She's little

chapter 40

James

"dianna, you okay...?" i ask kneeling t of her, as she finishes spinning, trying to suppress the stupid knowing grin off my face.

please dear god let me be right

"yea!" she says loudly, making me take a second to blink, not expecting her to yell.

"shushh bug, indoor voices." i say pressing my finger to my lips, watching as Dianna mirrored my hand movement, continuing to make the 'shh' sound.

"come on you. lets get some water." i say picking her up setting her on my side, as i walk out to the kitchen.

"i don't want water." she says resting her head on my shoulder.

"yea you do, you need it." i tell her rubbing her back.

i hear her whine in my ear while i pour water into her stanly cup.
i fucking hate this cup.

she insisted on carrying it everywhere with her in school, but barely drinks the water from it. but its too heavy and she doesn't like carrying it. so i do.

i really fucking hate this cup

"you can sleep in a minute i just want to see you drink a-bit first." i tell her stroking her head while i walk back into her room.

i hear her hum a response as i set her on the bed, handing over the cup.
i wander round the bed to the opposite bedside table pulling a paci out.
maybe she'll take?

i watch her take sips from the cup as i walk back round, getting down on one knee next to her, holding out the pacifier.
"do you wanna try?"

i watch as she hesitates before gently plucking it from my fingers, nodding.

i cant help the giddy smile that spreads across my face.
all my hard work actually worked.

As Dianna starts to suck on the pacifier, her eyes slowly start to drift back and forth, her body slowly being lulled into submission, her mouth slowly sucking the pacifier more and more, the more comfort she gets from it, as her eyes slowly lose their focus more and more, as she drifts off.

Dianna soon starts to mumble to herself, as she drifts in and out of consciousness slowly. She holds the pacifier in her mouth still, mumbling with it in her mouth slowly, as she starts to move her body slightly.
i gently pull her back onto the bed curling up with her, holding he carefully not not disturb her  

Dianna slowly starts to nuzzle into me, as i hold her close to me, she nuzzles herself into my chest silently, sucking on her pacifier, as she starts to mumble again.

"goodnight Anna." i say, my lips grazing the top of her head.

my heart basically stopped when i could have sworn i hear her mumble "night daddy." from behind the pacifier.
