We have been sitting on the floor by the bed with cookies, ice creams, chocolates and toys. No points for guessing why. Ana is under the bed from the past 3 hours and refusing to come out. We have tried everything to get her to come out. Needless to point out nothing is working.
"Ana... Really... We are getting tired here. Just come out already! You think daddies cannot throw away the bed and pull you out?" Carol says partly exhausted and partly amused, sitting on my lap.
I slap her thigh and narrow my eyes. She shrugs. Grey smiles. She has gotten back to her normal self after telling me everything. She knows her daddies will take care of her and she has nothing to worry about.
Grey went to Davey and he told Grey everything. We had asked Ron but never thought about asking Davey what was wrong. Davey told Grey everything and he made sure that Ron doesn't punishes him for any of it. Good idea though.
"Okay Ana stay under the bed for all you want, but you must be hungry, at least have something." Christian says. Five minutes later, no reaction and we peek under the bed to see her fallen asleep.
I so want to pull her out and hug her and make her sleep on the comfortable bed and not on the pillow.
"Should we pull her out?" I ask.
"She'll wake up and start screaming."
"You want to let her stay under the bed forever?"
"No daddy no! How will we play?!" That's Carol. I roll my eyes.
"She is not ready to listen to anything we have to say. You saw her didn't you? She kept on chanting "go away". How do we get her to listen to us? She will scream and then probably faint on us."
"Carol, why don't you go and watch TV for some time? Put on a movie and don't move your ass from the couch until it's over, okay?" I tell Carol.
"You won't... You won't hurt her... Will you?" She asks trying not to show that she's scared.
"Carol, baby, can daddies really hurt you both? Have we ever?" I ask her.
She hugs me and kisses Grey on her way out to the living room.
"What are you thinking Jay?"
"Do you have those shots? You must have two of them left? The ones we get while looking for littles."
"I do... You want to drug her?" He asks me wide eyed.
"That'll get her to calm down. She will be more receptive to what we say when she wakes up after. You tell me of you have got a better plan."
