Kaiden POV.
River shifted, but I couldn’t do that yet, I really wanted to shift, daddy took me back to our room where I took a nap, hugging my teddy lulu. My dreams were filled with my dragon, I could see her but I couldn’t shift, that put me in a really bad mood, I woke up grumpy. I called Adrian who took forever to come and get me, he changed my diaper, clipped a paci to my collar, handed me some papers and crayons, telling me to go play.
He left me in the sitting area and went to the kitchenette to cut some of my apples, I didn’t want any, he wasn’t noticing my pout. He placed the plate next to me, it had some green and red apple cut into thin slices.
“Don’t you want any of the apple Kaddy? You picked them” he says trying to hand me a red apple slice, I push his hand away.
“Kaiden” he says in a firm voice trying to get the paci out of my mouth so I could eat but I shook my head no.
“What’s the pout for?” he asks, I just shake my head, still pouting, I kick the paper and crayons away folding my arms over my chest.
“That’s enough Kaiden, what got you so worked up?” he asks but I keep pouting, pushing the plate away too, making apples fly all over the place. Adrian got really mad at me for that, his eyes flashes crimson, he pulled me off the floor pulling me by the arms and dragging me toward one of the room corners.
“You’re going on time out” he says making hot tears go down my face, I didn’t want time out, I stomped my foot angry at him, why is he punishing me.
“Drop the attitude Kaiden” he warns me, but I don’t I keep glaring at the wall waiting for him to come to get me, it took him forever, more tears went down my face.
“Come here Kaiden” he orders me, I walk toward him slowly, the paci still tucked in my mouth to avoid speaking.
“Explain yourself little girl we were having fun, why the attitude?” he asks, I just shrug tears going down my face, I didn’t want to explain, he doesn’t get it, I’m mad at my own dragon.
“Kaiden?” he asks again, the tears were now free-falling on my face now, he pulls me toward him crushing my body against his, my sobs got louder my paci falling out of my mouth.
“Are you hurt? You feeling icky pidge? Show daddy where it hurt” he says all too quickly, I just keep crying, the thing that hurt is, I don’t know what hurt anymore.
“Daddy,” I say still crying, I’m really mad at my dragon now, why won’t she come out, she only shows up in dreams.
“Yes, baby? What’s wrong with my princess?” he asks pulling us toward one of the couch, sitting down with me in his lap.
“I mad at my dwagon” I finally confess.
“And why is my princess mad?” he asks confused.
“She no showing up, she just twease” I say.
“Twease? You mean tease?” he asks making me groan, no fair correcting me, I’m crying.
“You meanie” I accuse him, making him sigh, he gets a tissue and cleans my face for me.
“Your dragon isn’t teasing you, princess, she’s just not ready to come out yet” he says, but that’s not fair, I want her out.
“Me want it now!” I say with a big pout.
“I’m sorry princess, she’s just not ready yet, but how about daddy shows you his dragon side? Maybe take you out for a fly?” he suggests, that makes me perk up, I never went on a fly before! And I could see his dragon! I haven’t seen his dragon yet!
“We go now? We go Now” I ask so happy, I start jumping up and down in his lap trying to drag him off the couch with me but he keeps me in place refusing to get up.
“Not now, maybe tomorrow when we can someplace private” he says making me pout before I start to cry again.
“No no Kaddy, don’t cry sweetheart, we’ll go tomorrow,” he says but I keep crying.
“This is gonna be a long day and night” Adrian groans bouncing me around, trying to calm me down.
