Saving Little Jenna by Ruth Kennedy

Chapter 8: Clark

When I returned to John's place, I saw Jenna rubbing her eyes and yawning. They must've played so hard they had tired themselves out. But the moment she saw me, drowsiness turned to excitement and her face lit up.

"Daddy, you're back!"

Running towards me, she jumped into my arms and wrapped her legs around my waist, Doggo still in one hand. Rubbing her face against my shirt, she took in my scent and let out a sigh of relief. John patted her back as Michael walked towards us.

"We behaved like you asked us to, uncle Clark," Michael said with a wolf stuffie in his hand. "I might not get ice cream for dinner, but Jenna sure deserves a treat for keeping me out of trouble. I came up with several plans to be naughty and get us in trouble, but she wanted to be a good girl for her Daddy."

"Is that true, sweetheart?" I looked down at her and found her smiling back at me.

John nodded in approval. "Honestly, she's the sweetest and well-behaved girl I've ever met. My boy sure can learn a thing or two. She'll be such a good influence on him. I barely had to watch over them."

Jenna's chest swelled with pride as I kissed her head.

"I'm proud of you, Little one. Good behavior always gets rewarded."

"I'm proud of you too, darling." John gave his boy a quick peck on the lips. "You can have ice cream for dinner, but let's not make a habit of it. Too much sugar leads to rotten teeth for little boys."

Michael did a happy little dance where he stood. He then gave Jenna a goodbye hug before proceeding to make their stuffies hug each other.

"I'll miss you, Michael." She adorably pushed her lower lip out in a pout. "I hope we can play together soon."

I found it amusing how merely hours ago she was scared to death of meeting a stranger, and yet now she wanted to play with him a little longer. I knew leaving her alone with another Little would pay off.

"Yup, there's a lot of playdates to look forward to." I stroked her hair and carried her out the front door as she waved John goodbye.

When we took our seats in the car, she moved over to sit in my lap. I wanted to wait till we got home, but looked like it was time to tell her how important today was.

"I know you had to go through extreme discomfort and fear, but I hope you can see why I did it. Sometimes a Daddy needs to give you what you need instead of what you want. You need to make friends for your social well-being."

"You did the right thing, Daddy," she said as she wiggled in my lap, the semi in my pants growing by the second. "I had such a great time today, I'm glad I trusted you over my irrational fears. I understand you had to leave me alone so I can begin to trust strangers. But I missed you so bad! Don't ever leave me, Daddy. I knew I was being paranoid, but I was scared you wouldn't come back to get me. I'm so needy it would scare anyone away."

"Hush now, my silly girl." I pulled her in closer with my arms wrapped tightly around her, laying soft kisses on her neck. "I wouldn't change a thing about you. I missed you too and it was all I could think about, counting the minutes until I could have my baby girl back in my arms. If you've been abandoned by someone before, I'm sorry for their loss."

"They might as well have." She shrugged as she spoke with a shaking voice. "I was neglected so much, I never felt loved or cared for. But I do with you, Daddy. You're my whole world now and I'm afraid I'll lose it all if I lose you."

Sometimes it seemed that Jenna thought I was in some kind of danger, that she was putting me in it merely by being with me. One thing was clear. Whoever she was running away from wouldn't mind hurting me to take her away from me, but I wasn't afraid. Send one or send them all, there was no way I was letting go of my baby girl.

"I want you to know that I'd never leave you, sweetheart. You're stuck with your Daddy for the rest of your life, whether you like it or not. Yes, sweetheart, this isn't some temporary fling for me. I know it's too soon, but years from now when you're ready, I'll go down on one knee and hope you say yes."

She nodded eagerly and wiggled again, this time rubbing her ass against my hard cock. I let out a quiet moan and planted my lips against hers, pushing my tongue in her mouth for a passionate kiss. She reciprocated the act by pushing her tongue in my mouth this time. I sucked onto it and then gently bit onto her lower lip. She knew what she was doing as she seductively ground her ass against the tent in my pants. She could go from an innocent girl to horny in mere seconds and I loved that about her.

After making out for a while, she slid back onto her seat. I adjusted the tent in my pants and started the car.

When we reached home, I carried her upstairs as she sucked onto her binky, loving the way my hand felt on her diapered bottom. Stopping before a door, I helped her get back onto her feet.

"Wasn't this room locked before?" She said, plucking Doggo out of my hand and getting down on all fours. I could get used to watching her crawl around the house. It only made her look cuter.

"Daddy will be right with you, honey." I nudged her bottom. "I turned this room into storage. Help Daddy and fetch me a towel from inside. I'll warm up some milk for you meanwhile. It's about time you tried warm milk out of a sippy cup."

Her eyes twinkled up at me as she wiggled her cute butt from excitement. When I stepped back, she opened the door and hugged Doggo closer to her chest before crawling inside. Instead of going downstairs, I entered the room myself to watch the shock on her face.

"Surprise!" I yelled and watched her look around the room with her mouth open. "Welcome to your new nursery. This is the important work I had to take care of while you were at Michael's."

