Bear

I really was a little. I wasn’t going to examine it too closely yet; instead, I chose to have breakfast with my Daddy—I still couldn’t believe the happy butterflies that burst into life inside my stomach every time I thought of Luke as my Daddy—and then we sat on the couch and ordered stuffies from Amazon.

“I don’t know which one to choose, Daddy!” I was whining and I knew it, but there just were too many amazing ones.

“How about you choose one and I choose another?” he said after we’d narrowed them down to a handful that were really cute.

I sighed. I guess I could do that.

He turned the laptop toward me, holding it on his own lap still because I’d almost dropped it when I’d gotten too enthusiastic about—yeah, it had to be the cow, right?

“I want the highland cow.” I peered at Daddy. “Not just because it moos.”

He chuckled and ruffled my hair. “Okay. I think I’m gonna go with the elephant with the big floppy ears. They look soft and I know you like soft things.”

How he’d picked that up already would’ve been a mystery if I wasn’t currently rubbing my fingers on one of the fleece blankets I’d rucked up next to me for comfort.

“Okay. That sounds good.” I nodded.

For most of the morning, I’d managed to not think of poor Tonya, but seeing all these stuffies that were whole and perfect and clean suddenly made my lip wobble.

I tried to keep it all in, I’d been pitiful enough last night, but then a small sob escaped me.

“Oh, baby boy,” Daddy cooed. He quickly put the stuffies into the basket and clicked order, then moved the laptop onto the coffee table before pulling me into his side. “Come here.”

I went more than willingly. I’d never felt this safe around anyone, and somehow that made me feel even… well, littler. I didn’t start to cry again, but I let out a hiccuppy sob every now and then, and the tears stayed on the inside this time.

Daddy put on the TV and started to browse Netflix for something to watch.

“You can put on one of your Finnish shows,” I whispered.

He glanced at me. “Crime okay?”

I shrugged. I liked Nordic Noir fine. “I can nap if it’s too much.” Before he could object, I added, “You’re my Daddy and I want you to watch something for you today. I wanna cuddle.”

I felt his chuckle more than I heard it. He found Bordertown—which he liked more than the other one, Deadwind, that we’d watched a bit before—and started from the next episode we hadn’t seen yet.

I enjoyed the slow pace and all the less familiar things on these shows. The fact that sometimes Daddy would pause the show and explain something or comment on something like the accents of the people or something like that, was a huge plus.

I decided to lie down with my head on his lap, and he stroked my hip with his fingers as he watched the show.
