Diary of a Daughter (Based off of "Moments")

Fourty: My Gifts

Kind of a warning: May be a little bit cringeworthy, but if you're a girl you might relate to this on a spiritual level.

Dear Diary,

Uncle Felix gave me another "toy" for my birthday. It happened to be a "stress dildo" . My Dads and I all felt incredibly awkward even touching it. There was also a note on the bottom of the package that said "squeeze it when you feel stressed or when you want feel like giving a handjob... Love Uncle Felix" without any hesitation, my Dads quickly put it away and put it some place where we won't be able to find it. They probably burned it. It wouldn't surprise me.

I woke up to a strange feeling in my stomach and around my sides in the middle of the night. I tossed and turned to try and get rid of the feeling but it wouldn't go away. I then slowly got up, tiptoed down the hall and downstairs to the bathroom where the medicine cabinet was. I took out a bottle of ibuprofen and put one in my mouth and swallowed it before going back upstairs. I tried tossing and turning again but the pain still wouldn't go away. I became extremely nervous at why I was feeling this way.

I then went over to the bathroom and tried to see if maybe I had to go. As I pulled down my pants my eyes widened as I spotted blood on my underwear. I immediately screamed in terror and almost started crying. I had no clue what was going on, was I dying or something?

My Dads immediately began knocking on the door.

"Honey are you okay? What's going on?" Daddy M asked outside of the bathroom.
"I-I'm bleeding!" I cried, "There's blood on my underwear!"

My Dads were silent for a moment.

"Em, could you let us in?" Daddy S asked.

I walked over, pants down, to the bathroom door and opened it. Daddy S was at the door.

"Wh-What's happening?" I asked.
Daddy S chuckled, "Em, everything's fine, it's completely normal."
"What do you mean?" I asked, my voice still shaky.
"We should've told you about it before you actually got it," Daddy S explained. "It's something all girls go through, it's called your period."
"Period?" I asked, "What's that?"
"Well, it's a cycle that happens every month where blood comes out from your... personal area." Daddy S said. "It can cause cramps, mood swings, all sorts of crazy things. But guess what? That means you're growing up!"
"How long will I have this?" I asked.
"Well it lasts a week every month you get it. But you'll keep having periods every month until your an adult woman and have kids." Daddy S said.
"Do you guys have to go through this?" I asked.
"We actually don't." Daddy S responded.
"That's not fair!" I exclaimed.
"Boys and girls grow up differently, Em." Daddy S said.
"Where did Daddy M go?" I asked.
"To get you some new underwear." Daddy S responded.
"Will I have to change my underwear every day?" I asked.
"No," Daddy S responded, "Tomorrow we'll go out and get you pads, which will stick right onto your underwear."
"How do you know so much about this?" I asked. "I thought you didn't get it."
"I don't," Daddy S explained, "But your aunts, my sisters, got them when they were younger and I actually had to learn from them."
"Oh, okay..." I said.

Suddenly, I felt a wave of nausea trickle up my stomach. Next thing I knew I fell to the floor and began vomiting over the toilet. I then felt Daddy S rub my back.

"Please tell me this is normal too..." I groaned.
"Yes Em, it's all normal..." Daddy S said, letting out a chuckle.

Daddy M finally came into the background with a clean set of underwear which I then put on before going back to bed. Before I could fall asleep however, Daddy S brought in the heating pad from downstairs and plugged it in right besides my bed and turned it on. It felt heavenly through my terrible cramps and I actually fell asleep right away.

Dear Diary,

I got my period today. Probably the worst thing I will ever get in my entire life. But thanks to me getting sick earlier, Daddy S called me out sick from school. Sure I would miss some festivities that we're going to happen because of the last week of school, but at least I didn't miss the actual last day of school.
The bad news about that is that I can't go swimming for a few days. The only way I can is if I get tampons, which sounds really scary. I don't want anything inside of me! The other bad news is that I'll probably be in the worst mood, and possibly pain in my entire life for that entire week.
The good news, for me however, is that Daddy S and Daddy M said they would take care of me while I had my period until I could actually function properly again. Even though they still make me go to school, they still let me relax when I get home, they bring me my dinner and they leave me alone whenever I'm having a mood swing.
I thought having two Dads for this type of thing would be awkward. But both Daddy S and Daddy M both know what it's like through family members. So it makes me feel good knowing they know some things about what I go through, and I'm glad they're there to take care of me!

Hey guys! I kind of wanted to do this type of thing as Emily grew older so sorry if some of you guys may have cringed at this. I just got this idea from my own experience. Basically what Emily went through was what I went through (except my mom was there to take care of me, lol) I'm obviously not going to explain the story lol. But if you guys would like to, leave a comment below about your first experience with your monthly Hell week.

More to come!
