today's events . If I had only had more time to prepare her. "Stephen don't be hard on yourself you just got her on Wednesday after all and technically that dad doesn't even count. You had no choice. She'll progress as time passes though. You will see. Just give her some time." Thanks Alex. We split up and I go search for mom. I finally find her. She is smiling and laughing and joking with my Tias. Dad's side of the family were stiffs, always so serious and everything was about business. It's nice to see mom and her family, they are always so happy and cheerful. When I am around moms family I love it because it allows me time to feel human, to be me. I don't have to hide behind a mask and I am able to let loose. My mom grew up poor and working on the farm, dad went to the border for a business trip when he was young and he met mom when stepped into a soda shop. I remember him telling me how the moment he set eyes on her that he was going to make her his. Mom laughs about it every single time telling me about dad's epic first failure at winning her heart. Mom, we are back. I greet my Tias and I ask is she would like to join us for the petting zoo. She nods her heads and leaves her sister. I need to feed Aurora first and then we can go. We find some seats and I pull out Aurora's bib and a can of greens. I take Aurora and place her into my lap. I pop the jar open and I feed her much with some grape juice today. She is behaving so well and eats all her food without a fight. I'm glad I put that bib on though because she kept babbling away and food would spill out. It would not be nice if it had gotten on her beautiful little dress. Mom and I talk and I explain how we met but I leave the kidnapping part out. Mom nods often and then offers me advice on how to care for my Princess. I listen happily. Mom asks to hold and carry Aurora so I let her. I clean up the mess and we head to the petting zoo. Aurora claps and smiles and points at all the animals. I Love seeing her this happy. Seeing Mom and Aurora so happy and smiling, having a great time it touches my heart. After the petting zoo we head over the train. Aurora and mom in the front, behind them the boys and Alex and I in the third car. I look up and I hate to see how the night has slowly been creeping up on us. The train ride ends and as I look around I see everyone packing up. The only thing left standing for the remainder of the night is 4 bounce houses. Alex takes the boys over. Let's them play while Mom and I go to prepare for tonight's dinner and speech.
AURORA 'S POV
I wake up from my nap feeling very groggy and confused. I look up and see my Daddy. All that comes out of my mouth is Dadda. I know what I want to say but I can't process it. Every time I go to speak I end up just babbling. I don't know what he gave me but whatever it was sure it doing what he wanted it to do. I plead in embarrassment. Is he really changing me out here in public I ask myself. I go to him to stop and to leave me alone and ask if he's crazy but the noises that come out again they aren't mine. At least I didn't think so. I mean how could they be. I start to feel myself slipping away. I'm loosing all anger and hate. Dadda puts in me in th stroller. I start crying. I don't wanna be put down. I want him to hold me. We walk to a tent and I see Nana. I get excited because I wuv my Nana. Dadda and Nanna sit down and Dadda picks me up. I want to talk to Nana and all that comes out is more babble and even a bit of drool. What is happening? Why can't I... Ah, food is good. I eats it all. Dadda and Nanna take me to mamals. Nanna bends over and I touch a goat. I happy and I claps. Nanna smiles at me and I smile back. SNAP! Dadda takes pucres. Oh, no it won't stop I can't control my words they are no longer mine and my brain finally stops processing adult words and thoughts. Choo, Choo I point and droll but I ok cuz I happy. Yay! I rides with Nanna. Awe, Choo Choo done.. I sad. We finish and Dadda and Nanna they go under this big tent and I see lots of lights and round things with shiny flow things on em. I giggles.
As we prepare for tonight's dinner I look over and see Aurora looking around. Her eyes looking at the silver covered tables with candles staring up at the light fixtures then at me. I take my Princess out of her stroller and walk around. We briefly head back into the hotel to the kitchen so I can the dishes and make sure everything is correct. Lobster Bisque for the starter, steak and shrimp with baked potato for main course and for dessert we have a Cherry, Almond Cheesecake. It all looks perfect. I head back outside to the tent. Everyone is settling in. I head to the main table with Mom, Alex and the kids. Everyone takes their seats and once I have their attention I give my speech and Moms gives her. Dinner is served and I made the kitchen prepare lobster Mac and Cheese for the boys with broccoli. They boys make a nasty face at their greens and I remind them that there will be no dessert if they don't eat their vegetables. They boys quickly scarf down their broccoli. My Princess remains occupied with her pacifier and her singing mouse. I smile seeing her so content and in awe with the lights on the mouse. Every time they stop she seems to be baffled as to where it went. I chuckle and let her play until dessert arrives. I go to take the mouse and she begins to cry. Shh... baby. Daddy has a surprise for you. She still cries not even fazed by my words. Dessert arrives and Aurora stops playing, her eyes focused on my cheesecake. I grab her mouse and hide him away. I take a spoon of it and open up Princess, her eyes widen at me.. It's good I tell her. She opens up her mouth and in one goes. I know she likes it because before I can stop her Auroras hand slams into my cheesecake. Both of us covered in strawberry sauce. Mom and Alex laugh hysterically at me and mom tell me welcome to parenthood. I go to clean Aurora's hand but she already shoved it in her mouth. Giggling and babbling away. I end up laughing at her as she looks so precious and cute. Awe, my baby girl. I grab the spoon and we continue to eat the cheesecake until it is all done. After dinner Alex and I hug everyone goodbye and thank everyone for attending making sure everyone received their family hoodie baskets filled with crackers, mixed cheese and saussages, a spreading set, 2 bottles of wine and reunion shirts for every family member. It's late and the kids are sleepy and fussy. Aurora's medicine is slowly wearing off and she is beginning to gain her awareness back. I pull out a bottle and I feed her one last time before we head home as I don't need anything happening. We then change the kiddos and put on their pajamas so we don't have to wake them when we return home. I load Aurora into her carseat and pop her pack in and Alex loads up the boys. Time to return home. The kiddos fall asleep and Alex and I talk about the reunion and how nice it was to see everyone. "It was especially nice spending time with you brother. Your always so distant from everyone and we go months without a word from you. These past few days have been great." Alex says to me. I nod my head in agreeance. We after what seemed to be an endless drive we finally return home. Alex grabs one boy at a time and carries them to their bedroom that I have set up for occasions such as this. I unbuckle the carseat and I carry Aurora up to her bedroom slowly lifting her out of the seat. I place her in her crib and kiss her forehead. I place teddy in arms, turn on the monitor and her nightlight. I close Aurora's door quietly, turn on the monitor from my end and head to shower. It's been a really long day and tomorrow will be even longer for the both of us. Aurora has her first doctors visit. My baby has a full exam tomorrow and I'm worried she won't handle it well. The doctor informed me since this will be her first exam it will take a good amount of the afternoon up. I finish my shower, dry off and dress in some comfy pjs and set the alarm. Once I lay down I feel my body slowly fading to sleep. I switch off the light and off to sleep I go.
