Daddy's Angel (Montana Daddies 7)

“You did all this?” she asked as he tugged her gently forward. He’d laid out a blanket on the floor and set out some plastic plates and cups. In the middle of the blanket there was a large platter filled with sandwiches with all the crusts cut off. Then there was a bowl of grapes and some cheese and crackers.

“Yep. Wasn’t hard. Can I pour you a sparkling grape juice?”

She giggled. “Yes. Please. How did you know I like picnics?”

“You told me, when you said I needed to cut the crusts off my sandwich.”

She blushed. “Oh yeah.”

“I’d take you outside for a picnic, but it’s not safe. Also a bit cold out there. Got to keep my baby warm.”

She smiled shyly.

“You can have your juice in a big girl cup, or you can have it in this.” He pulled a sippy cup out of the basket.

Her breath caught in her chest. “Where did you get that?”

“Got it this morning.”

“That was the errand you had to run?”

“Yep. Also grabbed a few other things.” He stood and walked out of the room, returning with a bag, which he handed over to her.

The first thing she pulled out was a puppy onesie. It was so soft, and she immediately rubbed it up against her face. “Oh wow, I love it!”

“Thought you might. It will keep you warm and it’s cute. Added bonus, it’s got a butt flap. When you’re naughty, I can just flip you over my knee, pull down the butt flap and spank you.”

She gaped at him. Then she shook her head. Had he seriously just said that? “That’s not what a butt flap is for.”

“Sure it is. Or if it’s not, it should be. Found it at a store for Littles that’s not that far from here.”

“Really? There’s a store that sells things for Littles?” Come to think of it, that sippy cup was kind of adult sized.

“Yep. Was a good find.”

She reached into the bag and drew out an oversized pacifier. She immediately went bright red. “I don’t think my Little is that young.”

“You were sucking your thumb when you were sleepwalking. Not great for your teeth. That one is orthodontist approved.”

“Seriously?” An orthodontist actually approved this over-sized pacifier that could only be for an adult?

“Yep. I asked the woman at the desk. She was very helpful.”

She cleared her throat. “I’m still not sure. . .”

“Don’t have to use it right away. But I catch you sucking your thumb, I’ll replace it with the pacifier.”

She wrinkled her nose but moved on to the next item. She squealed as she pulled out the pen. It was bright pink with a huge, sequined heart at the end of it.

“I love this! How did you know I love sequins!”

“Saw your notebook. It’s cute. This is cute.” He shrugged, looking slightly embarrassed. “I like cute things.”

Oh my God. He was so adorable sometimes.

She drew out the next thing. It was a set of pastel coloring pens. Followed by a coloring book. Holy crap. He was spoiling her.

The next item shocked her. Well, items, but they were all packaged together. Her face grew hot. “Is this. . .”
