Bechloe - One For My Baby

Chapter XV

"There's my baby girl!" Randall beamed once he saw Chloe enter the kitchen.

"Hi, daddy," Chloe smiled and met her father in the middle for a hug.

"How was your sleepover?"

"Good. I had lots of fun."

"Did you?"

"Yes," Chloe nodded, pulling away from the man.

"That's good. I've missed you, Chlobear." He gently stroked her cheek, making Chloe smile nervously. "Did you miss me?"

"Yes, daddy."

"I missed you lots. It's been lonely without you here, Chlobear."

"Well, I'm back now."

"Yes, you are." Randall smiled at his daughter, a little too long for Chloe's liking but that wasn't uncommon. "You're so beautiful you know that?"

"Thank you, daddy."

"You are. My beautiful baby girl... So beautiful..." His finger ran along her jawline then stopped at her chin where he tilted it up and planted a gentle kiss on her lips.

It took everything in Chloe not to scrunch her eyes shut and pull away. Instead, she had to wait patiently until her father had finished.

"Are you hungry?" He asked, stepping back.

"Yes,"

"I'm making us an early dinner tonight. I want us to have an early night."

"Okay."

"Did you eat while you were over there?"

"Yes, I ate a lot."

"Did you remember to take your vitamins?"

Chloe's blood went cold when he asked. Chloe had forgotten to take them. She was too busy having fun with Beca that she forgot. Chloe was given strict instructions to ALWAYS take her vitamins. Randall always got so mad whenever Chloe forgot, which was rare because Chloe was terrified of her father when he got mad.

"I... I..."

Randall froze. "Chloe?"

"Mm?"

"Did you take your vitamins?"

Chloe hooded her eyes from the man.

"Chloe, look at me," he ordered and Chloe obeyed. "Did you take them?"

Chloe couldn't answer. Instead, she just shook her head nervously.

"You didn't take them?" Randall practically yelled.

"I'm sorry, daddy! I forgot!"

"What did I tell you about not taking them? You MUST take them! YOU MUST! Dammit, Chloe!"

"I'm sorry!"

"SORRY ISN'T GOOD ENOUGH!" Randall bellowed then turned around and kicked the fridge door, making Chloe jump.

She hated when her father got mad and it frightened her. She couldn't do anything and she felt so helpless.

"Come here," Randall stormed over to Chloe and grabbed her wrist.

"Daddy! No! Stop!" Chloe cried.

"Shut up!" He yelled and yanked Chloe into the laundry and threw her onto the floor. "You're going to sit here and think about what you've done! You will go without dinner and you will NOT make a sound. Understand?"

Chloe was now in tears but she nodded at her father.

"And you won't be staying over that your friend's house anymore."
