Somniphobia

Chapter 40. The check up

Aria POV
I felt someone touching and poking me all over my stomach and sides. I whimpered in my sleep whining softly as they continued poking me on my stomach almost painfully.

I didn't recognize the hands touching my bare skin beneath my shirt. I knew they weren't my parents hands or Caleb's hands on me. I opened my eyes slowly as I began to panic.

A man dressed in a white coat and a stethoscope hanging around his neck stood over me. I screamed loudly in pure terror as I scurried away from him covering myself in the blanket tightly as I screamed and cried.

"Ma'am please calm down I'm not going to hurt you." He told me calmly but I just screamed even more shaking in fear. "S-stay a-away f-from m-me!" I screamed loudly at him.

He reached forward to touch me I screamed even louder my heart pounding against my chest as I sobbed all at once. "What the fuck is going on!" I heard Caleb's loud, rough voice suddenly.

The entire room rumbled at his tone as he rushed into the room. "What did you do to her?" He asked the man as he rushed over to me quickly and scooped me up into his arms.

I hugged him tightly hiding my face into his neck as I sobbed uncontrollably and trembled in his arms. "I was just gently touching her stomach I wasn't trying to freak her out sir." The man explained himself.

"What the fuck do you mean Ron? She was sleeping I told you to wait until I came before you touch her. Who wouldn't fucking freak out?" Caleb argued back even angrier now after the man explained what he did.

"I apologize sir it won't happen again." He apologized. "No shit cause next time you touch her without me present I promise you it won't end so pretty for you." He threatened in a possessive tone that brought shivers down my spine.

I wasn't quite sure what he meant by any of that but I was just glad he wouldn't allow that man to touch me again unless he was there with me. "Yes sir, I apologize once more I'll give you both a moment just call me when you're ready."

He walked out our bedroom leaving us alone together. He gently wiped my tears away while cupping my face with his hands making me look up at him.

"You okay princess?" He asked me in a sweet and calming tone. "Mhm." I snuffled through tears softly while nodding my head. "Don't make me repeat myself princess, use your words baby." He encouraged me.

"I-I-I'm o-okay d-daddy." I spoke up softly. "He scared you I'm sorry baby I should have woken you up before he came." He said, feeling bad and guilty because I got so scared.

"W-why I-is h-he h-here?" I asked curiously and confused. "I wanted him to do a little check up on you that's all." He explained to me. "Are you okay with him doing a check up on you?" He asked me softly.

"I-I'm s-scared." I admitted to him. He kissed my forehead delicately. "Don't be I'll be right by your side the entire time I promise princess." He assured me promisingly.

"W-will y-you h-hold m-my h-hand p-please?" I asked pleadingly. "Of course baby, I'm all yours I promise." He assured me once more making me feel less nervous and anxious.

He kissed my cheek and lips lovingly making me blush softly. "You're okay he won't hurt you, I won't let him hurt you." He assured me soothingly making me feel much better.

He kissed my forehead once more making me smile softly at how comforting he was being towards me. Never in my life have I felt this much comfort from someone it almost made me feel overwhelmed with emotions and sadness.

"Ron come in!" He called for the doctor to come back into the room. The man walked back into the room with a small smile on his lips. "Allow me to introduce myself properly this time."