She was still speechless at the sight before her. I had turned the guest room next to our bedroom into a nursery. In one corner there was an adult-sized changing table, while the other corner had a crib-style bed. In the middle was a play area with a variety of toys. Shelves lining the walls contained various books from coloring and join-the-dots to bedtime stories. The closet was filled with everything a little girl could ever need, things like costumes, princess dresses, training pants, and onesies.

She sat there taking it all in before speaking quietly. "How did you manage to bring them in here all at once?"

"I ordered them online and stored them elsewhere. I scheduled for them to be moved here today."

"So you've been planning this surprise for a few days now?" She continued to speak in a low voice. "So much time and effort spent just for me?"

"Of course, sweetheart." I nodded, hoping it wasn't too much too soon. "Do you like it?"

"Like it?" She stood up and threw her arms around me, her Little cadence slowly fading as her voice cracked. "I love it. No one has ever done something this big for me. No matter what happens to me, I'll never forget how nice you've been to me the past few weeks."

"Nothing's going to happen to you." I stroked her pigtail and gave her a quick peck on the lips. "No one's going to take me away from you. I simply won't allow it. Now, do you want to see some of your new toys?"

"Yes, Daddy." Just like that, with the mention of toys, her Little cadence was back.

When I patted her on the bottom, she wrapped her legs around my waist and shifted to one side of my waist. Carrying her around the room, I let her touch things she wanted. When we reached the shelf, she picked out a couple of books and stared at the cover art.

"So many books on dogs." She put them all back when I leaned her back toward the shelf. "Will you read one as a bedtime story tonight, Daddy?"

There were still so many things we hadn't done together, things like reading bedtime stories and feeding her lunch. I planned on having a playdate soon with just the two of us, which I hoped would slowly turn into a daily routine.

"How could I say no to such a sweet face?" I kissed her on the lips, catching her by surprise and causing her to giggle.

Nevertheless, I could see a glimpse of nervousness in her eyes. Every time we did something ageplay-related for the first time she turned anxious. In her head, she probably thought I would change my mind all of a sudden or grow tired of her one day and kick her out. I could've told her that wouldn't happen, but I wanted her to realize that on her own. She needed to trust me enough to know I was in it for a lifetime.

Reaching the toy bins in the center of the nursery, I sat on the floor with her on my lap. She was happy going through her new toys, and I was just as happy looking at her smile. She excitedly went through one after another, showing me her favorite one before quickly changing her mind.

"Daddy, you're staring at me." Her cheeks turned red as she played with a robotic toy dog on the floor.

"I just can't get over how lucky I am. You look cute enough to be eaten up."

"I'm the lucky one," she said as she turned to me. "You're the best Daddy in the whole world, and this is the best gift ever."

"I received the biggest gift ever the day you walked into my life, sweetheart. Thank you for coming into my life and changing it. I don't know what I'd do without you."

She threw her arms around me and we just sat there for a few minutes hugging. Sometimes actions were stronger than words, and us sitting there in each other's embrace showed how much we needed each other. There was nowhere I'd rather be and nothing I'd rather be doing. Something as simple as love was enough to solve all problems sometimes, and it was definitely true in our case.

When she finally broke the hug, I carried her to the closet and let her touch all her new clothes. Her gaze was fixed on the pull-ups with little dogs on them. I pictured her in a diapered babydoll dress walking her dog outside and the image in my head was just too darn cute.

"Want to try your first pull-up?" I asked.

She looked unsure, but she shivered as she nodded. There was no doubt we were both turned on by the idea. Despite her not using it, changing her diaper was so arousing to me because it was such a private thing.

Laying her onto the changing table, I pulled her diaper down and powdered her crotch. It was adorable how she cooed and kicked her limbs in excitement. At the same time, the lust in her eyes was unmistakable. She needed her Daddy to touch her, but she was too shy to ask for it. I decided to wait until the day she’d grow comfortable enough to ask for Daddy's touch.

She spent most of the day playing with her new toys and watching cartoons while I watched over her. Later that night with just the bedside lamp on, she lay in her new crib-styled bed covered with a dog printed blankie.

"Once upon a time there was a little princess who wanted a puppy so bad…," I began reading her bedtime story.

She was excited to see how it ends, but the setting had pushed her so deep into the Little headspace that she fell asleep halfway through. She looked so peaceful asleep. At least the demons she'd been running away from couldn't bother her in sleep.

"Goodnight, darling," I whispered and lay a kiss on her forehead.

"Night-night, Daddy," she said in her sleep.

When she frowned and patted the space next to her, I picked her stuffie off the floor and handed it to her. She let out a content sigh and sucked onto her non-existent pacifier.

Before she could realize it was missing, I pressed her favorite pink binky against her lips.

"Thank you, Daddy," she said before beginning to suck on it.

I sat there for a little while taking it all in. Just a few weeks ago I was so sure I'd never find someone because I was too caring and controlling. It was crazy how better life could get by having the right person by your side. Jenna had forever changed my life for the better without even realizing it.
