Daddy's Love

Chapter 59: 59 - Shots to daddies

Fun fact about Jay- He is as scared of shots as much as the littles, if not more and tomorrow we have

to go get our yearly shots. Last year, we did not speak for two days when I had to make him take his

shots. It's always on the same date every year and Jay starts acting all cranky from at least ten days

before the date.

This time, he doesn't remember it yet. I don't know whether to be happy about it or sad.

It's two vampire shots that go in one arm each and it fucking sucks. My arms are sore for at least two

days and Jay is a beast for at least a week after. With the girls, I am even more apprehensive. With

Carol being around last year, he was sulking alone for two days before he decided to acknowledge my

presence solely because Carol and I were going out for a day at the Amusement Park and Ice-creams

after.

I deliberate on whether I should tell him tonight or tomorrow morning. If I tell him tonight, both of us are

not getting any sleep for sure. If I tell him tomorrow, I have no clue how will he react.

To add onto the problem, he is already super agitated. I think we went too far with the teasing the past © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

week. I will go to talk to Carol before we sleep tonight and ask her to stop.

"Carol and Ana, we need to talk." I go to the girls' room while they were playing before bed, after

making sure Jay is in the kitchen, making hot chocolate for the girls.

I sit and they look up.

"Carol? Remember when daddy had to take shots last year?" I tell Carol and she flinches, while Ana

looks nonplussed.

"Well, daddies have to take two shots tomorrow and Jay won't be happy about it. So, no teasing him

anymore, alright? And try and be good girls, please?" I tell them.

"How has he been okay with it the past week? He went nuts last year." Carol asks.

"Well, he doesn't know yet that he has to, that we have to take our shots tomorrow." I tell her.

"When are you planning on telling him?" Carol asks and we look at the door to see a stone-faced Jay

standing there with two bottles of milk.

Fuck.

This is not how I wanted him to know.

Both the girls look scared.

Jay forces a smile and comes inside the room.

"Time for bed babies..."

He tucks both the girls in, and kisses them good night. I watch, standing by the wall.

And then he turns around and leaves the room without even a glance at me.

I smile at them and kiss them good night and go after Jay.

"I got to know just an hour ago." I tell him.

"It's okay. I am fine." He tells me. But he is not. I can see it.

"Look... I was about to come and tell you... "

"Shut up. JUST SHUT UP. I told you I am fine, didn't I?"

I blanch. Here goes nothing.

He grabs his night clothes and goes in to change. He is fuming.

I have a headache. Fuck Fuck Fuck. We are not getting any sleep tonight.

I change my clothes too and wait for Jay to come out.

He does and then goes to the kitchen and pulls out a cigarette. He hardly ever smokes.

I follow him.

"We have to be there at 11 in the morning." I brave telling him.

He scoffs. "Why don't you go tell the girls first?"

"I was just... You know what? Fuck it. Forget it." I turn around and go to the room. He won't understand

anything I say right now.

"When were you planning on telling me?" He asks. I turn around and look at him.

"I don't know... "

"Who told you we were to go there tomorrow?" I am scared of his low scary voice.

I got a text from Timothy. I wonder if I should tell him that.

"I... got a... text from the Hospital."

He nods.

It’s okay, I guess. Jay takes care of all of us. He needs us to care of him once a year. We can do that

much for people we love, can't we? He is just scared and acting out. I remind myself. Like the girls do.

It's okay. He'll come around. He will be fine. We will be fine.
