Somniphobia

Chapter 11. Mr Tinkles

Caleb POV
Once she fell asleep in my arms I left to the store to get her some pads, chocolate, snacks, and a warming pad to help with her cramps. I also got her a little gift for yelling at her in the car when we went to Aaron's house.

I walked into the house with all the bags in my hands. "D-daddy!" I heard her crying heavily from upstairs in our room. I quickly rushed up the stairs to our bedroom.

I rushed inside our bedroom she way sitting on her knees on the bed while crying softly. "D-daddy." She whined holding her arms up towards me.

"Shh I'm here beautiful." I comforted her as she cried. "W-where d-did y-you g-go d-daddy?" She asked me. "I went to the store and got you some things to help with your cramping." I explained to her.

She looked at the bags I placed on the bed beside her. "Y-you g-got m-me c-chocolate?" She asked me curiously. "Yeah and some snacks." I confirmed to her. She smiled brightly while grabbing the chocolate bar to eat it.

"I got you a gift." I told her causing her smile to brighten up even more as she looked at me with wide eyes. "Close your eyes on the count of three open them okay princess?" I instructed her.

She covered her eyes with her hands excitedly. "O-okay d-daddy." She confirmed obediently. "One...two...three!" She opened her eyes as soon as I said three. She gasped softly as she looked at the small stuffed turtle that I got her.

I handed her to the stuffed turtle smiling at her as she smiled happily. "Take it princess it's yours." I encouraged her to take it from me. She looked up at me with uncertainty and tears rushing down her cheeks.

"T-this I-is m-mine?" She asked me through tears. "Yeah it's yours princess." I confirmed to her but I could tell she was somehow scared or not quite understanding what I was giving her.

"Take it princess it's yours." I encouraged her to take it from me. She gently grabbed the stuffed animal from my hands and stared at it for a moment before hugging it tightly with a beautiful smile forming on her sweet lips.

"T-thank y-you d-daddy." She thanked me while crawling over to me hugging me tightly along with her new stuffed animal. "Your welcome princess." I whispered above her head kissing her forehead gently while wiping her tears away.

"Is there a reason for the tears princess?" I asked her concerned and worriedly because I didn't understand why she was crying. I was a bit harsh on her about the paper work but I'm sure she isn't that upset about it.

"I n-never g-got t-to h-have a s-stuffed a-animal m-my m-mom a-always t-took t-them a-away f-from m-me." She explained to me which made a lot more sense on why she was crying.

I picked her up in my arms kissing her lips gently to comfort her. "No ones gonna take this little guy from you I promise princess." I assured her.

"Y-your t-the b-best d-daddy." She smiled at me kissing my cheek softly before wrapping her arms around my neck and laying her head on my shoulder.

I rubbed her back soothingly as she laid her head on my shoulder while hugging her stuffed animal at the same time. "Are you hungry princess?" I asked her. "N-no d-daddy I-I'm f-fine." She replied but I knew she was lying.

Her stomach was growling loudly but she kept squeezing in her stomach to hide the sounds her hungry stomach was making. I hated her parents for what they did to her.

She was starving but she felt like she had to hide the fact that she was hungry because her parents abused her for simply asking or wanting to eat. They wanted her to starve to death if she could.

I didn't want her to feel like she couldn't eat around me I wanted to make sure she felt safe when eating around me. I wanted her to know that it was okay to eat anything and everything in my house.

She could eat everything in the fridge and I wouldn't say a thing I'd just go buy more of everything she loves to eat so she will never have to worry about starving herself again.

As long as she was under my roof and in my arms she was as safe as can be from her horrible parents I wouldn't let a single hair fall from her beautiful head.

"I'm pretty hungry and I was hoping my little princess was too cause I got us pizza so we can watch movies together downstairs in the living room." I said convincingly.

"It's fine I'll just eat later." I sighed softly. "N-no d-daddy I-I'm h-hungry t-too I-I'm s-starving d-daddy." She admitted making me smile in satisfaction that she agreed to go.

I kissed her cheek gently as she smiled softly. "My beautiful little princess." I complimented her causing a soft blush to form on her pretty cheeks. I began to walk towards the stairs while carrying her with me to go to the living room.

"Do you have a name for him yet?" I asked her as she smiled from ear to ear as I sat her down on the couch with her stuffed turtle. "I-I'm s-still t-thinking d-daddy." She told me as I opened the pizza boxes.

"Take your time princess." I comforted her. She looked at all the pizzas I ordered on the table smelling delicious. "S-so m-many p-pizzas." She muttered to herself.

"I didn't know which flavor you liked so I got most of the flavors so you can choose princess." I told her honestly. "R-really a-all f-for m-me?" She asked me surprised and shocked.

"Yeah." I confirmed to her. "C-can I t-try a-all o-of t-them?" She asked me. "Yeah, sure if you have enough room in your stomach for all the flavors go ahead princess." I encouraged her to do as she pleased.

She clapped her hands excitedly making me smile at how cute and adorable she was when she got so excited. That was my favorite thing to see from her and only her no one else could make me smile like she did.

She grabbed a slice of the pepperoni with pineapples on it taking a big bite out of it like a big girl. "Good girl." I praised her uncontrollably for taking such a big bite of her food.

She looked up at me smiling as she chewed her food slowly. She held up her slice of pizza to me encouraging me to take a bite out of it.

I wasn't a big fan of pineapple on pizza but because she bit into it first and her sweet lips were on it I bit into it right where she bit it. She blushed softly as she slowly bit into her pizza exactly where I bit it just now.

She scooted closer towards me leaning over against me laying her head on my chest while watching the tv as she ate the rest of her pizza slowly.

I kissed her head enjoying our little pizza date that she had no idea was a date I just made it one in my head. This woman was going to be mine one way or another I knew that for sure.

She was just perfect how could I not want her or need her in my life forever. She didn't know it yet but I was gonna marry her and she was gonna be mine forever.

"I f-figured o-out a n-name d-daddy." She told me. "Really?" I asked her. "Mhmm M-Mr T-Tinkles I-is g-gonna b-be h-his n-name." She revealed to me. "Nice I can tell he likes the name Mr Tinkles." I agreed with her.

She smiled happily kissing her stuffed animal that she just named Mr Tinkles. I kissed the side of her head gently as she smiled happily. There was nothing more that made me happier than seeing her smile so happy like today.
