I pulled the bottle out of her mouth, careful not to wake her, set it on the ground, and ran my fingers over her cheek. I hadn’t realized how special she would become to me so soon. She was my little girl, and I cherished the fact that she allowed me to see this side of her, especially after how Boyle had treated her.
I planned to take care of my little girl no matter what. I thought about her punishment earlier today. At first, I had planned to give her a long spanking to bring home the point that she shouldn’t lie to me. But then I was afraid a spanking would be too much for her when she wasn’t feeling well, so I decided to split the punishment into two parts, with a hundred lines and a shorter spanking both making clear that she shouldn’t lie to Daddy.
In the future, I wouldn’t be as easy on her, but for now, I thought this was all she could take. Also at some point in the immediate future, I planned to get her to try and talk with my therapist friend who was also active in the age play lifestyle. This week showed that Juliana had a lot of unresolved feelings about Boyle and that in order to get over them, she would have to talk to someone about them. I was hoping she would agree to talk to the therapist, or at least to me. All I wanted was to help her get past her demons and feel better.
I decided I could think about how to best broach the subject of talking to me or the therapist later. For now, I laid my head back against the couch and closed my eyes.

I woke up and immediately realized that Juliana was gone.
“Juliana?” I called as I stood up and headed towards her bedroom.
“In here,” she answered just as I got to her bedroom door. She was sitting on her bed with her teddy on her chest, flipping through a big picture book.
“What are you doing, sweetie?” I asked, walking over and sitting down on the other side of the bed.
“Teddy and I are just looking at the pictures in this book,” she said, flipping the page again.
“Okay.” I glanced over at the clock and saw it was already noon. I’d slept a lot longer than I thought. “How does some lunch sound?”
“Ummm… it sounds good, but I’m still really full from breakfast,” she said, giving me a sheepish smile.
“I’ll make sure to make it a light lunch then.”
“Can teddy and I stay here while you get it ready?”
“Sure. I’ll call you when I’m done,” I said, giving her a kiss on the forehead. I got up off the bed and headed into the kitchen to make lunch.
Fifteen minutes later, I called Juliana to come in the kitchen for lunch.
“One minute,” she called back to me.
I placed our sandwiches on plates and called her again. “Juliana, come here right now!”
“One more minute!” she shouted back.
“Juliana, if I have to come in there, it’ll be because I’m going to give your bottom another spanking!” I was going to count to five and if she didn’t show up, I’d go in there and spank her. But before I could even get to one, she was flying out the bedroom door with her teddy bear still in her arms.
“I’m here, I’m here!” she said, sitting down where I’d just placed the crazy straw cup filled with milk.
“Is this a peanut butter and jelly sandwich?”
“Yes it is.”
“I love these!” she said, picking hers up and taking a huge bite. She put it down and said, “That is delicious! Here teddy, try a bite.” She started to bring her sandwich towards him, but I stopped her.
“Baby girl, I don’t think that’s the smartest idea. The jelly might get stuck in teddy’s fur.”
“Okay,” she said, putting her sandwich back on her plate. She moved teddy so that he sat in the empty chair next to her. “Now he can still see everything,” she said before taking another bite.
“Yes, he can,” I laughed. My little girl was so silly at times.
The rest of the afternoon went well. After lunch, Juliana, teddy, and I read all of the picture books she owned. Just as I was finishing reading, her eyes began drooping again and she was soon fast asleep. I covered her with a blanket and left her alone to go and clean up her apartment.
When she woke up, she decided she wanted to help me clean up. With our busy hands, we managed to get her entire apartment cleaned in no time. Once we finished that, we had dinner and watched a movie, and then both of us fell asleep once again.

It had been a week since Robert had come over to my apartment to take care of me. True to his word, he was with me almost every minute I wasn’t at work. The only exception was on Thursdays when Mark picked me up. I liked hanging out with Mark. He let me get away with pretty much anything… unlike Robert.
