“No lying, then.” Getting up, he shifted her over slightly in the bed before sitting next to her and turning off the light.
“Lean against my chest, baby.”
She snuggled into him, and he pressed the nipple of the bottle to her lips. “Open for Daddy.”
Parting her lips, she sucked on the warm liquid. Vanilla. She managed several sips before her breathing grew more congested.
Great.
The nipple was pulled from her mouth and then a tissue was placed in front of her nose. “Blow.”
Urgh.
She couldn’t deny feeling better afterward, though, and it was easier to suck down the liquid. Her eyes started to drift shut. The nipple was pulled from her mouth, and she yawned.
“Good girl. Time for sleep.” He shifted away from her, and she made a sound of distress, grabbing for him.
“No, don’t leave me, Daddy.”
“You want me to stay until you fall asleep, baby?”
“Stay. All night, Daddy. Please?” she begged.
“Okay. I can’t say no to you.”
Hmm. Well, that was good to know.
“Open up, baby.”
“No thanks, Daddy.”
“That wasn’t a request, Bumblebee.”
“Well, it should have been, Daddy. Because I don’t wanna open up.”
“Someone seems to be feeling better,” he said dryly. “Put your sassy pants on today.”
She grinned at him. “That is where you’re wrong, Daddy. I don’ts have any pants on. I have a onesie!” The same one from last night. She should probably get up and have a shower.
That sounded like it would take a lot of energy, though. And she didn’t have much to spare.
He snorted, grinning at her. “Cute. You’re still eating some food today.”
She wrinkled her nose at the bowl he was holding. He’d come in a few minutes ago holding a tray filled with a bowl of porridge, a glass of orange juice, and her medicine.
After taking the medicine, he’d grabbed the bowl of porridge and a spoon.
“I don’t think that’s actually food, Daddy.”
“Sure, it is. It’s porridge.”
She eyed him suspiciously. “Chicken nuggies is food. Toast and jam is food. Muffins is food. That is not-food. See the difference?”
“Not really. Porridge is good for you. And it will be nice on your throat.”
“Ice cream is nice on my throat,” she told him
“Ice cream isn’t good for you when you have a cold.”
